Setup Instructions

1. Site Selection

Choose a completely level surface free of debris, sharp objects, or uneven ground. The area should be firm enough to support the weight of the filled pool (approximately 1,421 gallons or 5,377 liters). Avoid setting up on slopes, soft ground, or areas with underground utilities.

2. Unfolding the Pool Liner

Carefully unfold the pool liner on your selected level surface. Ensure the drain valve is positioned where it will be convenient for draining later.

3. Inflating the Top Ring

Locate the air valve on the top inflatable ring of the pool. Use an air pump (not included) to inflate the ring until it is firm to the touch but not over-inflated. Do not use an air compressor.

4. Filling the Pool (Fill & Rise Technology)

Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the inflatable top ring will float upwards, causing the pool walls to rise and take shape. Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the pool as it fills. Stop filling when the water reaches the fill line indicated on the pool liner, or just below the top ring.

5. Connecting the Filter Pump

Once the pool is filled, connect the filter pump according to the pump's instruction manual. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened and the pump is placed on a stable surface away from the pool edge. The filter pump helps keep the water clean by circulating and filtering it.

Operating Instructions

1. Filter Pump Operation

Operate the filter pump daily for a few hours to ensure proper water circulation and filtration. Refer to the filter pump's specific manual for detailed operating instructions and recommended run times.

2. Water Treatment

Regularly test your pool water using a pool test kit (not included) to check chlorine, pH, and alkalinity levels. Add appropriate pool chemicals as needed to maintain balanced and sanitary water conditions. Follow chemical manufacturer's instructions carefully.

3. Pool Usage

Always supervise children when they are in or near the pool. Do not allow rough play, diving, or jumping. Keep pets out of the pool to prevent damage to the liner.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Pool

• Skimming: Regularly remove leaves, insects, and other debris from the water surface using a pool skimmer net.
• Vacuuming: Periodically vacuum the bottom of the pool to remove settled dirt and debris.
• Wiping: Wipe down the pool walls and top ring with a soft cloth to prevent algae buildup.

2. Filter Cartridge Care

The filter cartridge should be cleaned regularly (daily or every other day, depending on usage) by rinsing it with a garden hose. Replace the filter cartridge every two weeks or sooner if it remains dirty after cleaning.

3. Water Level

Maintain the water level between the minimum and maximum fill lines. Evaporation and splashing can reduce the water level, requiring occasional refilling.

Troubleshooting

Storage

When the swimming season is over, follow these steps for proper storage:

1. Drain Water: Attach a garden hose to the flow control drain valve and open the valve to completely drain the pool.
2. Clean and Dry: Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the pool liner. Allow the pool to air dry completely to prevent mold and mildew.
3. Deflate: Deflate the top ring.
4. Fold: Carefully fold the pool liner to avoid creases and damage.
5. Store: Store the pool and all accessories in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
