GENERAL INFORMATION

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's structure, which may release large quantities of water that
could cause bodily harm, death and property damages.
In order to ensure proper water drainage around the pool, a 2-degree slope
needs to be erected around the perimeter of the pool. THE MANUFACTURER
WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY SHOULD THIS
STEP BE OMITTED.
Before installing your pool, you should check local regulations such as
building codes, zoning requirements and electrical codes to determine
whether a building permit or electricity permit is required to install your
pool. Local regulations may ask you to make sure your backyard meets
set-back requirements, install gates, barriers or other safety devices, or
meet other conditions.
WARNING : All pool components, such as the filtration system, pump
and heater and other objects, should be positioned so that people
cannot use them to gain access to the pool or the deck. Positioning
such objects too close to the pool may allow people access to the
pool while unattended and may cause them serious injury or death.
SAFETY EQUIPEMENT
For your protection and for the safety of others, we
recommend that lifesaving equipment be on hand
near the pool at all times.

LADDER SAFETY

Although we do not manufacture ladders, the proper use of the ladder
by pool users is an integral part of general pool safety.
NSPI standards require all pools to have an approved ladder attached
for proper access to and from the pool. The purchaser should follow
the pool ladder manufacturer's installation instructions.

We are not responsible for faulty installation of the pool, we are not affiliated
with any pool installer and assume no responsibility or liability for the
purchaser's or a professional installer's errors in installing your pool.
NO DIVING, NO JUMPING and PREVENT DROWNING stickers are
provided with your pool. These stickers must be affixed to the interior of
the pool above the water line, or any place where the pool users can see
them clearly before entering the pool. If you need more stickers or if some
are missing, you can order these at www.corneliuspools.com/contact or
by calling 1 888 777-0447.
Although we do not manufacture pool ladders, every pool must have an
ANSI APPROVED pool ladder for proper entering and exiting of the pool.
The proper use of the pool ladder by pool users is an integral part of general
pool safety (Please refer to your pool ladder safety instructions).
We recommend that you purchase one of the following: A light, strong
and rigid pole, frequently referred to as a Shepard's Crook, at least twelve
feet long or a throwing rope at least ¼ inch in diameter and as long as 1.5
times the maximum width or diameter of your pool. The rope should be
firmly attached to a coast guardapproved buoy with an outside diameter
of approximately 15 inches.
Please follow these rules regarding the use of the ladder:
• Only one person on the ladder at a time.
• The user should face the ladder whether going in or out of the pool.
• NO DIVING or JUMPING from the ladder steps or the ladder's platform.
• Check all nuts and bolts regularly to make sure the ladder is safe.
• Inform others of the rules pertaining to the use of ladder and steps.
