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.
The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool
structure, all safety signs in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs
shall be placed above the water line.

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

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 2.2). Ensure that the last joint is fully
connected before proceeding to connecting the legs.

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.

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.

WINTER PREPARATIONS
Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place. You
must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool when the temperature drops
below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool
and related components. Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool
collapse. Also see the section ‘’How To Drain Your Pool’’.
Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees
Celsius), and 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.
