• ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• WARNING! REFER TO AND FULLY COMPLY WITH THE ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ENCLOSED FILTER PUMP MANUAL.
• WARNING! The pool must be accessible to a 110 or 230V AC outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
• The pool should be set no closer than 2m to the power source, but no further than the length of the ller pump cord. Under no circumstances
should an extension cord be used to extend the range of the connection.
• GENERAL SAFETY
• WARNING! Carefully read, understand, and follow all information in this user manual before installing and using the swimming pool. These
warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in
all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Please read carefully and keep for future
reference.
• WARNING! The use of a swimming pool implies compliance with the safety instructions described in the operating and maintenance guide. In
order to prevent drowning or other serious injuries, pay particular attention to the possibility of unexpected access to the swimming pool by
children under 5 by securing the access to it, and, during the bathing period, keep them under constant adult supervision.
• Non-swimmers safety
• Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers by a competent adult is required at all times
(remembering that children under five are at the highest risk of drowning).
• Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used.
• Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment when using the pool.
• When the pool is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the swimming pool and its surrounding to avoid attracting children to the pool.
• Safety devices
• In order to prevent children from drowning, it is recommended to secure access to the pool with a protection device. It is recommended to install
a barrier (and secure all doors and windows, where applicable) to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming pool.
• Fences, safety covers, enclosures or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult
supervision.
• Safety equipment
• It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the pool.
• Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers by the pool.

Site Selection
• WARNING: Pools installed on inadequately level surfaces are subject to leaking, forming irregularities, or collapse, which can result in property
damage or serious injury for those in or around the pool area!
• WARNING: Do not use sand during setup process. If it appears that there is a need for use of a “levelling agent”, then your set-up site is likely
unsuitable. FAILURE TO OBEY THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
• CAUTION: Please choose your set-up area carefully, as lawn and other desirable vegetation underneath the ground cloth (if applicable) will die.
Furthermore, try to avoid setting the ground cloth (if applicable) in areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species, as they may grow through
the ground cloth.
• CAUTION: The pool must be accessible to a 110 or 230-volt AC outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The pool should be

• Step8. Replace the outlet plug on the inside of the pool.
• Step9. Be sure that the pool liner is completely dry before folding the pool for long-term storage. Leaving the pool exposed to sunlight for a few
hours will clean and speed the drying process and make it easier to fold the pool for storage. (Never attempt to fold or stow a pool that is not
completely dry as this could lead to a proliferation of mould or mildew build-up during the time the pool is in storage.)
• Step10. Remember, proper off-season storage is critical to protect your investment in your pool (especially in winter). Once drained and dry,
your pool should be carefully folded and wrapped in a ground cloth (if available) or other similar protective tarp-like material. The pool and all
applicable accessories such as the pump, cover, ground cloth, ladder, hoses, clamps, and hardware should be kept together and stored indoors, in
a reasonably warm, dry and weatherproof location.
Maintenance and Storage Of Steps
• Store ladder in a safe and dry place.
• Never store any materials on the ladder.
• Keep ladder clean and free of all foreign materials.
• Do periodic maintenance on screws, when the ladder is not in use, put some anti-rust oil on them.
• DO NOT use ladder in temperatures below -5C.
• Remove pool ladder from swimming pool during the off season (winter months). Disassemble all the components and dry thoroughly. Store in a
dry location out of children’s reach.

Folding Instruction
• Before folding, it’s better to dry all parts of the pool completely by lying them in the sun for one hour or so.(PIC.1). And then, spread some talcum
powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together.
• Step1. Please fold the protrusion sides inside to create a rectangle shape. (PIC.2).
• Step2. Fold each half of the rectangle to create a smaller rectangle shape. (PIC.3).
• Step3. Fold each end backwards. (PIC.4).
• Step4. Fold the ends together to create an ultimate rectangle (PIC.5).

However, to maintain pool water that is perfectly clear, algae free, and safe from harmful bacteria, it is VERY IMPORTANT TO ENGAGE IN A
CONSISTENT REGIMENT OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT. Contact your local pool supply retailer for guidance on the safe and effective use of
chlorine, shock, algaecide and other such chemicals.
• WARNING: To avoid skin and eye irritation or even injury to bathers, never add chemicals to the pool while it is occupied. Never add any chemicals

• This product is designed to be a storable, seasonal pool. If you live in a temperate area in which the pool will not be in use year-round, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you drain your pool, clean and dry it thoroughly, and store it in a protected area for the off-season. This will help
extend the life of your pool and prevent a safety hazard from developing while the pool is not in use. During the season of use of the pool kit, the

• DANGER: NEVER add water to chemicals. INSTEAD, always add chemicals to water. Also, never mix separate chemicals together, rather, add
chemicals to the pool separately and allow them to circulate throughout the pool before adding additional types of chemicals.
• C: We recommend that you purchase a Dellonda test kit (pool Starter Kit: Model no. DL63 and Test Strips: Model no. DL32 test kit) and frequently
test your pool water to make sure that your PH balance and chlorine levels are optimal.
NOTE: Excessive chlorine levels or low (acidic) pH levels can damage your pool liner, so please take corrective action as soon as possible if
testing reveals either condition.

Trouble Shooting
• REPAIR PATCH INSTRUCTIONS
• Small pinhole and small puncture leaks can be repaired with the included repair patch.
• a) Locate the source of the leak.
• b) Clean the area surrounding the leak and wipe up all water from the surface.
• c) Take out the repair patch, cut it into required shape and size, which should be larger than the leaking area, put the patch on the leaking area and
press tightly.
• d) Wait 30 minutes for open-air drying of the repaired position.
• If the damaged area is large, we recommend using a Silicone or rubber based glue for repair.
• GLUE REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
• 1 Locate the source of the leak.
• 2 Drain completely.
• 3 Clean the area surrounding the leak and wipe up all water from the surface.
• 4 Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak .Cut a piece of repair material in a round shape, which should be larger than the damaged area.
• 5 Glue (purchase adhesive separately) one side of the material patch to the repair area.
• Note: The glue needs to be evenly applied to the material patch.
• 6 Put the patch on the damaged area and press tightly. Wait 12 hours for drying. After patch has dried, apply glue around the edges for a
complete seal (dry for 4 hours).
