STEP 3: Add 1 inch of water to pool
1. After ensuring that the drain fitting is plugged securely and the cap is in place, fill the pool with
about an inch of water. Then stop filling, and smooth out all wrinkles in the liner.
2. Gently tug the Vertical Legs outwards so that all legs are vertical and perpendicular to the ground.
NOTE: If more than 1 to 2 inches of water collects on any one side before the pool starts filling in the
center, the pool is not level enough, and must be corrected (See Section "Prepare the Site").
STEP 4: Install the fittings for filter pump and then install filtration system
If your pool came with fittings, install both the Suction and Return fittings to the pool wall before filling the pool.

NOTES:
•
The black rubber Gasket should always be slid over the threaded plastic suction or return fitting
and be on the inside before the fitting is placed through the pool wall to make a watertight
connection.
•
Make sure to put on both the Water Cap and the Service Plug while you fill your pool, or until you
are ready to add a filtration system.
