IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Read and Follow All Safety Information and Instructions. Keep it for future reference.
- Failure to follow these warnings and instructions can result in serious injury or death to users, especially children.
Prevent Young Children From Drowning
- Install fencing or an approved barrier around all sides of the pool.
- State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers.
- Check state or local laws and codes before setting up the pool.
- Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to supervise the pool and wear the provided water watcher tag.
- Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near the pool and when you are filling and emptying the pool.
- When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if you think your child is in the house.
- The pool presents a drowning hazard even during the filling and draining of the pool.
- Maintain constant supervision of children and do not remove any safety barriers until the pool is empty and stowed away.
- Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as described in CPSC Publication No.362.
- Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool. Give this person a “water watcher” tag and ask that they wear it the entire time they are in charge of supervising children in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask this person to pass the “water watcher” tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool
- Remove pool ladders before leaving the pool. Toddlers can climb the ladder and get into the pool.
- Position furniture away from the pool so that children cannot climb and gain access to the pool.
- When leaving the pool, remove floats and toys from the pool that might attract a child.
Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency
- Keep a working phone and list of emergency numbers near the pool.
- Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can respond to an emergency.
Diving Risk
- Do not dive into the pool. Diving into shallow water can result in a broken neck, paralysis, or death.
Electrocution Risk
- Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
- Do not place the pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an in-ground, above-ground, or on-ground
pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier that complies with
the following:
-
The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between the grade and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above grade, such as an above-ground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
-
Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
-
Solid barriers, that do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
-
Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the horizontal members should be located on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
-
Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
-
Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-3/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduces the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
-
Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal members should be no more than 1-3/4 inches.
-
Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on the poolside of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 inch within18 inches of the release mechanism.
-
Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the following should apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm that produces an audible warning when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet the requirements of UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds, such as smoke alarms, telephones, and doorbells. The alarm should automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such deactivation should last for no more than 15 seconds. The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above the threshold of the door.
(b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover that complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
(c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above. -
Where an above-ground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier which meets Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 9. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
Section II: Barrier Locations
Barriers should be located to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or
similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.

PREPARATION
Recommendations regarding placement of the pool
Do not install the pool on a slope or inclined surfaces, on soft or loose soil
conditions (such as sand or mud), or on an elevated surface such as a deck,
platform or balcony, which may collapse under the weight of the filled pool.
- The pool must be set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is set up on uneven ground it can cause collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
- Do not set up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. The ground should be firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft/loose soil or tar are not suitable.
- The ground must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones and twigs.
- Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
ASSEMBLY
- Start by inflating the bottom chamber. Then, work your way to the top one and any spare parts (if present). Close the safety valves after inflation. Do not over-inflate your pool.
- Slowly fill the pool to a proper water level, if there is a fill line, reach but do not exceed the fill line on the pool’s interior. DO NOT OVERFILL as this could cause the pool to collapse.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the pool unattended while filling it with water.
Proper Water Level
NOTE: All drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect the actual product. Not to scale.
EMPTY THE POOL
- Check local regulations for specific directions regarding the disposal of swimming pool water.
- Deflate all the air chambers and, at the same time push down the wall of the pool to release the water.
NOTE: Drain by adult only!
POOL MAINTENANCE
WARNING: If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines covered herein, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
- Change the water of pools frequently (particularly in hot weather) or when noticeably contaminated, unclean water is harmful to the user’s health.
- Please contact your local retailer to obtain chemicals to treat the water in your pool. Be sure to follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
