CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION

The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the following technical characteristics

1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is installed. When choosing the surface, take into consideration that water may come out of the pool when in use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass or other vegetation that may cause  odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do not position any equipment or other furniture around the pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can damage the material of the liner. Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does not match the instructions, will not be considered as manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service claims.

Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if the ladder is properly assembled.
