F. Fill the pool with no more than 1 inch of water, then begin to smooth out any
wrinkles in the floor (from inside the pool) by pushing out where the pool floor and
pool wall meet; or (from outside the pool) reaching under the pool wall to grasp the
pool floor and pull outward.
G. When you are satisfied that you have removed as many of the wrinkles as
possible, continue filling the pool. IMPORTANT: BEFORE PROCEEDING with
pool fill-up, verify that the site you chose is SUFFICIENTLY FLAT & LEVEL. If,
after a short while of filling you notice that water is collecting unevenly, the pool is
sloping excessively to one side, or if the pool appears to be oval or "egg-shaped",
STOP FILLING THE POOL IMMEDIATELY, as this indicates that the site is not
level enough or that the side walls have not been pushed out properly. Drain the pool
and select a new set-up site. NEVER attempt to physically move a pool with any
water still in it, as personal injury may result.
H. The pool walls will rise as you continue to fill. It is advisable to monitor the pool
periodically during the filling process to make sure there are no leaks and that the
pool fills evenly.
I. Continue to fill until the water has reached the BOTTOM of the inflatable ring and
the sides are smooth and firm. DO NOT attempt to fill the pool beyond this point.
CAUTION: Once pool is filled, do not allow bathers to jump on, lay on, or lean
heavily on the inflatable ring. These actions can cause the pool to collapse!
Note: Once your pool has been filled with water for the season, take note if your
pool becomes overfilled due to rainwater or accidental overfill. If this should occur,
it is important to drain or bale out the excess water as soon as possible. The water
level should never be higher than the bottom edge of the inflatable ring.
