WARNING. To keep the water clean and free
from algae and harmful bacteria, a thorough
chemical water treatment is required. Ask a
specialist retailer about materials to use, such as
chlorine, shock treatments, algaecides, and other
chemicals.
WARNING. Never add chemicals to the mi-
ni-pool when people are inside. This can cause
skin and eye irritations! Never add chemicals
or substances to the mini-pool if you cannot
verify their correct use. Ask a specialist retailer
regarding what chemicals to use, their guidelines
and instructions.
WARNING. Owners of mini-pools are required
to test the water regularly to determine the pH
and chlorine levels in the water and to make
adjustments when necessary. Ask a specialist re-
tailer about suitable test kits and their instructions
for use.
WARNING. Failure to comply with these main-
tenance instructions can seriously endanger the
health of bathers, especially that of children.
The water must be changed regularly in accord-
ance with the recommendations of the manufac-
turer and depending on the hygiene conditions,
cleanliness, purity and odour or in the case of
contamination or discolouration in the mini-pool.
The use of chemicals in mini-pools without water
circulation can lead to direct contact with the
chemicals or, in areas with high concentrations
of chemicals, to injuries to the users.
To ensure the appropriate cleanliness and hy-
giene of the water in the mini-pool throughout the
whole season, perform regular water exchanges
in accordance with the following instructions:
1. Correct and continuous use of basic chemical
products for swimming pools is required in or-
der to maintain an appropriate pH level in the
water of the mini-pool. In addition, the use of
such chemicals prevents the growth of harmful
bacteria or algae in the water. The following
chemicals are suitable for your mini-pool:
• Chlorine in the form of tablets, granules, or
liquid: Disinfects the mini-pool water and
prevents the growth of algae.
• Chemicals that control the pH level: Serve
to correct the pH level and make the water
either more or less acidic.
• Algaecides: Are used to destroy algae.
• "Shock treatment" (super-chlorination):
Eliminates specific organic and other
combined compounds that affect the clarity
of the water.
Ask a specialist retailer about the specific
use of chemicals. State the nominal filled
volume of your mini-pool and give them
a water sample, if asked. They can best
advise you regarding suitable chemicals,
suitable amounts, and effective use.
2. Chlorine may never come into direct contact
with the cladding of the mini-pool, unless it has
become completely soluble. Chlorine in tablet
or granulated form must first be dissolved in a
bucket filled with water before being poured
into the pool. Liquid chlorine must be added
to the mini-pool water slowly and uniformly
over various areas.
Danger! Never pour water onto chemicals.
Add the chemicals to the water. Never mix
separate chemicals. Add them to the water sep-
arately so that the first chemical has dissolved
completely and spread before you add the
second.
3. When temperatures are high, clean the mini-pool
several times each week to limit algae forma-
tion manually. Ask a specialist retailer about
what cleaning agents to use, e.g. pool-floor
suction cleaners, nets, brushes, etc.
4. Ask a specialist retailer about purchasing a
test kit to check the pH level.
Note: An excessive concentration of chlorine,
as well as low (acidic) pH levels, can damage
the mini-pool cladding and immediate remedi-
al steps are required if the test result indicates
either of the two conditions.
5. Make sure that the mini-pool does not over-
flow by accident because of rain or for some
other reason, whenever it has water in it. Oth-
erwise, the mini-pool may become damaged.
Reduce the water level immediately.
For occasional use of chemicals to reduce the
frequency that the water is changed at, follow
the instructions of the chemical manufacturer
strictly (above all, do not use any more chemi-
cals than recommended), ensure that the chem-
icals are mixed in the appropriate ratio in order
to avoid possible injuries to persons, and store
the chemicals out of the reach of children.
Storage
WARNING!
If the product is stored improperly, there is the
risk of mildew forming.
If you live in a climate zone in which the
mini-pool is not used year-round, it is strongly
recommended that you drain the water, clean
it thoroughly, and store it out of season in a
protected location.
• Store the product in a clean, well-ventilated,
and dry place away from direct sunlight
where it is not exposed to wide variations in
temperature.
• Store the product in a location that is inacces-
sible to children and securely locked.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp-edged
objects on the product.
• Inspect the product after lengthy storage for
signs of wear or ageing.
Repairs
WARNING!
Check the mini-pool for loss of pressure, holes,
and tears before use each time.
If the mini-pool is losing air, this may be because
of a leak on the valve, a defective valve, or a
leak in the mini-pool.
When there is more serious damage do not per-
form repairs yourself under any circumstances.
Minor leaks or holes can be repaired with the
repair patch supplied.
Important!
Do not inflate the product for 20 minutes after
repair! Do not use the patch for leaks or holes
on the seam.
1. Let the air out of the product completely.
2. Clean the area around the leak thoroughly.
The area must be dry and free from grease.
3. Cut out a piece of the repair material that is
big enough for its edges to overlap the dam-
aged area by about 1.3cm.
4. Peel the patch off the paper, place it on the
damaged area and press tight.
Maintenance
The owner is primarily responsible for the main-
tenance of the mini-pool and the accessories.
Mini-pool
The following should be avoided:
— direct contact or overdoses of water care
agents, other than those indicated in
EN 16713-3, with the surface of the top layer
(since this may lead to irreversible discolour-
ation);
— mechanical impacts (for instance, blunt objects
such as sunshade stands, garden chairs, div-
ing equipment, etc. falling) can cause marks
or deep scratches on the top layer;
— abnormal friction between two surfaces;
— contact of oxidisable metal objects or organic
materials with the top layer over a lengthy
period of time.
The water line is particularly susceptible to
deposits such as lime, metals, or other greasy
products (sun lotion) that may be deposited on
the top layer. Regular maintenance of the water
line is recommended to prevent these deposits
getting inside the top layer and making cleaning
impossible.
Regular and careful maintenance should be
performed using appropriate products that do
not scour and are compatible with the top layer.
Never use cleaning products that are not intend-
ed for swimming pools (household cleaners)
and/or abrasive cleaning agents.
Disposal
Dispose of the product and packaging
materials in accordance with current
local regulations. Store the packaging
materials (foil bags, for example) out of
the reach of children. For further information
about disposal of the product no longer needed,
contact your local council. Dispose of the
product and the packaging in an environmental-
ly friendly manner.
The Recycling Code distinguishes
different materials to be returned for
recycling. The Code consists of the
recycling symbol for the recycling process and a
number that identifies the material.
