Preparation
NOTE: The pool must be set up on a completely flat and level surface. Please do not install the pool if the surface is inclined or slope.
-
Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
-
Take the pool and accessories out of the carton with care. If the pool set comes with a ladder, the ladder requires a crosshead screwdriver or an adjustable wrench ( not included ) to assemble.
-
Locate your pool with a minimum of 122cm (48 inches) space on all sides so that a child can not use an object to climb into the pool.
Do not set up directly under overhead power lines or trees and be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind. -
It is essential the pool is set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is set up on uneven ground it can result in collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property. Setting up on uneven ground will void the warranty and service claims.
-
Sand should not be used to create a level base, the ground should be dug out if necessary.
-
Do not set pool up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. 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.
NOTE: Lawn or other vegetation under the pool will die and may cause odors and slime, therefore we recommend removing all grass from where the pool will be located. Avoid locating your pool over or beside areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species as they may grow through the ground cloth or liner. -
If purchased with a pump, the pump should be installed after pool is fully assembled. Remember to locate the intake and return outlets towards the outside power source.
NOTE: If you bought a filter pump, this element has a separate manual instructions. Please open its relative box for details. -
If you bought a separate ladder for your pool, make sure it matches the pool size.
-
Regularly check to make sure the ladder is properly assembled.
NOTE: The ladder is only to be used for entering and exiting the pool.
