4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for quick and easy assembly:
- 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.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on the prepared site.
- 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.
- Attach Liner: Once the frame is assembled, carefully spread the pool liner inside the frame, ensuring it is centered and smooth.
- 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.
