IMPORTANT SITE SELECTION AND GROUND

PREPARATION INFORMATION

• The pool location must allow you to 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.

• Failure to set up the pool on flat, level, compact ground and in accord with the
following instructions could result in the pool’s collapse or the possibility that a
person lounging in the pool could be swept out, resulting in serious injury or
property damage.

•

Risk of electric shock: connect the filter pump only to a grounding type receptacle
protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). To reduce risk of electric shock,
do not use extension cords, timers, plug adapters or converter plugs to connect the
pump to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.

Locate cord where it will
not be damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment. See
Filter Pump manual for additional warnings and instructions.

Select an outdoor location for the pool with the following in mind:

1. The area where the pool is to be set up must be absolutely flat and level.

Do not set up the pool on a slope or inclined surface.

2. The ground surface must be compacted and firm enough to withstand the pressure and
weight of a fully set up pool. Do Not set up the pool on mud, sand, soft or loose soil
conditions.

3. Do Not set up the pool on a deck or platform.

4. The pool requires at least 5-6 feet (1.5-2.0m) of space all around pool from objects that a

child could climb on to gain access to the pool.

5. Pool will kill the grass. Splash out could damage vegetation. Certain types of grass such
as St. Augustine and Bermuda, may grow through the liner.

6. If the ground is not concrete (i.e., if it is asphalt, lawn or earth) you must place a piece of
pressure-treated wood, size 15” x 15” x 1.2” (38 x 38 x 3cm), under each U-shaped
support and flush with the ground. Alternatively you may use steel pads or reinforced
tiles.

7. Consult your local pool supply retailer for advice on support pads.

POOL SET UP (continued)

This pool may have been purchased with the Intex Krystal Clear™
filter-pump. The filter-pump has a separate set of installation instructions
and is to be set-up after assembling this unit.

1. • Remove the ground cloth from carton. Spread it out completely with its edges being at

least 5 - 6’ (1.5 - 2.0 m) from any obstacle such as walls, fences, trees, etc.

• Remove the liner (7) from carton and place

it on top of the ground cloth with the drain
valve towards the draining area. Place the
drain valve away from the house. Open it
up to warm it in the sun. This warming will
make installation easier. Make sure the
liner is centered atop the ground cloth. Be
sure to face the end with the 2 hose
connectors towards the electrical power
source.

IMPORTANT: Do not drag the pool liner across the ground as this may result in
leaks or other damage (see drawing 1).

2. Remove all the parts from the carton(s) and place them on the ground in the location

where they are to be assembled (see drawings 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3). Check the parts listing
and be sure all the pieces to be assembled are accounted for.

IMPORTANT: Do not start assembly if any pieces are missing. For replacement
pieces call the Consumer Service telephone number in your area.

After all pieces are accounted for move the pieces away from the liner for of installation.

3. Be sure the liner is opened and spread out to its fullest extent on top of the ground cloth.

Starting with one side, slide the closed end of “A” beam first into the sleeve openings
located near the corner. Continue with “B” beam snapping into the “A” beam, and another
“C” beam snapping into the “B” beam.
Keep the metal beam holes aligned with the white liner sleeve holes.
Continue inserting all “A-B-C” beams into the sleeve openings, and do the same on the
other side.
The combinations for beams are different for different sizes of pools, see the chart below
for detail. (Be sure all sides end up with the metal beam holes aligned with the white liner
sleeve holes.)

4.

Slide the restrainer strap (9) onto the large U-shaped
side support (12). Repeat for all restrainer straps and
U-supports (see drawing 4).

IMPORTANT: The liner is to remain flat on the
ground during the next step #5. This is why 5 - 6’
of clearance space around the pool is necessary.

5.

• The tops of the U-shaped side supports have a
double button spring loaded clip that is factory
pre-installed. Insert the side supports into the “A-B-C”
beam holes by squeezing the bottom button inward
with your fingers.

• Squeezing this bottom button will allow the support to
enter the beam. Once the U-support is inside the
beam release the finger pressure allowing the
support to “SNAP” into place. Repeat this procedure
for all U-shaped side supports (see drawing 5).

6.

Insert the connecting rods into the overlapping
openings, to connect the liner straps to the
restrainer straps (see drawing 6).

7.

Pull the bottoms of the side supports out away from
the liner to make the straps taut. Repeat for all
locations (see drawing 7).

8. If the ground is not concrete (asphalt, lawn or earth)

you must place a piece of pressure-treated wood,
size 15” x 15” x 1.2”, under each leg and flush with
the ground. The U-shaped side supports must be
placed in the center of the pressure-treated wood
and with the wood grain perpendicular to the support
leg (see drawing 8).

9. Flip the top ring out to ensure the top ring is fully outside of the wall line and facing up.

Inflate the top ring, keeping it centered in the middle of the pool, with an air pump.

IMPORTANT: To prevent bursting, DO NOT use a high pressure pump such as an air
compressor. DO NOT over inflate. Use an Intex manual inflation hand pump (not
included).

7

IMPORTANT

Proper inflation of the top ring.
The ambient temperatures of air and water have an effect on the top ring internal
pressure.
The best procedure for maintaining proper inflation is to leave some room for daytime
expansion as the sun heats the air inside the ring. During very hot weather check the
ring to see if some air must be released to avoid damage.

In no event shall Intex, their authorized agents or employees be liable for
damages (such as pin holes) to the inflatable top ring caused by negligence,
ordinary wear and tear, abuse and carelessness, or external forces.

10. Before filling with water, be sure:

• All the U-shaped side supports (12) are straight and properly aligned;

• All the restrainer straps (9) are positioned in the center of U-shaped side supports
(12);

• The liner straps are pulled outwards from the pool bottom, and the restrainer straps (9)
are taut or laying flat on the ground;

• The drain plug inside the pool is closed and the drain cap on the outside is screwed on
tightly;

Fill the pool with no more than 1 inch of water; and look to see if there is any noticeable
difference in the slope of the pool floor.

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 to bulge. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain
the pool, level the area and re-fill the pool.

• Begin to smooth out the remainder of wrinkles (from inside pool) by pushing out where
the pool floor and pool sides meet, or (from outside pool) reach under the pool side,
grasp the pool floor and pull out. If the ground cloth is causing the wrinkles, have 2
persons pull from either side to remove all wrinkles.

11. Pool liner walls will rise while filling with water, water may be filled to the bottom of the

inflated ring.

IMPORTANT: As the pool fills with water, check on the U-shaped side supports (12)
to ensure they are straight and properly aligned with the horizontal top beams
periodically until the pool is full of water.

12. Water may be filled to the bottom of the inflated ring.

IMPORTANT

Before allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting and establish a set of
rules that include, at a minimum, the important safety rules and general aquatic safety
information in this manual. Review these rules on a regular basis and with all
users of the pool including guests.

chemical, test kits and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written
instructions from the chemical manufacturer.

1. Never let chlorine come into contact with the liner before the chlorine has fully dissolved.

Granular or tableted chlorine is dissolved first into a bucket of water. Likewise, liquid
chlorine, if poured into various locations around the pool, must be immediately mixed
thoroughly with pool water.

2. Never mix chemicals together, rather add chemicals to pool water separately and circulate

throughout pool before adding additional chemicals.

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 pressure washer to clean the pool.

REMEMBER TO

• Protect all pool occupants from recreational water illnesses by keeping the pool
water clean. Don’t swallow the pool water. 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.

STORAGE & WINTERIZING

Winterizing your Above Ground Pool

Your pool can be easily emptied and stored in a safe place during the
winter. However, many people choose to leave their pool up year
round. In areas where freezing temperatures occur, there is risk of ice
damage. It is recommended to drain, disassemble and store the pool
in a safe place when temperatures drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit
(5 degrees Celsius). See ''How To Drain Your Pool'' section.

1. Clean pool water thoroughly (If Easy Set Pool or Oval Frame Pool make

sure 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 appropriate winter chemicals. Consult your local pool dealer as

different regions vary greatly.

7. Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT: INTEX POOL COVER IS
NOT A SAFETY COVER.

8. Clean and drain pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard old

filter cartridge (keep a spare cartridge available for next season).

9. Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area,
preferably between 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 100
degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).

recognized Safety Organizations:

• Demand constant supervision.

• Learn to swim.

• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.

• Instruct anyone who is watching your children about potential pool
hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors,
barriers, etc.

• Teach children what to do in case of an emergency.

• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any
water activity.

• Supervise, Supervise, Supervise.
