---|---

Children, especially children under five years, are at high risk of drowning.
Closely watch children who are in or near this pool.
Diving or jumping may result in broken neck, paralysis, permanent injury or death.
Empty pool or prevent access when not in use. Store the empty pool in such a way that it does not collect water from rain or any other source.

Prevent Young Children From Drowning:

Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barrier around all sides of pools. State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool. Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as described in CPSC Publication No. 362. “Safety Barrier Guideline for Home Pools” found at www.poolsafely.gov.
Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool. Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and draining of the pool. Maintain constant supervision of children and do not remove any safety barriers until the pool is completely empty and stowed away.
Drowning occurs silently and quickly. 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. Visit www.intexcorp.com to print additional tags.
When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if you think your child is in the house.

Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool:

When leaving the pool, remove floats and toys from the pool that might attract a child.
Position furniture (for example, tables, chairs) away from pool so that children cannot climb on it to gain access to the pool.

Electrocution Risk:

Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.

Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency:

Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers near the pool.
Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can respond to an emergency. In the event of an emergency, immediate use of CPR can make a life-saving difference.

General:

Pool and pool accessories are to be assembled and disassembled by adults only.
Do not lean, straddle, or exert pressure on the inflatable wall or side wall as injury or flooding could occur. Do not allow anyone to sit on, climb, or straddle the sides of the pool.
Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside barrier of the pool.
Protect all pool occupants from recreational water illnesses by keeping the pool water clean. Don’t swallow the pool water. Practice good hygiene.
Remove all hard, sharp and loose objects such as jewelries, watches, buckles, keys, shoes, hairpin, etc from users before entering the pool.
Pools are subject to wear and deterioration. Properly maintain your pool. Certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead to pool failure. Pool failure might cause large quantities of water to release from the pool.
Do not modify this product and/or use accessories not supplied by the manufacturer.
There are no serviceable parts.

IMPORTANT SITE SELECTION AND GROUND PREPARATION INFORMATION

WARNING

The pool location must allow you to secure all doors, windows, and safety barriers to prevent unauthorized, unintentional or unsupervised pool entry.
Install a safety barrier that will eliminate access to the pool for young children and pets.
Failure to set up the pool on flat, level, compact ground and in accord with the following instructions could result in the pool’s collapse or the possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out, resulting in serious injury or property damage.

Select an outdoor location for the pool with the following in mind:

The area where the pool is to be set up must be absolutely flat and level. Do not set up the pool on a slope or inclined surface.
The ground surface must be compacted and firm enough to withstand the pressure and weight of a fully set up pool. Do Not set up the pool on mud, sand, soft or loose soil condition, deck, platform, concrete, asphalt or any other hard surfaces.
Pool fencing laws may affect this product. Consult your local council and set up this product accordingly.
Certain types of grass such as St. Augustine and Bermuda, may grow through the liner.
Grass growing through the liner it is not a manufacture defect.
The area shall facilitate drainage of the pool water after each use and/or for long term pool storage.

Barriers for Residential Swimming Pool Guidelines:

An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier which 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 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 aboveground 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, which 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 1-1/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce 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 pool side 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 within 18 inches of the release mechanism.
Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the following should apply:
All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm which 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 UL 2017 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 door bells. 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.
The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which complies with ASTM F1346 listed below.
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 aboveground 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. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere. Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.

WARNING

CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts
Not for children under 3 yrs.

SET UP:

Depending on the size of the product, 2 or more adults are recommended for setup. Set up time may vary from 10 to 20 minutes excluding water fill time.

Find a flat, level lawn surface that is free and clear of stones, branches or other sharp objects that may puncture the pool liner or cause injury.
Move the product (in its package) to the selected site before inflating – do not inflate the product and drag it since it may result in leaks or damage.
Slowly unfold the product and inspect the product for rips, tears or punctures. Do not use if the product is damaged.
Lay the pool out as evenly as possible and close all drain plugs and/or exhaust valve caps if any.
Inflate the bottom air chamber first with a manual air pump designed specifically for inflatable products, and then the next chamber or chambers in sequence.
Fill the product with air until the surface is firm to the touch. If there is any straining at the seams, the product is over-inflated. If any seam begins to strain, immediately stop the inflation and release air to reduce the pressure until signs of stress on the seam are gone. Do not over-inflate or use high pressure air compressor since it may result in seam leaks.
Close and recess all inflation valve cap(s) securely by pushing down firmly on it.
Depending on the type/model of the inflatable pool, slowly fill with water:
- a. just below the horizontal line indicator printed on the inside of the pool’s wall, or
- b. just below the over-flow holes indicator on the inside of the pool’s wall, or
- c. just below the first top air chamber ring.

NOTE: Some pools feature over-flow holes midway along the wall. This is to prevent overfilling the pool beyond the recommended water depth. There are no plugs, do not cover the over-flow holes.
All drawings for illustration purpose only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

Instructions for products with water sprayer (vary from models):

Locate the sprayer connector (A).
Attached the sprayer connector (A) to a garden hose (B) by threading the sprayer coupling onto the garden hose. Tighten securely.
Turn the water on slowly at first to allow water to gradually fill in. Then adjust the spray as desired.

POOL MAINTENANCE & DRAINAGE

Inspect the pool at the beginning of each use for holes, wear and tear and other damages. Never use a damaged pool.
Water can be easily contaminated. Change the water of the pool frequently (particularly in hot weather) or when noticeably contaminated.

How to Drain Your Pool and Long Term Storage:

Adults shall drain and store the pool. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
Remove all accessories, toys, garden hose, etc from the pool.
Open the drain valve cap (vary from models)
Carefully open the inflation valve caps and/or exhaust valve caps to deflate the air chambers, and slowly push the sidewall inward and down to speed up the drainage of the pool. Slowly lift one side of the pool to drain out the remaining standing water.
Re-insert all valve caps afterwards for storage.
Be sure pool and all parts are completely dry before folding, let it sit under the sun for an hour (see drawing 1). Sprinkle talcum powder to prevent vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any water you may have missed.
Create a square shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner in on itself twice. Do the same on the opposite side (see drawings 2.1 & 2.2).
Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book (see drawings 3.1 & 3.2).
Fold two long ends to the middle (see drawing 4).
Fold one over the other like closing a book and compact the liner (see drawing 5).
Store the liner and accessories in a dry and cool storage location.
The original packing carton can be used for storage
