POOL SETUP (continued)
• Next slide the vertical legs into the belt loop
located in the middle of the pool liner.
The bottom of the leg should be inside the white
restraining rope (9) (optional) located near the liner’s
bottom edge. Exceptions are the 10' (305cm)
and 12' (366cm) size pools. Carefully slide the leg into
the belt loop and place the leg’s bottom inside the rope
and then insert the top of the leg into the bottom of the
joint. Snap this leg into joint’s holes by aligning the
holes and the spring-loaded pin. Attach the leg’s end
cap (5) to the bottom of the leg (see drawings 3.1 & 3.2).
• Upon connecting the last leg, grab hold of the frame pool’s top
beams in 2 – 3 locations. Shake the pool to be sure that all the
joints, legs and beams fit into each other. Ensure that all pins are
in position by pushing them downwards through the holes (see
drawing 4.1).
• Pull gently, in an outward direction, the bottom of each leg; making sure the leg is inside
the restraining rope. The leg is to end up in an upright vertical position.
3. Filling of the pool
• The following applies to pool liners with hose connectors (16' (488 cm) & below pools). If
the pool was purchased without a filter pump, insert two of the three plugs (11) into the
black filter pump outlets. Do this from the inside of the pool so that water will not run out
when filling it.
If the pool was purchased with a filter pump, read the Krystal Clear™ Filter Pump
Manual first and then proceed to next installation step.
• Before filling the pool with water, ensure that the drain plug inside the pool is closed and
that the drain cap on the outside is screwed on tightly. Fill the pool with no more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) of water. Check to see whether the water is level.
IMPORTANT: If the water in the pool flows to one side, the pool is not completely
level. Setting up the pool on unlevel ground will cause the pool to tilt resulting in
the sidewall material bulging and a potential collapse of the pool. If the pool is not
completely level, you must drain the pool, level the area or move the pool to a
different area that is level, and re-fill the pool, following the above directions.
• Smooth out the bottom liner wrinkles (from inside the pool) by pushing out where the pool
floor and pool sides meet. Or, (from outside pool) reach under the side of the pool,
grasp the pool floor and pull in an outward direction. If the ground cloth is causing the
wrinkles, have 2 adults pull from opposite sides to remove all wrinkles. Use the properly
assembled pool ladder when entering or exiting the pool during this process.
• Fill the pool with water up to just below the
sleeve line. (see drawing 4.2).
4. Posting aquatic safety signs
Select a highly visible area near the pool to
post the Danger No Diving or Jumping sign
included later in this manual.

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.
