6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper storage will extend the life of your pet pool.

1. Draining: To empty the pool, locate the drain plug on the side. Unscrew the cap to allow water to flow out. For faster drainage, you can connect a hose to the drain valve.
2. Cleaning: After each use, especially if used for bathing, rinse the pool thoroughly with clean water. Use a soft brush or cloth and mild soap if necessary to remove dirt or residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
3. Drying: Allow the pool to air dry completely before folding and storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
4. Folding and Storage: Once dry, fold the pool back into its compact form. There are two primary methods for folding:
   • Method 1 (Accordion Fold): Fold the panels inward in an accordion style until the pool is flat and compact.
   • Method 2 (Roll-up Fold): Fold the panels inward and then roll the entire pool into a cylindrical shape.
   Store the folded pool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your PawHut pet pool, refer to the following common solutions:

• Pool does not stand upright: Ensure the pool is placed on a completely flat surface. The rigid panels require a stable base to maintain their shape.
• Water leakage: Check the drain plug to ensure it is tightly closed. Inspect the pool walls and bottom for any punctures or tears. If damage is found, discontinue use.
• Difficulty folding: Ensure the pool is completely empty and dry. Follow the folding methods described in the Maintenance section, applying gentle, even pressure.
• Damage from pet claws/teeth: While durable, the PVC material can be damaged by sharp claws or persistent chewing. Always supervise your pet and ensure their nails are trimmed. If significant damage occurs, the pool may need replacement.
