Filling Pool with Water
ATTENTION: Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
1. Fill pool until water capacity is 90%, DO NOT OVERFILL as this could cause the pool to collapse. In times of heavy
rainfall you may need to empty some of the water to ensure the level is correct. (See Fig. 11.12)
2. When filling the pool is completed, check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level.
IMPORTANT: If pool is not level, drain water and re-level ground by
digging out See Fig. 13). Never attempt to move the pool with water
in it, serious personal injury or damage to the pool may result.
WARNING:
Your pool may contain up to xxxxx liters/xxxx
gallons which equals xxxxx pounds of pressure. If your pool has any
bulge or uneven side then the pool is not level, the sides may burst
and the water may discharge suddenly causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to property.
3. Check pool for any leaks at valves or seams, check ground cloth for
any evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
NOTE: In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the Heavy-duty
repair patch provided. Refer to the FAQ's for further information.

Pool Maintenance
The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated
deterioration can lead to failure of the pool structure that might release large quantities of water that could cause bodily
harm and property damage.
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
NOTE: The filter pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles to keep your water free of suspended dirt
particles. In order to keep your pool water clean and hygienic you must add chemicals.
The following table lists the sequence of the tests that
should be carried out for the ideal values and possible
actions. Regularly check the pH value and chlorine
concentration weekly and adjust to the ideal values.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and
purchase of chemicals and pH kits.
2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users' feet before entering pool.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Change filter cartridge in filter pump every 2 weeks.
6. Gently clean any scum from the side with a clean cloth. Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
7. The bottom of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
ATTENTION: Do not use pump when pool is in use.
Repair
If your pool is damaged, use the repair patch. -See FAQ's for instructions.
Disassembly
1. Unscrew the drain valve cap on the outside of the pool counter clockwise and remove.
2. Connect the adaptor to the hose and put the other end of the hose in the area where you are going to drain your pool.
(Check local regulations for drainage by-laws).
3. Screw control ring of the hose adaptor onto the drain valve clockwise. The drain valve will be open and water will
start to drain automatically.

ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
Storage
1. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking together, fold pool carefully. If
pool is not completely dry, mould may result and will damage the pool liner.
2. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.
1. What is a suitable base for the Frame Set pool?
Almost any completely flat, solid, level surface can be used. Do not use sand as a leveling material as it is prone to
shifting under the pool. The ground should be dug out until it is perfectly level. Do not set up on driveways, decks,
platforms, gravel or asphalt. The ground should be firm enough to withstand the weight and pressure of the water:
mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable. A concrete base can be used but care should be taken not to drag
the pool across the surface as abrasions could tear the liner. If the pool is to be set up on a lawn, it is recommended
that the grass is removed from where the pool will sit as it will die and may cause odors / slime. Certain types of hardy
grass can grow through the liner as can aggressive bushes / plants by the side of the pool. Ensure adjacent vegetation
is cut back where necessary. Use of a ground cloth assists in protecting the base of the pool.
2. How will I know if my pool is set up on unleveled ground?
If your pool appears to be bulging on one side it is not set up on level ground. It is important that you empty your
pool and move the pool to a level site. If the pool is not on level ground it will place undue stress on the seams and
could result in the seams bursting which will cause flooding, property damage and potentially personal injury or death.
Fill your pool following the instructions in the owner's manual carefully. This will ensure that you do not waste water
and the pool can be moved easily so that the ground can be leveled at an appropriate time and not after you have
completely filled it with water.
3. Can I have my pool filled by a water service?
We recommend using a garden hose under low pressure for filling your pool. If it is necessary to use a water
delivery service, it is best to fill the pool with one inch of water by hose and smooth wrinkles first. Use a water service
that is able to regulate the flow of water to prevent damage. Ensure you stop at each step as noted in the instruction
manual to ensure your pool is level. Coleman will not be held responsible for pools damaged or weakened by water
delivery services.
4. What is the maximum fill height of the pool?
Fill pool until water capacity is 90% top rail. Never attempt to fill your pool beyond the base of the rail. We
recommend leaving extra room to account for water displacement when occupants are inside the pool. You may have
to top up the water during the season which has been lost through evaporation or normal use.
5. My pool is leaking, what do I do to fix it?
The pool does not need to be emptied to fix any holes. Self-adhesive underwater repair patches can be purchased
at your local pool / hardware store. For external use, use the repair patch provided. For internal holes, clean the hole
on the inside of the pool to wipe off any oils and algae. Cut a circle large enough to cover the hole and apply the patch
securely onto the side in the water. Cut a second patch and apply to the outside of the pool for extra strength. If the
hole is in the base of the pool use one patch only and weigh it down with a heavy object while it bonds. If you have
patched the pool when it is empty we recommend you leave it at least 12 hours before filling.
6. Where can I buy filter cartridges and how often should I change them?
Filter cartridges to fit your filter pump should be available from the store where you purchased your pool. If not, most
mass retailers sell filter cartridges as an accessory. If you are unable to obtain replacements please call our toll-free
number and we will assist you in finding a source local to you. The cartridges should be changed every 2 weeks
dependent upon use of the pool. Check the filter on a weekly basis and clean by hosing down any debris and
particles. Note: Ensure your pump is disconnected from the electrical supply before checking the filter cartridge.
7. How many times a year should I change the water?
This is dependant on the amount of use the pool receives, and the attention paid to covering the pool and keeping
chemicals properly balanced. If maintained correctly the water should last a full summer season. Please contact your
local pool chemical supplier for detailed information regarding chemicals, they will be able to advise you how to best
maintain the cleanliness of your water.
8. Do I need to take my pool down for the winter?
Yes, Above-ground pools may collapse under the weight of ice and snow and the PVC walls will be damaged. We
recommend taking the pool down when temperatures fall below 8ºC / 45ºF. The pool should be stored indoors in a
moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF. Please store away from chemicals and rodents and out
of the reach of children.
9. My pool is fading – why is that?
Excessive use of chemicals can cause the color of the inside of the liner to fade; this is similar to a swimsuit fading
over time from repeated contact with chlorinated water.
10. How many years will the pool last?
There is no set time limit for the pool to last; following the instructions in the owner's manual and with proper care,
maintenance and storage you can considerably increase the life of your pool. Improper set-up, use or care can result
in failure of the pool.
