• 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 cloth using a solution of mild laundry detergent and water.
Gently rub the stain and be careful not to let the stain debris fall into the water. Do not use
strong detergents, abrasive material or brushes.
• 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.
1. Never let chlorine come in contact with the liner if it is not completely dissolved. Dissolve
granular or tablet chlorine first in a bucket of water, then add it to the pool water. Likewise
with liquid chlorine; mix it immediately and thoroughly with the pool water.
2. Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the pool water separately. Thoroughly
dissolve each chemical before adding another one to the water.
3. An Intex pool skimmer and an Intex pool vacuum are available to assist in maintaining
clean pool water. See your pool dealer for these pool accessories.
4. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the pool.
REMEMBER TO
• Protect all pool occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the
pool water clean and sanitized. Do not swallow the pool water. Always practice
good hygiene.
• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from
the outside barrier of the pool.
• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other
serious injury.
