Setup Instructions
Site Preparation:
Select a level, stable area free from sharp objects, debris, and overhead obstructions. Ensure adequate drainage away from the pool area. The ground cloth should be laid out first to protect the pool liner.
Assembly:
The Funsicle Oasis pool utilizes SmartConnect technology with ultra-strong oval poles for a quick and durable assembly. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual for connecting the frame components. Ensure all connections are secure before proceeding.

Filling the Pool:
Once the frame is fully assembled and the liner is in place, begin filling the pool with water. Smooth out any wrinkles in the liner as the water level rises. Monitor the water level to ensure it does not exceed the recommended maximum fill line.

Operating Your Pool
Filter Pump Operation:
The included SkimmerPlus SFX1000 filter pump is designed to keep your pool water clean and circulating. Connect the pump according to the instructions, ensuring all hoses are securely fastened. Operate the pump daily for several hours to maintain water clarity.

Maintenance Guidelines
Water Quality:
Regularly test your pool water for proper chemical balance (pH, chlorine, alkalinity). Adjust chemicals as needed to maintain a healthy and safe swimming environment. Refer to your Deluxe maintenance kit for guidance on water testing and treatment.
Filter Maintenance:
Clean or replace the Type C filter cartridge regularly, typically every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and water conditions. A clean filter is crucial for effective water filtration.
Pool Cover Use:
Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use to prevent debris from entering the water and to help retain heat. Secure the cover tightly to avoid it being blown off by wind.

Draining and Storage:
At the end of the swimming season or when not in use for extended periods, drain the pool using the 2-in-1 drainage plug. Clean and thoroughly dry all components before disassembling and storing them in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and prolong product life.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Water Leaks: Inspect the liner for punctures or tears. Small holes can often be repaired with a vinyl repair kit. Check all hose connections for tightness.
- Cloudy Water: Ensure the filter pump is running for sufficient hours daily. Clean or replace the filter cartridge. Test and adjust water chemistry as needed.
- Pump Not Working: Check power connections and ensure the pump is plugged into a working outlet. Verify that the filter cartridge is not excessively clogged.
- Difficulty Draining: Ensure the 2-in-1 drainage plug is fully open and the drainage hose (if used) is not kinked.
