ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
& OWNER'S MANUAL
FOR YOUR SAFETY - Ensure that the water level in your pool is maintained at the correct level for safe operation
of the filtration system. Never leave your pool empty. This can result in severe damage to your pool liner.
Never dive or jump into a modular pool and never walk or sit on the top deck as it is very dangerous and
serious injuries may occur. Failure to adhere to instructions concerning maintenance, safety, assembly, start-
up and use could pose serious health risks, especially to children. Your pool is designed to provide years of
enjoyment, as long as it is carefully and correctly installed and maintained. Read and make sure you understand
the instructions before you start. Work step by step, and take your time.
