CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
IMPORTANT:
The pool must be set up on a completely flat and level surface. Please do not install
the pool if the surface is Inclined or sloped.
Correct conditions to set up the pool:
• The selected location has to be capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the entire time the
pool is installed, moreover the location must be flat and must be cleared of all objects and debris
including stones and twigs.
• We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects kids could use to climb into the pool.
NOTE:
Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to discharge
the pool.
NOTE:
Position the pool near an AC power outlet protected by a RCD (Residual Current Device).
Incorrect conditions to set up the pool:
• On uneven ground the pool may collapse causing serious personal injury and/or damage to
personal property and will void the warranty and prevent any service claims.
• Sand should not be used to create a level base; the ground must be dug out if necessary.
• Directly under overhead power lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
• Do not set up the pool on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt surfaces. The selected
location should be firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil
or tar are not suitable.
• Grass or other vegetation under the pool will die and may cause odors and slime to develop,
therefore we recommend removing all grass from the selected pool location.
• Avoid areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species that may grow through the ground cloth
or liner.
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 to 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.
Installation usually takes approximately 20 minutes with 2-3 people excluding earthworks and filling.
Keep children under supervision in the aquatic environment. No diving.
- Removable ladders shall be placed on a horizontal surface.
- 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.

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.

WARNING
POOL MAINTENANCE
Warning:
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines covered herein, your health might
be at risk, especially that of children. Pool water treatment is essential for the safety of the
users. Using chemicals inappropriately will cause property damage and personal injury.
NOTE:
The pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles. In order to keep your
pool water clean and hygienic, you must also add chemicals.
1. It is recommended not to fill the pool with catchment water, drilling water, or drainage well
water: these waters generally contain polluted organic substances including nitrates and
phosphates. Filling pools with water from the public network is advised.
2. Always keep your pool clean and apply the correct pool chemicals. Unsanitary water is a
serious health hazard. It is recommended to use disinfectant, flocculant, acid or alkali
chemicals to treat your pool.
3. Clean the PVC liner regularly with non-abrasive brushes or a pool vacuum cleaner.
4. Throughout the season, the water filtration system must run long enough each day to clean
the entire volume of water in the pool.
5. Check the filter cartridge (or sand in a sand filter) regularly and replace dirty cartridges (or
sand).
6. Regularly check the screws, bolts and all the metal parts for rust. Replace if necessary.
7. If it rains, check that the water level is not higher than the specified level. If water exceeds
the specified levels, drain the pool to the specified level.
8. Do not use the pump when the pool is in use.
9. Cover the pool when not in use.
10. For pool water treatment, the pH value is very important.
ATTENTION:
Do not leave the drained pool outside.
