IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Read, Understand and Follow All Instructions Carefully Before Installing and Using this Product.
•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.
• While the swimming pool is in use, you will need to operate the filter pump to ensure that there is at least
one complete turnover of water a day. Consult your pump’s manual to calculate the necessary
operating hours.
POOL BARRIERS AND COVERS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES FOR CONTINUOUS AND COMPETENT
ADULT SUPERVISION. POOL DOES NOT COME WITH A LIFEGUARD. ADULTS ARE THEREFORE
REQUIRED TO ACT AS LIFEGUARDS OR WATER WATCHERS AND PROTECT THE LIVES OF ALL
POOL USERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, IN AND AROUND THE POOL.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Advisory:
Pool owners may need to comply with local or state laws relating to childproof fencing, safety barriers, lighting,
and other safety requirements. Customers should contact their local building code enforcement office for
further details.

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) or residual current device (RCD). 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.
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.
4. The pool requires at least 5 - 6 feet (1.5 - 2.0 m) of space all around pool from objects that a child
could climb on to gain access to the pool.
5. The chlorinated poolwater could damage the surrounding vegetation.
6. If the ground is not concrete (i.e., if it is asphalt, lawn or earth) you must place a piece of
pressure-treated wood, size 15” x 15” x 1.2” (38 x 38 x 3cm), under each U-shaped support and flush
with the ground. Alternatively you may use steel pads or reinforced tiles. Consult your local pool supply
retailer for advice on support pads.
7. Consult your local pool supply retailer for advice on support pads.
8. 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.

POOL SETUP (continued)
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 60~90 minutes. (Note the assembly time is only approximate and
individual assembly experience may vary.)
1. • 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.
• Remove the ground cloth (14) from carton. Spread
it out completely with its edges being at least
5 - 6’ (1.5 - 2.0 m) from any obstacle such as walls,
fences, trees, etc. Remove the liner (15) from carton
and spread it out over the ground cloth with the
drain valve towards the draining area. Place the
drain valve away from the house. Open it up to
warm it in the sun. This warming will make
installation easier. Make sure the liner is centered
atop the ground cloth. Be sure to face the end with the 2 hose connectors towards the electrical
power source.
IMPORTANT: Do not drag the liner across the ground as this can cause liner damage and pool
leakage (see drawing 1).
• During the set-up of this pool liner, point the hose connections or openings in the direction of the
electric power source. The outer edge of the assembled pool is to be within reach of the electrical
connection for the optional filter pump.
2. Remove all the parts from the carton(s) and place
them on the ground in the location where they are to
be assembled. Check the parts listing and be sure all
the pieces to be assembled are accounted for (see
drawings 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3).
IMPORTANT: Do not start assembly if any pieces
are missing. For replacement pieces call the
Consumer Service telephone number in your area.
After all pieces are accounted for move the pieces
away from the liner for of installation.

3. Be sure the liner is opened and spread out to its fullest
extent on top of the ground cloth. Starting with one side,
slide the “A” beams first into the sleeve openings located in
each corner. Continue with “B” beam snapping into the “A”
beam, and another “C” beam snapping into the “B” beam
(see drawing 3).
Keep the metal beam holes aligned with the white liner
sleeve holes.
Continue inserting all “A-B-C & D-E-F” beams into the sleeve
openings. Start the "D-E-F" combination for pool's short sides by inserting the "D" beam first into the
opening.
The combinations for beams are different for different sizes of pools, see the chart below for detail. (Be
sure all 4 sides end up with the metal beam holes aligned with the white liner sleeve holes.)
4. Slide the restrainer strap (13) onto the large U-shaped side
support (11). Repeat for all restrainer straps and U-supports.
IMPORTANT: The liner is to remain flat on the ground
during the next step #5. This is why 5 - 6’ of clearance
space around the pool is necessary (see drawing 4).

5. The tops of the U-shaped side supports have a double
button spring loaded clip (10) that is factory pre-installed.
Insert the side supports into the “A-B-C & D-E-F” beam
holes by squeezing the bottom button inward with your
fingers.
Squeezing this bottom button will allow the support to enter
the beam. Once the U-support is inside the beam release
the finger pressure allowing the support to “SNAP” into
place. Repeat this procedure for all U-shaped side supports
(see drawing 5).
6. With one person standing inside the pool, raise one corner;
insert the connecting rod (12) into the overlapping
openings, to connect the liner straps to the restrainer
straps. Repeat the operation in the other corners and then
on the sides (see drawings 6.1 & 6.2).
7. Pull the bottoms of the side supports out away from the
liner to make the straps taut. Repeat for all locations (see
drawing 7).
8. If the ground is not concrete (asphalt, lawn or earth) you
must place a piece of pressure-treated wood, size
15” x 15” x 1.2”, under each leg and flush with the ground.
The U-shaped side supports must be placed in the center
of the pressure-treated wood and with the wood grain
perpendicular to the support leg (see drawing 8).

POOL SETUP (continued)
9. Position the long wall top rails so they are leaning over the
short wall top rails. Installe the corner joints (8) at the 4
corners (see drawing 9).
IMPORTANT: The four corner joints are designed to be
moveable relative to the horizontal beams and not fixed
to the horizontal beams. This allows the pool side walls
to move inward or outward when the pool is in use.
10. Assemble the ladder. The ladder has separate assembly instructions in the ladder box.
11. Place the assembled ladder over one of the sides with one of the liner installation team members
entering the pool to smooth out all bottom liner wrinkles. While inside the pool this team member
should check the 2 drain valves (in corners) to be sure the inside drain plug is inserted into the valve.
This team member should push inside corner in an outward direction.
12. 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 unleveled ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in the sidewall material to
bulge. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area and re-fill the
pool.
Smooth out the remaining wrinkles (from inside the pool) by pushing out where the pool floor and pool
sides meet. Or, (from outside pool) reach under the side of the pool, grasp the pool floor and pull it out.
If the ground cloth is causing the wrinkles, have 2 people pull from either side to remove all wrinkles.
13. Fill the pool with water up to just below the sleeve line. (see
drawing 10).
NOTE: The pool side walls and frame structure will lean
inward after having been filled with water to the
recommended level. Do not be concerned by the inward
leaning of the side walls, this is to accommodate the water
movement and pressure when the pool is in use.

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.

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.

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 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).

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 or dangers.
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.
