Read, Understand and Follow All Instructions Carefully Before Installing and Using this Product.
WARNING
• Continuous and competent adult supervision of children and the disabled is required
at all times.
• 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.
• Pool and pool accessories are to be assembled and disassembled by adults only.
• Never dive, jump or slide into an above-ground pool or any shallow body of water.
• Failure to set up pool on flat, level, compact ground or over filling could result in the pool’s
collapse and the possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out/ejected.
• Do not allow anyone to stand, walk, sit on, climb, or straddle the sides of the pool.
• Remove all toys and flotation devices from, in and around the pool when it is not in use.
Objects in the pool attract young children.
• Position the small enclosure more than 4 feet away from the pool to prevent a child from
climbing on the enclosure to access pool.
• Keep toys, chairs, tables, or any objects that a child could climb on at least four feet (1.22
meters) away from the pool.
• Keep rescue equipment by the pool and clearly post emergency numbers at the phone
closest to the pool. Examples of rescue equipment: coast guard approved ring buoy with
attached rope, strong rigid pole not less than twelve feet (12') [3.66m] long.
• Never swim alone or allow others to swim alone.
• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside
barrier of the pool.
• If swimming at night use properly installed artificial lighting to illuminate all safety signs,
ladders, pool floor and walkways.
• Stay away from the pool when using alcohol or drugs/medication.
• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious
injury.
• Pool covers must be completely removed before pool use. Children and adults cannot be
seen under a pool cover.
• Do not cover the pool while you or anyone else is in the pool.
• Keep the pool and pool area clean and clear to avoid slips and falls and objects that may
cause injury.
• Protect all pool occupants from recreational water illnesses by keeping the pool water
sanitized. Don’t swallow the pool water. Practice good hygiene.
• All pools are subject to wear and deterioration. Certain types of excessive or accelerated
deterioration can lead to an operation failure, and can ultimately cause the loss of large
quantities of water from your pool. Therefore, it is very important that you properly maintain
your pool on a regular basis.
• This pool is for outdoor use only.
• Empty and store the pool when not in use for a longer period. See storage instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
• All electrical components shall be installed in accordance with Article 680 of the National
Electrical Code 1999 (NEC

POOL SETUP (continued)
You may have purchased this pool with the Intex Krystal Clear™ filter pump.
The pump has its own separate set of installation instructions. First
assemble your pool unit and then set up the filter pump.
Estimated assembly time 120 minutes. (Note the assembly time is only approximate
and individual assembly experience may vary.)
1. Liner preparation
• Open the carton containing the liner, joints, legs, etc., very carefully as this carton can be
used to store the pool during the winter months or when not in use.

• Take out the ground cloth (11) and spread
it over the cleared area. Then take out the
liner (8) and spread it out over the ground
cloth, with the drain valve directed towards
the draining area. Place the drain valve
away from the house. Allow the sun to
warm up the liner before inserting the
beams (7) into the sleeve openings.
IMPORTANT: Always set up the pool
unit with at least 2 persons. Do not drag the liner across the ground as this can
cause liner damage and pool leakage (see drawing 4).
• During the setup of the pool liner, point the hose connections or openings in the
direction of the electric power source. The outer edge of the pool should be within reach
of the pump’s electrical connection.
2. Frame assembly
• The frame pool’s legs (5) and beams (7) fall into two groups. The larger diameters are
the horizontal beams that are slid (pushed) into the sleeve openings at the top of the
liner. The smaller diameters are the vertical legs. Both these legs and beams fit into the
T-joints (3).
• Starting at any location, but always working in the same
direction, push the horizontal beam into the sleeve. Once
the beam is centered take one of the T- joints and using
the connection pin (1), attach the joint to one end of the
beam by inserting the pin through the seal (2) and in the
pre-drilled holes. Repeat this procedure in a circular
fashion until all the beams and joints have been
connected (see drawing 5.1).

The last joint connection may be difficult to complete.
You can do it though, if you first simultaneously
raisethe last joint and beam about 2 inches (5 cm).
Now, insert the beam into the joint while lowering the
pieces into position. The beam will easily slide into the
joint (see drawing 5.2). Ensure that the last joint is
fully connected before proceeding to connecting the
legs.

• Next slide the vertical legs into the belt loop
located in the middle of the pool liner.
The bottom of the leg should be inside the white
restraining rope (9) located near the liner’s bottom
edge. Carefully slide the leg into the belt loop and place
the leg’s bottom inside the rope and then insert the
top of the leg into the bottom of the joint. Snap the
eg into the joint’s holes by aligning the holes and the
l
spring-loaded pin. Attach the leg’s end cap (6) to the
bottom of the leg (see drawings 6.1 & 6.2).
• Upon connecting the last leg, grab hold of the frame
pool’s top beams in 2 – 3 locations. Shake the pool to
be sure that all the joints, legs and beams fit into each
other. Ensure that all pins are in position by pushing
them downwards through the holes (see drawing 7.1).
• Pull gently, in an outward direction, the bottom of
the leg; making sure the leg is inside the restraining
rope. The leg is to end up in an upright vertical
position and sitting in the middle of the patio block.
3. Filling of the pool
• See Krystal Clear™ filter pump manual, install the strainer nuts, flat strainer rubber
washers and threaded strainer connectors on the liner pre-cut holes. Use strainer valve
caps (19) and plug them into the threaded strainer connectors from the inside of the pool
so water will not run out while filling.

• Before filling the pool with water, ensure that the drain plug inside the pool is closed and
that the drain cap on the outside is screwed on tightly. Fill the pool with no more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) of water. Check to see whether the water is level.
IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool flows to one side, the pool is not completely
level. Setting up the pool on unlevel ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in
the sidewall material bulging and a potential collapse of the pool. If the pool is not
completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area or move the pool to a
different area that is level, and re-fill the pool, following the above directions.
• Smooth out the bottom liner wrinkles (from inside the pool) by pushing out where the pool
floor and pool sides meet. Or, (from outside pool) reach under the side of the pool,
grasp the pool floor and pull in an outward direction. If the ground cloth is causing the
wrinkles, have 2 adults pull from opposite sides to remove all wrinkles. Use the properly
assembled pool ladder when entering or exiting the pool during this process.
4. Fill the pool with water up to just below the
sleeve line. (see drawing 7.2).

POOL MAINTENANCE & CHEMICALS
WARNING
REMEMBER TO
Protect all pool occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the
•
pool water clean and sanitized. Do not swallow the pool water. Always practice
good hygiene.
• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from
the outside barrier of the pool.
• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other
serious injury.
Water maintenance
The maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the
single most important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the liner as well
as ensuring clean, healthy and safe water. Proper technique is important for water
testing and treating the pool water. See your pool professional for chemical, test kits
and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written instructions from the
chemical manufacturer.
1. Never let chlorine come in contact with the liner if it is not completely dissolved. Dissolve
granular or tablet chlorine first in a bucket of water, then add it to the pool water. Likewise
with liquid chlorine; mix it immediately and thoroughly with the pool water.
2. Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the pool water separately. Thoroughly
dissolve each chemical before adding another one to the water.
3. An Intex pool skimmer and an Intex pool vacuum are available to assist in maintaining
clean pool water. See your pool dealer for these pool accessories.
4. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the pool.

EXCESSIVE RAIN: To avoid damage to the pool and over filling, immediately drain rain water that
causes the water level to be higher than the maximum.
How to Drain Your Pool and Long Term Storage
1. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Check to make sure that the drain plug inside the pool is plugged in place.
3. Remove the cap from the drain valve on the outside pool wall.
4. Attach the female end of the garden hose to the drain connector.
5. Place the other end of the hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the
house and other nearby structures.
6. Attach the hose adapter to the drain valve. NOTE: The adapter will push the drain plug open
inside the pool and water will start to drain immediately.
7. When the water stops draining, start lifting the pool from the side opposite the drain, leading any
remaining water to the drain and emptying the pool completely.
8. Disconnect hose and adapter when finished.
9. Re-insert drain plug in drain valve on inside of pool for storage.
10. Replace drain cap on outside of pool.
11. Reverse set up instructions to disassemble the enclosure and pool, and remove all connecting parts.
12. Be sure pool and all parts are completely dry before storage, let it sit under the sun for an hour
before folding (see drawing 16). Sprinkle talcum powder to prevent vinyl from sticking together and
to absorb any residual missed.
13. 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 17.1 & 17.2).
14. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book
(see drawings 18.1 & 18.2).
15. Fold two long ends to the middle (see drawing 19).
16. Fold one over the other like closing a book and compact the liner (see drawing 20).
17. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit
(0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), storage location.
18. The original packing carton can be used for storage.

STORAGE & WINTERIZING
Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe
place. Some pool owners, however, choose to leave their pool up all
year round. In cold areas, where freezing temperatures occur, there
can be a risk of ice damage to your pool. We therefore recommend you
drain, disassemble and properly store the pool, when the temperature
drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). Also see the
section ''How To Drain Your Pool''.

Should you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:
1. Clean the pool water thoroughly. If the type is an Easy Set Pool or an
Oval Frame Pool, make sure that the top ring is properly inflated.
2. Remove the skimmer (if applicable) or any accessories attached to the
threaded strainer connector. Replace strainer grid if necessary. Be sure
all accessories parts are clean and completely dry before storage.
3. Plug the Inlet and Outlet fitting from the inside of the pool with the plug
provided (sizes 16' and below). Close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve
(sizes 17' and above).
4. Remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Be sure the
ladder is completely dry before storage.
5. Remove the hoses that connect the pump and filter to the pool.
6. Add the appropriate chemicals for the winter period. Consult your local
pool dealer as to which chemicals you should use and how to use them.
This can vary greatly by region.
7. Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT NOTE: INTEX POOL
COVER IS NOT A SAFETY COVER.
8. Clean and drain the pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard
the old filter cartridge. Keep a spare cartridge for the next season.
9. Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area,
preferably between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104
degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
