Preparation
Installation of small swimming pool usually takes only 10 minutes with 1 people Recommendations regarding placement of the pool:

• It is essential the pool is set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is set up on uneven ground it can cause collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property. Setting up on uneven ground will void the warranty and service claims.
• Do not set up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. Ground should be firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable.
• The ground must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones and twigs.
• Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.

Installation

Assembly can be completed without tools.
NOTE: It is important to assemble pool in the order shown below. Adult assembly required.

1. Find solid, level ground and clear it of debris.
   Attention: Do not set up the pool under cables or under trees.
2. Spread out the pool and make sure it is right side up.
3. Cover the water valve.
4. Assemble the top rails. Connect Top Rail A to Top Rail B, ensure the spring-loaded pins snap into the pre-drilled holes, and slide into the pole sleeve (Fig.1). Please see the structure photo for detailed directions. Make sure the top rails' ends are in right position.
   
5. At the corners, insert the Top Rails (A & B) into the Corners (D). (Fig. 2)
   
6. Insert the Vertical Pool Legs (C) into the bottom of the Corners (D).(Fig. 3)
   
7. Attach all Footings (E) to the bottom of the Vertical Pool Legs (C). (Fig. 4)

Prevent Drowning

Closely watch children who are in or near this pool.
Children under 5 are at highest risk for drowning.
Empty pool after use.

• Children, especially children younger than 5 years, are at high risk of drowning.
• Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in. (5cm) of water.
• 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.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier which complies with the following:

1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the horizontal members should be located on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-3/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal members should be no more than 1-3/4 inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 7,and should be equipped to accommodate alocking device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 inch within18 inches of the release mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves aspart of the barrier, one of the following should apply:
   1. All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm which produces an audible warning when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet the requirements of UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds, such as smoke alarms, telephones, and door bells. The alarm should automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such deactivation should last for nomore than 15 seconds. The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above the threshold of the door.
   2. The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
   3. Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above.
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier which meets. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.

Section II: Barrier Locations
Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.
