5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Filling the Pool

1. Ensure the pool is fully assembled and stable on a level surface.
2. Using a garden hose, slowly fill the pool with clean water.
3. Fill only to the recommended maximum water depth of 10 inches (25 cm) or to the fill line indicated on the liner, if present. Do not overfill.

5.2. Draining the Pool

1. Locate the drain plug, typically at the bottom or side of the pool liner.
2. Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out. Direct the water to a suitable drainage area, away from foundations or areas where standing water could cause damage.
3. Once empty, wipe down the interior of the pool liner to remove any residue.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

• Regularly inspect the pool liner for dirt, leaves, or other debris. Remove these promptly.
• Wipe down the interior surfaces of the pool with a soft cloth and mild soap (if necessary) and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

6.2. Water Care

• For hygiene, it is recommended to change the water frequently, especially after heavy use or if it appears dirty.
• Do not use pool chemicals designed for larger pools, as they may be too strong for this product and harmful to children.

7. Storage

Proper storage will extend the life of your Funsicle Kids Fun Pool.

1. Clean and Dry: After draining, thoroughly clean the pool liner and frame components. Ensure all parts are completely dry to prevent mold or mildew growth.
2. Disassemble: Carefully disassemble the frame by reversing the assembly steps.
3. Fold and Store: Fold the pool liner neatly. Store the liner and frame components in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep away from rodents and insects.

8. Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage:
  Possible Cause: Puncture in the liner or loose drain plug.
  Solution: Inspect the liner for small holes. If found, use a vinyl repair kit (not included) to patch. Ensure the drain plug is securely closed.
• Unstable Frame:
  Possible Cause: Frame pipes not fully snapped into connectors or uneven ground.
  Solution: Recheck all frame connections to ensure they are secure. Move the pool to a more level surface.
• Water Not Draining:
