Spread the included ground cloth on the prepared site. Then, carefully unroll and spread the pool liner over the ground cloth, ensuring it is centered and free of wrinkles.
2. Frame Assembly
Assemble the powder-coated steel frame according to the diagrams in the included DVD manual. Ensure all connections are secure and the frame is rigid. No tools are typically required for frame assembly.

3. Filter Pump Installation
Connect the 1500 GPH cartridge filter pump to the pool's inlet and outlet fittings using the provided hoses and clamps. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Position the pump on a stable surface at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away from the pool.

5. Filling the Pool
Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, smooth out any remaining wrinkles in the liner from the center outwards. Fill the pool to the recommended fill line, typically indicated on the liner or in the DVD manual. The pool has a capacity of 8,638 gallons (90% full) and can be filled in approximately 60 minutes.

Operating Instructions
Filter Pump Operation
The 1500 GPH cartridge filter pump is crucial for maintaining clean water. Operate the pump daily for a duration recommended by your water testing results, typically 4-6 hours. Refer to the pump's specific manual for detailed operating instructions and timer settings.
Hydro Aeration Technology
Your filter pump is equipped with Hydro Aeration Technology, which improves water circulation and filtration, enhances water clarity, and increases negative ions at the water surface. This technology operates automatically when the filter pump is running.

Maintenance
Water Chemistry
Regularly test your pool water for pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels. Adjust chemicals as needed to maintain balanced water chemistry, which is essential for swimmer safety and pool longevity. Consult a pool supply professional for specific chemical recommendations.
Filter Cartridge Cleaning and Replacement
Turn off the filter pump before cleaning or replacing the cartridge. Remove the filter cartridge from the pump housing and rinse it thoroughly with a garden hose. Replace the cartridge every two weeks or sooner if the water flow is reduced or the cartridge appears dirty.
Pool Cleaning
Skim debris from the water surface daily. Use a pool vacuum to clean the pool floor as needed. Brush the pool walls to prevent algae growth.
Pool Cover Usage
Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use to prevent debris from entering the water and to reduce evaporation. Ensure the cover is securely fastened.
