POOL MAINTENANCE & DRAINAGE

Do not add chemicals while the pool is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation. Concentrated chlorine solutions can damage the pool liner. In no event is

Polygroup

, our buyer/retailers, or any other party liable 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 Polygroup

Filter Pump with all of our aboveground pools. To purchase a Polygroup

Filter

Pump or other accessories, visit our website at support.polygroupstore.com or call Polygroup

EXCESSIVE RAIN: To avoid damage to the pool and overfilling, immediately drain rain water that causes the water level to be higher than the FILL LINE.

How to Drain Your Pool and Long-Term Storage

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

2. Remove the protective foam ring on the drainage cap.

3. Follow these steps for water drainage:

a) Turn the drain cap

counterclockwise

b) Return the drain

cap from the valve

Repair

1. Use a mix of liquid dish soap and water in a spray bottle, and spray over suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the location of the leak.

2. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.

3. Cut a piece of repair patch (included) with a margin of 0.8” (2cm) larger than the damaged area, rounding the corners with scissors.

4. Place the patch over the center of the leak, press down firmly, and squeeze out all air bubbles to the edges. You may want to put a weight on top to keep it in place.

5. Do not inflate for one hour after patching.

NOTE: if the patch does not hold, you can use the patch with silicone- or polyurethane-based glue designed for repairing camping mats, tents or shoes. Consult your

local household/camping supply stores, and follow the instructions of the glue you’ve chosen.

4. Place the other end of the garden hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the house and other nearby structures.

5. When the water stops draining, start lifting the pool from the side opposite to the drain valve to drain any remaining water and empty the pool completely.

6. After drainage, lock the drain valve and close the drain cap.

NOTE: NEVER step on the drain valve.

7. Deflate the top ring completely and remove all connecting parts (if there are any).

8. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air-dry the liner in the sun completely before folding (see drawing 1). Sprinkle some

talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.

9. 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 2 & 3).

10. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book (see drawings 4 & 5).

11. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 6).

12. Fold one over the other like closing a book, and finally compact the liner (see drawing 7).

13. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled storage location above 32°F (0°C) and below 104°F (40°C).

14. The original packing can be used for storage.

a) Flip the drain cap

and reinsert it to

the drain valve

c) Close the drain cap

b) Push and turn the drain

cap counterclockwise

for about a quarter

turn (90

) to lock

Inflating Instructions

CAUTION: Inflate by adult only. DO NOT overinflate, use high pressure air compressor to inflate, or exceed the recommended Design Working Pressure. Inflate

with cold air only.

1. Locate a clean area free of stones or other sharp objects to inflate the pool.

2. Inflate the air chambers following the numbered sequence (if any) slowly with a manual/foot air pump.

The adequate air pressure: make sure the pool is firm to the touch but NOT hard – there should be small folds around the armrests, backrests and/or side

edges, and below the cup holders (if any). Also compare the pressure with that of the large main chamber.

3. Close and press the inflation valves into the unit to get a flat surface.

4. Check regularly to ensure the adequate air pressure during each use, especially on very hot or cold days.

FILL THE POOL WITH 1 INCH OF WATER. THEN, SMOOTH OUT THE WRINKLES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL BY BRUSHING OUTWARDS

FROM THE INSIDE OF THE POOL SO IT FILLS UP EVENLY. MAKE SURE THAT THE BASE OF THE POOL IS COMPLETELY FLAT AND LEVELED.

NOT FOLLOWING THIS STEP WILL MAKE THE POOL FILL UNEVENLY AND MAY LOOK MISSHAPEN. IF THE POOL IS UNEVEN, YOU MAY NEED TO

RESTART THE SETUP (FIGURE 2-3).

5. Pull all the outer walls up straight and make sure they are not under the pool floor. Also make sure to pull up the top ring, all around the pool, so that it fills evenly.

NOTE: IF MORE THAN 1-2 INCHES OF WATER COLLECTS ON ANY ONE SIDE BEFORE THE POOL STARTS FILLING IN THE CENTER, THE POOL IS

NOT LEVEL ENOUGH, AND MUST BE CORRECTED. SEE “SITE PREPARATION” ABOVE.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENT IMPOSSIBLE AFTER THIS POINT.

6. Now, as you continue filling, the inflated ring will rise as the water deepens. Once this is done, if your pool included a filter/pump system please refer back to

the “Swimming Pool Filter System” owner’s manual and follow all instructions for the installation of the filter pump.

Setup Instructions

1. Carefully unfold the Quick Set

pool and inspect the seams for manufacturing defects. With the inflatable ring on the top side, and safety writing on the outside lay

out the pool in the area selected, making sure the bottom of the pool is both flat and round.

2. If your pool included openings or you are going to purchase a filter pump system, position the Suction & Return fitting locations so they are 10 to 21 feet from the

electrical outlet you plan to use for the pool pump.

3. If your pool came with fittings, install both the Suction and Return fittings to the pool wall before filling the pool.

Please Note: The Black Rubber gasket (Gasket) should always be slid over the threaded plastic suction or return fitting and be on the inside before the fitting is

placed through the pool wall to make a watertight connection.

Make sure to put on both the Water Cap and the Service Plug while you fill your pool, or until you are ready to add a filtration system.
