WARNING
Carefully read, understand, and follow all information in this user
manual before installing and using the swimming pool. These warnings,
instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks of
water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all
cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when
enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use.
Non Swimmers safety
- Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and
non-swimmers by a competent adult is required at all times
(remembering that children under five are at the highest risk of
drowning).
- Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is
being used.
- Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection
equipment when using the pool.
- When the pool is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the
swimming pool and its surrounding to avoid attracting children to the
pool.
Safety devices
- In order to prevent children from drowning, it is recommended to
secure the access to the pool with a protection device. In order to
prevent children climbing from the inlet and outlet valve, it is
recommended to install a barrier (and secure all doors and windows,
where applicable) to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming
pool.
- Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful
aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult
supervision.
Safety equipment
- It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the
pool.
- Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near
the pool.
Safe use of the pool
- Encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim.
- Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - CPR) and
refresh this knowledge regularly. This can make a life-saving
difference in the event of an emergency.
- Instruct all pool users, including children, what to do in case of an
emergency.
- Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to serious
injury or death.
- Do not use the swimming pool when using alcohol or medication that
may impair your ability to safely use the pool.
- When pool covers are used, remove them completely from the water
surface before entering the pool.
- Protect pool occupants from water related illnesses by keeping the
pool water treated and practicing good hygiene.
Consult the water treatment guidelines in the user’s manual.
- Store chemicals (e.g. water treatment, cleaning or disinfection
products) out of the reach of children.
- Use the signage as outlined below. Signage is to be displayed in a
prominent position within 2m of the pool.
- Keep children under supervision in the aquatic environment. No
diving.
- Removable ladders shall be placed on a horizontal surface.
EN
- Irrespective of materials used for swimming pool construction,
accessible surfaces have to be checked regularly to avoid injuries.
- Regularly monitor bolts and screws. Remove splinters or any sharp
edges to avoid injuries.
-
ATTENTION:
Do not leave the drained pool outside. The empty pool
is liable to become deformed and/or displaced due to wind.
- If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
WARNING!
The pump cannot be used while people are inside the
pool!
- If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder’s manual for instructions.
WARNING!
The use of a swimming pool implies compliance with the
safety instructions described in the operating and maintenance guide.
In order to prevent drowning or other serious injuries, pay particular
attention to the possibility of unexpected access to the swimming pool
by children under 5 years by securing the access to it, and, during the
bathing period, keep them under constant adult supervision.
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.
