Page 6: Safety Notice
SAFETY NOTICE A pool is a fun and happy place, but it can also be a risky place, especially for small children or anyone who cannot swim. In order to avoid accidents, basic safety precautions should be applied. As the owner, you have the most important role in reminding users of the "pool" safety rules. 1. - Page 7 21. The use of a device such as a salt-based 9. A pool is not a toy. Its use requires care, chlorinator/electrolyser is strictly prohibited: risk of monitoring and maintenance. the pool exploding and warranty exclusion. 22. Periodically check your pool and its accessories 10.

Page 8: Choosing The Pool Location
CHOOSING THE POOL LOCATION The following 10 criteria should be considered before choosing the final location: The Ground The ground on which the pool is placed must be firm, stable, level, smooth and horizontal. It is essential that the ground is flat (no holes or bumps), otherwise the pool will be subjected to stresses that can damage it. Very important: beware of water infiltration and the water table. -
Page 9: Ground Preparation
GROUND PREPARATION Your pool can be installed in two ways: above-ground or half-in-ground. The ground on which the pool rests must be flat, firm, stable, smooth and horizontal. It is essential that the ground is flat (no holes or bumps), otherwise the pool will be subjected to stresses, which can be manifested by a deformation of the pool in its shape, dimension, aspect and consequently can damage it. - Page 10 Unless you can use a spirit level, use a straight board. Find the lowest point of the surface to be prepared and level the ground at this point. Dig the higher areas by removing the soil and do not fill in the lower areas.

Page 11: Half-In-Ground Installation
PREPARATION FOR A HALF-IN-GROUND INSTALLATION Any half-in-ground pool is considered property and is therefore subject to property tax. All pools excluding removable pools (above-ground, flexible, inflatable) are subject to property tax. Pools whose installation only requires the digging of a hole (no masonry) are not taxable. Article 14 of the General Tax Code requires that this construction be declared within 90 days after completion of the work. -
Page 12: Pool Installation
POOL INSTALLATION 1. Remove the pool from the box. Depending on the weight, get help. Never drag the pool over the prepared or unprepared ground. Never use a box cutter to open the box. Keep the box. Warning: never install your pool when it is windy. Either you position the pool (not unfolded) at the left end of the prepared surface and to the right of the axis of symmetry. - Page 13 3. Unfold your pool from phase 1 to 10 Screw in the filling, drain and purge plugs after removing the covers (keep these covers).

Page 19: Filter Connection
FILTER CONNECTION For the assembly of the sand filtration unit, please refer to the manual supplied with it. A dry place with good drainage and accessible for cleaning the pump and access to the valve is recommended. Choose a natural or artificial shaded area to avoid overheating the engine. Install it on a rigid, flat, horizontal surface. -
Page 20: Floating Skimmer Assembly
FLOATING SKIMMER ASSEMBLY Note: A skimmer must always be placed facing the prevailing wind, which will bring the dirt into the floating skimmer. 1. Attach the arms onto the base. The clip (a) goes into aperture A and clip (b) goes into aperture B. Base view base base... - Page 21 3. Place the ballast in the skimmer body and screw the grooved connector to the skimmer outlet.

It works whether you are swimming or not. Tip: if you are swimming with your filtration unit in operation, the skimmer cannot perform correctly, the movement of the water created by the swimmers can disable the skimmer Check the perpendicularity of the skimmer to the water surface.

Page 25: Landfill For Half-In-Ground Pool
LANDFILL FOR A HALF-IN-GROUND POOL Reminder: The filling of the parts left free between the pool and the ground is carried out after the pool has been filled with water and the filtration unit has been fully installed. Please note: our filtering units include pipes that must be laid on the ground. -
Page 26: Ladder Assembly
LADDER ASSEMBLY Refer to the ladder instructions for assembly. Only install the ladder when the pool is fully installed and filled with water. Avoid the ladder touching the pool (rubbing can damage the pool fabric). For half-in-ground pools the ladder must be adjusted on site (by partially burying it) according to the desired height. -
Page 27: Instructions For Use And Maintenance
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE Before any treatment, we remind you that the pool must be filled with water from the mains supply (no rain or spring water, ...). This is a brief summary on chlorine based water treatment, contact a water treatment specialist for advice. - Page 28 3. ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS Water acidity (pH: hydrogen potential) For effective water treatment, the acidity (pH) must be between 7.2 and 7.6. Always check and adjust the pH of the water before any operation. To do this, use a product control kit (pH- to decrease and pH+ to increase the pH).
- Page 29 If the water in your pool is perfectly clear, with no chlorine odour, you must still provide a maintenance treatment with slow chlorine and an anti-algae treatment (the chlorine level must be between 1 and 2 PPM and the pH between 7.2 and 7.6). Summer cover (bubble cover) optional.
- Page 30 1. Colour fastness The more or less rapid variations in colours are linked to the use of sterilising products (oxidants). This phenomenon is normal. They vary according to the concentration of these products and pool use. Local discolouration on accessories (skimmer, discharge nozzles, etc.) may be observed. These are due to an excessive concentration of water treatment products.
- Page 31 SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE 1. AIR PRESSURE CONTROL The design of the pool is such that, more or less gradually, the water level in the pool goes down, the central part of the pool sags and the edges rise. It is then necessary to inflate the air tube. In a new pool this operation must be conducted every 2 or 3 months (depending on use and climatic conditions), it is completed when air bubbles escape from the orifices.
- Page 32 POOL WINTERING This type of pool should be left water-filled; it is not affected by frost. Never leave the pool with no water (empty). Will void the warranty. 1. Remove about 5cm of water from the tubes so that the check valve(s) do not freeze. To do so, unscrew the purge plug and then inflate the tube with air.
