All filtering systems are compliant with installation standard NF C 15-100 stating that any electrical appliance
located less than 3.5 meters from the pool and freely accessible must only have a 12V supply. Any electrical
appliance with a 220V mains supply must be located at least 3.5 meters from the edge of the pool. Always ask the
manufacturer for advice before making any change to one or more components of the filtering system.(For France
only)
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
NOTE: 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 slope.
Correct condition 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:

Filling Pool with Water
ATTENTION:
Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water
1. Fill pool until water capacity is 90%, DO NOT OVERFILL as this could cause the pool to collapse. In times of
heavy rainfall you may need to empty some of the water to ensure the level is correct. (See Fig. 17.18)
2. When filling the pool is completed, check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level.
IMPORTANT:
If pool is not level, drain water and re-level ground by digging out (See Fig. 19). Never attempt to
move the pool with water in it, serious personal injury or damage to the pool may result.
WARNING:
Your pool may contain up to xxxxx liters/xxxx gallons which
equals xxxxx pounds of pressure. If your pool has any bulge or uneven side
then the pool is not level, the sides may burst and the water may discharge
suddenly causing serious personal injury and/or damage to property.
3. Check pool for any leaks at valves or seams, check ground cloth for any
evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
NOTE:
In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the Heavy-duty repair
patch provided. Refer to the FAQ’s for further information.
