Setup Instructions

1. Site Preparation

1. Choose a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, and overhead power lines. The area must be able to support the weight of the filled pool (approximately 4,000 gallons of water plus occupants).
2. Ensure the chosen location is near a suitable electrical outlet (GFCI protected) for the pump and has good drainage.
3. Clear the area of any grass or vegetation that could damage the pool liner.
4. Spread the ground cloth evenly on the prepared site.

2. Frame Assembly

5. Unfold the pool liner and lay it out on the ground cloth, ensuring the drain valve is positioned where desired.
6. Assemble the horizontal beams by sliding them through the liner belt loops.
7. Connect the horizontal beams using the T-Cup Connectors.
8. Insert the vertical pool legs into the T-Cup Connectors and slide them into the open pockets of the liner belt.
9. Ensure all connections are secure and the frame is stable.

3. Pump and Ladder Installation

10. Refer to the separate pump manual for detailed instructions on assembling and connecting the FiltraBoost FB1200S pump to the pool's inlet and outlet fittings. Ensure all hoses are securely clamped.
11. Assemble the SureStep Ladder according to its dedicated instructions. Place the ladder on a solid, level surface outside the pool.

Operating Your Pool

1. Filling the Pool

1. Ensure the drain valve is closed.
2. Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the liner.
3. Fill the pool to the recommended water line, typically just below the top horizontal beam or the skimmer opening. Do not overfill.

2. Pump Operation

• Once the pool is filled, plug the pump into a GFCI-protected electrical outlet.
• Run the pump for at least 4-6 hours daily to ensure proper water circulation and filtration.
• The AutoSkimmer feature will help remove surface debris automatically.

Maintenance

1. Water Chemistry

• Regularly test your pool water using a test kit. Maintain recommended levels for pH, chlorine, and alkalinity.
• Add appropriate pool chemicals as needed, following product instructions carefully.

2. Cleaning

• Use the included skimmer net to remove leaves and large debris from the water surface daily.
• Attach the vacuum head to the telescopic pole and hose, then connect to the pump's suction port (refer to pump manual) to vacuum the pool floor as needed.
• Brush the pool walls and floor regularly to prevent algae buildup.

3. Filter Maintenance

• Turn off and unplug the pump before performing any maintenance.
• Rinse the filter cartridge with a garden hose every few days, or more frequently depending on pool usage and debris.
• Replace the filter cartridge every 2-4 weeks, or when it becomes visibly dirty or clogged.

4. Winterization (for seasonal use)

• When temperatures drop below 40°F (5°C), the pool should be drained, cleaned, and disassembled to prevent damage from freezing water.
• Drain the pool completely using the drain valve.
• Clean and dry all components thoroughly before storing them in a dry, protected area.
• Store the pump and filter indoors in a climate-controlled environment.
