Setup Instructions

Setting up your Blue Wave Active Frame Pool is a straightforward process. Ensure you have a clear, level area before beginning.

1. Site Preparation: Choose a flat, level surface free of rocks, debris, or sharp objects. A ground cloth (not included) is recommended to protect the liner.
2. Liner Placement: Carefully unroll and spread the heavy-gauge PVC liner on the prepared ground. Ensure it is centered and smooth, with no wrinkles.
3. Frame Assembly: Assemble the sturdy metal frame according to the included diagrams. Connect all pipes and fittings securely. The frame provides essential support and stability for the pool.
4. Filling the Pool: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, gently smooth out any remaining wrinkles in the liner from the center outwards.
5. Filter System Installation: Install the EZ Clean 200 filtration system. This system comes with CottonTail filter media pre-installed, but can also accommodate a type C filter cartridge. Connect the filter system hoses to the designated ports on the pool liner.
6. Ladder Assembly: Assemble the A-frame ladder and place it securely against the pool wall, ensuring it is stable for safe entry and exit.
