ATTENTION: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING YOUR SWIMMING POOL. THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED BY ALL POOL USERS. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE CONSULTATION.
REMEMBER THAT CHILDREN’S SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU! HIGHER RISK TO CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE. BEWARE THAT IF
INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY, ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
- Do not install the swimming pool on balconies, terraces, roofs, areas prone to flooding or surfaces that are not
completely safe.
- It is important to place the swimming pool near a drain to prevent possible flooding. Remember that the pool is a
large water tank. If it is placed unevenly, pressure might cause its wall to collapse which would release a high
quantity of water and cause considerable damage to property or injury to any person/s nearby.
- This swimming pool is designed for private use only and not for commercial purposes.
- To avoid the risk of drowning or injury always supervise young children.
- Do not attach toboggans or springboards to the pool.
- Do not dive or jump headlong into the swimming pool from a ladder, a ledge or anywhere else.
- Do not lean, sit or walk along the edge, it has not been designed for this.
- Do not use the swimming pool if you have consumed alcohol, drugs or medication.
- Do not use shoes made of metal or sharp parts.
- Do not place tables, chairs or other objects near the swimming pool. They might give children easy access to
the swimming pool and cause injuries or drowning.
- Do not cut holes in the wall of the swimming pool in order to install lights or anything else that could cause
serious injury, electrocution or property damage. Failure to observe this advice may result in damage to the wall.
- Never use the swimming pool at night or with low visibility.
- The swimming pool’s water must be kept clean so that the bottom is always visible.
SAFETY TIPS (STANDARD REGULATION)
Monitor and act
- Close and constant supervision of children is a must.
- Designate one supervisor for safety and strengthen supervision when there are more people in the pool.
- Give lifesavers to people who cannot swim.
- Teach your children to swim as soon as possible.
- Wet neck, arms and legs before entering the water.
- Learn First Aid, especially First Aid for children.
- Forbid dipping and jumping into the swimming pool in the presence of children, as well as running and rough
games near the swimming pool.
- Do not authorise access to the swimming pool without lifesaver armbands or vests for children who cannot swim
well or are alone in the water.
- Do not leave toys near and/or in the swimming pool without monitoring.
- Always keep the water clean and unpolluted.
- Place water treatment products out of reach of children.
Prevent
Some equipment may help with personal safety, however it should not replace adult supervision.
Place:
- a fence around the pool whose gate is always closed;
- an accessible phone near the swimming pool;
- a rubber ring and a pole near the swimming pool;
- a manual or automatic protection cover properly installed and set and,
- an electrical device to detect falls or someone walking towards the swimming pool.
In case of accident
- Take the child out of the water immediately.
- Find help as quickly as possible and follow the instructions given.
- Replace wet clothing with dry clothing.
- Memorise the emergency phone numbers such as firefighters, Red Cross, Civil Defence, ambulance, medical
centre, etc. and place them near the swimming pool.
Attention: Filtering of water follows the installation standard NF C 15-100 which states that all electrical devices
located within less than 3.50 m. from the swimming pool and which are freely accessible must be powered with
low voltage, 12 volts. Any device powered with 220 V must be located at least at 3.50 m. from the edge of the
pool. Permission from the manufacturer must be requested in order to modify one or all the elements of the
filtering system.

ADVICE FOR THE CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE SWIMMING POOL
1. Take your time and read the instructions carefully before installation. Follow them.
2. This pool must be installed outdoors on a firm, hard-wearing and levelled floor. (Read "Warranty").
3. This set has been conceived and designed to make installation easy. The final result will depend on the care
and attention given to the installation. If these instructions are followed, the swimming pool will be preserved in
good condition for a long time.
4. Check your local regulations and make sure to have a building licence, if necessary. Check the electrical and
local building regulations regarding the installation of above ground pools.
5. Remember that your pool is like a large water tank. If the pool is filled above the safety limits, the pressure can
collapse the wall, releasing a large amount of water and causing considerable damage to property or to any
person/s nearby.
6. This type of pool contains a large amount of water, therefore its weight is considerable. Take all possible safety
measures to prevent accidents. To calculate the approximate weight of your pool and its water capacity, take into
account that one litre is equivalent to one kilo.
7. Classify the components of the pool and make sure that you have the required tools before beginning
installation.
8. Two adults are required in order to install the pool properly.
9. Installation time between two people is about 4 to 5 hours depending on the model.
DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF THE POOL
Never install the pool below ground level. If you do not have a large or flat enough surface area for your pool,
then choose a place where you have to dig as little as possible. To flatten the chosen area, it will be necessary to
remove the higher surface area in order to level it with the lowest level and not the
other way round.
Install your pool in a sunny area at least 6 metres away from any electrical power
point.
Do not install the pool underneath electrical wires and make sure before you start
digging that there are no underground electrical or phone cables or gas pipes.
Do not install the pool under trees since
branches, falling leaves and resin can
be a constant problem regarding water
maintenance. The further away from trees, the better for your pool.
Avoid installing your pool in areas prone to flooding or on soil recently
treated with chemicals.
Important: Choose carefully the location of your pool. Make sure that the distance to other adjoining
facilities (houses, fences, etc.) is appropriate. Make sure the ground is levelled. Contact the competent
authorities in order to receive information related to the installation of a swimming pool in your home.

PREPARING THE AREA BEFORE INSTALLATION
For this type of pool it is advisable to build a platform of concrete, the size of your pool plus 30 cm for safety (see
table below). This platform must be COMPLETELY HORIZONTAL WITHOUT SLOPING. VERY IMPORTANT: Do
not install the pool on a plate of expanded polystyrene or similar.
- Directly on the ground, preconditioning must be followed as detailed below:
Material required to mark: a stake, rope, a funnel (bottle) and lime or flour or similar. Check the area where you
are going to place the pool. Use work gloves for safety.
- Drive the stake into the ground, tie the rope equal in length to the radius of your pool, ± 30 cm. margin. Draw the
circumference of your pool with chalk or lime or a bit of flour and a funnel, fig. 1.
- If you have to level the ground, do not fill in the holes, instead remove the soil from the higher surface area to
level it to the lowest surface area and not the other way round. In any case, remove roots, grass, stones and any
sharp objects, fig. 2 and 3.
- With the help of a rake or a wooden board, even out the area and fill in the holes with sand, fig 4.
- With the help of a level and a wooden board check regularly that the ground is 100% levelled. Even out the
entire surface to the same level as the lowest area. Fill in with fine sand and level the area again, fig. 5.
- Finally, apply and sift a thin layer of sand on the surface area. With the help of a wooden board, spread out the
sand while at the same time evening out the area. Then flatten the area along the circumference as in fig 6.

LOADING THE BOTTOM BLUE CURVED GUIDES
a) Tiles are optional. When the pool is placed on the ground, the tiles must be
placed on motherboards T1 (ref. 570), one per each of the vertical columns of
your pool. It is recommended a 30x30 cm tile, one tile per column.
b) Place temporarily the bottom blue curved guides (PCA) and T1 base around
the plates of the circle, fig.7. Each motherboard will indicate where to place the
tiles. Make a mark on the floor next to each of the plates.
c) Remove the bottom guides and base plates and place the tiles around the
circle where the motherboards were, fig. 8.
d) The tiles have to sink into the ground so that the entire floor is levelled around
them, fig. 9. Use a spirit level and a wood line to make sure all the tiles are flush
with each other.
fig. 7
fig. 8
7
PLACEMENT ON THE PLATFORM (recommended)
Make the platform 30 cm larger as a safety margin. Locate the centre of the
platform. On the central point, tie a rope equal in length to the radius of your
pool. Make the circumference of your pool with chalk, lime or flour and a funnel,
fig. 1.
e) Place each mark around the perimeter of the equidistant plates on a T1 basis.
If the tiles are optionally used, place a base plate on each tile T1, Fig 8.
f) Place the bottom blue curved guides (PCA) on the motherboards (T1). Leave
a space of about +/- 9 mm, fig. 11, 12, 13, between the edge of each guide.
Check your pool measurements with a meter, fig. 14.
Tip: To keep the distance between the edge of each guide (PCA), place a piece
of +/- 9 mm. (i.e. with a few pieces of wood 9x9 mm) between the bottom blue
curved guide (PCA) and the motherboards T1. Place the metal strip and move
the piece a little, but without removing it completely. When placing the vertical
profile, completely remove the piece.

ASSEMBLY OF THE STEEL WALL (CH)
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not fold or wrinkle the steel wall during installation. Unfold it very carefully. Put cardboard under the
metal wall in order to unfold it easily and to stop it from being scratched when in contact with the floor (a possible cause of
rust).
Installation must be done by at least 2 people on a sunny day with no wind. During installation, do not fold the metal wall and
handle it very carefully.
Do not unfold or break the lower or upper guides during the assembly of the pool.
Very important: Please wear gloves during the assembly in order to avoid injury with the metal edges.
a) Place the steel wall vertically (CH) (the inner sticker of the wall facing
upwards) on a cardboard at the centre of the circle. This will make it easier to
unroll and will avoid scratch marks underneath the wall, fig. 15. The cast of the
skimmer is at the end of the roll of the wall.
b) Start to unroll the wall by placing it into the bottom blue curved guide (PCA)
fig. 16. The top of the wall should be placed on the motherboard T1, as centred
as possible. This way when we close the circle and put the screws, they will be
hidden in the column.
c) Fix the wall around the entire circumference until the whole wall is placed into
the bottom blue curved guide (PCA).
d) Put together the two ends of the steel wall so that you can close them with the
screws in both holes (TO) (the screw head on the inner side of the pool), always
leaving the washers (AR) and nuts (TU) on the outer side of the pool, fig. 17.
(ref. 497 -. 500 magnum ref.).
fig. 15
fig. 16
8
Important: You must place all the screws in the metal band, attach the screws
from the bottom up, leaving the top hole without placing the screw. Tighten all
the screws with a screwdriver and a wrench to measure. If the installation and
tightening of the nuts and bolts is not correct or all the screws have not been
placed, the pool’s warranty will become void.
e) Cover the ends of the joint, the joint of the wall (inside the pool) and the
screws with a PVC strip in order to protect the liner from friction which is usually
the main cause for tears in the liner, fig. 18. This strip must be firmly stuck to
this area, if necessary, use masking tape or similar to hold it to the wall.
f) Make sure the pool is round before starting the next step, fig. 19. Check that
the guides are an exact circle that fits the circumference drawn previously in the
step PREPARING THE AREA BEFORE INSTALLATION.
g) Prior to the installation of the liner spread a thin layer of sieved sand (no
stones) on the inner area, with a thickness of 5 cm. Use a rake to ensure that
there are no depressions or slopes, fig. 20
h) Important: Place clean sand (no stones or foreign objects), creating a
triangular wedge of 20 cm base x 20 cm height, (VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT
use fine-grained sand or beach sand). This will avoid water pressure from
damaging or sliding the liner below the steel wall, ensuring that everything is
evenly distributed, fig. 21. Failure to put this sand wedge voids the warranty.
Advice: Before placing the liner it is advisable to put a carpet (plastic, blanket,
artificial turf...) between the sand and liner for added protection.
VERY IMPORTANT: Before placing the liner, cut the skimmer hole with a metal saw or
scissors, taking as reference the holes of the wall. File down the edges to avoid the liner
being damaged or cut, fig. 22.

INSTALLATION OF THE LINER
For a correct installation, the liner must be perfectly centred taking as reference the base of the pool and have the
least possible creases.
1- The welding centre line that appears at the base of the liner must be
completely centred (Fig. 1) by matching the ends of the welded metal plates
that connect the lower guides of the pool.
2- The distance from the liner to the steel wall must be the same in the two
curves (AA, fig. 1) so that it can adjust the liner wall equally in the two curves.
9
INSTALLATION OF THE POOL LINER (L)
Important: Install the liner with two or more people. The PVC used for our liners
has been designed to be exposed to the sun and UV rays for a long period of
time. Depending on the use given or the weather conditions, the characteristics of
this material may vary slightly.
Never walk on the liner with shoes or leave your tools or components on the liner.
Any puncture produced during assembly voids the warranty of the liner. SEE
WARRANTY OF THE LINER.
The liner is the most important and delicate part of the swimming pool. Do not use
knives or sharp objects to open the swimming pool package. Carefully separate
the liner from the rest of the components and keep it in a safe place to avoid
undesired punctures, tears or any other damage that could be caused by tools or
the steel wall.
Install the liner on a sunny day with a minimum temperature of 20ºC so that it is
warm and can be easily unfolded during installation. It is made of a highly flexible
vinyl material.
a) Place the liner (L) at the centre of the swimming pool and unfold it towards
the edge. Place the rough side on the outside. The welded part that joins the base
of the liner with the edge must match perfectly the lower sections and the wall
around the inside perimeter at the bottom of the swimming pool, fig.23.
b) Locate the side welding (SL) so that it is perfectly straight and perpendicular
to the ground. This will help you to place the liner without creases. Pull all the
excess of the liner delicately, do not pull too hard. The liner must be centred, well
extended and without wrinkles, fig 24.
c) Lift the side of the liner that covers the upper edges of the swimming pool and
fasten it to the top of the wall with pegs. Remove the creases by pulling smoothly
outwards and adjust the liner. Flatten the pool liner with your hands. Start filling
the pool with water, but only up to 2 cm. Make sure that the pool wall is straight. If
the level is off by more than 20 mm. across the diameter of the pool, empty the
pool, take the wall apart and level the foundation again.
Add 25 cm of water and smooth out all the creases and tighten the liner to the
wall. Fasten the liner with the plastic copings (PL) and remove the pegs at the
same time. Let the liner hang slack for now. Remove the plastic copings around
the top edge of the wall one piece at a time and adjust the liner.
When all the PL copings have been installed, mark with felt pen the overlapping
part, fig. 25, remove the copings and trim the extra length so there is no overlap.
Install the last plastic coping again. Then install the white profiles (PBS) on the
plastic copings (PL), fig. 26.
Important: If your pool includes the decorated band, place it as instructed in the
manual, before installing the upper profiles (PBS).
IMPORTANT: CHECK that the water is evenly distributed. If there are any
puddles, this means that the ground has a depression. If the water accumulates
on one side, this means that the area is uneven. In that case, the pool must be
emptied and dismantled completely and the installation must begin again so that
the ground can be levelled.

INSTALLING THE VERTICAL PROFILES (VER)
a. Line the bottom of one of the vertical profiles (VER) (1) with the two small tabs on the motherboard plate T1 (2).
The tabs must be inside the vertical profile, fig. 27.
b. Align the holes for the screws TO2 (3), (550 ref -. Mod 230th / 350th / 460th - Ref. 551 -. Mod 550th - Ref. 552 -
Mod 640th), on both sides of the vertical profile, making sure to fix the holes inside the tabs of the T1 plate (2), fig.
10
27. VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT ANCHOR COLUMNS TO THE FLOOR WITH BOLTS OR WITH FASTENING
ELEMENTS. The warranty will be void when anchoring down the pool.
c. Put a top plate T2 (4) (ref. 571) onto the top edge of the pool wall and the vertical profile (VER) with the tabs
inside the profile, fig. 28.
d. Align the holes for the TO2 (6) screws (fig. 28) to the three holes of the vertical profile, making sure to fasten
the holes in the tabs on the T2 plate (6).
e. Repeat steps a, b, c, d for the rest of the profiles around the pool.
fig.27 fig.28
INSTALLATION OF THE TOP PROFILES (HOR)
a) Place a top profile (fig.29-30) with one end on top of the top plate. The
side of the top profile facing the centre of the pool should be close to
the pool liner and the pool wall. The side of the top profile facing the
outside of the pool will form a large overhang.
b) Line up the holes as shown. Fasten through the two oval holes to the
top plate below with two screws (fig.26). Do not tighten the screws yet.
Leave the screws slightly loose until all the top profiles are in place.
c) Repeat the last two steps for the other end of the top profiles. Repeat
previous steps to install the rest of the top profiles around the top of
the pool wall. Make the pool settle into a perfect circle by pushing the
top of the pool wall vigorously inward at each vertical profile (this will
help make the bottom of the pool wall shift into a perfect circle).
d) Adjust all the top profiles until they are lined up evenly with each other
and tighten all the screws, fig. 31.
fig.29 fig.30
fig.31
INSTALLATION OF THE TOP CONNECTORS (EMB)
Line up a one-piece top connector onto the ends of two top profiles. Hook the top connector under the inside
edges of the top profiles (photo 1, 2, 3). Bring the top connector down into place and pull out the front tabs to
fasten it under the outside edges of the top profiles. Repeat the three steps for the rest of the top connectors.

FINAL DETAILS
- The warning sticker must be placed on a visible area, for example, next to the ladder, fig. 32, 33.
- Place the cap (BU) to the ends of the screws at the bottom of the profiles, fig. 34. (ref. 4906 / ref. 4907 mod. 550
Ø).
- Attach the ladder according to the assembly instructions, put it in a place intended for entry and exit from the
pool and if possible visible. Remove the ladder after use.
- Assemble the filtration unit following the instructions. The filtration equipment must be separated from the pool
by at least 3.5 meters once it has been connected to the pool by hoses.
INSTALLING THE RETURN VALVE (VR)
The return valve is an element which brings back the filtered
water from the filter system, fig. 35. Important: Place
Teflon® on all threads. Teflon® excess may break the
components. Remove the rear fitting of the return valve and
place Teflon®, screw all the way.
1) Once the water is at +/- 10 cm. below the lower edge of
the valve, mark the hole in the liner with a felt pen and with
a sharp blade, cut the liner carefully into a cross-shape from
the inner wall of the pool towards the outer wall, without
going past the punched hole.
2) On the return valve (A), once the seals are placed, the rubber (B) is introduced into this pre-cut hole, from the
interior wall to the exterior wall. Cut the piece of liner that hangs on the external side.
3) Place the rubber washer (C) on the outer wall, put Teflon® on the threads and
tighten firmly with the large nut (D) inserting Teflon® and the return hose (E), which
runs from the filter system to the return valve (a) and secure it with a clamp (H).
For better filtering we advise you to direct the water. In order to do this, you will
have to loosen the washer (AR), move the swivel ball (BO) slightly upwards to one
side of the pool and tighten the washer (AR). In this way impurities will be directed
towards the skimmer.
INSTALLING THE SKIMMER (SK)
Keep on filling the swimming pool with water up to 5 cm below the
skimmer hole. With a felt pen mark on the liner the square hole for the
installation of the skimmer and cut the piece of liner marked with a sharp
blade.
Place the double rubber washer (Z) on the steel wall. The steel wall and
liner must go inside the grooves of the washer. Next, install the skimmer frame
with the screws. Make sure that all the holes are lined up (washer, hole and
skimmer). Fix the holes with the screws one after the other until a perfect
match is made, but do not tighten them up too much. Start fastening and finally
tighten the screws firmly following the same order.
Cover the frame (M) threading with Teflon® and fasten it up firmly into the
skimmer. Fix one hose end to the frame (M) with a clamp (H). Connect the
other hose end to the filter water inlet and tighten with a clamp.
fig. 35
12
It is important to use Teflon® for all threadings so as to make sure that it is waterproof. Install the gate (P) with a
screwdriver. Finally, place the basket (S) inside the skimmer and the lid (V) on top of it.
CONNECTING A VACUUM CLEANER TO YOUR SKIMMER
For filters with a minimum capacity of 6 m3/h, install the filter adapter (XM) on the basket (S) inside the
skimmer (Q). Connect one hose end to this adaptor and the other end to the vacuum cleaner (or robot, if your
filter capacity allows this). Connect the vacuum cleaner to a stick or a pole.
Fill the swimming pool up to halfway of the skimmer gate so that the water will go inside the skimmer and fill
the filtering system.
WATER MAINTENANCE
All swimming pools need chemical treatment to maintain the sanitised and crystal clear water. Check with
your chemical products supplier to determine which are best for your needs. Water treatment procedure is not the
same everywhere since it depends on the water quality in each region.
WARNING: An incorrect treatment may cause water pollution which can result in infections, poisoning or disease.
The best water quality is obtained by using the right treatment. To prevent the growth of algae and bacteria,
use bactericide, algaecide, water pH correctors and flocculants (except for cartridge filters). Apply the first
chlorine treatment within 24 hours of filling in the pool.
Never add chemical products directly to the water. Chemicals must be diluted before being introduced into
the water. Otherwise the liner could be damaged. However, it is easier to keep the water clean than to clean
already polluted water. Use your filter frequently.
Water maintenance is the most important factor in making your pool liner look excellent and last for a long
time. Therefore, follow the instructions in the filter manual. The filter capacity must be high enough to filter the
water of the pool 3 times every 24 hours. The filter must be connected even when there is nobody in the pool.
Make sure to check the water at least once a week, to keep the pool in optimum condition.
Make sure that you do the following on a frequent basis:
- Analyse the water pH and make sure it is between 7.2 and 7.6.
- Analyse the chlorine level and make sure it is between 0.5 and 2 grams per cubic meter.
- Remove any leaves and insects from the water.
Make sure that you do the following on a weekly basis:
- Add the correct maintenance quantity of algaecide.
- Add anti-calcareous product if lime is formed or the water is hard.
- Use flocculants to improve filtering (except when using a cartridge filter).
SAFETY MEASURES FOR HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
The following precautions must be followed when handling chemical products:
- Use gloves to protect your hands and a mask or goggles for eye protection.
- No smoking where the products are stored or used. Many products are flammable.
- Wash your hands and face after using the products.
- Store the products in a dark and dry place. Do not leave the products in the sun.
- Make sure that the containers are closed. Tighten their caps or lids.
- Do not leave the products within the reach of children. Make sure that the products are stored out of reach in a
safe place.
- Do not re-use empty containers.
- Keep the products in their original containers.
- Do not remove the labels from the containers.
- Make sure that the storage area for chemical products has proper ventilation.
- When raining, increase the amount of chlorine and anti-algae bactericide.
- When adding water to the pool, check again the chlorine and anti-algae bactericide level.
- Keep the place where the chemical products are stored well ventilated.

POOL MAINTENANCE
After your pool has been completely installed, follow these instructions to keep it clean and in good condition.
- Liner –Regularly check for leaks in the liner. Use the repair kit for small repairs on the liner.
- Pool wall –Keep it clean, using a neutral pH detergent. Do not use abrasives, chemicals or cleaning solutions.
Rinse out silt chemical products used for water treatment straight away. Coat all visible screw heads with
transparent outdoor varnish.
Check the metal parts for rust, at least once a year. Coat all scratches and rusted areas with an anti-rust
primer. Follow the instructions for applying the paint.
At the end of the season, drain the water until the water level is 30 cm. Remove the upper part of the liner
and check for possible rust on the inner side of the pool wall.
Pay special attention to leaks in the filter and outlet holes. Leaks must be repaired straight away.
SHOCK CHLORINATION
Destroys quickly and efficiently all microorganisms, bacteria and fungi if the chlorine level is raised up to 20
ppm approximately.
Shock chlorination is recommended in the following cases:
a) At the beginning of the bathing season.
b) Depending on special weather conditions (i.e. storms, rain, etc).
c) In case of intensive use of the swimming pool.
Cleaning the bottom of the swimming pool by aspirating: only for pools with skimmer and filter with
engines 6, 8, 10 y 15 m³. Connect the end of the hose to the brush and immerse it in the water for the hose to
get filled up. Connect the other end of the hose to the aspiration cover and put it on the basket of the skimmer.
Start the filter system in Drain Off mode and start cleaning the bottom.
Cleaning the bottom of the pool with a venturi sweeper jet: Connect a hose to the head of the venturi
sweeper jet and immerse it in the swimming pool. Open the tap with a normal pressure and the venturi sweeper
jet will start working. The water bounces on the ground producing an upwards flow that collects and deposits the
dirt inside the filter-bag.
Problems
Causes
Solutions
Murky water
Poor filtration. High pH. Excess
of organic residue.
Backwash the filter. Add a flocculating agent with a dispenser.
Carry out a shock chlorination except in cartridge filters.
Green water

pH and adjust to between 7.2 and 7.6. Carry out a shock
chlorination and add extra anti-algae bactericide.
Brown water
Presence of iron and
manganese.
Analyse the water’s pH and adjust to between 7.2 and 7.6.
Carry out a shock chlorination.
Lime deposit
Water calcium salts.
Analyse the water’s pH and adjust to between 7.2 and 7.6.
Add anti-calcareous product once a week.
Eyes and skin
irritation
Imbalanced pH. Excess of
organic residue.
Analyse the water’s pH and adjust to between 7.2 and 7.6.

CARE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS
If the pool is not dismantled during the winter, follow these instructions at the end of the season to
prepare your swimming pool for the winter. Do not drain all the water. Never leave an empty swimming pool
outdoors. Decrease the water level to just below the skimmer opening. Cover the pool with a protective cover. To
keep the cover flat, place an inflatable object or floater between the water and the cover. This way, the liner is not
damaged by rain, frost and/or ice. You can also add a chemical product to the water in order to protect the liner
against freezing. This product also facilitates the cleaning of the liner after winter time.
14
To stop the water from freezing, leave several empty plastic bottles (or balls made of Porexpan) floating on the
water. In case of snow, remove the snow of the cover regularly to avoid additional weight on the cover.
- Check all the nuts and bolts and make sure that all the joints are correctly adjusted. Check that the pool wall has
not come off the lower profiles. Check that the screws are tight.
- Check rusted areas and paint all the scratches or rusted metal using anti-rust primer.
- Check the liner. Check that the upper part of the liner is still joined to the pool wall with plastic copings. DO NOT
remove the pool liner. Removal of the liner will void the product’s warranty.
- Look for leaks. Check that there are no leaks in the liner. Leaks can cause severe damage to your pool during
the winter.
- Pool accessories. Remove all accessories including the ladder from the pool. Wash the ladder with water and
neutral pH detergent. Wash the rest of the accessories with water and neutral pH detergent.
- Filter. Remove the filter from the pool. Wash the whole filter with water and neutral pH detergent. Read the filter
installation and maintenance manual.
HOW TO EMPTY, DISMANTLE AND STORE YOUR POOL
First check the filter instructions to make sure that your filter has the Option to Empty.
Use the Communicating Vessels Principle: first completely submerge a hose in the pool until it is full of water.
Then cover one end with your finger and take it out of the pool. Water will start to come out. Make sure to keep
the other end of the hose submerged in order to empty the pool.
CAUTION: Take into account the amount of water you are going to empty in order to avoid unnecessary surplus
water on the site. Make sure that the water leaving the pool is properly evacuated. Otherwise the excess of water
could cause damage to people as well as to property.
Always keep in mind the amount of water that will be drained in order to avoid any problems. It is useful to have a
drain close.
After the pool has been emptied of water, dismantle it carefully. In order to avoid any damage, deformation or
tear, dismantle the parts in the inverse order of installation. Check all the components to ensure that they are
perfectly clean and dry before storage.
Prior to storing, wash the liner with water and neutral pH detergent that does not contain any chemical products.
To preserve the liner in optimum conditions and to avoid bad odours and humidity, wipe the liner on both sides
and dry it with a cloth or paper towel.
Make sure the liner is not pierced. Fold it and store it in a separate place. Keep the pool sections and components
in a dry and covered place.
If any of the pool elements are damaged, replace them as soon as possible with original TOI accessories. See
the address at the end of this manual.
