SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
As the owner, you have the most important role in reminding users of pool safety. You must set a safety example for your family and
guests. Use common sense around your pool and demand that others use common sense.

WARNING
WATCH CHILDREN PREVENT DROWNINGS
• Always watch and supervise children playing in or around pool to prevent drowning or injury. Never allow children or adults to climb
on the outside structure of the above ground pool. Do not place filters, pumps, tables, chairs or other objects near the pool. Children
may use these to enter the pool and drown. Position your filtration system a safe distance from the pool to prevent young children
from using the filter as a means of access to the pool.
NO DIVING
• Never dive, flip or jump into this above ground swimming pool. It is too shallow for safe diving. Ladders, decks, handrail sand top
ledges (or anything else) are not to be used for diving. You can break your neck!
• Most serious permanent injuries, paralysis or deaths occur when dives are made from pool decks.
NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
• Never use your swimming pool if you have been drinking alcoholic beverages or taking medications or drugs. Shock,
unconsciousness, permanent injury or drowning could result.
FENCE SAFETY
• As an additional deterrent against child drownings, you should install around the pool an additional five (5) foot tall (above-ground
level) fence, wall or enclosure that is made of durable material. All gates and entries must be self-closing and self-latching and
equipped with hardware for permanent locking. All latches must be installed five (5) feet above the ground surface and made
inaccessible to toddlers from outside. If a building is part of the barrier, all doors, windows and patio gates that could provide access
to the pool must be self-closing and self-latching with permanent locks so that your pool can not be entered by toddlers. Check all
local and state building codes to insure your installation complies with all requirements. Fences and barriers are not a substitute for
adult supervision.
INSTALL POOL ABOVE GROUND
• Never install your above-ground swimming pool below the ground surface. This pool must be installed on the ground surface only.
There should be a flat, three (3) foot area (minimum) around the base of your pool wall.
POOL COVER SAFETY
• The cover must have a tamperproof locking retainer cable that positions the cover around the pool wall and keeps it securely in place.
Never allow anyone, especially small children on the cover. Asphyxiation or drowning could result.
• We do not make a barrier cover. If you purchase a cover to act as part of a barrier system, it must meet ASTM Standard F 1346. When
purchasing any pool cover, please consult a swimming pool professional.
LADDER SAFETY
• Ladders must be located over an upright (for metal frame pools), on a solid base and kept level.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
• Never touch or attempt to service electrical equipment, including your filter, when your body and/or the ground is wet. Electrocution
or permanent injury due to high voltage (120V AC) could result.
• To avoid electrocution hazard, never use an electrical power source for any electrical equipment or your filter unless it is protected
by a Class A (5 Milliampere Trip) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in accordance with the National Electrical Code Section 680.
ELECTRICAL BONDING
• The pool should be bonded in accordance with Section 680-26 of the National Electrical Code. For further assistance contact your
dealer or a local licensed electrician.
KEEP WATER CLEAN
• Always keep your pool water clean so that the bottom is visible at all times. Individuals must be able to see that the water is too
shallow for diving, and must be able to see small children in the pool!
NO SWIMMING AFTER DARK
• Never use your swimming pool after dark or when you can not see the shallow depth of the water or the safety decals or signs. If you
ignore this, you have the sole responsibility for providing adequate lighting to the pool, safety signs, walkways and decking. We
recommend that you consult with a licensed electrical contractor or your power company to provide adequate lighting. You must also
comply with all national and local electric codes.
• Never cut holes in your pool wall to install lights or anything else unless the hole locations are factory installed. Failure to obey this
warning could cause structural damage to the pool wall, violently releasing large bodies of water. Wall structural failures may cause
serious injury, electrocution or property damage.
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT INJURY,PARALYSIS FROM
A BROKEN NECK, ELECTROCUTION OR DROWNING.
