any electrical receptacle.
All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 20 ft. (6.0 m)
of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). The 20 ft. (6 m) distance is measured via the shortest straight
line distance the supply cord would follow without piercing a floor, wall,
ceiling, doorway, window, or other permanent barrier.
Prior to use of the pool, the installer shall affix all no diving signs and
safety signs in accordance with installation instructions so they can be
easily visible.
A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential drowning
and near
drowning. Barriers are not a substitute for the constant
supervision of children.
A list of emergency telephone numbers shall be posted, such as the
nearest available police, fire, ambulance, and/or rescue unit. These
numbers are to be kept near the telephone that is closest to the pool.
Toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb
shall be at least 4 feet (1219 mm) from the pool.
If deck is used by the installer, it will need to comply with APSP-8.
Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following, shall be on
hand at all times: a. A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd’s crook) not
less than 12 ft. (3.66 m) long. b. A minimum ¼ in. (6 mm) diameter
rope as long as 1½ times the maximum width of the pool or 50 feet
(15.24 m), whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a
Coast Guard-approved ring buoy, or similarly approved flotation
devices.
The swimming pool cover is not designated as a safety barrier.
Please use artificial lighting during nighttime pool use, to illuminate all
safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces and walks.
The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained
properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can
lead to failure of the pool structure that
might release large quantities of
water that could cause bodily harm and property damage.
The bottom of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside
perimeter of the pool.
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.
If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
The ladder shall be located on a solid base and the ladder shall be
installed per the ladder’s instructions.
Publications are available that describe the risk of drowning,
entrapment, and diving accidents. Available publications related to pool
safety include the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals’ (APSP)
booklets entitled: The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your

NOTE: If your purchased pool set do not have any circulation
system, you can purchase separately. But please make sure the
equipment can turn over total volume of pool water no less than once
every 12 hr. You can check the water capacity on packaging to select
suitable circulation system. Pump provided for the circulation of water
shall be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and
certified to conform to UL1081.
Also make sure the selected suction outlet sold with the pump should
be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and certified
to conform to ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 or its successor standard ANSI/
APSP-16, in order to prevent suction entrapment.
Please read carefully and keep for future
reference.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the following
technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the pool and the
pool users, it is extremely important that the surface chosen to install
the pool is capable of uniformly supporting the total weight for the
entire time the pool is installed. When choosing the surface, take
into consideration that water may come out of the pool when in use
or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may lose its
capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the U-supports.
They must be on the same level as the bottom of the pool at all
times. If the vertical leg or the U-support starts to sink into the
ground, drain the water immediately to avoid the pool collapsing due
to the uneven loading on the frame structure. Change the location of
the pool or modify the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects children
could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with
overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is inclined or
uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on the structure of the
pool. This situation can damage the welding point of the liner and
bend the frame. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse, causing
serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Due to the
weight of the water, any object under the pool could damage or
perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed
species. Those types of strong vegetation could grow through the
liner and create water leakage. The grass or other vegetation that
may cause odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated from the
set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines or trees.
Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines
or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do not
position any equipment or other furniture around the pool. The water
that comes out of the pool during the use or due to a faulty product
can damage the furniture inside the house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner. Follow the important instructions
above to choose the correct surface and location to set up your pool.
Damaged parts of the pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface
and location does not match the instructions, will not be considered
as manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other
surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway,
platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not meet the above
set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to
fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you
comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for
instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should be used
only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to exceed the
permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if the ladder is
properly assembled.
