4. Setup Instructions
The INTEX Easy Set Pool is designed for quick and easy assembly, typically within 15 minutes before filling with water. No tools are required for the basic pool setup.
4.1 Site Preparation
- Choose a Level Location: Select a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, or excessive slopes. Uneven ground can cause the pool to collapse.
- Clear the Area: Ensure the chosen site is large enough for the pool and provides adequate space around it for safety and access.
4.2 Ground Cloth Placement
Unfold the ground cloth and lay it flat on the prepared site. This provides an additional layer of protection for the pool bottom.

4.3 Pool Assembly
- Unfold the Pool: Carefully unfold the pool liner onto the ground cloth, ensuring the drain plug is positioned away from any structures or areas where water drainage could cause damage.
- Inflate Top Ring: Locate the air valve on the top inflatable ring. Use an air pump (not included) to inflate the ring until it is firm but not over-inflated.
- Begin Filling with Water: Start filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the pool walls will begin to rise and take shape. Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the pool by pushing them towards the outer edge.

4.4 Filter Pump Connection
Once the pool is partially filled and stable, connect the 1000 GPH cartridge filter pump according to the pump's specific instructions. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened to prevent leaks.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Filter Pump Operation
The 1000 GPH filter pump is essential for maintaining water clarity. Operate the pump daily for 2-12 hours, depending on pool usage and water conditions. Refer to the pump's specific manual for detailed operating instructions and timer settings.
5.2 Chlorine Dispenser Use
The Hydrotools chlorine dispenser is used to introduce chlorine tablets into the pool water for sanitation. Fill the dispenser with appropriate chlorine tablets (not included) and adjust the vents to control the release rate. Place the dispenser in the pool away from the filter intake.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Water Chemistry
Regularly test your pool water for pH and chlorine levels using a pool test kit (not included). Maintain pH between 7.2-7.6 and chlorine levels as recommended by your chemical supplier. Adjust chemicals as needed.
6.2 Filter Cartridge Cleaning and Replacement
The filter cartridge inside the pump should be rinsed with a garden hose every few days, or more frequently with heavy use. Replace the cartridge every two weeks or when it remains dirty after cleaning.
6.3 Pool Cleaning
Remove debris from the pool surface using a skimmer net. Vacuum the pool bottom as needed to remove settled dirt and debris.
6.4 Pool Cover Use
Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use to keep out debris and reduce water evaporation.

6.5 Draining and Storage
To drain the pool, attach a garden hose to the drain plug. Direct the water away from the pool area. Once empty, clean and dry the pool thoroughly before folding and storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
7. Troubleshooting
- Pool Losing Air: Check the inflatable top ring for punctures. Use a patch kit (not included) for small holes. Ensure the air valve cap is securely closed.
- Water Leaking from Pool: Inspect the pool liner for punctures. The 3-ply material is puncture-resistant but not puncture-proof. Use a patch kit for repairs. Check all hose connections for the filter pump.
- Cloudy Water: This often indicates insufficient filtration or improper water chemistry. Ensure the filter pump is running for adequate hours, clean or replace the filter cartridge, and test/adjust water chemicals.
- Filter Pump Not Working: Check the power connection and GFCI. Ensure the pump is primed and not air-locked. Refer to the pump's specific manual for further troubleshooting.
