Special Introductory note:
Thanks for buying an Intex pool. Please read this manual before setting up your pool.
This information will help extend the pool life and make the pool safer for your family's
enjoyment. We also recommend watching the instructional video on our website under
www.intexcorp.com. The DVD version of the instructional video may be included with some
pools, otherwise a free copy can be obtained by contacting one of the Intex service

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

IMPORTANT SITE SELECTION AND GROUND
PREPARATION INFORMATION
• The pool location must allow you to secure all doors, windows, and safety barriers to prevent
unauthorized, unintentional or unsupervised pool entry.
• Install a safety barrier that will eliminate access to the pool for young children and pets.
• Failure to set up the pool on at, level, compact ground and to assemble and ll with water in
accordance with the following instructions could result in the pool’s collapse or the
possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out/ejected, resulting in serious
injury or property damage.
• Risk of electric shock: connect the lter pump only to a grounding type receptacle protected
by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). To reduce the risk of an electrical shock, do not
use extension cords, timers, plug adapters or converter plugs to connect the pump to an
electrical supply. Always provide a properly located outlet. Locate the cord where it cannot
be damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment. See the lter pump
manual for additional warnings and instructions.
• Risk of serious injury: do not attempt to assemble pool in high wind conditions.
Select an outdoor location for the pool with the following requirements in mind:
1.
The area where the pool is to be set up must be absolutely at and level. Do not set up the pool on a
slope or inclined surface.
2 .

Properinationofthetopring.
The ambient temperatures of air and water have an effect on the internal pressure of the top ring. To
maintain a correct internal pressure, it is best to leave some room for expansion as the sun heats the
air inside the ring. During very hot weather, you must check to see whether it is necessary to release
some air. This is to avoid any possible damage to the ring.
In no event shall Intex, their authorized agents or employees be liable for damages (such as pin
holes) to the inatable top ring caused by negligence, ordinary wear and tear, abuse and
carelessness, or external forces.

IMPORTANT: Always set up the pool unit with at least 2
persons. Do not drag the liner across the ground as this can
cause liner damage and pool leakage (see drawing 2).

• Beforellingthepoolwithwater,ensurethatthedrainpluginsidethepoolisclosedandthatthedraincap

the water is level.
IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool ows to one side, the pool is not completely level. Setting up
the pool on unleveled ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in the sidewall material to bulge
and a potential collapse of the pool. If the pool is not completely level, you must drain the pool,
level the area and re-ll the pool.

IMPORTANT
Before allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting. Establish a set of rules that
include, at a minimum, the important safety rules and general aquatic safety information in this
manual. Review these rules on a regular basis and with all users of the pool, including guests.
The installer of the vinyl liner shall afx on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool
structure, all safety signs in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs
shall be placed above the water line.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY
Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent risks of
injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package
and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember, however, that product
warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water
recreation, but do not cover all risks and dangers.
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 additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following general
guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized Safety
Organizations:
• Demandconstantsupervision.Acompetentadultshouldbeappointedasa“lifeguard”
or water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.
• Learntoswim.

SAFETY IN YOUR POOL
Safe swimming depends on constant attention to the rules. You may also wish to copy and
laminate the sign for protection from the elements. You can also download and print
additional copies of the warning sign and water watcher tags at www.intexcorp.com.

Cleaning of the top ring
To keep the top ring clean and free of stains, wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use. Also cover
the pool with a pool cover when not in use. If you have dark stains on the top ring surface, wipe it with a soft
clothusingasolutionofmildlaundrydetergentandwater.Gentlyrubthestainandbecarefulnottoletthe

•
Water maintenance
The maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most
important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the liner as well as ensuring clean, healthy
and safe water. Proper technique is important for testing and treating the pool water. See your pool
professional for chemical, test kits and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written
instructions from the chemical manufacturer.

5.
Place the other end of the hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the house
and other nearby structures.
6
. Attach the drain connector
(4) to the drain valve. NOTE: The drain connector will push the drain

WINTER PREPARATIONS
Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place. You
must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool when the temperature drops
below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool
and related components. Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool
collapse. Also see the section ‘’How To Drain Your Pool’’.
Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees
Celsius), and you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:
1.
Clean the pool water thoroughly. If the type is an Easy Set Pool or an Oval Frame
Pool,makesurethatthetopringisproperlyinated.
2.
