IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

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 lean, straddle, or exert pressure on the inflatable ring or top rim as injury or flooding
could occur. Do not allow anyone to 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.

• 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.

POOL SETUP

IMPORTANT SITE SELECTION AND GROUND

PREPARATION INFORMATION

WARNING

• 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 to assemble, and fill

with water in accordance 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/ejected, 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) or residual
current device (RCD). To reduce the risk of an electrical shock, do not use
extension cords, timers, plug adapters or converter plugs to connect the pump
to an electrical supply. Always provide a properly located outlet. Locate the cord
where it cannot be damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other
equipment. See the filter pump manual for additional warnings and instructions.

88IO

Select an outdoor location for the pool with the following requirements 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, balcony 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. The chlorinated poolwater could damage the surrounding vegetation. Certain types of
grass such as St. Augustine and Bermuda, may grow through the liner. Grass growing

through the liner it is not a manufacture defect and is not covered under warranty.

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 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 30~60 minutes. (Note the assembly time is only
approximate and individual assembly experience may vary.)

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

1

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 liner across the ground as this can cause liner

damage and pool leakage (see drawing 1).

88IO

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

leeve holes.)

the liner to make the straps taut. Repeat for all
locations (see drawing 6).

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 7).

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).

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.

English

88IO

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.

IMPORTANT

Before allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting. 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.

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

erious injury.

s

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 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.

POOL MAINTENANCE & DRAINAGE

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER'S

CAUTION

Do not add chemicals if the pool is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation.

Concentrated chlorine solutions can damage the pool liner. In no event is Intex Recreation
Corp., Intex Development Co. Ltd., their related companies, authorized agents and service
centers, retailers or employees liable to the buyer or any other party for costs associated
with the loss of pool water, chemicals or water damage. Keep spare filter cartridges on
hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks. We recommend the use of a Krystal Clear™
Intex Filter Pump with all of our above-ground-pools.

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

Note: This pool has drain valves installed in 2 corners. Connect the garden hose to the
corner valve that directs the water to the appropriate location.

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 drain connector to the drain valve. NOTE: The drain connector 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 the set up instructions to disassemble the pool. Completely deflate the top ring,

and remove all connecting parts.

12. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air dry the liner in
the sun for an hour before folding (see drawing 8). Sprinkle some talcum powder to
prevent the vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.

13. Create rectangular shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner into itself twice.
Do the same on the opposite side (see drawings 9.1 & 9.2).

14. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like
closing a book (see drawings 10.1 & 10.2).

15. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 11).

16. Fold one over the other like closing a book and finally compact the liner (see
drawing 12).

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 unit. 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).

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves
inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read
and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and
instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings, instructions
and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation,
but do not cover all risks and dangers.

For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following
general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally
recognized Safety Organizations:

• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as

a “lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and around
the pool.

• Learn to swim.

• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.

• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool

hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors,
barriers, etc.

• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an

emergency.

• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any

water activity.

• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
