DO NOT TAKE APART THE POOL UNLESS IT IS STRICTLY NECESSARY. IF YOU DO SO, PLEASE REUSE THE WATER.
WATER IS A SCARCE GOOD.
MAINTENANCE AND USE:
- Switch on the filter system once a day in to insure a complete water volume renewal and
never
do it when somebody is in the pool (see filter manual).
- Check the filter’s level of clogging regularly in summer when the pool kit is in use.
- Check screws, nuts and washers (for rust).
- The pool water level has always to be hold in a minimum of 15 cm from the pool superior edge.
-
Never
empty the pool completely. Low water levels may cause serious damage to the pool.
-
F
ailure to comply with the maintenance instructions may lead to serious health risks, especially for children.
- The use of a swimming costume entails respect for the safety regulations set out in the maintenance and user guide.
-
Never
leave a pool kit empty on the ground, outdoors.
-
Clean regularly the
P
.V.C liner and the water level mark with non-abrasive products. Regularly clean the fold joining the bottom to the side of the liner, as it is an area where
dirt accumulates. If you do by accident a small hole in the liner, you can repair it thanks to our rubber patches AR202 or V12.
-
The isothermic covers (for the summer) protect your pool from insects, dust, leaves,… and avoid to loose the water temperature. Do always set it in order the bubbles are in contact
with the water.
WINTER-SEASON:
A) IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DISMOUNT THE POOL:
1- Clean the liner bottom and sides with a non-abrasive product.
2- Treat the water with a chemical product for wintering. We recommend using
LIQUID
WINTERISER
instead of floats with solid product to avoid discolouring the liner.
3- Leave the pool full of water considering:
a)
For
pools with skimmer and refulling pipe, reduce the water level 5 cm underneath the skimmer and close the refulling pipe with the screw tap which is included
with the filter.
b)
F
or pools with exhaustion and refulling pipes, reduce the water level 20 cm from the superior edge of the pool and close the pipes using the screw system
incorporated.
4- Disconnect the pipes. Do not dismount the skimmer and the refulling and exhaustion pipes.
5-
Protect
the pool with a winter cover, and put a floating element between the cover and the water, in order to protect it from frost.
6-
F
ilter: disconnect it from the pool. Clean it, empty the sand or remove the cartridge, dry it and keep it in a covered and sheltered from dampness place.
7- Accessories: remove every accessories (ladder, alarm, spotlight, pole…), rinse them with soft water and tidy them away.

THE
POO
L
AGAIN:
Remove the winter cover, install the filter, change at least 1/3 of water and realize a chlorine treatment. Switch on the filter for at least 8
hours in an uninterrupted way, respecting the continuous working period indicated in the filter manuals.
B) IF YOU CHOOSE TO DISMOUNT THE POOL:
1- Empty the pool.
Measures:
Filte
r, Automatic pump for handling clean water or communicating vessels system.
Communicating vessels system:
Use the hose from
your filter with the smallest cross-section. Fix a weight to one
of its end and plunge it into the swimming pool. After this, sink the whole hose, until there is no air inside.
With one hand, and under the water stop up hermetically the end of the hose and take it to the emptying point. Remove hand, and water will start running. Do not use
this water for watering the plants, because it contains chemical products.
2- Clean every pool constituents with a sponge and a soap product with a neutral p
H
. Dry them and tidy them away in a dry and clean place.
That’s normal that after having installed and dismounted the pool several times, the
P
.V.C liner dilate and loose its elasticity.

L
AGAIN:
Read another time this manual instructions from the beginning.
CHIMICAL MEASURES:
Please
read carefully the chemical product manufacturer instructions. W
ARNING:
Keep chemical products in a clean, dry and out of children place.
Important:
Every products
used have to be compatible with the
P
.V.C liner.
- First filling:
Analyse the water
pH
and chlorine (Cl) and adjust them to the optimal levels:
pH
: 7,2
–
7,6; Chlorine: 0.5
–
2 ppm.
- Chlorine treatments:
Consist in increasing the chlorine level until approximatively 20 ppm to eliminate germs and seaweeds. This process has to be done only when
the pool water comes from rivers or ponds, … or if it stayed a long time without any treatments.
- Checking
: Check at least once a week the chlorine levels (use a chlorine and
pH
analyser). In the same way, we advise to add an algicid to prevent seaweeds appearance.
Never
have a swim before the chlorine level stabilization. Do always use a floating dispenser for the chemical product (tablets) dissolution. The chemical product
measuring out has to be done in accordance with
:
Y
our pool water volume, the bathe frequency, the climatic conditions, the water temperature and the location. Do
always move the water and wait for the chemical product dissolution before adding another one. Wait approximatively 12 hours between any
pH,
chlorine or algicid
adjustment using the filter system.
MECHANICAL MEASURES:
Check the filter, the skimmer, the valves and the pipes are well connected to the pool. Do consider high water temperature will involved more time for the filtering.
Theoretic filtering time = Water volume /
Filter
system discharge (generally 8h/day with water temperature of 21°C), (Ideal:
2h in the morning
–
4h around midday
–
2h
in the afternoon).
PLEASE RESPECT THE CONTINUOUS WORKING PERIOD INDICATED IN THE FILTER MANUALS.
VACUUM CLEANER (MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC):
Only for pools with skimmer.
Connect an hose extremity to the brush head and immerse it into the water to make it fill in. Connect the other pipe extremity to the
exhaustion adapter (TA) and place it above the skimmer basket. Switch on the filter in the
FI
LTER position and begin to clean the bottom.
Pay
special attention to areas
with folds where dirt accumulates.
BOTTOM CLEANER VENTURY STYLE:
Connect a garden hose to the bottom cleaner join and introduce it into the pool.
Open
the tap until a normal pressure to make the water flow out against the bottom of
the pool, producing in that way an ascendant stream which leave the dirt into the filter (bag) which is adjust on the bottom cle aner.

When your pool reaches the end of its useful life, it should be disassembled; the different materials (plastic and steel) should be separated and taken to the disposal point indicated by local
authorities.
