4. Setup

4.1 Site Preparation

Proper site preparation is crucial for the stability and longevity of your pool. Choose a flat, level surface free of sharp objects, rocks, or debris. The ground must be firm enough to support the weight of the filled pool (approximately 3,612 gallons or 13,672 liters of water, plus the weight of occupants and the pool structure).

• Ensure the chosen area is clear of overhead power lines and underground utilities.
• Avoid placing the pool on slopes or uneven ground, as this can cause structural stress and potential collapse.
• Consider proximity to a water source for filling and a suitable drainage area.

4.2 Assembly Steps

The Coleman Power Steel Oval Pool Set features an easy, no-tool setup process. It is recommended that at least two people are involved in the assembly for ease and safety.

Figure 3: The included ladder provides safe entry and exit from the pool.

1. Unpack all components and lay them out on the prepared site.
2. Spread the pool liner evenly on the ground, ensuring it is free of wrinkles.
3. Assemble the steel frame according to the diagrams in the quick setup guide (included in the box). The Seal & Lock System ensures a secure and strong connection of the frame components.
4. Attach the liner to the frame as instructed, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.
5. Connect the filter pump to the designated ports on the pool liner. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened to prevent leaks.
6. Assemble the ladder and place it securely against the pool wall.

5. Operating

5.1 Filling the Pool

Once the pool structure is fully assembled and stable, you can begin filling it with water. It is recommended to fill the pool slowly at first to allow the liner to settle and to check for any leaks. The pool has a water capacity of approximately 3,612 gallons (13,672 liters) at 90% full.

5.2 Filter Pump Operation

The included 1,000 gal. (3,785 L) filter pump is essential for maintaining water clarity and hygiene. Ensure the pump is properly connected and primed before operation.

Figure 4: The filter pump is crucial for maintaining water quality.

• Operate the filter pump daily for several hours, depending on pool usage and water conditions, to circulate and filter the water.
• Refer to the separate filter pump manual for detailed operating instructions, including priming and backwashing (if applicable).

5.3 Water Chemistry

Maintaining proper water chemistry is vital for safe and clean swimming. Regularly test your pool water using a reliable test kit and adjust chemical levels as needed. Consult a pool supply professional for specific chemical recommendations for your region.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your pool and ensure a healthy swimming environment.

6.1 Daily Maintenance

• Skim the surface of the water daily to remove leaves, insects, and other debris.
• Check and adjust water chemical levels (pH, chlorine, alkalinity) as necessary.

6.2 Weekly Maintenance

• Vacuum the pool bottom to remove settled debris.
• Clean or replace the filter cartridge (Type III) as needed. A dirty filter reduces pump efficiency.

6.3 Winterization and Storage

For regions with freezing temperatures, it is essential to properly winterize and store your pool to prevent damage. It is recommended to take down the pool yearly.

• Completely drain the pool water.
• Disassemble the frame and liner according to the reverse of the setup instructions.
• Clean and thoroughly dry all components before storing them in a cool, dry place, protected from pests and extreme temperatures.
