Swimming Pool Awareness
Warning
：
1. ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED: This pool may contain potentially hazardous sharp edges, sharp points, or small parts.
2. Do not install the pool on a slope or inclined surfaces, on soft or loose soil conditions (such as sand or mud), or on an elevated surface such as a
deck, platform or balcony. It may collapse under the weight of the filled pool.
3. TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION: Keep the plastic bag used in this product away from babies and children; do not use the bag in cribs, beds, carriage, or
playpens. The plastic bag could block nose and mouth and prevent breathing. The plastic bag is not a toy.
4. If a drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, or drowning.
Repair or replace the drain or suction outlet cover before using the pool again.
5. When using the pool at night, artificial lighting should be used to illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces, and pathways.
6. The floor of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
7. Keep your pool clean and clear. The deepest part of pool must be visible at all times from outside of the pool.
8. Call for emergency if needed.
9. Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following, should be on hand at all times:
• A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd's crook) not less than twelve feet (12’) [366 cm] long.
• A minimum one-fourth inch (¼”) [6.35 mm] diameter rope as long as one and one half (1 ½) times the maximum width of the pool or fifty feet (50’) [15.24 meters],
whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy having an outside diameter of approximately fifteen inches (15”) [38.1 cm],
or similarly approved flotation device.
10. The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead to a failure of the pool
structure that might release large quantities of water that could cause bodily harm and property damage.
11. Never allow horseplay, diving, or jumping into or around the pool. This could lead to serious injury, paralysis or death.
DO NOT ALLOW anyone to swim alone without supervision.
12. Pool shall be located at a minimum distance of 6ft (1.83m) from any receptacle, and all 125-volt 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located within 20ft (6.0m) of the
pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), where distances are by measuring the shortest path the supply cord of an appliance
connected to the receptacle would follow, without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway with hinged or sliding door, window opening, or other effective permanent
barrier, to the inside wall of the pool.
Circulation Systems
1. Follow the instructions regarding positioning of all equipment connected to the circulation systems and operating the components.
2. Circulation equipment should be installed per manufacturer’s instructions to provide proper mounting and support, to prevent damage from misalignment,
settlement, and vibration, and to minimize the potential for the accumulation of debris and moisture. Please refer to pump’s instruction manual.
3. Replacement pump should never exceed the maximum flow rate marked on the suction fitting.
Ladder
1. The ladder should be located on a solid base and is to be installed per the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. One person on the ladder at a time.
3. The ladder should be designed and manufactured for a specific pool wall height.
4. For entry/exit of pool, face the ladder at all times.
5. To prevent entrapment or drowning do not swim through, behind, or around ladder.
6. Remove and secure ladder when pool is not occupied.
Pool Cover
Pool covers used for safety barriers shall comply with the latest published edition of ASTM F-1346, Standard performance specifications for safety covers and
labeling requirements for all covers for swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs.
Chemicals
For safety sake, ensure the deepest part of the pool is always visible. The user must properly maintain pool water clarity at all times. Check the pH and chlorine levels
periodically, and make sure they are within the recommended limits. Additional water treatment chemicals might be needed from time to time. Have the water sample
tested by a local pool supply store to determine if additional chemicals are needed. Turn on the pump for the recommended hours daily. If you are unsure of the time
frames please refer to support.polygroupstore.com for the recommended Pump Operation Hours based on pool types and sizes. Clean and replace filter cartridge
frequently. Replace only with genuine Polygroup
