» Before removing the horizontal beams from the pool liner, please make sure the pool is completely empty, and the vertical legs or U-shape side supports have been disassembled and removed from the beams.
During the removal of the legs and U-shape side supports, shake the vertical legs or U-shape side supports from the horizontal beams. This will reduce the tightness between sleeve and beams, therefore the horizontal beams can slide out easier.
1. Pull the sleeve from the holes on the sleeve, and try separating it from the beam. Repeat this along the sleeve. Don't use water or soap as it will cause a suction effect between the sleeve and the beam.
2. Grasp the beam edge and rotate the beam left and right (back and forth) while pulling the beam out. The left and right rotation will help facilitate the removal of the horizontal beam.
Next season, before setting up the pool, please spread some baby powder (do not use corn powder) over the horizontal beam during assembly which will make it easy to disassemble when you restore the pool.

» Water condition varies from country to country, states, region, and within specific zones and areas. In some regions the water could be "hard water", this is because the water contains excessive minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, thus causing the water to adopt a milky color. Check your local pool supply store for advice on water treatment and balance.
» Your pool can be easily emptied and stored in a safe place during the winter. However, many people choose to leave their pool up year round. In areas where freezing temperatures occur, there is risk of ice damage. It is recommended to drain, disassemble and store the pool in a safe place when temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. See "How To Drain Your Pool" section.
Clean pool water thoroughly (If Easy Set Pool make sure the top ring is properly inflated).
Remove the skimmer (if applicable) or any accessories attached to the threaded strainer connector. Replace strainer grid if necessary. Be sure all accessories parts are clean and completely dry before storage.
Plug the Inlet and Outlet fitting from the inside of the pool with the plug provided (sizes 10' and 12'). Close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve (15', 18', and 24').
Remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Be sure the ladder is completely dry before storage.
Remove the hoses that connect the pump and filter to the pool.
Add appropriate winter chemicals. Consult your local pool dealer as different regions vary greatly.
Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT: INTEX POOL COVER IS NOT A SAFETY COVER.
Clean and drain pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard old filter cartridge (keep a spare cartridge available for next season).
Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably heated.
STORING POOL FOR WINTER
After draining pool, dry pool liner completely (100%). Sprinkle talcum powder on liner to prevent vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any water you may have missed.
Roll pool liner to avoid creases and relocate to storage area. Place it in original carton if you saved it.
Keep all small parts together with filter pump, manual, and pool, and then place in an area that will remain at room temperature throughout the storage season.
» No. Sand has a tendency to shift, therefore causing the pool to lean to one side and creating stress on the pool frame. The legs of the pool will also sink into the sand and the pool will become unstable and possibly collapse causing personal injury or property damage.
» Excessive use of pool chemicals can cause the color of the inside wall printing to fade away faster, like a heavy chlorinated public swimming will cause a bathing suit color to fade
» Yes. Contact your local pool supply store for information on water treatment and provide the estimated number of gallons of water in your pool. Also the INTEX Krystal Clear™ Saltwater Systems will keep your pool clean from algae and bacteria.
» A flat, solid level, stable surface is needed and all sharp objects must be removed from the area. A ground cloth or tarp should be placed under the pool prior to setting it up. Also, the pool location must allow you to secure all doors and windows and safety barriers to prevent unauthorized, unintentional, or unsupervised pool entry. The pool requires at least 4 feet of space all the way around from objects that a child could climb to gain access to the pool.
» When the pool frame is completely assembled, the pool side walls and frame structure will lean inward. Make sure there are no wrinkles on the floor of the pool and that you have pulled the bottoms of the side supports out away from the liner to make the straps taut. As the pool is filled with water, the pool sides and frame will slowly move outward to where the pool sides and frame are vertical. Do not be concerned if the sides move further inward in the early stages of filling the pool: the pressure exerted by the water when the pool is completely full will push the sides out to their proper alignment.
» Yes, in some cases certain types of hardy grass such as Bermuda or St. Augustine can grow through the liner. Before setting up your pool, it is recommended that you clear the area of these types of hardy grasses. INTEX will not be held responsible for grasses that may grow through the ground cloth and / or pool liner, as this is not a manufacturing defect. A ground cloth or tarp may be helpful in preventing this from occurring.
» Yes, as long as the pool location allows you to secure all doors and windows. A ground cloth placed under the pool is highly recommended. Do not drag liner across concrete as abrasions may cause holes. Surface must be flat, level and stable.
» A PVC or silicon based glue for repairing camping mats, tents, shoes, inflatable boats, etc are suitable for INTEX pools.

» it depends on usage and chemical balance. If it is properly filtered and chemically balanced, it should last through the summer season. You can reduce the need for water changes by keeping your pool covered when not in use, testing the water regularly to ensure proper chemical balance, operating the pump for an adequate number of hours each day, keeping the filter pump cartridge clean, and replacing the cartridge when needed.

» With two adults setting up the pool, have one person hold up the liner while the second person slides the metal beams through liner sleeves.
» The ground is not totally level. If this is the only area to set up the pool then a level must be used. The pool must be re-leveled and if the ground is not concrete such as asphalt, lawn or earth, you must place a piece of either pressure treated wood or concrete bricks, size 15” x 15” x 1.2”, under each leg flush with the ground. The u-shaped side supports must be placed in the center of the pressure treated wood with the wood grain perpendicular to the leg support.

» It depends on where you live. It is not recommended to keep your pool up if your temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The pool may freeze, and cracking could occur in the pools liner.
» The pump and filter alone will not prevent algae from growing in pool water. This can only been done by maintaining proper chlorine and pH levels at all time. Purchase an INTEX Krystal Clear™ Saltwater System or check your local pool supply stores for further information.
» With 2 adults, it is best to put the frame together starting with one end, pinning the side supports in the corners first, and then proceeding to pin the beams one side at a time.

» Excessive or concentrated chemicals may cause damage to any pool and to the user.
» Mild soap and water. Thoroughly rinse the pool and make sure it is dry before storing.
» Two or more hours, depending on pool size, hose size and water pressure. Remember to observe the fill up process for several minutes to make sure that the pool is filling evenly and the water surface is level inside the pool.
» No. Under no circumstances should anyone jump or dive into the pool. INTEX does not distribute any pools that are deep enough to allow such activity. Serious injury, paralysis or death could result from failure to follow these rules.

Recommended items are (but not limited to) an approved ring buoy with reinforced rope, a standard first aid kit, a blunt ended metal or hard plastic rescue pole, emergency telephone numbers of local authorities, and emergency procedure information.
» Make sure the ground where you place the pool is level. A sloping area may cause the poles to slide out and break away from the seal of the rope patch, or the pool liner.
» Pull the bottoms of the side supports out away from the liner to make the straps taut. Also, before filling be sure the top beams of the pool are completely level. (See previous question).
