Setup Instructions

1. Site Preparation

• Choose a flat, level area in your yard, away from overhead power lines, trees, and structures.
• Clear the area of all debris, rocks, and sharp objects.
• Lay down the included ground cloth to protect the pool liner from punctures.

2. Pool Assembly

1. Unfold the pool liner and spread it evenly over the ground cloth, ensuring the drain plug is accessible.
2. Assemble the frame poles using the SmartConnect technology. The oval poles snap together easily without tools.
3. Insert the assembled poles through the liner sleeves as indicated in the detailed diagram provided in your physical manual.
4. Connect all frame components securely to form the pool structure.
5. Attach the SkimmerPlus filter pump to the designated port on the pool sidewall. Ensure all connections are tight.
6. Assemble the SureStep ladder according to its separate instructions and place it securely against the pool.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Pool

• Once the pool structure is fully assembled and stable, begin filling the pool with water.
• Fill the pool to the recommended water level, typically indicated by a fill line on the liner or just below the top rail. The pool has a capacity of approximately 3,357 gallons.
• As the pool fills, smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the liner.

2. Filter Pump Operation (SkimmerPlus SFX1000)

• Ensure the filter pump is properly connected and the Type C filter cartridge is installed.
• Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
• The SkimmerPlus pump combines skimming and filtration. The skimmer basket will collect larger debris from the water surface.
• The filter cartridge inside the pump will capture smaller particles, ensuring clean water.
• Run the pump daily for several hours to maintain water clarity. The exact duration depends on usage and environmental conditions.

• Consult a pool chemical guide for recommended levels and treatment procedures.

2. Filter Cartridge Cleaning and Replacement

• Turn off and unplug the filter pump before performing any maintenance.
• Remove the Type C filter cartridge from the SkimmerPlus pump.
• Rinse the cartridge thoroughly with a garden hose to remove debris.
• Replace the filter cartridge every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently with heavy use, to ensure optimal filtration.

3. Pool Cleaning

• Use the included Deluxe maintenance kit to remove debris from the pool.
• Use the skimmer net to remove floating debris from the surface.
• Attach the vacuum head to the telescopic pole and connect it to the pump's suction port (if applicable) or use a garden hose for manual vacuuming to clean the pool floor.

4. Winterization and Storage

• Before freezing temperatures, drain the pool completely using the 2-in-1 drainage plug.
