Setup and Installation

Before installing the new drain plug cap, ensure the pool's drain area is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old cap, remove it carefully.

Installation Steps:

Prepare the Drain: Locate the drain outlet on your Intex overground pool. Ensure the area around the drain is dry and clean.
Position the Cap: Align the threads of the new PEUTIER Pool Drain Plug Cap with the threads of the pool's drain valve.
Screw On: Gently turn the cap clockwise until it is securely tightened. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the cap.
Verify Seal: After installation, check for any signs of water leakage around the drain area. If leakage occurs, slightly tighten the cap or re-install it.

Operation

The PEUTIER Pool Drain Plug Cap functions as a sealing component for your pool's drain. Once installed, it maintains a watertight seal, preventing water from escaping through the drain outlet when not in use for draining.

To Drain Your Pool:

Prepare for Draining: Ensure the area where the water will drain is suitable and will not cause damage or flooding.
Remove the Cap: Turn the drain plug cap counter-clockwise until it is fully detached from the drain valve.
Allow Drainage: The pool water will begin to drain through the open valve.
Re-install Cap: Once draining is complete, or if you need to stop the flow, re-install the cap by following the "Installation Steps" above.
