WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Follow All Safety Information and Instructions. Keep 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 approved barrier around all sides of pool. State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers.
Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool. Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to supervise pool and wear provided water watcher tag..
Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool and when you are filling and emptying pool.
When searching for a missing child, check pool first, even if you think your child is in the house.
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.
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.
Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on them to gain access to pool.
If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder’s manual for instructions. If you have a pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool: Remove pool ladders before leaving pool. Toddlers can climb ladder and get into pool.
Position furniture away from pool so that children cannot climb and gain access to pool.
When leaving pool, remove floats and toys from pool that might attract a child.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool Section I:

Outdoor swimming pool

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:

1. 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

2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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 reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4

7. 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

8. 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 beself-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 within18 inches of the release mechanism.

9. 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 Alarms should meet the requirements of UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section

10. 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 F1346-91 listed
• 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

10. 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 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

Section II: Barrier Locations

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION

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

5. 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 If the water softens the surface, it may lose its capability to support the pool weight.

6. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects children could use to climb into the

7. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to discharge the

8. The surface must be flat and 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. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.

9. 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

10. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed 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.

11. The selected location must not have overhead power lines or Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.

12. 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

13. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can damage the material of the

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.
