STEP 1: Prepare the site
Before assembling your pool, check the contents and become familiar with all the parts. Review all the
following warnings, guidelines and tips before proceeding with setup:
WARNINGS
•
Do not overfill the pool and / or allow people to lay over or sit on pool wall - doing so can cause
permanent injury!
•
Drain pool to the proper level after a heavy rain. The Maximum Water Level should be about 6
inches below the top rim.
•
Site must be level, stable, compacted soil.
•
Do not install pool on a wooden deck or any type of wooden surface. You cannot use sand and/or
uncompacted soil to provide a level surface for this pool; it will only wash out.
GUIDELINES
•
The pool must be assembled on a smooth and level site of firm soil that is free of stones, gravel,
sticks, blacktop, or other oil base compounds.
•
Before setting up your pool, clear the area of hardy grasses. Certain types of vigorous grasses such
as St. Augustine and Bermuda can grow through the liner. A ground cloth or tarp may be helpful in
preventing this from occurring. Grass growing through the liner is not covered under warranty.
•
Failure to follow all these instructions will cause pool to collapse and will void the warranty!
TIP: It will be much easier to install your pool if you unfold it and let it lay in direct sunlight for about 2 hours
prior to installation. This will help to ensure a wrinkle-free fit because the pool material will be more pliable
allowing it to form into shape during installation.
GETTING STARTED
•
Select a level area, and completely remove all debris, twigs, stones, etc. Do not select an area
under overhead electrical lines, trees, or within 15 feet of a house, building, etc.
•
The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 6 ft (1.83 m) from any electrical receptacle.
•
All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 20 ft (6m) of the pool shall be protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The 20 ft (6 m) distance is measured via the shortest
straight line distance the supply cord would follow without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway,
window, or other permanent barrier.
•
Contact your local utilities, checking that no underground cables, telephone lines, gas lines, etc. run
beneath the area you have selected.
