Connection Valve Assembly
For pool with connection valve.
A
NOTE: If you want to connect other pool cleaning kits to the pool through the connection valve,
disassemble the Debris Screen from the Connector.
Filling Pool with Water
ATTENTION: Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
1. Fill pool until water capacity is 90%, DO NOT OVERFILL as this could cause the pool to
collapse. In times of heavy rainfall you may need to empty some of the water to ensure the
level is correct.
2. When filling the pool is completed, check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure
the pool is level.
IMPORTANT: If pool is not level, drain water and re-level ground by digging out.
Never attempt to move the pool with water in it, serious personal injury or damage to the pool
may result.
WARNING: Your pool may contain a great deal of pressure. If your pool has any bulge or
uneven side then the pool is not level, the sides may burst and the water may discharge
suddenly causing serious personal injury and/or damage to property.
3. Check pool for any leaks at valves or seams, check ground cloth for any evident water loss.
Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
NOTE: In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch
provided.

POOL MAINTENANCE

WARNING: If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines covered herein, your health
might be at risk, especially that of children. Pool water treatment is essential for the safety of the
users. Using chemicals inappropriately will cause property damage and personal injury.
NOTE: The pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles. In order to keep your
pool water clean and hygienic, you must also add chemicals.
1. It is recommended not to fill the pool with catchment water, drilling water, or drainage well
water: these waters generally contain polluted organic substances including nitrates and
phosphates. Filling pools with water from the public network is advised.
2. Always keep your pool clean and apply the correct pool chemicals. Unsanitary water is a
serious health hazard. It is recommended to use disinfectant, flocculant, acid or alkali
chemicals to treat your pool.
3. Clean the PVC liner regularly with non-abrasive brushes or a pool vacuum cleaner.
4. Throughout the season, the water filtration system must run long enough each day to clean
the entire volume of water in the pool.
5. Check the filter cartridge (or sand in a sand filter) regularly and replace dirty cartridges
(or sand).
6. Regularly check the screws, bolts and all the metal parts for rust. Replace if necessary.
7. If it rains, check that the water level is not higher than the specified level. If water exceeds
the specified levels, drain the pool to the specified level.
8. Do not use the pump when the pool is in use.
9. Cover the pool when not in use.
10. For pool water treatment, the pH value is very important.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
The following parameters ensure good quality water
Parameters
Water clarity
Colour of the water
Turbidity in FNU/NTU
Nitrate concentration above that of fill water in mg/l
Total organic carbon (TOC) in mg/l
Redox potential against Ag/AgCI 3,5 m KCl in mV
pH value
Free active chlorine (without cyanuric acid) in mg/l
Free chlorine used in combination with cyanuric acid
in mg/l
Cyanuric acid in mg/l
Combined chlorine in mg/l
ATTENTION: Do not use pump when pool is in use.
During the season of use of the swimming pool, the filtration system must be necessarily put
into service every day, enough for a long time to assure at least a complete renewal of the volume
of water.
Repair
Check pool for any leaks from valves or seams, check the ground cloth for any evident water
loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
NOTE: In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch
provided. Refer to the FAQs for further information.
Dismantling
1. Unscrew the drain valve cap on the outside of the pool counter clockwise and remove.
2. Connect the adaptor to the hose and put the other end of the hose in the area where you are
going to drain your pool. (Check local regulations for drainage by-laws).
3. Screw the control ring of the hose adaptor clockwise onto the drain valve. The drain valve will
be open and water will start to drain automatically.
ATTENTION: Water flow can be controlled with the control ring.
4. When draining is finished, unscrew the control ring to close the valve.
5. Disconnect the hose.
6. Screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
7. Air dry pool.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
Storage and Winterization
1. Please remove all the accessories and spare parts of the pool and store them clean and dry.
2. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking
together, fold pool carefully. If pool is not completely dry, mold may result and will damage the
pool liner.
3. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF
and 38ºC / 100ºF.
4. During the rainy season, pool and accessories should be stored as per above instructions
also.
5. Improper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury and/or damage to personal
property.
6. We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled during the off season (winter months).
Store in a dry location out of children's reach.
