WARNING! The mini-pool must be within
reach of a 230/240 volt mains connection
protected by a circuit breaker operated by
residual current (FI circuit breaker). The product
must be set up at a minimum distance of 2
metres from the power source but no further than
the length of the filter pump cord. Under no
circumstances may an extension cable be used
to extend the range for connection.
Comply with the following instructions before
you set the product up.
1. Select a suitable surface that is firm, flat (no
humps or mounds), and completely level.
There may not be a slope of more than 3° at
any point on the set-up site.
2. Make sure that the site is free from branch-
es, stones, sharp-edged and other foreign
objects so that the product does not become
damaged.
3. Select a location where the product will not
be beneath power cables or trees. Take care
also that there are no underground pipes,
supply lines, or cables on the site.
4. Insofar as possible, select a location where
your product will be in direct sunlight. This will
heat up the water in the pool.
Assembling the mini-pool
At least two people should assemble
the product. You will need around 30 minutes
just for the assembly, not including site prepa-
ration and filling up with water. Contact the
Service Hotline if you have any questions or
need assistance with the assembly.
Follow the individual assembly steps in the order
indicated.
1. Select a smooth and clean surface with
enough space to unpack the product. Check
that all individual parts are present and in
good order and condition.
2. When assembling the product for the second
and subsequent times, you should inspect it for
any possible damage, holes, and tears, and
these should be sealed as described later.
3. It is recommended that you do not fill the
mini-pool with groundwater, water obtained
from drilling, or from wells: typically, such wa-
ter contains organic substances contaminated
with nitrates and phosphates. You are advised
to fill the mini-pool with water from the public
drinking water supply.
Setting up the mini-pool
Assemble the product as shown in figs. C-E.
Filling the product with water
WARNING. If more than 2.5-5cm of water
collects on one side before the middle has filled
up, the swimming pool is standing unevenly and
has to be positioned correctly. To do this, pull the
outflow plug (1b) out and let the water drain off
completely. Disassemble the swimming pool and
erect it at a different, even location.
1. Close the outflow plug (1b), screw the valve
cover (1a) onto the outflow valve (fig. B), and
close the filter pump valves (1c) with the plas-
tic stoppers (13) on the inside of the pool. Fill
the product with water slowly. Do not leave
the product unattended while filling.
Note: Fill the product fully up to the printed
marking shown.
2. Once 2.5cm of water is spread uniformly over
the floor of the swimming pool, smooth out the
floor. Pull out the outer wall from the upper
edge all around the floor of the mini-pool.
Impact of water quality
To keep the coating performing efficiently, and for
aesthetic considerations, appropriate treatment
procedures and/or recommendations of the
pool manufacturer should be applied in a timely
manner. It is essential that you read the manufac-
turer's product instructions and instructions for use
before application in order to check that they are
compatible with the top layer of the polyester skin.
These products and procedures must correspond
to the recommendations made herein.
Although the water used for filling generally
comes from the public drinking water network, it
can also come from a drill hole, tank, or well.
In such case, a regular analysis of the water,
including physical-chemical analysis, is vital
in order to verify the possible presence of any
metals (iron, copper, manganese) that may
have a negative impact on the top layer, as
there is a risk that colour stains will form due to
metal sulphides. An analysis is the basis for the
approaches required in order to ensure good
quality of water for bathing as well as stability of
the top layer. This quality analysis of the water
used for filling must be assessed and approved
by the mini-pool manufacturer.
However, the tartaric stabilisation and/or the
formation of metals must be avoided. It is rec-
ommended to use calcium sequestering agents
(lime scale remover or descaler) and sequester-
ing agents for metal ions for this purpose.
WARNING. Calcium sequestering agents (lime
scale remover or descaler) and sequestering
agents for metal ions often contain phosphorus
or phosphorous bonding agents that can cause
or promote the growth of algae and/or can
have an influence on measurements (of free chlo-
rine, redox potential) with online devices. For
this reason, when measuring with online systems,
preference should be given to ion exchangers
and/or metal filters in the water line (before
water runs into the pool).
The use of products and/or treatment process-
es must be validated by a professional, since
irreversible damage could occur to the surface
layer in particular combinations.
When disinfecting with the aid of products
based on stabilised chlorine or of stabilisers
only, the dosage recommended by the manufac-
turer (which should be in accordance with "EN
16713- 3") must be applied. Renewing water
after a purifier/purge filter must make it possible
to prevent a concentration of cyanuric acid of
more than 75mg/l.
Otherwise a reduction of (at least) 30% in the
mini-pool volume is required so as not to dam-
age the surface layer.
Follow the instructions provided by the manufac-
turer for winter storage. No shock disinfection
may be performed shortly before covering up
the mini-pool because within 8 hours of disin-
fecting there is a risk of chemical damage to the
coating of the mini-pool.
Accessibility
WARNING!
Never leave your child unattended – Risk of
drowning.
A competent adult must provide constant, active,
and attentive supervision of weak and non-swim-
mers at all times. (You are reminded that the
greatest risk
of drowning is among children under 5 years of
age).
Keep a telephone or another means of communi-
cation ready near the pool to give information to
emergency services if needed.
Even when the pool is not in use the following
steps must be considered:
• Make the mini-pool inaccessible to the extent
possible (e.g. by locking doors, windows, and
access routes to the swimming pool; and/or
• by installing a protective device; and/or
• by emptying the mini-pool.
Disassembling the mini-pool
WARNING. When draining the water make
sure that there are no children downstream and
opposite the outflow. The water flow might carry
the children away with it.
To store the product at season's end or for a
lengthy period of non-use, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the filter pump (7) from the power
source.
2. Connect your garden hose with the hose
adapter, open the outflow plug (1b), and
place the other end of the hose where the
water can drain off harmlessly.
Note: Please follow the local regula-
tions regarding specific requirements
for disposing of water from swimming
pools.
3. Disconnect the hoses of the filter pump (7)
from the mini-pool.
4. Let the mini-pool dry out completely. This is
best done in the sun.
5. Close all valves before you fold up the
mini-pool.
Care, storage, repairs,
maintenance
Care
WARNING!
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, brushes
with metal bristles, or sharp-edged or metallic
objects such as knives. Use only mild detergent.
WARNING. The purpose of the filter pump (7)
included in delivery is to remove dirt and small
particles from the water. However a consistent
chemical water treatment is required for clean
water free of algae and harmful bacteria. Ask a
specialist retailer about materials to use, such as
chlorine, shock treatments, algaecides, and other
chemicals.
WARNING. Never add chemicals to the mi-
ni-pool when people are inside. This can cause
skin and eye irritations! Never add chemicals
or substances to the mini-pool if you cannot
verify their correct use. Ask a specialist retailer
regarding what chemicals to use, their guidelines
and instructions.
