SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure you have access to water to fill the pool and chemicals for the water.
IMPORTANT: This filter pump is shipped with the air release valve (1) open (open the air release valve if necessary). DO NOT replace the air release valve until you reach STEP #8.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in air trapped inside filter housing; the motor will run dry, be noisy and malfunction.

1.  Assemble above-ground-pool first. Carefully follow the pool’s installation instructions.
2. Place the filter pump the length of the hose away from the pool wall where the lower black protruding hose connection is “sticking-out”.
3. Insert the nozzle union (13 & 10) into the upper protruding hose connections, and then attach the pool inlet air adaptor (15) to the upper protruding fitting. Screw the  air jet valve (14)over the pool inlet air adaptor (15). Then insert the strainer union (9 & 11) into the lower protruding hose connections. The hoses (8) fit over the strainers inserted into the connections.
4. There are two hoses to be connected to the filter pump hose connections. With hose clamps (7), fasten one of the hoses (8) to the lower protruding hose connection (marked “+” on the pool liner) and to the upper pump connection (marked “+”).
5. Connect the second hose to the pool inlet air adaptor (15) and to the lower pump connection. Make sure all the hose clamps (7) are tight. NOTE: Make sure the air jet valve (14) is securely tighten onto the pool inlet air adaptor (15) and facing up.
6. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded filter housing collar (12) from the filter housing. Grasp and remove the housing cover (3). Check to see if a cartridge is inside the housing. If yes, replace the cover, finger tighten the housing collar (12) back onto the filter housing.
7. Fill the pool to a level of at least 1-2 inches above the top connection. The water will automatically flow down into the pump.
   8. When water starts flowing out of the air release valve hole, screw in the air release valve back into the filter housing cover. Do not over tighten the valve.
   NOTE: Venting the system is necessary for air to escape as the filter housing fills with water.
8. Connect the filter pump to the power outlet. The filter pump is now filtering the water.
9. Operate the filter pump until the desired water clarity is obtained.
   NOTE: Never put pool chemicals directly into the filter pump. This may damage the pump and void the warranty.
   

For Pools with Dual Suction Outlets Configuration:
In order to comply with the requirement of the Virginia Graeme Baker Act (for USA and Canada), your pool is designed with dual suction outlets and one inlet fittings. Parts in grey highlight on this page are supplied with the pool set package and are shown here for assembly purposes only. If this pump was purchased as part of a pool set, refer to the pool owner’s manual for more details.

Maintenance

CLEANING OR REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGES

1. Make sure filter pump is not operating. Disconnect line cord.
2. To prevent water from escaping the pool, unscrew the pool inlet nozzle (10) and strainer grid (11) from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs into the strainer connectors.
3. In a counter-clockwise motion, remove the filter housing collar (12) and threaded cover (3).
   Be careful not to lose the cover seal (4).
4. Remove filter cartridge (5) to clean it. The filter may be cleaned from the spray from a water hose.
5. Use judgement as to whether cartridge needs to be replaced.
6. Return cartridge to filtering position.
7. Return the seal (4) and threaded cover (3) to their original positions and in a clockwise direction rescrew the housing collar (12) onto the filter housing.
8. After service, open the air release valve, remove the plugs, allow any air to escape through the valve before tightening the valve again and replace the pool inlet nozzle (10) and strainer grid (11). The pump is now primed with water again and may be turned on.

POOL CARE AND CHEMICALS

• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper chemical control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and can not be overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required when filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• The season’s first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives and extra filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of grass may grow through the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various run times so as to produce clean clear water.

Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.

LONG TERM STORAGE

1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Now, drain the pool.
3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all pool hoses (8) from the pool and filter pump, simply reverse the set up instructions.
4. Remove the filter cartridge as shown in the Filter Cartridge Cleaning section, steps 2 thru 4.
5. Remove the nozzle and strainer unions from the pool wall. Place the wall plugs into the hose connections. Loosen clamps (7) securing the strainer connectors (9) before removal.
6. Drain water from the filter pump housing.
7. Leave filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
8. Depending on the cartridge (5) usage, a new cartridge may be needed for next season, keep a spare available.
9. Cover the seal (4), air release valve O-ring (2) and hose seals (6) with petroleum jelly to preserve its resilience during storage.
10. Store the unit and accessories in a dry place. The storage’s temperature should be controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) storage location.
11. The original packing can be used for storage.

FAQS

Can I use this pump for Intex swim center family pool 120in x72in x22in?

I have the round 12′ w x 30″ h pool that came with the 530 gph filter pump that has 1 1/4″ hoses and this 1000 gph pump was a direct replacement. No hose adapters were needed. I’m not exactly sure what the model number is of the 530 gph pump but the hoses fit perfectly onto this pump. All I did was plug the inlet/outlet openings in the pool with the plugs that came with the pool and swapped out the pump. Took 5 minutes. I found a lot of the reviews here confusing because some seemed to indicate that hose adapters would be necessary but that turned out not to be the case. I’m pretty happy with this pump. Works waaaay better than the 530 gph.

I have a 14000 gallon BestWay pool, will this pool pump fit on my pool?

It may fit depending on the hoses. I own a 12×30 Summer waves pool with 1.25 inch hose openings and I was able to use this pump. I had to purchase hose adapters and threading tape.

Did this come with the hoses and plunger valves or are those separate?

Includes pump, two hoses and directional inlet. NO outlet fittings and NO plunger valves. In addition, for anyone making a “hillbilly pool” with a stock tank, this cannot pull water over the top. The best I can see, holes will need to be cut in the side so water can flow down into the pump.

I have a 12’x30″ pool just hooked it up had great flow for about 30 minutes now it runs much slower! What do I need to do???

Sometimes debris will get past the skimmer and get caught in the plastic grating where the water leaves the pool. Unscrew the cover inside the pool where the outlet is and you may find it is clogged with hair and stems from leaves etc. If that isn’t the cause, try changing the filter and/or opening the valve on top of the filter housing to release any air that may have built up in the pump

does it have a timer

Yes it has a timer. Adjustable at set hours. 2,4,6,8,and 12 hours I believe. Lowest setting is 2 and longest setting is 12

What size filter does this pump use?

It uses a pleated cylindrical filter, Type B 5 3/4″ diameter x 10″ high.

what size are the inlets and outlets?

1-1/4″ 1.24 inches

Does it come with a filter

Yes. It has one inside it. I purchased an extra pack of filters with it just to have them as needed.

will it support a 18×52 intex round pool?

No it will not. This pool pump is way to small ,to circulate the amount of water that needs to be filtered. You will need to get the pool pump filter that uses the # A – filters. Remember, you can wash the filters with a hard pressure setting on you garden hose nozzle.

Does the 2500gph unit still use the a/c filters

No the 2500 gph is a b filter.
The smaller intex pumps (1000 & 1500) take the A or C filters.

I wanted to test this pump before putting holes in my stock tank. Can I just put the hoses in the water?

Not really and depending how deep the pool is will matter. This pump is designed to fit in thick vinyl pool with prepositioned openings that allow for circulation. I have 14’ round 48” high pool and my old pump burned out after 3 years of use. I would recommend buying the Intex pool set, pump included.

Can I put this on a 10x30in Intex if I get the adapters?

Yes out this pump on our 10×30 Intex but you do need adapters

Do this pump work for a 18×48?

It would if it had worked

Can you hook two together in series for double the filtering?

You would be better to run 2 filters in the pool that would filter twice as much water. Instead of filtering the filtered water a second time.

Will this fit a spasharoundpool summer breeze 10x rectangle pool? it has two holes in the liner, each are about 2 1/4in. Would I need a converter?

A converter is what I had to purchase for my pool, a 16′ radius pool. Check out my video I posted. You’ll see the reducer I had to purchase for my pool.

can i use this pump for a 12 ft. round above ground pool?

I use it for a 13 ft round pool and it is great I did need to buy special adapters for the hoses because the pump uses larger ones.
I believe they are 1.5 inches as opposed to the 1 1/4 that came with my pool.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

• The Saltwater System requires a separate fi later pump [300~1000 gph (1136~3785 lph)] to drive the water and function properly.
• The Saltwater System must be installed as the last piece of pool equipment in the water return line to the pool as displayed below. This location extends the life of the titanium plates.
• Remove any large debris and particles such as leaves, sand, insects, and bugs from the pool water fi first.

1. Assemble the above-ground pool (AGP) and its fi later pump according to their installation instructions.
2. Take the Saltwater System and its accessories out of the packaging.
3.  Place the Saltwater System in line after the fi later pump.
4. Connect the connector hose (2) to the Saltwater System inlet with a hose clamp (3).
5. Go directly to step 6 if your pool is empty. If your above-ground pool is fi filled with water, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the black hat-like plugs into the connectors, before installing the saltwater pool system.
6.  Disconnect the water return hose from the fi later pump connection and connect it to the Saltwater System outlet.
7. Connect the connector hose (2) to the fi later pump outlet connection with a hose clamp (3).
   Tighten securely.
8.  Remove the black hat-like plugs that prevent water from fl owing out of the pool. Now, return the strainer grids to the strainer connectors.

SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES

• Which kind of salt to use:
  For use within the European Union, salt must be from an authorized salt supplier registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) – visit echa.europa.eu. *
  Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
  Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt).  However, it will take a longer time for them to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create chlorine. The purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
• Optimum Salt Levels
  The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal level is 3000 ppm.
  A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Saltwater System and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste in the pool water (this may occur at a salt level above 3500-4000ppm). The too-high salt level may damage the power supply and cause corrosion to the pool metal fixtures and accessories. The  Salt Table page of this manual shows the correct dosage of salt needed.
• Adding Salt

1. Switch the fi latter pump on to start the water circulation.
2. Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
3. Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
4. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5. Avoid clogging the fi later. Do not add salt through the skimmer.
6. Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow the salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the fi later pump for 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
7. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press code “00” fl ashing, and set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see  “Operating Time Table”).

• Removing Salt
  If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see “Alarm Codes”). You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so is to partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water. Drain and refill approximately 20% of the pool’s water until the “Code 92” disappears.
• Pool Volume Calculation

* The European Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) requires that salt (sodium chloride) used as a precursor for on-site generation of active chlorine by electrolysis must be registered by the salt supplier with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and such supplier must be included on ECHA’s list of authorized suppliers (Article 95 list).

INTEX POOLS SALT TABLE

This table shows the amount of salt needed to achieve and maintain the optimal 3000 ppm salt level.

INTEX POOLS CYANURIC ACID TABLE

Cyanuric acid is a chemical that reduces the loss of chlorine in water due to ultraviolet rays. To maintain the pool water clear and clean, and to maximize the performance of the device, add cyanuric acid to the pool. We recommend that the cyanuric acid level be maintained at approximately 0.35% of the salt, i.e. 100 Lbs (45 Kgs) salt x 0.35% =0.35 Lbs (0.16 Kgs) cyanuric acid.

INTEX POOLS OPERATING TIMETABLE (WITH CYANURIC ACID)

IMPORTANT

The filter pump running time should be 1 hour longer than the required operating time of the Saltwater System.

NOTE: If an Intex fi later pump has a timer on the GFCI, the maximum run time is 10 hours. The timer will need to be manually reset in order to extend the operating time.

   NOTE: The Saltwater System will not operate if the filter pump is not operating. Make sure to program your filter pump (or start it manually) for operation beginning 5  minutes before the saltwater system and finishing 15 minutes after the saltwater system.
4. Lock keypad controls:
   With the desired hour value showing, press the button. A green “WORKING” indicator on the control panel will light up within a few seconds to indicate that the saltwater system has started sodium hypochlorite production, the LED will display the remaining chlorinator hours until it’s finished. Locking the control buttons into this setting prevents unauthorized changing of the operating cycle.
   NOTE: If you forget to lock the keypad controls, the system will automatically lock it and start working 10 seconds later.
5. Readjust operating time if necessary:
   The operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Press the button and the current programmed time will flash. Repeat steps 3 to 4.
6. Stand-by/power saving mode:
   • When the cycle ends, the green “SLEEP” indicator on the control panel lights up and the LED display flashes “93”. The system is now in Stand-By mode. After a while,  it shuts down and sets itself in a Power Saving mode. The system will automatically turn itself back on in 24 hours, starting its daily cycle of sodium hypochlorite production.
   • The “SLEEP” indicator stays on, while the system is in the Power Saving mode. The LED display, however, goes blank after 5 minutes. Press any button ( or ) to view the last LED code.

LED CODE CHART

IMPORTANT

When Code “90” alarm is shown, ensure the timer of the filter pump is set one (1) hour longer than the Saltwater System.
If the filter pump does not have a built-in timer, the filter pump needs to be turned on/off manually every day.

SALTWATER SYSTEM STATIONARY MOUNTING

Some countries, especially in the European community, require the product to be secured to the ground or to a base in a permanently upright position. Check with your local authorities to determine if there is a regulation in your area regarding above-the-ground swimming pool fi later pumps. If yes, then the product can be mounted to a platform using the two holes located in the base. See the drawing below.
The product can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden platform to prevent accidental tipping. The total assembly must exceed 18kg.

1. The mounting holes are 6.4 mm in diameter and spaced 52 mm apart.
2. Use two bolts and locknuts with a maximum of 6.4 mm in diameter.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your system. Also, insert the black hat-like plugs in the strainer opening to prevent water spillage. After completing all maintenance tasks, you must plug the power cord back in and remove the plugs.

Titanium Electrode Cleaning
The titanium electrode has a self-cleaning function incorporated into the electronic control’s programming. In most cases, this self-cleaning action will keep the electrode working at optimum effi science. If the pool water is hard (high mineral content) the electrode may require periodic manual cleaning. To maintain maximum performance, we recommend that you open and visually inspect the titanium electrode (7) monthly. The following steps provide instructions on how to clean your cell.

Inspection and cleaning:

1. Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
2.  To prevent water from fl owing out of the pool, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs into the strainer connectors.
3. Disconnect the 2 hoses from the Saltwater System (see drawings 1~3).
4.  Unscrew the titanium electrode plug collar, and disconnect the plug from the titanium electrode (7) (see drawing 4).
5. Unscrew the cell nut, and remove the titanium electrode from the cell housing (see drawing 5).
6. Place the titanium electrode in a container and pour kitchen-grade vinegar into the container until the titanium electrode is immersed. Soak for 1 hour and then fluse with a
   high-pressure garden hose (see drawing 6).
7. Reverse steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 to reconnect the electrolytic cell.

INTEX® TEST STRIPS (PACKED WITH THE PRODUCT)

The Test Strips can test the “Free Chlorine”, “pH”, “Calcium Hardness” and “Total Alkalinity” levels at the same time. We recommend that you test the water chemistry weekly,  and maintain the chlorine concentration at 1.0-3.0 ppm.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

•  The Saltwater System requires a separate filter pump [300~1000 gph (1136~ 3785 lph)] to drive the water and function properly.
•  The Saltwater System must be installed as the last piece of pool equipment in the water return line to the pool as displayed below. This location extends the life of the titanium plates.
•  Remove any large debris and particles such as leaves, sand, insects, and bugs from the pool water first.

1.  Assemble the above-ground pool (AGP) and its filter pump according to their installation instructions.
2.  Take the Saltwater System and its accessories out of the packaging.
3.  Place the Saltwater System in line with the filter pump.
4.  Connect the connector hose (2) to the Saltwater System inlet with a hose clamp (3).
5.  Go directly to step 6 if your pool is empty. If your above-ground pool is filled with water, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the black hat-like plugs into the connectors, before installing the saltwater pool system.
6.  Disconnect the water return hose from the filter pump connection and connect it to the Saltwater System outlet.
7.  Connect the connector hose (2) to the filter pump outlet connection with a hose clamp (3). Tighten securely.
8. Remove the black hat-like plugs that prevent water from flowing out of the pool. Now, return the strainer grids to the strainer connectors.

SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES

Which kind of salt to use:

Use only Sodium Chloride Salts

Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take a longer time for them to dissolve.
Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create sodium hypochlorite. The purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.

Optimum Salt Levels

The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal level is 3000 ppm. A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Saltwater System and result in low sodium hypochlorite production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste to the pool water (this may occur at a salt level above 3500-4000ppm). Too high a salt level may damage the power supply and cause corrosion to the pool metal fixtures and accessories. The Salt Table page of this manual shows the correct dosage of salt needed. The salt in the pool is constantly recycled.

Adding Salt

1.  Switch the filter pump on to start the water circulation.
2.  Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
3.  Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
4.  Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5.  Avoid clogging the filter. Do not add salt through the skimmer.
   Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow the salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press the button, code “00” flashing and set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see “Operating Time Table”).

Removing Salt

If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see “Alarm Codes”). You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so, is to partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water. Drain and refill approximately 20% of the pool’s water until the “Code 92” disappears.

Pool Volume Calculation

INTEX POOLS SALT TABLE

This table shows the amount of salt needed to achieve and maintain the optimal 3000 ppm salt level.

INTEX POOLS CYANURIC ACID TABLE

Cyanuric acid is a chemical that reduces the loss of chlorine in water due to ultraviolet rays. To maintain the pool water clear and clean, and to maximize the performance of the device, add cyanuric acid to the pool. We recommend that the cyanuric acid level be maintained at approximately 0.35% of the salt, i.e. 100 Lbs (45 Kgs) salt x0.35% = 0.35 Lbs (0.16 Kgs) cyanuric acid. If the pool water is dirty, filthy or grimy, DO NOT add chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) as this will slowdown the sanitation time of the device. Under this condition you must BOOST your pool water, refer to BOOST cycle steps. Once the pool water has been restored to clear and clean conditions you may add cyanuric acid.

LED CODE CHART

IMPORTANT

When Code “90” alarm is shown, ensure the timer of the filter pump is set one (1) hour longer than the Saltwater System. If the filter pump does not have a built-in timer, the filter pump needs to be turned on/off manually every day.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT

Unplug the power cord before cleaning your system. Also insert the black hat-like plugs in the strainer opening to prevent water spillage. After completing all maintenance tasks, you must plug the power cord back in and remove the plugs.

Titanium Electrode Cleaning
The titanium electrode has a self-cleaning function incorporated into the electronic control’s programming. In most cases, this self-cleaning action will keep the electrode working at optimum efficiency. If the pool water is hard (high mineral content) the electrode may require periodic manual cleaning. To maintain maximum performance, we recommend that you open and visually inspect the titanium electrode (7) monthly.
The following steps provide instructions on how to clean your cell.

Inspection and cleaning:

1.  Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
2.  To prevent water from flowing out of the pool, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs into the strainer connectors.
3.  Disconnect the 2 hoses from the Saltwater System (see drawings 1~3).
4.  Unscrew the titanium electrode plug collar, disconnect the plug from the titanium electrode (7) (see drawing 4).
5.  Unscrew the cell nut, remove the titanium electrode from the cell housing (see drawing 5).
6.  Place the titanium electrode in a container and pour kitchen-grade vinegar into the container until the titanium electrode is immersed. Soak for 1 hour and then flush with a high-pressure garden hose (see drawing 6).
7.  Reverse steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 to reconnect the electrolytic cell.

How-To’s Inflation

Please note: airbeds must be at room temperature prior to inflation to help avoid leaks.

1. Remove the airbed from the plastic bag. (Keep the bag away from children and dispose of bag safely.)
2. Place your rolled-up bed on the floor with plenty of space and away from sharp objects.
3. Before inflation, locate the valve at the end of the bed and open the cap.
4. To use the AC pump, insert the pump nozzle into the valve opening, then press the switch to turn on the pump. (Keep pump away from water.)
5. To prevent bursting, do not overinflate or use a high-pressure air compressor. Do not leave airbed unattended during inflation.
6. Listen closely for a high-pitched whining sound, which will signal that the airbed is now inflated to its fullest, firmest capacity.
7. Once the airbed is fully inflated, remove the pump and tighten the valve cap.

Caution: Sleep in the center of the bed rather than on the edges (as edges are less supportive and may crush underweight).

Deflation & Storage

There are two ways to deflate the airbed: turn the pump to the deflate position (if applicable) and let the pump do the work, or open the valve and simply let the air flow out.

1. Point the exhaust valve away from any person.
2. Open the valve cap and release air.
3. Fold the sides of the bed into the center along its length. Tightly roll your bed towards the air release valve.
4. Roll the bed until all air is completely expelled.
5. When the bed is completely rolled, close the air valve.
6. Place the bed in a bag or box so it won’t unroll.
7. Store in a dry, clean location.

Care & Maintenance

• Inspect your airbed prior to each use.
• Keep your airbed away from sharp objects. Large cuts or snags may be too big to repair and will not be covered by your warranty.
• When not in use, we recommend storing your airbed in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and sunlight.
• Make sure your airbed is at room temperature before inflating.
• We recommend that you do not let the plush surface of your airbed get wet.
  Repeated exposure to water or other liquids may cause damage to the plush surface that will not be covered by your warranty. Should liquid come into contact with the plush surface, blot the liquid dry and use a damp cloth to remove any stains. Let the surface dry completely before storage or use.
• Do not store your airbed folded inside a sofa-bed, futon, or roll-away bed. Not only can it damage the airbed, but improper storage will also void your warranty.
• A repair patch has been included in case of incidental damage to your airbed. Please follow the repair instructions carefully.

If needed, you may clean the PVC on the sides and bottom of your airbed with a mild dishwashing detergent or household cleaner. Do not use strong chemicals or other compounds, which may impact durability. Be sure to let your airbed dry completely after cleaning and before storing.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

• Risk of Accidental Drowning (especially children under 5 years). Caution shall be exercised to prevent unauthorized access to spa by children. This can be reached by an adult supervisor securing the means of access or installing a safety protection device to the spa. To avoid accidents during spa use, ensure that children are kept under constant supervision.
• Risk of drowning. Inspect the spa cover regularly for leaks, premature wear, and tear, damage, or signs of deterioration. Never use a worn or damaged cover: it will not provide the level of protection required to prevent unsupervised access to the spa by a child.
• Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump,  be sure that the flow rates are compatible? Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
• Risk of injury. Replace the damaged cord immediately. Do not bury the cord. Never use an extension cord.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 3.5 m (11.5 feet) of a spa or hot tub.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do not use and unplug the spa when it is raining, thundering or lightning.

• The spa electrical appliance should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• The spa electrical appliance comprises a portable residual current device (PRCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 10 mA. If a leakage current of more than 10 mA is detected, the PRCD will operate and cut-off the power supply, in such case, unplug and stop using the spa at once. You must contact the local service center for assistance and/or repair of the product.
• Parts containing live parts, except parts supplied with safety extra-low voltage not exceeding 12V, must be inaccessible to a person in the spa.
• Electrical installation shall fulfill the requirements of local national standards.
• Parts incorporating electrical components, except remote control devices, must be located or fixed so that they cannot fall into the spa.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.
• To reduce the risk of child drowning, supervise children at all times. Attach and lock spa cover after each use.
• To reduce the risk of injury/illness:
  a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. It is recommended to seek medical advice before use.

The maintenance of a proper water balance through the appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the spa tub as well as ensuring clean, healthy and safe water. Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the spa water. See your pool/spa professional for chemical, sanitizer, test kits and testing procedures questions.
CAuTION: ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER’S DIRECTIONS AND THE HEALTH AND HAZARD WARNINGS.
Do not add chemicals if the spa is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation. Concentrated chlorine solutions can damage the spa tub. 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 spa water, chemicals or water damage.

Maintenance of Spa Water and Cartridge
Protect all the spa occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the spa water clean and sanitized.
Always practice good hygiene. To ensure proper spa water quality follow these procedures:

Water Chemistry Balance
Maintain the spa water pH level between 6.8 and 7.6, total alkalinity level between 60 and 120 ppm, and free chlorine level between 2 to 4 ppm. Use the included test strips to test the spa water chemistry before each use of the spa and continue to test the water no less than once a week.
The Test Strips can test the “Free Chlorine”, “pH”, “Total Alkalinity” and “Calcium Hardness” levels at the same time:

1. Dip the entire strip into the water and remove immediately.
2. Hold the strip level for 15 seconds. Do not shake excess water from the strip.
3. Compare the strip pad to the color chart on the packaging label. If necessary, adjust the chemical level in the pool water.

NOTE: Check the expiry date of the test kit as the test results may be inaccurate if the kit is used after that date. Low pH will damage the spa tub and pump. Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
Use the included chemical floater dispenser to administer chlorine [chemical tablet size: less than 1” (2.5 cm) diameter] into the spa water. Add 1 tablet into the dispenser.  Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions. Remove the chemical floater dispenser when the spa is in use. Never let chlorine come in contact with the spa tub if it is not completely dissolved. Flush all pipes with treated water by activating the bubble function for an hour a day.
IMPORTANT: Press the button on the spa control panel to turn on the bubble air blower and help dissolve the chemicals into the water.
Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the spa water separately. Thoroughly dissolve each chemical before adding another one to the water.

SPA WATER CHEMISTRY AND BALANCE

Particular care should be taken with the chemical treatment of the water with special attention to disinfectant limits and control of pH values. The use of ozone or UV, where applicable, shall always be accompanied by residual disinfection with an oxidizing biocide (e.g. Chlorine or Bromine or other biocide products, compatible with manufacturer’s recommendations).
Improper use of chemicals may result in degradation, damage and other imperfections of the spa surface and other spa components (typically discoloration of materials,  corrosion of metal parts).
Free chlorine is the chlorine residual present in the spa water.
The result if too low – Inadequate level of disinfection.
Result if too high – cause odor problem, skin & eye irritation, corroded metals and other materials.
pH: a value that indicates how acidic or basic the spa water is.
Result if too low – Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation, and destruction of total alkalinity.
The result if too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter filter/heater runs, eye & skin irritation, poor chlorine efficiency.
Total Alkalinity (TA): indicates the degree of the water’s resistance to pH change. It determines the speed
and ease of pH change, so always adjust total alkalinity before adjusting the pH level.
The result if too low – Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation. Low alkalinity will cause the pH to be unstable.
The result if too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter filter/heater runs, eye & skin irritation, high chlorine demand.

Calcium Hardness (CaCO3): refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in the water.
The result if too low – Difficulty balancing water, corrosion of metal components, eye & skin irritation, and water foaming.
Result if too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, eye & skin irritation, difficulty balancing water, and filter/ heater inefficiency.
Saturation Index (SI): temperature, calcium hardness concentration, total alkalinity, and pH represent the main factors influencing scale formation. The tendency of water to  either form scale or corrode is indicated by the Saturation Index (SI):
SI = pH+TF+CF+AF-12.1
*Where: TF = Temperature Factor; CF = Calcium Hardness Factor; AF = Total Alkalinity Factor

Test the water pH, Temperature, Calcium Hardness, and Total Alkalinity levels. Use the equivalent Factors in the SI equation.
SI = 0, Balance
If SI > 0, Scaling or cloudy water condition.
If SI < 0, Corrosive to metals or eye & skin-irritating condition.
The SI is considered satisfactory if the value is within -0.3 to +0.3 range. Zero being perfect.
SPA Water Adjustment
How to adjust the spa water chemistry when the levels are off the range.
CAUTION: Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions and the health and hazard warnings.
Total Alkalinity (TA) Adjustment
Remove the spa cover to aerate the water and use the included test strips to check the chemistry level.
Ensure the chlorine level in the water is between 2-4 ppm first, as chlorine will affect the TA test result.
If the TA level (and not the pH) is higher than 120 ppm, add the appropriate chemical product to lower the TA level.
If the TA level is lower than 60 ppm, add the appropriate chemical product to raise the TA level.
NOTE: After adjustment, retest the water after 24 hours and adjust again if necessary.
pH Adjustment
After the total alkalinity has been lowered to 120 ppm or raised to 80 ppm and the pH is still high or low, add the appropriate chemical product to adjust the pH level between 6.8  and 7.6.
Calcium Hardness Adjustment 
Use the included test strips to check the water hardness level and adjust it with the appropriate chemical product.
WARNING
Handle all chemicals with care and wear extra personnel protective equipment including goggles and gloves. It is very important not to splash acid onto your skin or clothing, or into your eyes.

MAINTENANCE

Spa Tub Drainage

1. Turn off the spa control unit.
2. Connect the drain valve adaptor to a garden hose and point the other end of the garden hose to a suitable draining area (see drawing 14).
3. Remove the drain valve cap from outside of the spa tub and attach the drain valve adaptor to the drain valve (see drawing 14).
4. From inside of the spa tub, open the drain valve cap, water will start flowing out from the garden hose.
5. When the water stops draining, disconnect the spa control unit from the spa tub wall. Lift the spa tub wall from the side opposite the drain, leading any remaining water to the drain and emptying the spa completely (see drawing 15).
6. Attached is the inflation hose (7) to the air blower inflation outlet on the control unit.
7. Turn on the spa and press the button, aim the inflation hose at the inlet/outlets on the spa tub and spa control unit to dry out any water in the piping system (see drawings  16 & 17).
8. Use a clean towel to wipe up any remaining water and moisture on the spa tub and spa control unit.
9. Ensure the spa tub and spa control unit are thoroughly dried.

NOTE: The enclosed plugs (15) can be used to cover the water inlet and outlet connectors from the inside of the spa tub to prevent water from flowing out.
Spa Tub Cleaning
If dirt is visible in the water or water becomes cloudy and proper water chemistry does not clear it up, change the water and clean the spa tub. See “Spa Tub Drainage” section on how to drain the spa. While empty, remove the cartridge housing from inside of the spa tub wall, clean and/or replace the filter cartridge. Use a sponge and mild soap solution to wipe away any soil or stains on the inside of the spa wall. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with clean water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use steel wool, hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.
Biofilm Removal
See your local spa professional for biofilm removal products and advice.
Spa Tub Air Valve Fastening
Check the spa tub air valve for leakage and tightness before use. If air is leaking from the air valve, use the provided wrench (22) to tighten the air valve as follow:

1. Make sure the spa tub is deflated, open the air valve cap, and insert the wrench (22) into the air valve body (see drawing 18).
2. With one hand, hold the backside of the air valve base from the inside of the spa tub wall and turn the wrench (22) clockwise. 

IMPORTANT: Never adjust the air valve base when the spa is in use or filled with water. Only use the air valve wrench if the air valve is loose or there is leakage around the air valve base. Do not overtighten the air valve: over-tightening can damage the valve. Just ensure the air valve is snug and not leaking.
Spa Cover
Inspect the spa cover regularly for leaks, premature wear and tear, damage, or signs of deterioration. Never use a worn or damaged cover: it will not provide the level of protection required to prevent unsupervised access to the spa by a child.
Clean the cover inside and outside periodically using a sponge and a suitable solution that includes adequate disinfection (10 mg per liter of free chlorine). Do not use steel wool,  hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

Spa Surround
Barefoot areas and relaxing areas around the spa shall be cleaned on a regular basis. No cleaning water may flow into the spa or spa water cycle. The dirt and cleaning agents shall be rinsed carefully to drain in the spa surround.
Spa Tub and Cover Air Bladder Repair
Use the enclosed repair patch to repair any puncture:

• Clean and dry the area to be repaired thoroughly.
• Remove the patch backing paper and press the patch firmly over the puncture. Smooth out the surface to remove any air bubbles under the patch.

STORAGE

In regions subject to freezing temperatures, drain, clean, disassemble and properly store the spa set and related components indoors when the temperature drops below 4°C  (39°F).

1. Drain and clean the spa following the “Spa Tub Drainage” and “Spa Tub Cleaning” sections.
2. Reverse set up instructions to deflate and disassemble the spa tub, spa control unit, and spa cover air bladder.

K2

Explorer K2

Recommended seating arrangement of the occupants.

NOTE
Drawings for illustration purpose only. Actual product may vary. Not to scale.

Inflating Instructions

Before starting, locate a clean area free of stones or other sharp objects. Unroll the kayak so it is laid out flat, and locate your pump. Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the boat. Do not use high-pressure air compressors. Adults should inflate the chambers following the numerical sequence marked on the valves. It is very important to follow the numerical sequence; failure to do so will result in an improperly inflated boat. Fill each chamber until it is stiff to the touch but NOT hard. Use the enclosed ruler to check the main chamber for proper inflation. DO NOT OVER INFLATE. Fill with cold air only.

IMPORTANT
Air temperature and weather condition do affect the internal air pressure of inflatable products. In cold weather the product will lose some pressure due to the fact that the air will contract. If this occurs, you may want to add a little air to the product. However, in
hot weather, the air will expand. You must let some air out to prevent the product from failing due to overpressure.

How to Use Boston Valve

1. Double valve cap (valve lets air in, not out).
2. Quick deflation cap.
3. Unscrew Double valve cap.
4. Insert output end of air pump into valve and fill. Do not over inflate or use high pressure compressor.
5. To deflate: unscrew quick-deflation cap.

CAUTION
Double valve does not operate when this cap is off. Do not unscrew this cap while boat or inflatable is in water.

Seat Installation Certain Models

1. Inflate each seat cushion slowly to about 75% of its capacity.
2. Finish inflating the seat cushions slowly until it is firm to the touch but NOT hard. DO NOT OVER INFLATE.
3. To disassemble the seats, deflate the seats first and reverse the installation procedures.
4. Some seat cushions after inflation are tuck in directly into the fore, mid or aft locations of the kayak cockpit.

Grab Line Installation Certain Models

IMPORTANT
To properly install the inflatable boat’s grab line and/or accessory lines, first inflate the boat. If is necessary, begin the grab line installation at the rear of the boat by threading it through the rope holders completely around the outside of the boat. Tie the two loose ends in a square knot at the rear end of the boat. For Explorer kayak series, make sure the grab line is threaded  through the rope holders completely on the outside of the boat, even after the rear or front cover is removed. The grab line shall be attached to the boat at all time.

Paddle Assembly

1. Press and align the push-bottom on the short shaft with the paddle blade hole, ensure the push bottom is securely snapped onto the paddle blade hole.
2. Join the 3 shafts together with the couplers and securely tighten the coupler covers.
3. To disassemble, reverse the assembly steps.
4. Note is not necessary to detach the paddle blades from the shafts.

Safety and Operating Instructions

• Take a boating safety course and get hands-on training from your boat dealer or local boating authorities.
• Know all local regulations and hazards related to water activities and boat operation.
• Check weather forecast, local currents, tides and wind conditions.
• Advise someone on land of the time you plan to be back at your starting point.
• Explain basic boat operation to all passengers.
• Children and non-swimmers need special instructions in the use of life jacket or personal floatation devices (PFD).
• Be sure that one of your passengers can operate the boat in case of emergency.
• Learn how to determine the distance you can cover, and remember that bad weather conditions can alter this.
• Review all safety requirements regularly.

Check the working condition of the boat and equipments

• Check inflation pressure.
• Inspect the valves caps.
• Check the load is evenly distributed, fore front to aft back and side to side.
• Make sure that all required safety equipment is on board (check the laws and regulations of the country or locality in which you are boating to see if additional equipment may be needed.
• One personal flotation device PFD per person.
• Air pump, oars, repair kit and tool kit.
• Any other mandatory equipment.
• The boat papers and your boating license if applicable.

Rules to Observe During Navigation

• Be responsible, do not neglect the safety rules, this could jeopardize your life and the lives of others.
• Always keep control of your boat.
• Respect local regulations and practices.
• Near the shore, navigate in the designated boating area.
• Remember that weather conditions can rapidly deteriorate. Always be sure that you can reach a shelter rapidly.
• Everyone on board must always wear a personal flotation device PFD.
• Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while operating your boat. Maintain passenger sobriety.
• Do not exceed the authorized number of persons or weight.
• Make sure your passengers remain seated at all times.
• At planning speeds, in rough water or during sharp turns, all passengers should position themselves in seats or on the floor.
• No bow riding. Bow riding is illegal in most areas and is extremely dangerous.
• In case of falling, the man overboard is in the way of the propeller.
• Be especially careful when docking.
• Arms and legs may be injured if they are outside the boat.
• Keep clear of swimmers and divers. Always avoid areas where divers/swimmers are in the water.
• Keep a sharp lookout especially when operating near beaches and launch sites.
• The Alpha flag indicates proximity of divers.
• You MUST maintain a safe distance as required by your local boating laws, which may range from 50 meters 164 feet to 91 meters 300 feet.
• Avoid sharp turns at high speeds.
• You could get ejected from the boat.
• Do not make changes in direction without advising passengers.
• Avoid all contact between the buoyancy tubes and sharp objects or aggressive liquids such as acid.
• Do not smoke on board.

Care and Maintenance

The kayak is made of the highest quality materials and complies with ISO 6185 standards. Altering the construction of the kayak will endanger your own safety, safety of the occupants and void the limited warranty. There is very little that you have to do to keep your kayak in good condition for many years. Do not store your kayak inflated. If you store it in a closet, basement or garage, we suggest you pick a cool, dry place, making sure the kayak is clean and dry before you store it – or mold can accumulate. Use as few cleaning agents as possible, do not discharge waste agents into water, and clean your kayak preferably on land. Clean your kayak after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure. Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Make sure the kayak is completely dry before storing. Store the product an accessories in a dry temperature
controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit 0 degrees Celsius and 104 degrees Fahrenheit 40 degrees Celsius storage location.

Disassembly and Storage

First clean your kayak thoroughly following the Care and Maintenance instructions.

• Open all air valves, deflate kayak completely and remove all the accessories from the kayak.
• Flip the kayak over. Fold the left side of the kayak over and then fold the right side over the left.
• Fold the bow end twice to the middle of the kayak tightly while forcing out any remaining air repeat this procedure for the stern.
• Replace all air valves’ caps. With two opposing folded sides, fold one end over the other like closing a book. Your kayak is ready for storage. Fold
  the kayak loosely and avoid sharp bends, corners and creases which can damage the kayak.

Troubleshooting

If your kayak appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. If the kayak was inflated late in the day with 32 °C 90 °F air, that air might cool down to 25 °C 77 °F overnight. The cooler air exerts less pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the next morning. If there has been no temperature variation, you need to start looking for a leak.Take a good look at your kayak from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check over the outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible. If you have an idea where your leak is, use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray bottle, and spray over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the location of the leak. Check valves for leak, if necessary, spray soapy water around the valve and the valve base.

Repairs

Through constant use you may occasionally puncture your kayak. Most leaks only take a few minutes to repair. Your kayak comes with a repair patch, and additional repair supplies can be ordered from Intex Consumer Service or from our website. First locate the leak soapy water will bubble out from the source of the leak. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime. Cut a piece of repair patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately 1.5 cm (1/2). Round off the edges, and place the patch on the damaged area and PRESS DOWN FIRMLY. You may want to use a weight on top to keep it in place. Do not inflate in 30 minutes after patching. If the patch does not hold, you can purchase a PVC or silicon based glue for repairing camping mats, tents or shoes from your local market to patch your boat, please refer to the instruction of the glue for patching.

SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED PRODUCT

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing of a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified  service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to those parts in the product. A double-insulated product is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED” and with the symbol.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

General

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plugin anyway.
  Maintenance instructions:
• No air pump maintenance is required. The air pump has no user-serviceable parts.
• For cleaning use only a mild soapy solution. Do not use any chemicals.
• In case of repairs, use only common PVC repair glue and patches.

INFLATION

1.  Move the product to the power source location. Open line cord compartment cover. See Fig (1).
2. Plugin the AC line cord into an AC electrical outlet. See Fig (2).
   
3. Turn the control dial clockwise until the arrow points to the inflation mark. See Fig (3).
4. Press “I” to switch ON. See Fig (4).
5. When the airbed is fully inflated to the desired firmness, press “O” to switch OFF. See Fig (5).
   
6. Lie down on the airbed to test the firmness.
7. If the sleeping surface is too hard, adjust the firmness by turning the control dial counterclockwise gradually until air starts to exit through the air passage. See Fig (6).
   Turn the control dial fully clockwise when the desired firmness is achieved. See Fig (7). If the airbed becomes too soft repeat steps #3 thru #7 as necessary.
   
8. Disconnect the AC line cord from the wall socket, place it inside the cord compartment and close the cover. Make sure the power cords are free of twists, kinks, and knots.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Proper inflation of the airbed.
The ambient temperatures of the air have an effect on the airbed internal pressure. At low ambient temperature, the air will contract within the airbed and the airbed will feel softer:  add air as necessary. At high ambient temperature, the air within the airbed will expand significantly and the airbed will become hard and may burst: release air to avoid damage to the airbed or to soften the feel. Do not expose the airbed to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
Stretching is a natural characteristic of new vinyl. During initial use, the airbed may become soft and require additional inflation to maintain desired firmness. This is normal for the first few days of use.
The dimensions shown are approximate and will vary due to the vinyl temperature and the air temperature.
In no event shall Intex, their authorized agents, or employees be liable for damages (such as pinholes) to the airbed caused by negligence, ordinary wear, and tear, abuse and carelessness, or external forces.

DEFLATION

1. Open line cord compartment cover. See Fig (1).
2. Plugin the AC line cord into an AC electrical outlet. See Fig (2).
3. Turn the control dial counterclockwise until the arrow points to the deflation mark. See Fig (8).
   
4. Press “I” to switch ON. See Fig (4).
5. When the airbed is completely deflated, begin rolling the airbed from the foot of the airbed towards the head of the airbed where the pump is located. See Fig (9).
6. When all air is removed from the airbed, press “O” to switch OFF. See Fig (5).
7. Turn the control dial fully clockwise. See Fig (10).
8. Disconnect the AC line cord from the wall socket, place it inside the cord compartment and close the cover. Make sure the power cords are free of twists, kinks, and knots.

INFLATION OPTION

1. If electrical power is not available then a conventional foot or manually operated air pump can be connected to the control dial valve for inflation. See Fig (11).
   
2. Turn the control dial clockwise until the arrow points to the inflation mark.

Barriers for Residential Swimming Pool Guidelines:
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or on-ground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier which complies with the following:

1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between the grade and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the horizontal members should be located on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-1/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal members should be no more than 1-3/4 inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 inch within 18 inches of the release mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the following should apply:
   (a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm that produces an audible warning when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet the requirements of UL 2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds, such as smoke alarms, telephones, and doorbells. The alarm should automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such deactivation should last for no more than 15 seconds. The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above the threshold of the door.
   (b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover that complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
   (c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above.
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.

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). 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 lawnmowers, 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 4 feet of space all around the pool from objects that a child could climb on to gain access to the pool.
5. The grass under the pool will be damaged. Splash out chlorinated pool water could damage the surrounding vegetation.
6. Above ground storable pools shall be located at a minimum distance of 6 ft (1.83 meters) from any receptacle, and all 125-volt 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located within  20 ft (6.0 meters) 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 another effective permanent barrier.
7. 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 manufacturing defect and is not covered under warranty.
8. The area shall facilitate drainage of the pool water after each use and/or for long-term pool storage.

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.  The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs shall be placed above the waterline.

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. Liner preparation
• Find a flat, level location that is free and clear of stones, branches or other sharp objects that may puncture the pool liner or cause injury.
• Open the carton containing the liner, joints, legs, etc., very carefully as this carton can be used to store the pool during the winter months or when not in use.
• Take out the ground cloth (7) (optional) and spread it over the cleared area. Then take out the liner (5) and spread it out over the ground cloth, with the drain valve directed towards the draining area. Place the drain valve away from the house. Allow the sun to warm up the liner before inserting the beams (4) into the sleeve openings.  IMPORTANT: Always set up the pool unit with at least  2 persons. Do not drag the liner across the ground as this can cause liner damage and pool leakage (see drawing 1).
• During the setup of this pool liner, point the hose connections or openings in the direction of the electric power source. The outer edge of the pool should be within reach of the pump’s electrical connection.
2. Horizontal beams assembly
• The frame pool’s legs (2) and beams (4) fall into two groups. The larger diameters are the horizontal beams that are slid (pushed) into the sleeve openings at the top of the liner. The smaller diameters are the vertical legs. Both these legs and beams fit into the T-joints (1).
NOTE: Sprinkle some talcum powder over the horizontal beams before sliding them into the pool liner sleeve. This will make the removal of the beams from the liner easier during the disassembly of the pool.

• Starting at any location, but always working in the same direction, push the horizontal beam into the sleeve. Once the beam is centered take one of the T-joints and attach the joint to one end of the beam. Push the beam firmly into the T-joint. Repeat this procedure in a circular fashion until all the beams and joints have been connected (see drawings  2.1 & 2.2).

NOTE: It’s important to start from one location and work in the same direction until the last attachment. Do not start from multiple locations as this will make the connections difficult for the last few beams and joints.

The last joint connection may be difficult to complete. You can do it though if you first simultaneously raise the last joint and beam about 2 inches (5 cm). Now insert the beam into the joint while lowering the pieces into position. The beam will easily slide into the joint (see drawing 2.3).
Ensure that the last joint is fully connected before proceeding to connect the legs.

3. Vertical legs assembly
• Attach the leg’s end cap (3) to the bottom of each leg (2) first. With the beams and T-joints assembly resting on the ground, slide one vertical leg into the belt loop located in the middle of the pool liner and insert the top of the leg into the bottom of the T-joint (1) (see drawing 3.1). Continue the process with all the vertical legs.

• Lift the beams assembly and make sure all the legs are in a vertical position (see drawing 3.2). Push all the T-joints downward to ensure they are firmly connected to the legs.

• Pull gently, in an outward direction, the bottom of the leg making sure the leg is vertical and perpendicular to the level ground.

4. Filling of the pool

• The following applies to pool liners with hose connectors (16’ (488 cm) & below pools). If the pool was purchased without a filter pump, insert the strainer hole plugs (8) into the black filter pump outlets. Do this from the inside of the pool so that water will not run out when filling it. If the pool was purchased with a filter pump, read the Krystal Clear™ Filter Pump Manual first and then proceed to the next installation step.
• Before filling the pool with water, ensure that the drain plug inside the pool is closed and that the drain cap on the outside is screwed on tightly. Fill the pool with no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Check to see whether the water is level.
  IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool flows to one side, the pool is not completely level. Setting up the pool on the unlevel ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in the sidewall material bulging and a potential collapse of the pool. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area or move the pool to a different area that is level, and re-fill the pool, following the above directions.
• Smooth out the bottom liner wrinkles (from inside the pool) by pushing out where the pool floor and poolsides meet. Or, (from the outside pool) reach under the side of the pool, grasp the pool floor and pull in an outward direction. If the ground cloth is causing the wrinkles, have 2 people pull from opposite sides to remove all wrinkles. Use the properly assembled pool ladder when entering or exiting the pool during this process. Also, make sure all the legs are vertical and perpendicular to the ground.
• Fill the pool with water up to just below the sleeve line (see drawing 4).
  

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

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 dangers.

Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool. Give this person a “water watcher” tag and ask that they wear it the entire time they are in charge of supervising children in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask this person to pass the “water watcher” tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult.

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 judgment when enjoying any water activity.
• Supervise, supervise, supervise.

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 another serious injury.

Water maintenance
The maintenance of a proper water balance through the 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 water 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

WARNING

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.
To purchase an Intex Filter Pump or other accessories see your local retailer, visit our website or call the Intex Consumer Services Department listed in the separate “Authorized  Service Centers” sheet and have your Visa or Mastercard ready.
EXCESSIVE RAIN: To avoid damage to the pool and overfilling, immediately drain rainwater that causes the water level to be higher than the maximum.
How to Drain  Your Pool and Long Term Storage

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 (9).
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 the drain plug-in drain valve on the inside of the pool for storage.
10. Replace the drain cap on the outside of the pool.
11. Reverse set-up instructions to disassemble the pool, 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 5). Sprinkle some talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.
13. Create a square shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner in on itself twice. Do the same on the opposite side (see drawings 6.1 & 6.2).
14. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book (see drawings 7.1 & 7.2).
15. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 8).
16. Fold one over the other like closing a book and finally compact the liner (see drawing 9).
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 it 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 them in a safe and dry area, preferably between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit
(40 degrees Celsius).

WARNING
· Continuous and competent adult supervision of children and the disabled is required at all times. · 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. · Pool and pool accessories are to be assembled and disassembled by adults only. · Never dive, jump or slide into an above-ground pool or any shallow body of water. · Failure to set up pool on flat, level, compact ground or over filling could result in the pool’s collapse and the
possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out/ejected. · Do not lean, straddle, or exert pressure on the inflatable ring or top rim as injury or flooding could occur. Do
not allow anyone to sit on, climb, or straddle the sides of the pool. · Remove all toys and flotation devices from, in, and around the pool when it is not in use. Objects in the pool
attract young children. · Keep toys, chairs, tables, or any objects that a child could climb on at least four feet (1.22 meters) away
from the pool. · Keep rescue equipment by the pool and clearly post emergency numbers at the phone closest to the pool.
Examples of rescue equipment: coast guard approved ring buoy with attached rope, strong rigid pole not less than twelve feet (12′) [3.66m] long. · Never swim alone or allow others to swim alone. · Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside barrier of the pool. · If swimming at night use properly installed artificial lighting to illuminate all safety signs, ladders, pool floor and walkways. · Stay away from the pool when using alcohol or drugs/medication. · Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious injury. · Pool covers must be completely removed before pool use. Children and adults cannot be seen under a pool cover. · Do not cover the pool while you or anyone else is in the pool. · Keep the pool and pool area clean and clear to avoid slips and falls and objects that may cause injury. · Protect all pool occupants from recreational water illnesses by keeping the pool water sanitized. Don’t swallow the pool water. Practice good hygiene. · All pools are subject to wear and deterioration. Certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead to an operation failure, and can ultimately cause the loss of large quantities of water from your pool. Therefore, it is very important that you properly maintain your pool on a regular basis. · This pool is for outdoor use only. · Empty pool completely when not in use for a longer period and safely store the empty pool in such a way that it does not collect water from rain or any other source. See storage instructions. · All electrical components shall be installed in accordance with Article 680 of the National Electrical Code 1999 (NEC®) “Swimming Pools, Fountains and Similar Installations” or its latest approved edition.

SHALLOW WATER

AND SUCTIONS FITTINGS

Supervise, Supervise, Supervise
· Children, especially children under five years, are at high risk of drowning. · Remove or secure ladder when not in use. · Closely watch children who are in or near this pool. · Diving or jumping may result in broken neck, paralysis, permanent injury or death. · If drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, your hair, body and jewelry can get sucked into
drain. You could be held underwater and drown! Do not use the pool if drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken. · Empty pool or prevent access when not in use. Store the empty pool in such a way that it does not collect water from rain or any other source.
Prevent Young Children From Drowning: · Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or approved barrier around all
sides of pool. State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool. Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines
as described in CPSC Publication No. 362. “Safety Barrier Guideline for Home Pools” found at www.poolsafely.gov.
· Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to supervise pool and wear provided water watcher tag.
· Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool. Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and draining of the pool. Maintain constant supervision of children and do not remove any safety barriers until the pool is completely empty and stowed away.
· When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if you think your child is in the house. Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool: · Toddlers can climb ladder and get into pool. Before leaving pool area, remove ladder or other means of
access, and safely store away from pool.
· When leaving the pool, remove floats and toys from the pool that might attract a child. · Position furniture (for example, tables, chairs) away from pool so that children cannot climb on it to gain
access to the pool.
· If a filter pump is included with the pool, locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on them and gain access to the pool.
Electrocution Risk: · Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers and other electrical appliances away from the pool. · Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines. Suction Risk: · If a filter pump is included with the pool, replacement pump shall never exceed the maximum flow rate
marked on the suction fitting. Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency: · Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers near the pool. · Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can respond to an emergency. In the event
of an emergency, immediate use of CPR can make a life-saving difference.

Barriers for Residential Swimming Pool Guidelines: An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier which complies with the following: 1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches. 2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere. 3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints. 4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the horizontal members should be located on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. 5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. 6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-1/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches. 7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal members should be no more than 1-3/4 inches. 8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 inch within 18 inches of the release mechanism. 9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the following should apply: (a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm which
produces an audible warning when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet the requirements of UL 2017 General- Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds, such as smoke alarms, telephones, and door bells. The alarm should automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such deactivation should last for no more than 15 seconds. The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above the threshold of the door. (b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below. (c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above. 10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere. Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.

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). 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 4 feet 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. Above ground storable pools shall be located at a minimum distance of 6 ft (1.83 meters) from any
receptacle, and all 125-volt 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located within 20 ft (6.0 meters) 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. 7. 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. 8. 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 ClearTM 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 10~30 minutes. (Note the assembly time is only approximate and individual assembly experience may vary.)
1. Liner preparation · Find a flat, level location that is free and clear of stones, branches or other sharp objects that may
puncture the pool liner or cause injury.

· Open the carton containing the liner, etc., very carefully as this carton can be used to store the pool during the winter months or when not in use.

· Take out the ground cloth (3) and spread it over the cleared area.

FILL LINE

1

Then take out the liner (1) and spread it out over the ground cloth,

with the drain valve directed towards the draining area. Place the

drain valve away from the house.

WATER

IMPORTANT: Always set up the pool unit with at least

LEVEL

2 persons. Do not drag the liner across the ground as this

can cause liner damage and pool leakage (see drawing 2).

Level

· During the setup of the pool liner, point the hose connections or

openings in the direction of the electrical power source. The

2

outer edge of the pool should be within reach of the pump’s

electrical connection.

· Lay out the pool. Spread out the plain blue sides and make the pool floor as smooth as possible (see drawing 2).

2. Ring inflation · Flip the top ring out and check that it is fully outside of the wall

3

lining and facing up. Inflate the ring with a manual air pump (see

drawing 3). Keep the top ring centered in the middle of the pool,

while doing this.

IMPORTANT: Prevent bursting by not using a high-pressure

pump, such as an air compressor. Do not over inflate.

Preferably 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 internal pressure of the top ring. To maintain a correct internal pressure, it is best to leave some room for expansion as the sun heats the air inside the ring. During very hot weather, you must check to see whether it is necessary to release some air. This is to avoid any possible damage to the ring.
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.
3. Hose connectors · The following applies to pool liners with hose connectors (16″ (488 cm) & below pools). If the pool was
purchased without a filter pump, insert two black plugs (2) into the black filter pump outlets. Do this from the inside of the pool so that water will not run out when filling it. · If the pool was purchased with a filter pump, read the Krystal ClearTM Filter Pump Manual first and then proceed to next installation step.

POOL SETUP (continued)

4. Filling of the pool · Before filling the pool with water, ensure that the drain plug inside the pool is closed and that the drain cap
on the outside is screwed on tightly. Fill the pool with no more than 1 inch of water. Check to see whether
the water is level.
IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool flows to one side, the pool is not completely level. Setting up the pool on unleveled ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in the sidewall material to bulge and a potential collapse of the pool. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area and re-fill the pool.

· Smooth out the bottom liner wrinkles (from inside the pool) by

4

pushing out where the pool floor and pool sides meet. Or, (from

outside the pool) reach under the side of the pool , grasp the pool

floor and pull in an outward direction. If the ground cloth is causing

the trouble, have 2 adults pull from opposite sides to remove all

wrinkles (see drawing 4).

· Now fill the pool with water. The pool liner walls will rise while you

5

are filling it (see drawing 5).

· Fill the pool with water up to the bottom of the inflated ring which is

6

the recommended fill line level (see drawings 1 and 6).

For the 42″ (107cm) wall height pools: fill the water just below the

fill line printed on the inside of the inflated ring (see drawing 7).

WATER LEVEL

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. The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs shall be placed above the water line.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

English 86PO

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 dangers.
Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool. Give this person a “water watcher” tag and ask that they wear it the entire time they are in charge of supervising children in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask this person to pass the “water watcher” tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult.
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.
For additional information on safety, please visit · The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals: The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your
Aboveground/Onground Swimming Pool www.nspi.org · American Academy of Pediatrics: Pool Safety for Children www.aap.org · Red Cross www.redcross.org · Safe Kids www.safekids.org · Home Safety Council: Safety Guide www.homesafetycouncil.org · Toy Industry Association: Toy Safety www.toy-tia.org
SAFETY IN YOUR POOL
Safe swimming depends on constant attention to the rules. You may also wish to copy and laminate the sign for protection from the elements. You can also download and print additional copies of the warning sign and water watcher tags at www.intexcorp.com.

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.
· Cleaning of the top ring To keep the top ring clean and free of stains, wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use. Also cover the pool with a pool cover when not in use. If you have dark stains on the top ring surface, wipe it with a soft cloth using a solution of mild laundry detergent and water. Gently rub the stain and be careful not to let the stain debris fall into the water. Do not use strong detergents, abrasive material or brushes.
· 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 ClearTM Intex Filter Pump with all of our above-ground-pools. To purchase an Intex Filter Pump or other accessories see your local retailer, visit our website or call the Intex Consumer Services Department listed in the separate “Authorized Service Centers” sheet and have your Visa or Mastercard ready.

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
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 (4). 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 (4) 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. 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 a square 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

English 86PO

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 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
