The FunSicle Truck Bed Pool is an innovative and portable solution designed to transform the bed of a pickup truck into a refreshing aquatic play area. This user-friendly product offers a unique way to enjoy water activities outdoors, providing a convenient and accessible pool experience. The pool is specifically engineered for use with truck beds, emphasizing portability and ease of setup and takedown.
Function Description:
The primary function of the FunSicle Truck Bed Pool is to create a temporary, inflatable pool within the confines of a truck bed. It allows individuals to cool off and relax in a shallow body of water, making it ideal for various outdoor settings where a traditional pool might not be feasible. The design focuses on simplicity, enabling quick inflation, filling, and emptying processes. It’s intended for recreational use, particularly for adults and children under strict supervision, offering a novel way to enjoy water during warm weather. The pool is designed to be stable and secure when properly installed in a stationary truck bed, providing a safe environment for water play.
Usage Features:
- Easy Setup: The FunSicle Truck Bed Pool is designed for straightforward installation. Users begin by lowering the truck's tailgate and clearing any debris from the truck bed. The pool is then unfolded over the truck bed, ensuring the air valves are positioned towards the rear. Inflation is achieved using an air pump, with the bottom bladder inflated first, followed by the top bladder. Once inflated, the bladders are set over the fender wells, and the pool floor is stretched to remove wrinkles. Finally, the tailgate is closed and secured, and the pool is filled with water using a hose. The water level should be maintained between the two air bladders for optimal use.
- Portable Design: The inflatable nature of the pool makes it highly portable. When deflated and folded, it can be easily transported and stored, allowing users to bring the pool experience to various locations, provided a suitable truck is available.
- Quick Emptying: The pool features a design that facilitates efficient water drainage. To empty, users first clear the area around the truck. The tailgate is then carefully and slowly lowered, allowing water to begin pushing out. For faster drainage, both air valves can be quickly unplugged, and pressure can be applied to the inflated wall to accelerate water flow.
- Recreational Use: The pool is intended for casual water play and relaxation. It provides a contained body of water suitable for cooling down, splashing, and light recreation, particularly appealing for family outings, camping trips, or backyard fun where a truck is present.
- Adult Assembly Required: The product is designed to be assembled and disassembled by an adult, ensuring proper setup and adherence to safety guidelines.
- Stationary Use Only: A critical usage feature is that the pool must only be used in a stationary truck. The truck must be on level, firm ground, with the parking brake engaged, to ensure stability and safety during use.
- Supervision is Key: The pool is intended for use under competent adult supervision at all times, especially when children are present, to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment.
- Capacity: The pool is designed to accommodate up to four adults of average size/weight, making it suitable for small groups or families.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The FunSicle Truck Bed Pool should be cleaned with mild soap and lukewarm water only. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and prolong the life of the product.
- Drying and Storage: After each use, it is crucial to ensure the pool is completely dry before storing. This prevents the formation of mildew and extends the product's lifespan. All parts should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled area, with temperatures not falling below 32°F (0°C) or exceeding 125°F (52°C).
- Puncture Repair: The pool comes with a small patch kit for repairing punctures or holes. To locate a leak, a mixture of liquid dish soap and water can be sprayed over suspicious areas; bubbles will indicate the leak's exact location. The area around the leak should be thoroughly cleaned before applying the patch. A piece of the repair patch, larger than the damaged area and with rounded corners, is then placed over the leak and pressed down firmly to remove air bubbles. It is recommended not to inflate the pool for one hour after patching to allow the adhesive to set. If the included patch does not hold, silicone or polyurethane-based glue designed for repairing camping mats, tents, or shoes can be used, following the glue manufacturer's instructions.
- Pre-Installation Checks: Before installation, users are advised to remove all trash, hard, and sharp objects from the truck bed to prevent damage to the pool liner.
- Regular Inspection: Users should regularly inspect the pool for any signs of wear, tear, or damage that could compromise its integrity or safety.
- Water Removal for Storage: When preparing for storage, the pool should be lifted over the tailgate and turned upside down inside the truck bed to ensure all water drains completely and the pool dries thoroughly.
- Safety Barrier Compliance: Users are encouraged to check local laws and codes regarding fencing requirements for pools, even temporary ones, to ensure compliance.
- Preventing Access When Not in Use: To prevent unsupervised access, especially by children, the pool should be completely emptied after each use and stored in a way that prevents it from collecting rainwater or other sources of water. This also includes removing any toys or floats that might attract children.
