Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when using the swimming pool. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

• Adult Supervision: Never leave children unattended in or around the pool.
• Level Ground: Ensure the pool is set up on a completely level surface to prevent collapse and uneven water distribution.
• Electrical Safety: The filter pump is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) that shuts off the pump if current is exposed to water. Always ensure electrical connections are dry and follow local electrical codes.
• Ladder Safety: Use the provided ladder for safe entry and exit. Ensure it is stable before use.
• No Diving: This is an above-ground pool. Do not dive or jump into the pool.
• Chemical Handling: Handle pool chemicals according to manufacturer's instructions. Keep them out of reach of children.
• Puncture Prevention: The pool is constructed with puncture-resistant 3-ply material, but sharp objects can still damage it. Clear the setup area of any sharp debris.
• Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Setup Guide

Setting up your Intex Easy Set Pool is designed to be straightforward, typically taking as little as 15 minutes before filling with water.

1. Prepare the Site: Select a firm, level area free of sharp objects, debris, and excessive slopes. Lay out the ground cloth (included) to provide additional protection for the pool bottom.
2. Lay Out the Pool: Unfold the pool liner and spread it out evenly on the prepared ground cloth. Ensure the drain plug is accessible and facing away from any structures.
3. Inflate the Top Ring: Locate the inflation valve on the top ring of the pool. Use an air pump (manual or electric, not included unless specified in your package) to inflate the top ring until it is firm but not overinflated. This inflatable ring provides structural support as the pool fills.
4. Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the pool walls will naturally rise and take shape. Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the pool as it fills, working from the center outwards.
5. Install Filter Pump: Connect the Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump (model 28637EG, 1,000 GPH) according to the separate pump instruction manual. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened and the pump is plugged into a GFCI-protected outlet.
6. Assemble Ladder: Assemble the removable ladder as per its dedicated instructions. Place it securely against the pool wall for safe entry and exit.

Operating the Pool

Proper operation ensures clean water and extends the life of your pool.

Filter Pump Operation

The included Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump (100-120V, 1,000 GPH) is essential for maintaining water clarity. It features automatic daily filtration with 2-10 hour cycles.

• Run the pump daily for optimal filtration. The duration depends on pool usage and water condition.
• Ensure the filter cartridge (Type A or C) is clean and properly installed.
• The pump is equipped with Hydro Aeration Technology, which improves water circulation, clarity, and freshness by injecting air into the water.

Solar Cover Usage

The included solar cover helps to warm the pool water and reduce evaporation.

• Place the solar cover bubble-side down on the water surface when the pool is not in use.
• It helps retain heat, especially overnight, and can extend your swimming season.
• The cover also helps to keep debris out of the pool, reducing the load on your filter system.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for water quality and pool longevity.

Filter Cartridge Cleaning and Replacement

• Rinse the filter cartridge with a garden hose daily or as needed to remove debris.
• Replace the filter cartridge every two weeks or sooner if it remains dirty after rinsing. The pool comes with 6 Type A replacement filter cartridges.

Water Chemistry

Maintaining proper water chemistry is vital for hygiene and preventing algae growth. Test your pool water regularly using test strips and adjust chemicals as needed.

• Chlorine: Use a floating chlorine dispenser with 3-inch chlorine tablets to maintain a consistent chlorine level.
• Alkalinity: Monitor alkalinity levels. Baking soda can be used to increase alkalinity if levels are too low.
• Shock Treatment: Apply pool shock periodically (e.g., monthly) to kill bacteria and algae, especially after heavy use or rain.
• Algae Prevention: Consider using an algaecide, such as copper sulfate crystals, as a preventative measure.
• Water Clarifier: If water becomes cloudy, a water clarifier can help coagulate fine particles for easier filtration or vacuuming.

Cleaning the Pool Liner

• Use a pool net to skim debris from the surface.
• For the pool bottom, a garden hose can be adapted as a siphon vacuum to remove settled debris. Attach one end to a vacuum head and siphon water out of the pool, directing the debris with it.

Winterization and Storage

• Completely drain the pool using the drain plug. A sump pump can assist with removing the last bit of water.
• Clean and thoroughly dry the pool liner to prevent mold and mildew.
• Deflate the top ring and fold the pool neatly.
• Store the pool and all accessories in a dry, protected area away from extreme temperatures.
