4. Setup and Assembly

Proper site preparation and careful assembly are crucial for the stability and longevity of your pool.

4.1 Site Preparation

1. Choose a Level Location: Select a firm, level area in your yard. The ground must be completely flat to prevent uneven water distribution and stress on the pool structure.
2. Clear the Area: Remove all sharp objects, debris, rocks, and roots from the chosen site.
3. Install Ground Cloth: Spread the included ground cloth over the prepared area. This protects the bottom of the pool liner from punctures.

4.2 Frame Assembly

1. Unfold Liner: Carefully unfold the pool liner onto the ground cloth, ensuring the clear windows are positioned as desired.
2. Assemble Horizontal Beams: Connect the horizontal beams using the composite T-Joints. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Attach Vertical Legs: Insert the vertical support legs into the T-Joints and the corresponding slots on the pool liner.
4. Secure Frame: Ensure all frame components are fully engaged and locked into place. The powder-coated steel tubing provides enhanced support.
5. Smooth Liner: Once the frame is assembled, gently pull the liner outwards to remove any wrinkles from the bottom.

5.1 Filling the Pool

1. Initial Fill: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, continue to smooth out any remaining wrinkles in the liner bottom.
2. Check for Leaks: Monitor for any leaks during the initial filling process. If leaks are detected, stop filling and address the issue.
3. Fill to Recommended Level: Fill the pool to the water line indicated on the liner or to approximately 6 inches (15 cm) below the top edge of the pool.

3. Daily Operation: Run the filter pump for a minimum of 4-6 hours daily to ensure adequate water circulation and filtration. The exact duration may vary based on usage and environmental conditions.
