Safety Care for Children

Drowning Risk:

  1. Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool. Give this person a "water watcher" tag and ask that they wear it the entire time they are in charge of supervising children in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask this person to pass the "water watcher" tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult. For replacement of the water watcher tag, please visit www.polygroupstore.com.
  2. Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and draining of the pool. Maintain constant supervision of children and do not remove any safety barriers until the pool is completely empty and stowed away.
  3. Children, especially children younger than five years, are at high risk of drowning. Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in (5 cm) of water.
  4. Keep children in your direct sight, stay close, and actively supervise them when they are in or near this pool and when you are filling and emptying this pool.
  5. When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if child is thought to be in the house.
  6. Do not leave toys inside pool when finished using, since toys and similar items might attract a child to the pool. Position furniture (for example, tables, chairs) away from pool, so that children cannot climb on it to gain access to the pool. After using pool, remove water to a level of ½ in (1 cm) or less.
  7. Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on them and gain access to the pool.

Swimming Pool Barriers

Very Important:

  1. Swimming pool barriers, which restrict access to the pool by small children, may be required by law. A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential drowning and near drowning. Barriers are not a substitute for constant supervision of children.
  2. Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barrier around all sides of pool. State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
  3. See latest published edition of CPSC Pub. No. 362 found at www.poolsafely.gov.

Swimming Pool Equipment

  1. The use of artificial pool lighting is at the discretion of the pool owner. Lighting, when installed, should be in accordance with Article 680 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) or its latest approved edition and in consultation with a licensed electrical professional.
  2. Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
  3. Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
  4. For swimming pools, fountains, and similar installations, and any state or local code, all electrical components installed in and/or adjacent to an above-ground/on-ground residential swimming pool shall be installed in accordance with and shall comply with the requirements of the latest published edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC®) Article 680. For more information, visit www.nfpa.org.

Swimming Pool Awareness

  1. ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED: This pool may contain potentially hazardous sharp edges, sharp points, or small parts.
  2. Do not install the pool on a slope or inclined surfaces, on soft or loose soil conditions (such as sand or mud), or on an elevated surface such as a deck, platform or balcony. It may collapse under the weight of the filled pool.
  3. TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION: Keep the plastic bag used in this product away from babies and children; do not use the bag in cribs, beds, carriage, or playpens. The plastic bag could block nose and mouth and prevent breathing. The plastic bag is not a toy.
  4. If a drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, or drowning. Repair or replace the drain or suction outlet cover before using the pool again.
  5. When using the pool at night, artificial lighting should be used to illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces, and pathways.
  6. The floor of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
  7. Keep your pool clean and clear. The deepest part of pool must be visible at all times from outside of the pool.
  8. Call for emergency if needed.
  9. Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following, should be on hand at all times:
    • A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd's crook) not less than twelve feet (12') [366 cm] long.
    • A minimum one-fourth inch (¼") [6.35 mm] diameter rope as long as one and one half (1 ½) times the maximum width of the pool or fifty feet (50') [15.24 meters], whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy having an outside diameter of approximately fifteen inches (15") [38.1 cm], or similarly approved flotation device.
  10. The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead to a failure of the pool structure that might release large quantities of water that could cause bodily harm and property damage.
  11. Never allow horseplay, diving, or jumping into or around the pool. This could lead to serious injury, paralysis or death. DO NOT ALLOW anyone to swim alone without supervision.
  12. Pool shall be located at a minimum distance of 6ft (1.83m) from any receptacle, and all 125-volt 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located within 20ft (6.0m) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), where distances are by measuring the shortest path the supply cord of an appliance connected to the receptacle would follow, without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway with hinged or sliding door, window opening, or other effective permanent barrier, to the inside wall of the pool.

Circulation Systems

  1. Follow the instructions regarding positioning of all equipment connected to the circulation systems and operating the components.
  2. Circulation equipment should be installed per manufacturer's instructions to provide proper mounting and support, to prevent damage from misalignment, settlement, and vibration, and to minimize the potential for the accumulation of debris and moisture. Please refer to pump's instruction manual.
  3. Replacement pump should never exceed the maximum flow rate marked on the suction fitting.

Ladder

  1. The ladder should be located on a solid base and is to be installed per the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. One person on the ladder at a time.
  3. The ladder should be designed and manufactured for a specific pool wall height.
  4. For entry/exit of pool, face the ladder at all times.
  5. To prevent entrapment or drowning do not swim through, behind, or around ladder.
  6. Remove and secure ladder when pool is not occupied.

Pool Cover

Pool covers used for safety barriers shall comply with the latest published edition of ASTM F-1346, Standard performance specifications for safety covers and labeling requirements for all covers for swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs.

Chemicals

For safety sake, ensure the deepest part of the pool is always visible. The user must properly maintain pool water clarity at all times. Check the pH and chlorine levels periodically, and make sure they are within the recommended limits. Additional water treatment chemicals might be needed from time to time. Have the water sample tested by a local pool supply store to determine if additional chemicals are needed. Turn on the pump for the recommended hours daily. If you are unsure of the time frames please refer to support.polygroupstore.com for the recommended Pump Operation Hours based on pool types and sizes. Clean and replace filter cartridge frequently. Replace only with genuine Polygroup® / Summer Waves® Brand filter cartridge. Refer to the Filter Pump manual for additional water care information.

Entrapment Risk

  1. Entrapment Avoidance: There shall be no protrusions or obstruction in the swimming area, which may cause entrapment or entanglement of the user. If a suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration, or drowning. Repair or replace the suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used.
  2. Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings. Your body or hair may be trapped, causing permanent injury or drowning.

Drowning Risk

  1. Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barrier around all sides of pool. State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
  2. Remove pool ladders before leaving the pool.
  3. Toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb should be at least four feet (4') [121.92 cm] from the pool. The pump filter system should be positioned so as to prevent it from being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.

Diving Risk

  1. Above-ground/on-ground residential swimming pools are for swimming and wading only. No diving boards, slides, or other equipment are to be added to an above-ground/on-ground pool.
  2. Do not dive into this pool. Diving into shallow water can result in a broken neck, paralysis, or death.

Electrocution Risk

  1. Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
  2. Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.

First Aid

  1. Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers near the pool.
  2. Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the event of an emergency, immediate use of CPR can make a lifesaving difference.

Special Warning

  1. Local building codes may require obtaining a building or electrical permit. Installer shall follow regulations on setback, barriers, devices, and other conditions.
  2. Safety signs shall comply with requirements of ANSI-Z535 and use signal wording.
  3. DO NOT attempt to assemble this pool in adverse weather conditions, windy conditions, or when the temperature is below 60°F.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Before assembling your product, please take a few minutes to check the contents and become familiar with all the parts.


DO NOT overfill the pool and / or allow people to lay over or sit on pool wall - DOING SO CAN CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY! DRAIN pool to the proper level after a heavy rain.

TIP: It will be much easier to install your pool if you unfold it and let it lay in direct sunlight for about 2 hours prior to installation. This will help to ensure a wrinkle-free fit because the pool material will be more pliable allowing it to form into shape during installation.


VERY IMPORTANT! SITE MUST BE LEVEL, STABLE, COMPACTED SOIL.

  • The pool must be assembled on a smooth and level site of firm soil that is free of stones, gravel, sticks, blacktop, or other oil base compounds.
  • Before setting up your pool, it is recommended that you clear the area of hardy grasses. Certain types of vigorous grasses such as St. Augustine and Bermuda can grow through the liner. A ground cloth or tarp may be helpful in preventing this from occurring. Grass growing through the liner is not covered under warranty.
  • Do not install pool on a wooden deck or any type of wooden surface. You cannot use sand and/or uncompacted soil to provide a level surface for this pool; it will only wash out.
  • FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL CAUSE POOL TO COLLAPSE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!

Site Preparation

  1. Select a level area, and completely remove all debris, twigs, stones, etc. DO NOT select an area under overhead electrical lines, trees, or within 15 feet of a house, building, etc.
  2. The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 6ft (1.83m) from any electrical receptacle.
  3. All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 20ft (6.0m) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The 20ft (6m) distance is measured via the shortest straight line distance the supply cord would follow without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window, or other permanent barrier.
  4. Contact your local utilities, checking that no underground cables, telephone lines, gas lines, etc. run beneath the area you have selected.

Setup Instructions

  1. Locate a level and flat area to set up the pool. Make sure the ground is free from sharp objects as they may puncture the pool.
  2. Carefully unfold the pool liner in the area selected and inspect the seams for manufacturing defects.
  3. It is recommended to let the pool sit out in direct sunlight for about 2 hours prior to installation (see TIP above).
  4. LIFT the pool liner across the ground. DO NOT drag the liner from one location to another location.
  5. Locate the pool so that the pump opening is 10 to 21 feet away from the electrical outlet.
  6. Insert the Vertical Legs 3 into the Leg Caps 6.
    Setup Instructions Step 1
  7. Lay all parts on the ground as shown below.
    Setup Instructions Step 2
    * Image for reference only
  8. Carefully slide the Horizontal Beams 2 into the sleeves of the pool.
    Setup Instructions Step 3
  9. Connect the T-Fitting 4 to the Horizontal Beam 2.

    Connect all T-Fittings to all Horizontal Beams. BUT reserve a space for EZ Link T-Fitting 5.
    Setup Instructions Step 4
  10. Connect the EZ Link T-Fitting 5 to the last remaining Horizontal Beams 2.
    Setup Instructions Step 5
  11. Insert the Pins 7 down through the top of the T-Fittings until the Pins snap into place on the lower side of the T-fitting.
    Setup Instructions Step 6
  12. Carefully slide the Vertical Legs 3 up through the belt that runs around the middle of the pool.
    Tips: For smaller pools without a belt, slide the vertical legs up through the sleeves on the pool wall.
    Setup Instructions Step 7
  13. Look through the hole in the T-fitting, as you insert the Vertical Leg rotate it until the buttons align with the holes and pop out, locking the Vertical Leg in place. Do this for all Vertical Legs.
    Setup Instructions Step 8
    Note: Each vertical leg has a V-Shaped Spring Pin 8 pre-installed. There is one extra included with your pool parts.
  14. Go around and check all fittings, legs, and beams are properly installed and secured in place. Make sure the drain fitting is plugged securely and the cap is in place.
    Setup Instructions Step 9
  15. Fill up the pool with about an inch (1") [2.54cm] of water. Stop filling and smooth out all wrinkles from the pool floor, working outwards from the center, so that it fills evenly.
    Note: If more than one to two inches (1"-2") [2.54cm-5.08cm] of water collects on any one side before the pool starts filling in the center, the pool is not level enough, and must be corrected.
  16. Install the filtration system as per its instruction manual.
  17. Continue to fill the pool to approximately eight inches (8") [20.32cm] below the top rim.

NOT FOLLOWING THE STEPS ABOVE WILL MAKE THE POOL FILL UNEVENLY AND THE POOL MAY LEAN TO ONE SIDE AND COLLAPSE (SEE PICTURE). YOUR POOL SHOULD BE STRAIGHT AND VERTICAL TO THE GROUND. IF YOUR POOL IS LEANING AT ALL, THE GROUND MAY NOT BE LEVEL AND YOU WILL NEED TO START OVER.
Setup Instructions Step 10

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE WILL CAUSE POOL TO COLLAPSE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!


BEFORE ADDING WATER TO YOUR POOL YOU MUST INSTALL THE POOL WALL FITTINGS OR ENTIRE FILTRATION SYSTEM FIRST. BEFORE ADDING WATER TO YOUR POOL FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

If your pool included openings or you are going to purchase a filter pump system, position the Suction & Return fitting locations so they are 10 to 21 feet from the electrical outlet you plan to use for the pool pump.
If your pool came with Fittings - Install both the Suction and Return fittings to the pool wall before filling the pool.

NOTE: For Sand Filter Pump / Cartridge Filter Pump CP2000-C, please follow the Sand Filter Pump / Cartridge Filter Pump CP2000-C owner's manual to set up the fitting. Please check the water pump's instruction manual for more instructions.

Please Note: The Black Rubber gasket (Fitting Gasket) should always be slid over the threaded plastic suction or return fitting and be on the inside before the fitting is placed through the pool wall to make a watertight connection.
Make sure to put on both the Water Cap and the Service Plug while you fill your pool, or until you are ready to add a filtration system.

POOL MAINTENANCE & DRAINAGE


ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS, AND THE HEALTH AND HAZARD WARNINGS.

Do not add chemicals if the pool is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation. Concentrated chlorine solutions can damage the pool liner. In no event is Polygroup®, the buyer/retailers, or any other party liable for costs associated with the loss of pool water, chemicals, or water damage. Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks. We recommend the use of Polygroup® Filter Pump with all of our aboveground pools. To purchase a Polygroup® Filter Pump or other accessories, visit our website at support.polygroupstore.com or call Polygroup® Consumer Services.

EXCESSIVE RAIN: To avoid damage to the pool and overfilling, immediately drain rain water that causes the water level to be higher than the FILL LINE.

How to Drain Your Pool and Long Term Storage

  1. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
  2. Make sure the drain plug inside the pool is plugged in place.
  3. Twist off the cap of the drain valve on the outside of the pool.
  4. Attach a 5/8" garden hose to the drain valve.
  5. Place the other end of the garden hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the house and other nearby structures.
  6. Unplug the inner cap of the drain plug to start draining the pool.
  7. When the water stops draining, start lifting the pool from the side opposite to the drain valve to drain any remaining water and empty the pool completely.
  8. Replace the drain cap on outside of pool.
  9. Completely deflate the top ring, and remove all connecting parts. (if you have one)
  10. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air dry the liner in the sun until completely dry before folding (see drawing 1). Sprinkle some talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.

  15. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled storage location above 32°F (0°C) and below 104°F (40°C).
  16. The original packing can be used for storage.

POOL STORAGE & WINTERIZING

This above ground pool cannot be winterized and must be drained, disassembled, and properly stored if you live in an area where the temperature drops below 32°F (0°C). If you are in a warmer environment, please follow the instructions below.
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place (see long term storage above). Some pool owners, in warmer climates however, may choose to leave their pool up all year round. In cold areas, where freezing temperatures occur, there can be a risk of ice damage to your pool. Leaving your above ground pool set up in areas where the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 Celsius) voids the warranty.

Winterizing Your Above Ground Pool

  1. Clean the pool water thoroughly.
  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 (if applicable).
  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 Polygroup® Pool Cover. IMPORTANT NOTE: Polygroup® 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 0ºC (32ºF) and 40ºC (104ºF).
