as a kit and is not designed to be dismantled. Check accessible nuts and bolts over the whole structure
regularly and carry out any necessary maintenance (tighten, treat rust, etc.).
The liner of the pool should not be subject to aggressions that could impair its leaktightness.
Over the course of its service life, it may be necessary to completely empty the pool. During this operation,
take all the measures necessary to avoid dangers (falls, slips, etc.). Avoid prolonging this period beyond
48 hours, in the case of in-ground or partially in-ground installations, pressure exerted by the ground may
cause deformation of the structure.
Failure to respect maintenance instructions may entail serious risks to health, especially that of children.

Winterizing the pool
The pool must not be left empty over the winter period (or for any prolonged period of time). In fact, the
liquid mass plays a dual role, it provides thermal insulation and acts as ballast, holding the liner in place
against the pool structure.
To winterize the pool:
•
carry out a prolonged filter backwash;
•
add an algaecide winterizing product if necessary and stop the pump;
•
lower the water level by 30 cm;
•
unscrew the ball-union-trim assembly and remove it, replace it with a plug. Insert a plug in the bottom
of the skimmer (plugs are supplied);
•
undo the bottom drain on the filter tank, this should only be replaced en the pool is reopened;
•
drain the pump by unscrewing the front face (suction connected to the skimmer);
•
unplug the pump and store it in a dry place, protected against freezing. .
In areas susceptible to freezing, screw a winterizing plug (gizmo) into the bottom of the skimmer to absorb
the expansion of ice and protect the skimmer. Remove any water treatment products from the skimmer
(Chlorine tablets, flocculent, etc.).
Keep the cover closed while the pool is winterized (rolled out over the pool).
TIP:
winterizing is not mandatory, especially if the weather is mild with temperatures that remain above
0°C. In this case; maintain the water level in the pool and run filtration 2 to 3 hours per day. Check the water
level in the pool regularly. In the case of significant freezing, run the filtration pump at least 30 minutes
every two hours.
