Setup Instructions

Proper site preparation and assembly are crucial for the longevity and safety of your pool.

1. Site Selection and Preparation:

   Choose a flat, level area free of sharp objects, debris, and overhead power lines. The ground must be firm enough to support the weight of the filled pool (approximately 11,532 kg). Ensure adequate drainage away from the pool area.

3. Frame Assembly:

   Follow the step-by-step instructions in the printed manual for assembling the steel frame. Ensure all connections are secure and the frame is rigid before proceeding. The pool features increased durability thanks to flexible C-connectors at the corners.

4. Liner Installation:

   Carefully spread the pool liner within the assembled frame, ensuring it is centered and smooth. Avoid dragging the liner over rough surfaces.
5. Filter Pump Connection:

   Connect the filter pump (model 58386, 3028 L/h) to the designated inlet and outlet ports on the pool liner. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened and clamps are tightened to prevent leaks.

7. Filling the Pool:

   Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, smooth out any wrinkles in the liner from the center outwards. Stop filling when the water reaches the recommended fill line.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled and filled, your pool is ready for operation. Adhere to these guidelines for optimal performance.

• Filter Pump Operation:

  The included 3028 L/h filter pump is designed to circulate and filter the pool water. Operate the pump for several hours daily, typically 8-12 hours, depending on usage and water conditions, to maintain water clarity. Refer to the pump's specific manual for detailed operating instructions and filter cartridge replacement (cartridge type 58094 (II)).

• ChemConnect Dispenser Use:

  The ChemConnect dispenser is designed to distribute chemical tablets (not included) evenly throughout the pool. Open the dispenser, insert appropriate chemical tablets (e.g., chlorine or bromine), and close it. Adjust the dispenser's opening to control the release rate of chemicals. Always follow chemical manufacturer's instructions for dosage.

• Pool Cover Usage:

  Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use to prevent debris from entering the water and to reduce evaporation. Secure the cover properly to avoid it being blown off by wind.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your pool clean, safe, and in good condition.

• Water Chemistry: Test pool water regularly (daily or every other day) for pH, chlorine/bromine levels, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Adjust chemicals as needed to maintain recommended levels.
• Filter Cartridge Cleaning/Replacement: Clean the filter cartridge frequently (e.g., every few days) by rinsing it with a garden hose. Replace the cartridge every 2-4 weeks, or more often if the water flow is reduced or the cartridge is visibly dirty.
• Skimming and Vacuuming: Skim the surface daily to remove leaves and debris. Vacuum the pool floor as needed to remove settled dirt.
• Liner and Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the pool liner for tears or punctures and the steel frame for rust or damage. Address any issues promptly.
• Winterization: Before freezing temperatures arrive, completely drain the pool, clean the liner, and disassemble the frame. Store all components in a dry, protected area to prevent damage.
