4. Setup (Assembly)

Assembly of the Intex Rectangular Frame Pool is straightforward. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Site Selection: Choose a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, or excessive slopes. The ground must be capable of supporting the weight of the filled pool (approximately 7,127 liters or 1,883 gallons of water, plus occupants).
2. Unfold Liner: Carefully unfold the pool liner in the chosen location. Ensure the drain plug is positioned where it will be convenient for draining.
3. Assemble Frame:
   • Connect the horizontal beams to the T-joints and corner pieces, sliding them through the sleeves of the pool liner.
   • Insert the vertical legs into the T-joints and secure them with the provided pins.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and the frame is fully extended and stable.

4. Smooth Liner: Once the frame is assembled, gently pull the liner taut and smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom.
5. Connect Filter Pump (if applicable): If using an external filter pump (sold separately), connect the hoses to the inlet and outlet fittings on the pool liner according to the pump's instructions.

The sturdy construction and easy-to-assemble frame contribute to excellent stability once set up correctly.

5. Operating the Pool

Once your pool is assembled, follow these guidelines for filling and initial use:

1. Filling the Pool: Begin filling the pool with water slowly. As the water level rises, continue to smooth out any remaining wrinkles on the bottom of the liner. Monitor for any leaks during the initial filling process.
2. Water Level: Fill the pool to the recommended water line, typically indicated on the liner or in the manual. Do not overfill.
3. Initial Water Treatment: Once filled, perform initial water treatment to balance pH and add sanitizers (e.g., chlorine) as per water chemistry guidelines.
4. Usage: The pool is ready for use once water chemistry is balanced and the water temperature is suitable. Always ensure adult supervision, especially when children are present.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the life of your pool and ensuring safe, clean water for enjoyment.

• Water Quality: Test water pH and sanitizer levels daily or every other day. Adjust chemicals as needed to maintain optimal levels (e.g., pH 7.4-7.6, free chlorine 1-3 ppm).
• Filtration: If using a filter pump, operate it for several hours daily to circulate and filter the water. Clean or replace filter cartridges regularly.
• Cleaning: Skim debris from the surface daily. Vacuum the pool bottom as needed to remove settled dirt and leaves. Wipe down the pool liner walls to prevent algae buildup.
• Liner Inspection: Periodically inspect the pool liner for any signs of wear, tears, or punctures. Use the included repair patch kit for minor damages.
• Frame Inspection: Check the steel frame components for rust or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure.

7. Storage

Proper storage during the off-season will protect your pool and ensure its longevity.

1. Drain the Pool: Completely drain all water from the pool using the drain plug. Ensure the area around the drain is clear to allow for efficient water flow.
2. Clean and Dry: Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the pool liner. Allow the liner and all frame components to dry completely in the sun to prevent mold and mildew.
3. Disassemble: Carefully disassemble the steel frame, reversing the assembly steps.
4. Fold Liner: Fold the pool liner neatly. Avoid sharp creases that could damage the material.
5. Store: Store all components in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging or a suitable storage container to protect them from pests and damage.
