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.
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. 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 a great deal 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
underwater adhesive repair patch provided.
Refer to the FAQ’s for further information.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of
chemicals and pH kits. One of the most important factors to increase
the life of the liner is to keep continuously clean and healthy water.
Please strictly follow the instructions from professional technicians
for the water treatment through the use of chemicals.
2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users’ feet before
entering pool.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Check and wash the filter cartridge regularly.
6. Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.

The following table lists the sequence of the tests that should be
carried out for the ideal values and possible actions. Regularly check
the pH value and chlorine concentration weekly and adjust to the ideal
values.

Dismantling
1. Unscrew the drain valve cap on the outside of the pool counter
clockwise and remove.
2. Connect the adaptor to the hose and put the other end of the hose
in the area where you are going to drain your pool. (Check local
regulations for drainage by-laws).
3. Screw the control ring of the hose adaptor clockwise onto the drain
valve. The drain valve will be open and water will start to drain
automatically.
ATTENTION: Water flow can be controlled with the
control ring.
4. When draining is finished, unscrew the control ring to close the
valve.
5. Disconnect the hose.
6. Screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
7. Air dry pool.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
Storage and Winterization
1. Please remove all the accessories and spare parts of the pool and
store them clean and dry.
2. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent
pool from sticking together, fold pool carefully. If pool is not
completely dry, mold may result and will damage the pool liner.
3. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate
temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.
4. During the rainy season, pool and accessories should be stored as
per above instructions also.
5. Improper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury
and/or damage to personal property.
6. We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled during the off
season (winter months). Store in a dry location out of children’s
reach.
