NOTE:
If your purchased pool set do not have any
circulation system, you can purchase separately. But
please make sure the equipment can turn over total
volume of pool water no less than once every 12 hr. You
can check the water capacity on packaging to select
suitable circulation system. Pump provided for the
circulation of water shall be tested by a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory and certified to conform to
UL1081.
Also make sure the selected suction outlet sold with the
pump should be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory and certified to conform to ASME/ANSI
A112.19.8 or its successor standard ANSI/ APSP-16, in
order to prevent suction entrapment.
Please read carefully and keep for future
reference
CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside
the pool and the pool users, it is extremely important
that the surface chosen to install the pool is capable of
uniformly supporting the total weight for the entire time
the pool is installed. When choosing the surface, take
into consideration that water may come out of the pool
when in use or in the rain. If the water softens the
surface, it may lose its capability to support the pool
weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the
bottom of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the
U-support starts to sink into the ground, drain the
water immediately to avoid the pool collapsing due to
the uneven loading on the frame structure. Change the
location of the pool or modify the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any
objects children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to
deal with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced
loading on the structure of the pool. This situation can
damage the welding point of the liner and bend the
frame. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse,
causing serious personal injury and/or damage to
personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of
object. Due to the weight of the water, any object
under the pool could damage or perforate the bottom
of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive
plants and weed species. Those types of strong
vegetation could grow through the liner and create
water leakage. The grass or other vegetation that may
cause odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated
from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power
lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain
underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house
entrance. Do not position any equipment or other
furniture around the pool. The water that comes out of
the pool during the use or due to a faulty product can
damage the furniture inside the house or surrounding
the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes
that can damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the
correct surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged
parts of the pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface
and location does not match the instructions, will not be
considered as manufacture defect and will avoid the
warranty and any service claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete,
and all other surfaces that respect the above set-up
conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck,
balcony, driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface
that does not meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE:
Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety
requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE:
If have a filter pump, refer to the pump's
manual for instructions.
NOTE:
The ladder must match the pool size and
should be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is
forbidden to exceed the permitted payload of the ladder.
Check regularly if the ladder is properly assembled.
