WARNING
Check regularly for signs of wear or loose bolts that could make the pool, the pool
ladder, the pool deck, or any other related object unsafe.
WARNING
Check all the metal on the pool frame and pool wall for signs of corrosion or
deterioration. Remove any corrosion and touch up with paint. Excessive
deterioration can lead to failure of the pool structure, which might release large
quantities of water that could cause bodily harm and property damage.
Make sure skimmer does not leak as this will corrode the pool wall and cause
a split in the wall that is not covered under the pool warranty.
DANGER
After the pool has been completely assembled and filled with water, do not attempt
to make any structural changes or to disassemble the pool. Disregard of the above
warning can cause pool collapse, property damage and serious injury.
• Use clear lacquer or clear nail polish to cover screw heads.
• Use clear lacquer or nail polish to cover any scratches on ledges or verticals to
prevent rust and corrosion.
• Use wax to protect the pool wall and frame from the elements.
• Never leave the pool drained (without water). This can cause liner shrinkage and
damage the pool wall and frame.
• If you use the Thru The Wall fittings for your filter and decide to dismantle your pool
or remove your liner, it is possible that you may not be able to realign these holes
and a new liner may have to be purchased.
• For pool service, select a certified pool professional.
