PROBLEM
DESCRIPTION
CAUSE
ADJUSTMENT
The inflated
pool is not
circular
The pool has an oval,
rectangular or ovoid
shape. The pool is
probably positioned
diagonally to one side
or the water depth in
the pool is not uniform.
The wrinkles in the
bottom material were not
sufficiently smoothed out
before filling. The side
walls were not properly
'pushed out' during the
filling process, causing
the perimeter of the top
ring to be outside the
perimeter of the side
walls of the pool. The
pool is located on an
uneven or sloping
surface.
Drain the water to a depth of
2.5 cm and smooth out as
many wrinkles as possible.
Drain the water to a depth of
2,5 cm and then push the side
walls out so that they are
outside the circumference of
the upper ring. Check that the
surface of the pool point is
sufficiently flat, level and free
of terrain irregularities.
Coloured
water
After the first chlorine
treatment, the water
turns blue, brown or
black.
Chlorine is oxidised with
minerals in the water.
This phenomenon usually
occurs when water from
different sources is
combined.
Adjust to the recommended
pH value. Allow the filter to
run until the water is clear.
Clean the cartridge regularly
Particles
suspended
in water
The water has a "milky"
or cloudy colour.
The "hard water" caused
the pH level to rise.
Insufficient chlorination.
Foreign contamination in
the water. Bathers not
cleaning their feet before
entering the pool.
Adjust the pH value. Check
with your pool accessory
dealer for the correct water
treatment procedure.
Check that the chlorine level is
correct.
Clean or replace the filter.
Remove debris with a high-
pressure hose before
entering.
Permanently
low water
level
The pool probably leaks
water every day.
A crack or hole in the
pool material. A crack or
hole in the filter pump
hose. Hose clamps too
loose. Evaporation in
high summer
temperatures.
Locate the damage and repair
using the patch kit provided.
Repair or replace hoses.
Tighten all hose clamps. Cover
the pool when not in use.
Algae
The water has a green
tint. Green, brown or
black spots on the
surface of the pool.
Pool bottom is slippery
and/or unpleasant
odour.
Algae are present.
Do the "shocking". Check the
pH and adjust to the
appropriate level as
recommended by your local
pool accessory dealer.
Vacuum or lightly scrub the
pool surface. Perform
frequent testing and maintain
proper chlorine levels.
The water in
the pool is
cold
The water does not
warm up to a
comfortable bathing
temperature.
The pool is located in an
excessively shaded or
overgrown area. Heat
escapes from the pool
water
Move the pool to an open area
with maximum exposure to
sunlight at peak times.
Keep the pool covered when
not in use
