2. Safety Guidelines
Adherence to safety guidelines is paramount for the safe enjoyment of your Intex pool. Always prioritize safety to prevent accidents and injuries.
- Continuous and competent adult supervision of children and the disabled is required at all times.
- Secure all doors, windows and safety barriers to prevent unauthorized, unintentional or unsupervised pool entry.
- Install a safety barrier that will eliminate access to the pool for young children and pets.
- Pool and pool accessories are to be assembled and disassembled by adults only.
- Never dive, jump or slide into an above-ground pool or any shallow body of water.
- Failure to set up pool on flat, level, compact ground or over filling could result in the pool’s collapse and the possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out/ejected.
- Do not lean, straddle, or exert pressure on the inflatable ring or top rim as injury or flooding could occur. Do not allow anyone to sit on, climb, or straddle the sides of the pool.
- Remove all toys and flotation devices from, in, and around the pool when it is not in use. Objects in the pool attract young children.
- Keep toys, chairs, tables, or any objects that a child could climb on at least four feet (1.22 meters) away from the pool.
- Keep rescue equipment by the pool and clearly post emergency numbers at the phone closest to the pool. Examples of rescue equipment: coast guard approved ring buoy with attached rope, strong rigid pole not less than twelve feet (12') [3.66m] long.
- Never swim alone or allow others to swim alone.
- Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside barrier of the pool.
- If swimming at night use properly installed artificial lighting to illuminate all safety signs, ladders, pool floor and walkways.
- Stay away from the pool when using alcohol or drugs/medication.
- Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious injury.
- Pool covers must be completely removed before pool use. Children and adults cannot be seen under a pool cover.
- Do not cover the pool while you or anyone else is in the pool.
- Keep the pool and pool area clean and clear to avoid slips and falls and objects that may cause injury.
3. Setup Instructions
Proper setup is crucial for the stability and longevity of your Intex pool. Follow these steps carefully.
3.1 Site Preparation
Select a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, or loose soil. The pool requires a total space of 25' 10" x 13' 10" x 52" for proper installation. Ensure adequate drainage and proximity to a GFCI-protected electrical outlet for the pump.
Figure 3.1: Pool dimensions and required space for setup. Note the 45-inch water depth.
3.2 Frame Assembly
The Easy Lock System allows for quick, tool-free assembly. Connect the galvanized steel frame components by snapping them together. Ensure all T-Joints are securely engaged for maximum stability.
Figure 3.2: The Easy-Lock System simplifies frame assembly, requiring no tools.
3.3 Liner Installation
Carefully spread the 3-Ply PVC pool liner within the assembled frame. Ensure the liner is centered and smooth, with no wrinkles on the bottom surface. The liner is designed for high tear resistance.
Figure 3.3: The Super-Tough 3-Ply PVC liner provides enhanced durability and tear resistance.
3.4 Connecting Filtration System
Connect the Krystal Clear Sand Filter System and Saltwater System components according to the detailed instructions provided in the separate pump manual. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened to prevent leaks.
Figure 3.4: Overview of included accessories, including the Krystal Clear Sand Filter & Saltwater System.
3.5 Filling the Pool
Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the liner will settle and the frame will become more rigid. Monitor the water level and ensure it does not exceed the recommended maximum depth of 45 inches.
4. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the operation of the filtration and saltwater systems to maintain optimal water quality.
4.1 Krystal Clear Sand Filter & Saltwater System QX2100
This integrated system is designed to keep your pool water clean and sanitized. The sand filter removes physical impurities, while the saltwater system generates natural chlorine for disinfection, reducing the need for harsh chemical additives.
Figure 4.1: The Krystal Clear Sand Filter and Saltwater System QX2100 features 6 functions for comprehensive water treatment.
- Functions: The system offers Filtration, Backwash, Rinse, Recirculate, Drain, and Close System functions. Refer to the separate pump manual for detailed instructions on selecting and using each function.
- Sand Lifespan: The sand in the filter can last up to 5 years with regular backwashing, providing long-term filtration efficiency.
- Pump Flow Rate: The pump has a flow rate of 2100 GPH (Gallons Per Hour), ensuring efficient water circulation.
- Hydro Aeration Technology: Intex's patented Hydro Aeration Technology is precision engineered to improve filtration, clarity, and freshness in above ground pools.
4.2 Daily Operation
Run the filter pump daily for several hours to ensure proper water circulation and filtration. The exact duration depends on pool size, usage, and environmental factors. Consult the pump manual for recommended run times.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your pool clean, safe, and extend its lifespan.
5.1 Water Chemistry
Regularly test your pool water for pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels. Adjust as necessary using appropriate pool chemicals. The saltwater system helps maintain chlorine levels, but occasional adjustments may still be required.
5.2 Cleaning
Utilize the included Deluxe Maintenance Kit for routine cleaning. This kit typically includes a skimmer net, vacuum head, and brush to remove debris from the surface and bottom of the pool.
Figure 5.1: The Deluxe Cleaning Kit provides essential tools for maintaining pool cleanliness.
- Skimming: Use the skimmer net with the telescopic pole to remove leaves, insects, and other floating debris daily.
- Vacuuming: Attach the vacuum head to the telescopic pole and connect it to the filter system's suction port to clean the pool floor.
- Brushing: Use the brush attachment to scrub the pool walls and floor, preventing algae buildup.
- Backwashing: Periodically backwash your sand filter to clean the sand and maintain filtration efficiency. Refer to the pump manual for frequency and procedure.
5.3 Pool Cover
Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use to prevent debris from entering the water and to reduce evaporation.
5.4 Winterization
Before freezing temperatures arrive, properly winterize your pool to protect it from damage. This typically involves draining the pool, disconnecting and storing the pump and filter, and thoroughly cleaning and drying the liner and frame components. Consult the full user manual for detailed winterization steps.
6. Troubleshooting
This section provides general guidance for common issues. For detailed troubleshooting, always refer to the comprehensive user manual.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudy Water | Insufficient filtration, improper chemical balance, high debris load. | Increase filter run time, test and adjust water chemistry, backwash filter, vacuum pool. |
