POOL SETUP

IMPORTANT SITE SELECTION AND GROUND

PREPARATION INFORMATION

WARNING

• The pool location must allow you to secure all doors, windows, and safety barriers to prevent

unauthorized, unintentional or unsupervised pool entry.

• Install a safety barrier that will eliminate access to the pool for young children and pets.

• Failure to set up the pool on flat, level, compact ground and to assemble and fill with water

in accordance with the following instructions could result in the pool’s collapse or the

possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out/ejected, resulting in serious

injury or property damage.

• Risk of electric shock: connect the filter pump only to a grounding type receptacle protected

by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD). To reduce the risk

of an electrical shock, do not use extension cords, timers, plug adapters or converter plugs

to connect the pump to an electrical supply. Always provide a properly located outlet. Locate

the cord where it cannot be damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.

See the filter pump manual for additional warnings and instructions.

• Risk of serious injury: do not attempt to assemble pool in high wind conditions.

Select an outdoor location for the pool with the following requirements in mind:

1. The area where the pool is to be set up must be absolutely flat and level. Do not set up the pool on

a slope or inclined surface.

2. The ground surface must be compacted and firm enough to withstand the pressure and weight of a fully

set up pool. Do not set up the pool on mud, sand, soft or loose soil conditions.

3. Do not set up the pool on a deck, balcony or platform, which may collapse under the weight of the filled

pool.

4. The pool requires at least 5 - 6 feet (1.5 - 2.0m) of space all around pool from objects that a child could

climb on to gain access to the pool.

5. Grass under the pool will be damaged. Splash out chlorinated pool water could damage the surrounding

vegetation.

6. If the ground is not concrete (i.e., if it is asphalt, lawn or earth) you must place a piece of

pressure-treated wood, size 15” x 15” x 1.2” (38 x 38 x 3cm), under each U-shaped support and flush

with the ground. Alternatively you may use steel pads or reinforced tiles.

7. Consult your local pool supply retailer for advice on support pads.

8. Eliminate all aggressive grasses first. Certain types of grass such as St. Augustine and Bermuda, may

grow through the liner. Grass growing through the liner it is not a manufacture defect and is not covered

under warranty.

9. The area shall facilitate drainage of the pool water after each use and/or for long term pool storage.

POOL SETUP (continued)

You may have purchased this pool with the Intex Krystal Clear™ filter pump. The pump has its own separate set of installation instructions. First assemble your pool unit and then set up the filter pump.

Estimated assembly time 30~60 minutes. (Note the assembly time is only approximate and individual assembly experience may vary.)

1. • Remove the ground cloth from carton. Spread it out completely with its edges being at least 5 - 6’

(1.5 - 2.0 m) from any obstacle such as walls, fences, trees, etc.

• Remove the liner

(7) from carton and place it on top of the

ground cloth with the drain valve towards the draining area.

Place the drain valve away from the house. Open it up to

warm it in the sun. This warming will make installation

easier. Make sure the liner is centered atop the ground

cloth. Be sure to face the end with the 2 hose connectors

towards the electrical power source.

IMPORTANT: Do not drag the liner across the ground

as this can cause leaks or other damages (see drawing 1).

7

1

2. Remove all the parts from the carton(s) and place

them on the ground in the location where they are

to be assembled

(see drawings 2). Check

the parts listing and be sure all the pieces to be

assembled are accounted for.

IMPORTANT: Do not start assembly if any

pieces are missing. For replacement pieces

call the Consumer Service telephone number

in your area.

After all pieces are accounted for move the pieces

away from the liner for of installation.

3. Be sure the liner is opened and spread out to its fullest extent on top of the ground cloth. Starting with

one side, slide the closed end of “A” beam first into the sleeve openings located near the corner. Continue

with “C” beam snapping into the “A” beam. Keep the metal beam holes aligned with the white liner sleeve

holes. Continue inserting all “A-C” beams into the sleeve openings, and do the same on the other side.

(Be sure all sides end up with the metal beam holes aligned with the white liner sleeve holes.)

POOL SETUP (continued)

4. Slide the restrainer strap (9) onto the large U-shaped side support

(12). Repeat for all restrainer straps and U-supports (see drawing 3).

IMPORTANT: The liner is to remain flat on the ground during the

next step #5. This is why 5 - 6’ of clearance space around the

pool is necessary.

5. • The tops of the U-shaped side supports have a double button spring

loaded clip that is factory pre-installed. Insert the side supports into

the “A-C” beam holes by squeezing the bottom button inward

with your fingers.

• Squeezing this bottom button will allow the support to enter the

beam. Once the U-support is inside the beam release the finger

pressure allowing the support to “SNAP” into place. Repeat this

procedure for all U-shaped side supports (see drawing 4).

8. If the ground is not concrete (asphalt, lawn or earth) you must place

a piece of pressure-treated wood, size 15” x 15” x 1.2”, under each

leg and flush with the ground. The U-shaped side supports must be

placed in the center of the pressure-treated wood and with the wood

grain perpendicular to the support leg (see drawing 7).

POOL SETUP (continued)

9. Flip the top ring out to ensure the top ring is fully outside of the wall line and facing up. Inflate the top

ring, keeping it centered in the middle of the pool, with an air pump.

IMPORTANT: To prevent bursting, DO NOT use a high pressure pump such as an air compressor.

DO NOT over inflate. Use an Intex manual inflation hand pump (not included).

IMPORTANT

Proper inflation of the top ring.

The ambient temperatures of air and water have an effect on the top ring internal pressure. The best procedure for maintaining proper inflation is to leave some room for daytime expansion as the sun heats the air inside the ring. During very hot weather check the ring to see if some air must be released to avoid damage.

In no event shall Intex, their authorized agents or employees be liable for damages (such as pin holes) to the inflatable top ring caused by negligence, ordinary wear and tear, abuse and carelessness, or external forces.

10. Before filling with water, be sure:

• All the U-shaped side supports (12) are straight and properly aligned;

• All the restrainer straps

(9) are positioned in the center of U-shaped side supports (12);

• The liner straps are pulled outwards from the pool bottom, and the restrainer straps (9) are taut or

laying flat on the ground;

• The drain plug inside the pool is closed and the drain cap on the outside is screwed on tightly.

Fill the pool with no more than 1 inch of water; and look to see if there is any noticeable difference in the slope of the pool floor.

IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool flows to one side, the pool is not completely level. Setting up the pool on unlevel ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in the sidewall material to bulge. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area and re-fill the

pool.

• Begin to smooth out the remainder of wrinkles (from inside pool) by pushing out where the pool floor

and pool sides meet, or (from outside pool) reach under the pool side, grasp the pool floor and pull

out. If the ground cloth is causing the wrinkles, have 2 people pull from either side to remove all

wrinkles.

11. Fill the pool with water up to the bottom of the inflated ring which is the recommended fill line level. The pool liner walls will rise while you are filling it.

IMPORTANT: As the pool fills with water, check on the U-shaped side supports (12) to ensure they are straight and properly aligned with the horizontal top beams periodically until the pool is full of water.

12. Aquatic Safety

Select a highly visible area near the pool to post the Danger No Diving or Jumping sign included later in this manual.

IMPORTANT

Before allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting. Establish a set of rules that include, at a minimum, the important safety rules and general aquatic safety information in this

manual. Review these rules on a regular basis and with all users of the pool, including guests.

POOL MAINTENANCE & CHEMICALS

WARNING

REMEMBER TO

• Protect all pool occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the pool water

clean and sanitized. Do not swallow the pool water. Always practice good hygiene.

• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside

barrier of the pool.

• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious

injury.

Water maintenance

The maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the liner as well as ensuring clean, healthy and safe water. Proper technique is important for testing and treating the pool water. See your pool professional for chemical, test kits and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written instructions from the chemical manufacturer.

1. Never let chlorine come in contact with the liner if it is not completely dissolved. Dissolve granular or

tablet chlorine first in a bucket of water, then add it to the pool water. Likewise with liquid chlorine; mix it

immediately and thoroughly with the pool water.

2. Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the pool water separately. Thoroughly dissolve each

chemical before adding another one to the water.

3. An Intex pool skimmer and an Intex pool vacuum are available to assist in maintaining clean pool water.

See your pool dealer for these pool accessories.

4. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the pool.

POOL MAINTENANCE & DRAINAGE

CAUTION

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER'S

DIRECTIONS, AND THE HEALTH AND HAZARD WARNINGS.

Do not add chemicals if the pool is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation. Concentrated chlorine solutions can damage the pool liner. In no event is Intex Recreation Corp., Intex Development Co.

Ltd., their related companies, authorized agents and service centers, retailers or employees liable to the buyer or any other party for costs associated with the loss of pool water, chemicals or water damage.

Keep

spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks. We recommend the use of a

Krystal Clear™ Intex Filter Pump with all of our above-ground-pools.

EXCESSIVE RAIN: To avoid damage to the pool and over filling, immediately drain rain water that causes the water level to be higher than the maximum.

How to Drain Your Pool and Long Term Storage

Note: This pool has drain valves installed in 2 corners. Connect the garden hose to the corner valve that directs the water to the appropriate location.

1. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.

2. Check to make sure that the drain plug inside the pool is plugged in place.

3. Remove the cap from the drain valve on the outside pool wall.

4. Attach the female end of the garden hose to the drain connector.

5. Place the other end of the hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the house

and other nearby structures.

6. Attach the drain connector to the drain valve. NOTE: The drain connector will push the drain plug

open inside the pool and water will start to drain immediately.

7. When the water stops draining, start lifting the pool from the side opposite the drain, leading any

remaining water to the drain and emptying the pool completely.

8. Disconnect hose and adapter when finished.

9. Re-insert drain plug in drain valve on inside of pool for storage.

10. Replace drain cap on outside of pool.

11. Reverse the set-up instructions to disassemble the pool. Completely deflate the top ring, and remove all

connecting parts.

12. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air dry the liner in the sun until

completely dry before folding (see drawing 8). Sprinkle some talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from

sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.

13. Create rectangular shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner into itself twice. Do the same on the

opposite side (see drawings 9.1 & 9.2).

14. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book (see

drawings 10.1 & 10.2).

15. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 11).

16. Fold one over the other like closing a book and finally compact the liner (see drawing 12).

17. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit

(0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), storage location.

18. The original packing can be used for storage.

WINTER PREPARATIONS

Winterizing your Above Ground Pool

After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place. You must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool when the temperature drops below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool and related components. Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool collapse. Also see the section ‘’How To Drain Your Pool’’.

Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees

Celsius), and you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:

1. Clean the pool water thoroughly. If the type is an Easy Set Pool or an Oval Frame Pool,

make sure that the top ring is properly inflated.

2. Remove the skimmer (if applicable) or any accessories attached to the threaded strainer

connector. Replace strainer grid if necessary. Be sure all accessories parts are clean and

completely dry before storage.

3. Plug the Inlet and Outlet fitting from the inside of the pool with the plug provided (sizes 16'

and below). Close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve (sizes 17' and above).

4. Remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Be sure the ladder is completely

dry before storage.

5. Remove the hoses that connect the pump and filter to the pool.

6. Add the appropriate chemicals for the winter period. Consult your local pool dealer as to

which chemicals you should use and how to use them. This can vary greatly by region.

7. Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT NOTE: INTEX POOL COVER IS NOT A

SAFETY COVER.

8. Clean and drain the pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard the old filter

cartridge. Keep a spare cartridge for the next season.

9. Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably between 32

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all risks and or dangers.

For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized Safety Organizations:

• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as a “lifeguard” or

water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.

• Learn to swim.

• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.

• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the use

of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.

• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.

• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.

• Supervise, supervise, supervise.

Your Intex Pool has been manufactured using the highest quality materials and workmanship. All Intex products have been inspected and found free of defects prior to leaving the factory. This Limited Warranty applies to the Intex Pool only.

This limited warranty is in addition to, and not a substitute for, your legal rights and remedies. To the extent that this warranty is inconsistent with any of your legal rights, they take priority.

The provisions of this Limited Warranty apply only to the original purchaser and are not transferable. This Limited Warranty is valid for a period of 90 days from the date of the initial retail purchase.

If you find a manufacturing defect in the Intex Pool during the warranty period, please contact the appropriate Intex Service Center listed in the separate “Authorized Service

Centers” sheet. If the item is returned as directed by the Intex Service Center, the Service

Center will inspect the item and determine the validity of the claim. If the item is covered by the provisions of the warranty, the item will be repaired or replaced, with the same or comparable item (at Intex’s choice) at no charge to you.

Other than this warranty, and other legal rights in your country, no further warranties are implied. To the extent possibly in your country, in no event shall Intex be liable to you or any third party for direct or consequential damages arising out of the use of your Intex Pool, or Intex or its agents’ and employees’ actions (including the manufacture of the product).

If your country does not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, this limitation or exclusion does not apply to you.

You should note that this limited warranty does not apply in the following circumstances:

• If the Intex Pool is subject to negligence, abnormal use or application, accident,

improper operation, improper maintenance or storage.

but not limited to, punctures, tears, abrasions, ordinary wear and tear and damage caused by exposure to fire, flood, freezing, rain, or other external environmental forces;

• To parts and components not sold by Intex; and/or

• To unauthorized alterations, repairs or disassembly to the Intex Pool by anyone other than Intex Service Center personnel.
