Setup and Assembly
Site Preparation
Choosing the correct location for your pool is crucial for safety and longevity.
- Select a firm, level surface. Uneven ground can cause the pool to collapse.
- Clear the area of any sharp objects, debris, or roots that could puncture the liner.
- Ensure the location is away from overhead power lines, trees, and structures.
- Provide adequate drainage for overflow water.
- The area should be large enough to accommodate the pool's dimensions (4.5m x 2.2m) plus additional space for access and the filter pump.

Pool Assembly
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly:
- Spread the ground cloth (if included) on the prepared level surface.
- Unfold the pool liner and lay it out on the ground cloth. Ensure the drain plug is facing the desired drainage area.
- Assemble the horizontal beams by sliding them through the sleeves at the top of the pool liner.
- Connect the vertical legs to the horizontal beams using the provided plastic pins. Ensure all pins snap securely into place.
- Attach the corner joints and T-joints to complete the frame structure.
- Once the frame is fully assembled, gently pull the liner taut and ensure it is centered within the frame.
- Connect the filter pump hoses to the pool's inlet and outlet fittings. Refer to the filter pump manual for detailed instructions on pump setup.

Operating the Pool
Filling the Pool
Once the pool is fully assembled and the filter pump is connected, you can begin filling it with water. Slowly fill the pool, ensuring the liner settles evenly and smoothly. Stop filling when the water level reaches the bottom of the horizontal beam, or as indicated by the fill line on the liner.
Water Level
Maintain the water level between the minimum and maximum fill lines. Overfilling can strain the pool structure, while underfilling can affect pump performance and water circulation.
Maintenance
Water Treatment
Regular water treatment is essential for clean and safe pool water. Test the water regularly for pH and chlorine levels. Adjust chemicals as needed according to manufacturer's instructions for your chosen pool chemicals. Proper water balance prevents algae growth and ensures bather comfort.
Filter System Operation
The included filter pump is designed to circulate and filter the pool water, removing debris and impurities. Operate the filter pump daily for several hours, depending on pool usage and water conditions. Refer to the filter pump manual for specific operating times and maintenance schedules.

Cleaning the Pool
Regularly remove leaves and debris from the pool surface using a skimmer net. Vacuum the pool floor as needed to remove settled dirt. Clean the filter cartridge frequently by rinsing it with a garden hose. Replace the filter cartridge every two weeks or sooner if heavily soiled.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water is cloudy or green | Insufficient filtration; improper chemical balance; algae growth. | Run filter pump longer; test and adjust pH/chlorine; shock treat water; clean/replace filter cartridge. |
| Filter pump not working | Power issue; clogged impeller; air in system. | Check power connection/breaker; unplug and clear impeller; bleed air from pump. |
| Pool losing water level | Evaporation; leak in liner or fittings. | Normal evaporation occurs; check for visible leaks and repair with patch kit; tighten fittings. |
