Setup and Assembly

1. Site Selection

Choose a firm, level surface for your pool. The area must be free of sharp objects, debris, and tree roots. Ensure there is adequate drainage and access to a GFCI-protected electrical outlet for the filter pump. Avoid setting up the pool under overhead power lines or near structures that could fall into the pool.

2. Unpacking and Preparation

Carefully unpack the pool liner and all components. Spread the pool liner out on the chosen site, ensuring the drain plug is positioned away from the main traffic area. Allow the liner to warm in the sun for a short period to make it more pliable.

3. Inflating the Top Ring

Locate the air valve on the top inflatable ring of the pool. Use an air pump (not included) to inflate the ring until it is firm to the touch but not over-inflated. Do not use an air compressor, as this can damage the ring.

4. Filling the Pool

Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the inflatable top ring will float and lift the pool walls. Smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the pool as it fills. Stop filling when the water level reaches the bottom of the inflatable ring, or the maximum fill line indicated on the pool liner.

5. Connecting the Filter Pump

Once the pool is filled, connect the filter pump according to the separate filter pump instructions. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened and the pump is placed on a stable surface. Plug the pump into a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. Do not operate the pump without water flowing through it.

Operating Instructions

1. Filter Pump Operation

The filter pump is designed to circulate and filter the pool water. Operate the pump for several hours each day to maintain water clarity. Refer to the filter pump manual for specific operating times and settings. Ensure the pump is always connected to a GFCI-protected outlet.

2. Water Treatment and Chemistry

This pool includes a built-in chlorinator. Use appropriate pool chemicals (e.g., chlorine tablets) as recommended by a pool chemical supplier. Regularly test the water pH and chlorine levels using a pool test kit. Maintain proper chemical balance to prevent algae growth and ensure safe swimming conditions. Always follow chemical manufacturer's instructions for dosage and handling.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Pool

Regularly remove debris from the pool surface using a skimmer net. Brush the pool walls and bottom as needed to prevent algae buildup. For more thorough cleaning, a pool vacuum (sold separately) can be used.

2. Filter Cartridge Replacement

The filter cartridge traps debris and impurities from the water. It is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every two weeks, or more frequently if the pool is heavily used or the water appears cloudy. Turn off and unplug the filter pump before replacing the cartridge. Refer to the filter pump manual for detailed instructions on cartridge replacement.

3. Winterization and Storage

Before storing the pool for the off-season, completely drain all water. Clean and dry the pool liner thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew. Disconnect and clean the filter pump and hoses. Store the pool liner and components in a dry, protected area, away from extreme temperatures and pests. Ensure the pool is completely dry before folding to prevent damage.
