Setup Instructions

Setting up your INTEX Prism Frame Pool is designed to be straightforward, typically taking about 60 minutes to be ready for water. Ensure you have a clear, level area before beginning.

1. Site Preparation: Choose a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, or excessive slopes. The ground cloth should be spread out on this prepared area.
2. Ground Cloth Placement: Lay the included ground cloth flat on your chosen site. This provides an extra layer of protection for the pool liner.
3. Pool Liner Unfolding: Carefully unfold the pool liner on top of the ground cloth, ensuring it is centered and oriented correctly.
4. Frame Assembly: Assemble the steel frame components according to the diagrams in the full user manual (link below). The innovative composite T-Joints make this process tool-free and efficient. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Liner Attachment: Attach the pool liner to the assembled frame, following the specific instructions for your model to ensure a proper fit and tension.
6. Pump and Ladder Installation: Install the Krystal Clear™ Cartridge Filter Pump and the removable ladder as per their respective instructions. Ensure all hoses are securely connected and the pump is placed on a stable surface.
7. Filling the Pool: Begin filling the pool with water. As the pool fills, smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the liner. Stop filling when the water reaches the recommended fill line.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your pool clean and extending its lifespan.

• Filter Cartridge Cleaning/Replacement: The filter cartridge should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every few days) and replaced every two weeks, or sooner if heavily soiled.
• Skimming and Vacuuming: Remove debris from the water surface daily using a skimmer net. Periodically vacuum the pool bottom to remove settled dirt and debris.
• Liner Inspection: Periodically inspect the pool liner for any signs of wear, tears, or punctures. A patch kit is included for minor repairs.
• Frame Inspection: Check the steel frame for any signs of rust or damage. The T-Joints are engineered for high strength and infused with UV inhibitor to ensure weather resistance.
• Winterization: For seasonal use, properly drain, clean, and store the pool and its components during the off-season to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
