Site Selection
- WARNING!: Pools installed on inadequately level surfaces are subject to leaking, forming irregularities, or collapse, which can result in property damage or serious injury for those in or around the pool area!
- WARNING! DO NOT use sand during setup process. If it appears that there is a need for use of a “levelling agent”, then your set-up site is likely unsuitable.
- FAILURE TO OBEY THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
- CAUTION: Please choose your set-up area carefully, as lawn and other vegetation underneath the ground cloth (If applicable) will die. Furthermore, try to avoid setting the ground cloth (if applicable) in areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species, as they may grow through the ground cloth.
- CAUTION: The pool must be accessible to a 110 or 230-volt AC outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The pool should be set no closer than 2m to the power source, but no further than the length of the filter pump cord. Under no circumstances should an extension cord be used to extend the range of the connection.
- It is absolutely essential to select a suitable site for your pool BEFORE attempting to fill it with any water. Please select a set-up site which strictly conforms to the following guidelines:
- Ensure that the area is firm, flat (no bumps or mounds of earth) and extremely level, with a grade not exceeding 3° of slope at any point in the set-up area.
- Make sure that the area you have selected to set-up the pool is completely free of sticks, stones, sharp objects or other foreign debris.
- Select an area that is not directly underneath overhead power lines or trees. Additionally, make sure that the pool set-up area does not contain underground utility pipes, lines, or cables of any kind.
- If a ground cloth is provided with your pool kit, its use is highly recommended. The ground cloth will help protect the pool liner from damage due to weed growth, sharp objects, and debris.
- If at all possible, choose an open location on your property that is exposed to direct sunlight. This will help to warm your pool.
Pool Setup
- The number of persons required for installation: 2 adult at least.
- Total installation time except the time for site preparation and water filling : 45 minutes
- Step 1. ACCOUNT FOR ALL PARTS.
- Remove all the parts from the carton(s) and place them on the ground in the location where they are to be assembled.
- Check each part according to “CONTENTS PAGE” Make sure all the pieces to be assembled are accounted for.
- Step 2. INSTALL DRAIN VALVE COVERS AND STOPPER
- Make sure that the outer drain plug is inserted into the outer drain cap and the drain valve cover is screwed on tightly. Plug the connection holes with the stoppers. (The outer drain plug changes according to different size of pool.)
- Step 3. INSTALL THE U-TUBES
- Slide each U tube through the loops.
- Step 4. INSTALL HORIZONTAL BEAM
- For the long side sleeve of the pool:
- For the short side sleeve of the pool
- Step 5. INSTALL HORIZONTAL BEAM AND L-TUBE
- Step 6. INSTALL HORIZONTAL BEAM AND U-TUBES
Fill The Pool With Water
- WARNING! DO NOT leave pool unattended while filling with water.
- WARNING! If more than 1~2 inches of water collects on any one side before you start filling in the centre, the pool is not level enough, and must be corrected! Pull out the drain plug, release the water completely, disassemble the pool completely, locate the pool on a level surface, repeat set up instruction.
- WARNING! DO NOT OVERFILL as this could cause the pool to collapse. In times of heavy rainfall you may need to empty some of the water to ensure the level is correct.
- Make sure the drain fitting is plugged securely and the cap is in place. Start filling the pool with water. After about 1-inch of water is on the bottom, stop filling and smooth wrinkles out of the bottom of the pool. Pull the outer wall out from the top edge, all around the bottom of the pool, so that it fills evenly.
- Continue filling the pool until water level is reached as shown in the below picture.

INSTALLATION STEPS
IMPORTANT When not in use the steps MUST be folded up as per the raised image (20) above. This is an important safety feature to prevent children from accessing the pool.
Winter and Long-Term Storage
- WARNING! DO NOT let your children stand at the outlet and face the water outlet during drainage. The water current may sweep children away.
- WARNING! Pool should be stored in a cool and dry place, with no sharp objects around, and no heavy objects lying above, which may cause damage to the pool.
- STEP 1. If you have a filter pump, disconnect from the mains.
- STEP 2. Check that the outlet plug is firmly inserted on the inside of the pool.
- STEP 3. Attach your garden hose to the drainage valve connector, and place the other end of the hose in an area where the water can drain safely, such as a storm drain or street gutter. Remember that because water always finds its own level, the end of the hose must be lower in elevation than the pool to ensure complete drainage.
- STEP 4. If you have a filter pump fitted, insert the stopper into the inlet and outlet fixtures, on the inside of the pool, and then disconnect the filter pump hoses.
- STEP 5. Attach the drainage valve connector to the drain outlet by turning connector in a clockwise direction.
- STEP 6. Open the outlet plug on the inside of the pool and the water will begin to drain immediately.
- STEP 7. Disconnect the hose and drainage valve connector when finished.
- STEP 8. Replace the outlet plug on the inside of the pool.
- STEP 9. Be sure that the pool liner is completely dry before folding the pool for long-term storage. Leaving the pool exposed to sunlight for a few hours will speed the drying process and make it easier to fold the pool for storage. (Never attempt to fold or stow a pool that is not completely dry as this could lead to a proliferation of mould or mildew build-up during the time the pool is in storage.)
- STEP 10. Remember, proper off-season storage is critical to protect your investment in your pool (especially in winter). Once drained and dry, your pool should be carefully folded and wrapped in a ground cloth (if available) or other similar protective tarp-like material. The pool and all applicable accessories such as the pump, cover, ground cloth, ladder, hoses, clamps, and hardware should be kept together and stored indoors, in a reasonably warm, dry and weatherproof location.
Maintenance and Storage of Ladder
- Store ladder in a safe and dry place.
- Never store any materials on the ladder.
- Keep ladder clean and free of all foreign materials.
- Carry out periodic maintenance on screws, when the ladder is not in use, put some anti-rust oil on them.
- DO NOT use ladder in temperatures below -50C.
- Remove pool ladder from swimming pool during the off season (winter months). Disassemble all the components and dry thoroughly. Store out of children’s reach.
Pool Folding Instructions
- Before folding, it’s better to dry all parts of the pool completely by lying them in the sun for one hour or so. (PIC.1). Then, spread some talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together.
- STEP 1. Please fold the protrusion sides inside to create a rectangle shape. (PIC.2).
- STEP 2. Fold each half of the rectangle to create a smaller rectangle shape. (PIC.3).
- STEP 3. Fold each end backwards. (PIC.4).
- STEP 4. Fold the ends together to create a rectangle (PIC.5).
- TIPS 1. Please remove air inside to make the folded pool thin and flat.
- TIPS 2. The original packing can be used for storage.
In-Season Pool Maintenance and Water Care
-
WARNING! If applicable, the filter pump included with your pool is designed to remove dirt and other small particles from your pool water. However, to maintain pool water that is perfectly clear, algae free, and safe from harmful bacteria, it is VERY IMPORTANT TO ENGAGE IN A CONSISTENT REGIMENT OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT. Contact your local pool supply retailer for guidance on the safe and effective use of chlorine, shock algaecide and other such chemicals.
-
WARNING! To avoid skin and eye irritation or even injury to bathers, never add chemicals to the pool while it is occupied. Never add any chemicals or substances to your pool if you cannot verify the exact quantity or type to add to the water. Consult a pool retailer for specific instructions and guidelines concerning the use of chemicals in your pool.
-
WARNING! It is highly recommended that pool owners frequently test their pool water to ensure that the pH and chlorine concentration in
the water is optimal for safe and enjoyable bathing throughout the season. Please consult your pool retailer to find a suitable testing kit and instructions on its use. -
WARNING! Non-respect of the maintenance rules may result in serious hazards for health and especially for children.
-
This product is designed to be a storable, seasonal pool. If you live in a temperate area in which the pool will not be in use year-round, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you drain your pool, clean and dry it thoroughly, and store it in a protected area for the off-season. This will help extend the life of your pool and prevent a safety hazard from developing while the pool is not in use. During the season of use of the pool kit, the filtration system must be put into service each day, long enough to ensure at least a complete renewal of the volume of water.
-
In order to keep your pool water clean and hygienic all season long please closely adhere to the following guidelines:
-
A: The proper and consistent use of basic pool chemicals are required to maintain the proper pH balance in your pool water.
-
Furthermore, the application of chemicals will help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria or algae in your pool, and assist your filter-pump in keeping your water crystal clear. Chemicals that your pool may require include but are not limited to:
- Tabular, Granular, or Liquid Chlorine: Disinfects pool water and inhibits algae growth.
- PH Adjusting Chemicals: These are used to correct PH levels and make water more or less acidic.
- Algaecides: These chemicals are formulated to remove algae.
- “Shock” (Super chlorinator): Eliminates certain organic and other combination compounds that can affect water clarity.
-
In order to obtain specific details on the use of chemicals, please consult a local pool retailer and provide them with the volume of water in your specific pool, and if desired, a sample of your pool water. This will enable them to properly instruct you on: 1) which chemicals to purchase, 2) what quantities of chemicals to purchase, and 3) how to use specific chemicals safely and effectively.
-
B: Never let chlorine come into direct contact with the pool liner until it has completely dissolved. This means that granular or tabulated chlorine is first dissolved in a bucket of water before applying to pool water, and likewise, liquid chlorine is slowly and evenly poured into pool water from various locations around the pool perimeter.
-
DANGER: NEVER add water to chemicals. INSTEAD, always add chemicals to water. Also, never mix separate chemicals together, rather, add chemicals to the pool separately and allow them to circulate throughout the pool before adding additional types of chemicals.
-
C: We recommend that you purchase a Dellonda test kit (pool Starter Kit: Model no. DL63 and Test Strips: Model no. DL32 test kit) and frequently test your pool water to make sure that your PH balance and chlorine levels are optimal.
-
NOTE: Excessive chlorine levels or low (acidic) pH levels can damage your pool liner, so please take corrective action as soon as possible if testing reveals either condition.
-
The tasks of removing larger debris from your pool and keeping the inside of the pool liner clean are simplified by using a leaf skimmer and garden hose powered vacuum.
-
Please contact the Dellonda service centre if you want to get advice on any repair during the life of the pool kit.
-
D: Check your filter-pump cartridge every two weeks (or more frequently during periods of heavy usage) to verify whether it needs to be cleaned or replaced. If your cartridge is no longer white in colour, attempt to spray it clean with a strong blast of water from your garden hose. If your cartridge cannot be cleaned in this manner, the cartridge must be replaced, refer to filter pump manual.
-
Failure to frequently clean and/or replace your cartridges will affect the effectiveness of your filter pump and could shorten its useful life.
-
E: If your pool system included a cover, try to keep your pool covered at all times when not in use.
-
This will help keep the wind and other elements from depositing dirt and debris in your pool, and will also prevent excess rainwater from overfilling your pool.
-
F: Remind your family and friends to always hose or rinse off any dirt or tanning oil from their hands, feet, and body prior to entering the pool.
-
G: It’s necessary to monitor the bolts and hardware of the pool (eg. rust stain) when possible (if applicable).
-
H: Once your pool has been filled with water for the season, take note if your pool becomes overfilled due to rainwater or accidental overfill. If this should occur, it is important to drain or bale out the excess water as soon as possible.
-
I: Irrespective of materials used for swimming pool construction, accessible surfaces have to be checked regularly to avoid injuries.
