4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for quick and easy assembly:

1. Site Preparation: Choose a firm, level area in your garden, free from sharp objects, debris, or excessive slopes. A slight incline can cause the pool to deform or collapse.
2. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on the prepared site.
3. Assemble Frame: Connect the steel frame components according to the diagrams provided in the separate assembly guide (if included) or by matching numbered parts. Ensure all pins and connectors are securely fastened.
4. Attach Liner: Once the frame is assembled, carefully spread the pool liner inside the frame, ensuring it is centered and smooth.
5. Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, gently smooth out any wrinkles in the liner from the center outwards. Fill to approximately 90% capacity (2,282 litres).

5. Operating the Pool

Once set up, your Intex pool is ready for use. Consider the following for optimal enjoyment:

• Water Quality: Regularly test and treat pool water to maintain proper chemical balance and hygiene. Consult a pool supply professional for recommended products and procedures.
• Filtration (Optional): While this model does not include a filter pump, installing an external filtration system is highly recommended to keep the water clean and clear.
• Supervision: Always ensure adult supervision, especially when children are using the pool.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance extends the life of your pool:

• Cleaning: Regularly remove debris from the water surface and bottom using a pool net or vacuum. Wipe down the pool liner and frame as needed.
• Water Treatment: Maintain appropriate chlorine levels and pH balance to prevent algae growth and ensure water safety.
• Winterization/Storage: Before cold weather, completely drain the pool. Clean and dry all components thoroughly. Disassemble the frame and fold the liner carefully to prevent creases and damage. Store all parts in a dry, protected area, away from extreme temperatures and pests.
• Puncture Repair: The 3-ply material is puncture-resistant, but in case of a small hole, use a vinyl repair kit (sold separately) to patch it.
