Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground,
aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in)
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical
clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on the side of the barrier
which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of
the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground
pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool
structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and
tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such
as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates
should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other
than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching
device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground,
aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in)
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical
clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on the side of the barrier
which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of
the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground
pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool
structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and
tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such
as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates
should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other
than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching
device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.
Do not assemble on soft lawn. If you must assemble the pool on a soft surface, timber boards
(not included) must be placed under the feet of the vertical supports to spread the load. The
thickness of the timber boards must not exceed 2 cm (0.8 in).

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground,
aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in)
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical
clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on the side of the barrier
which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of
the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground
pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool
structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and
tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such
as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates
should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other
than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching
device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds,
such as smoke alarms, telephones, and door bells. The
alarm should automatically reset under all conditions. The
alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as
touchpads or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm
for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such
deactivation should last for no more than 15 seconds. The
deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at
least 137 cm (54 in) above the threshold of the door.
(b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover
which complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
(c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors
with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the
degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection
afforded by (a) or (b) described above.
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier
or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure,
and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the
ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being
secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the
ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier which
meets Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 9. When the ladder
or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening
created should not allow the passage of a 10 cm (4 in)

or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure,
and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the
ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being
secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the
ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier which
meets Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 9. When the ladder
or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening
created should not allow the passage of a 10 cm (4 in)
diameter sphere.
Section II: Barrier Locations
Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent
structures, equipment or similar objects from being used to
climb the barriers.
Only for outdoor use.
Teach your children to swim.
Never dive, jump, or slide into the pool.
Adult supervision is always required.
Parents should learn CPR.
Never swim alone.
Keep all electrical radios, speakers and other appliances away
from the swimming pool.
When you touch the filter, pump, or electrical parts, be sure the
ground under your feet is “Bone Dry.”
All electrical outlets should have a GFCI and connections
should be a minimum of 152 cm (5 ft) from the outside
perimeter of the wall of the pool. From 152-305 cm (5-10 ft),
there should be either a fixed connection (outlet box) or
twistlock connection with a GFCI.
Connect power cords to a 3-wire grounding-type outlet only.
Keep all breakable objects out of the pool area.
Alcohol consumption and pool activities do not mix. Never allow
anyone to swim, dive or slide under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Severe electrical shock could result if you install your pump or
filter on a deck. The pump or filter could fall into the water,
causing severe shock or electrocution. Do not install on a deck or
other surface at, above, or slightly below the top rail of the pool.
Do not use the pool during severe weather conditions, i.e.
electrical storms, tornadoes, etc.
Be aware of overhead power lines when vacuuming your pool
or using a telescoping pole.
Do not allow diving, climbing, sitting, or standing on the top rails
Prevent Young Children From Drowning:
Install fencing or approved barrier around all sides of pool.
State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other
approved barriers.
Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to
supervise pool and wear provided water watcher tag.
Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool
and when you are filling and emptying pool.
When searching for a missing child, check pool first, even if you
think your child is in the house.
Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and
draining of the pool. Maintain constant supervision of children
and do not remove any safety barriers until the pool is
completely empty and stowed away.
Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as
described in CPSC Publication No.362.
Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the
pool. Give this person a “water watcher” tag and ask that they
wear it the entire time they are in charge of supervising children
in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask this person
to pass the “water watcher” tag and the supervision
responsibility to another adult.
Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot
climb on them to gain access to pool.
If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder's manual for
instructions.
If you have a pump, refer to the pump's manual for instructions.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool:
Remove pool ladders before leaving pool. Toddlers can climb
ladder and get into pool.
Position furniture away from pool so that children cannot climb
and gain access to pool.
When leaving pool, remove floats and toys from pool that might
attract a child.
Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency:
Keep a working phone and list of emergency numbers near
pool.
Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you
can respond to an emergency.
Electrocution Risk:
Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical
devices away from pool.
Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
Suction Risk:
Replacement pump should never exceed the maximum flow
rate marked on the suction fitting.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground,
aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in)
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical
clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on the side of the barrier
which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of
the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground
pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool
structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and
tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such
as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates
should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other
than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching
device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
INSTALLATION
Installation usually takes approximately 20-30 minutes with 2-3
people excluding earthworks and filling.
Assembly of the Frame Pool can be completed without tools. To
lengthen the life of your pool, it is important to sprinkle the top
rail with the Talcum Powder before assembly. Talcum Powder
is not included and easily available in the market.
Bestway will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool
due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
1. Lay out all parts and check that you have the correct

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground,
aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in)
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical
clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on the side of the barrier
which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of
the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground
pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool
structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and
tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such
as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates
should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other
than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching
device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
IMPORTANT: Don't use granulate tablets or throw the tablet directly in the water. The chemicals can deposit on the
bottom, damage the material and discolor the PVC.
Using chemical liquid (not included):
IMPORTANT: Add chemical liquid in small doses and in the center of the pool to avoid direct contact between the
chemicals and the PVC surface. Direct contact can damage the material and discolor the surface.
NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from pool when the pool is in use.
IMPORTANT: After performing chemical maintenance and before using the pool, use a test kit (not included) to test the
water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water according to the following table.
AB
CONNECTION VALVE ASSEMBLY
For pool with connection valve
NOTE: If you want to connect other pool cleaning kits to
the pool through the connection valve, disassemble the Debris
Screen from the Connector.
FILLING POOL WITH WATER
ATTENTION: Do not leave pool unattended while
filling with water.
1.
Fill the pool until the water reaches the welding line located
12 cm - 20 cm (4.7 in-7.9 in) from the top of the pool. 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.
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
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.
POOL MAINTENANCE
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
Using chemical tablets (not included):
NOTE: Chemconnect or Chemical Floater must be used when you perform chemical maintenance with tablets. Your purchased
item may not include any of those dispensers, in this case you can purchase it by visiting our website www.bestwaycorp.com or at the
nearest pool dealer.
and re-level ground by digging out. 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 a great deal 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 any
evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been
done.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground,
aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in)
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical
clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on the side of the barrier
which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of
the pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground
pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool
structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and
tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such
as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates
should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other
than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching
device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and
should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical
containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the
chemical manufacturer's instructions. Pool damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of pool water is not
covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Over usage of chemicals can discolor the printing and all points of the pool material. It can also damage
the structure of the pool liner.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of chemicals and pH kits. One of the most important factors to
increase the life of the liner is to keep continuously clean and healthy water. Please strictly follow the instructions from professional
technicians for the water treatment through the use of chemicals.
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. Check and wash the filter cartridge regularly.
6. Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.
7. Please be careful in case of rain water, kindly check that the water level is not higher than the expected. If so, YOU HAVE TO
DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER.
8. If it rains, check that the water level is not higher than the specified level. If water exceeds the specified levels, drain the pool to the
specified level.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
During the season of use of the swimming pool, the filtration system must be necessarily put into service every day, enough time to
assure at least a complete renewal of the volume of water.
NOTE: The pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles. In order to keep your pool water clean and
hygienic, you must also add chemicals.
REPAIR
In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch provided. You can find the instructions in FAQs on
the support section of our website, www.bestwaycorp.com.
DISMANTLING
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 the control ring of the hose adaptor clockwise onto the drain valve. The drain valve will be open and water will start to drain
automatically.
ATTENTION: Water flow can be controlled with the control ring.
4. When draining is finished, unscrew the control ring to close the valve.
5. Disconnect the hose.
6. Screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
7. Air dry pool.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
STORAGE
1. Please remove all the accessories and spare parts of the pool and store them clean and dry.
2. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking together, fold pool carefully. If pool is not
completely dry, mold may result and will damage the pool liner.
3. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.
4. During the rainy season, pool and accessories should be stored as per above instructions also.
5. Improper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
6.
We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled during the off season (winter months). Store in a dry location out of children’s reach.

附註：若購買的泳池組並無任何的循環系統，可另外
訂購。但請務必確保該設備每12小時能夠至少將總容量的泳
池水進行一次循環。可以檢查包裝上的水容量以選擇合適的
循環系統。提供作為水循環的泵浦，應經過國家認可測試實
驗室（Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory）的測
試並認證符合UL1081規範。
為能避免發現吸陷的狀況，也應確認所選的與泵浦一同出售
之抽水口，亦經國家認可測試實驗室測試，並認證符合
ASME/ANSI A112.19.8或其接替的標準ANSI/APSP-16。
附註：與當地的市議會確認，地方法規中有關於圍籬、
柵欄、照明及安全等規定，並確認符合所有的法規。
附註：若有過濾泵浦，應參考泵浦使用手冊的說明指
示。
附註：扶梯應搭配泳池的尺寸，並只能作為進出泳池之
用。禁止超出扶梯許可的負荷量。定期地檢查扶梯是否已正確

泳池安裝時的表面必須遵守以下的技術特性進行選擇。
1. 因為泳池的水以及使用者加總的重量，選擇安裝泳池的表
面足以全程均勻地支撐泳池安裝後的重量，是極為重要的
事。選擇安裝表面時，應將泳池在使用時水會溢流或是下
雨的狀況列入考量。若水使得表面變軟，則會失去其支撐
泳池重量的能力。
2. 定期地檢查垂直支架以及U型支撐的位置。它們應該隨時與
泳池底部處於相同高度。若垂直支架或U型支撐開始陷入地
面，應立即將水排出以免泳池因支架結構的載重不均勻而
倒塌。應該改變泳池的安裝位置或是變更表面材質。
3. 我們建議泳池的裝設位置應遠離所有物品，以免孩童藉由
該物品攀爬進入泳池。
4. 將泳池設置在靠近適當的排水系統處，以便處理溢出的水
流或是泳池排放的水量。
5. 表面必須平順。若表面傾斜或不平均，會造成泳池結構的
載重不均勻。此狀況會使襯墊的熔接點損壞並會使支架彎
曲。最壞的情況是，泳池可能會倒塌、造成嚴重的人身傷
害以及 / 或個人財產的損失。
6. 選定的表面必須無任何類型的物體。因為水的重量，會使
得泳池下方的任何物體有可能損壞或刺穿泳池底部。
7. 選定的表面必須將生長力旺盛的植物以及雜草物種清除
乾淨。此類生長力強的植被，可能穿過襯墊生長而形成
漏水。草或是其他植被可能會產生臭氣或生成污泥，必
須從安裝的位置處予以清除。
8. 選定的表面不可在架空的電線或樹木下方。務必確認安裝位
置並未有地底的設施輸送管、線路或是任何種類的電纜。
9. 選定的位置必須遠離住家門口。請勿將任何設備或其他家
具擺放在泳池的周圍。使用時從泳池所流出的水或是某一
產品故障會造成住家內或是泳池周圍的家具損壞。
10. 選定的表面必須平整且沒有會損壞襯墊材質的孔洞。
依照以上的重要說明選擇裝設游泳池的正確表面及位置。實際
是因裝設表面及位置未能符合指示說明而造成游泳池的零件受
損，將不被認定為製造商之瑕疵並會撤銷保固及任何維修服務
之要求。
建議的安裝表面：草坪、地面、水泥地以及能遵守以上裝設條
件的所有其他表面。
不建議的安裝表面：淤泥、沙、碎石、露臺、陽臺、車道、平
臺、鬆軟 / 鬆散的土壤或是其他無法與以上裝設條件相符的表
面。

SELECCIONE LA UBICACIÓN
CORRECTA
La superficie elegida para instalar la piscina debe respetar las
siguientes características técnicas:
1. Debido al peso combinado del agua del interior de la piscina y los
usuarios de la misma, es extremadamente importante que la
superficie elegida para instalar la piscina sea capaz de soportar
uniformemente el peso total durante todo el tiempo que la piscina
esté instalada. Al elegir la superficie, tenga en cuenta que el agua
puede salir de la piscina, cuando está en uso o bajo la lluvia. Si el
agua ablanda la superficie, puede perder su capacidad para
soportar el peso de la piscina.
2. Compruebe periódicamente la posición de las patas verticales y
los soportes en forma de U. Deben permanecer al mismo nivel que
el fondo de la piscina en todo momento. Si la pata vertical o el
soporte en forma de U comienza a hundirse en el suelo, drene el
agua inmediatamente para evitar que la piscina se derrumbe
debido a una carga desigual soportada por la estructura tubular.
Cambie la ubicación de la piscina o modifique el material de la
superficie.
3. Recomendamos colocar la piscina lejos de cualquier objeto que los
niños puedan usar para meterse en la piscina.
4. Coloque la piscina cerca de un sistema de drenaje adecuado para
hacer frente al desbordamiento o para vaciar la piscina.
5. La superficie debe ser plana y lisa. Si la superficie está inclinada o
irregular, puede crear una carga desequilibrada en la estructura de
la piscina. Esta situación puede dañar el punto de soldadura del
liner y doblar la estructura. En el peor de los casos, la piscina
puede colapsar, causando lesiones personales graves y / o daños
a la propiedad.
6. La superficie seleccionada debe estar libre de cualquier tipo de
objeto. Debido al peso del agua, cualquier objeto debajo de la
piscina podría dañar o perforar el fondo de la piscina.
7. La superficie seleccionada debe estar libre de plantas agresivas y
especies de malezas. Ese tipo de vegetación fuerte podría crecer
a través del revestimiento y crear fugas de agua. La hierba u otra
vegetación que pueda causar la formación de olores o lodos
deben eliminarse del lugar de instalación.
8. La ubicación seleccionada no debe tener líneas eléctricas aéreas
ni árboles. Asegúrese de que la ubicación no contenga tuberías,
líneas o cables subterráneos de servicios públicos de ningún tipo.
9. La posición seleccionada debe estar lejos de la entrada de la casa.
No coloque ningún equipo u otro mobiliario alrededor de la piscina.
El agua que sale de la piscina durante el uso o por efecto de un
producto defectuoso puede dañar los muebles del interior de la
casa o del entorno de la piscina.
10. La superficie seleccionada debe ser plana y sin agujeros que
puedan dañar el material del liner.
Siga las importantes instrucciones anteriores para elegir la superficie y
la ubicación correctas para configurar su piscina. Las piezas que
puedan dañarse de la piscina, debido a que la superficie de montaje y
la ubicación no coinciden con las instrucciones, no se considerarán
defectos de fabricación y no tendrán cubierta la garantía no
procediendo el reclamo de servicio posventa.
Superficies de montaje sugeridas: césped, hormigón y todas las
demás superficies que respeten las condiciones de montaje
anteriores.
Superficies no sugeridas: barro, arena, grava, terrazas, balcones,
camino de entrada, plataforma, suelo blando / suelto u otra superficie
que no cumpla con las condiciones de configuración anteriores.
NOTA: Consulte con su ayuntamiento local los estatutos
relacionados con cercas, barreras, iluminación y requisitos de
seguridad y asegúrese de cumplir con todas las leyes.
NOTA: Si tiene una bomba de filtrado, consulte el manual de
la bomba para obtener instrucciones.
NOTA: La escalera debe coincidir con el tamaño de la piscina
y debe usarse solo para entrar y salir de la piscina. Está prohibido
exceder la carga útil permitida de la escalera. Compruebe con
regularidad si la escalera está correctamente ensamblada.

estas no debe exceder las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) de ancho.
5. Si la barrera se compone tanto de partes verticales como
horizontales y la distancia entre las partes superiores de las partes
horizontales es igual o superior a 114 cm (45 in) el espacio entre
las partes verticales no debe exceder las 10 cm (4 in). Si hay
aperturas decorativas, el espacio de estas no debe exceder las
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) de ancho.
6. El espacio máximo de la malla de las vallas de red no debe
exceder las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) cuadradas, a menos que la valla
cuente con listones asegurados a la parte superior o inferior, lo que
reduce las aperturas a no más de 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Si la barrera está compuesta por partes diagonales, como en el
caso de enrejados, la apertura máxima creada por las partes
diagonales no debe superar las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
8. Las puertas de acceso a la piscina deben ser conformes a la
Sección I, párrafos del 1 al 7, y deben estar equipadas para poder
alojar un dispositivo de cierre. Las puertas de acceso a pie deben
abrirse hacia afuera, lejos de la piscina, y deben tener un sistema
de cierre y un dispositivo de bloqueo. Las otras puertas de acceso
deben contar con un dispositivo de cierre con bloqueo automático.
Si el mecanismo de apertura del dispositivo de cierre con bloqueo
automático está colocado a menos de 137 cm (54 in) de la parte
inferior de la puerta, (a) el mecanismo de apertura debe colocarse
en el lado de la puerta que da a la piscina por lo menos 7.5 cm
(3 in) por debajo de la parte superior de la puerta y (b) la puerta y
la barrera no deben tener una apertura que supere la 1.3 cm
(1/2 in) en un diámetro de 45.7 cm (18 in) alrededor del
mecanismo de apertura.
9. Si se utiliza una de las paredes de una vivienda como parte de la
barrera:
(a) Todas las puertas con acceso directo a la piscina a través de
esta pared deben equiparse con una alarma que produzca un
aviso audible cuando la puerta y su pantalla, si la hubiera, se
abren. La alarma debe sonar de manera continua durante por lo
menos 30 segundos en los 7 segundos posteriores a la apertura
de la puerta. Las alarmas deben cumplir los requisitos de la norma
UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Sección
77. La alarma debe tener un nivel de presión acústica de 85 dBA a
305 cm (10 ft), y el sonido de la alarma debe ser claramente
diferente al de otros sonidos domésticos, como alarmas de humos,
teléfonos y timbres. La alarma debe restablecerse
automáticamente en cualquier circunstancia. La alarma debe
contar con medios manuales, como teclados táctiles o
interruptores, para poder desactivar la alarma en caso de una
apertura aislada de la puerta en cualquier dirección. Esta
desactivación no debe durar más de 15 segundos. Los
interruptores o teclados para desactivar la alarma deben colocarse
por lo menos a 137 cm (54 in) por encima del umbral de la puerta.
(b) La piscina debe estar equipada con una cubierta de seguridad
que cumpla con las normativas ASTM F1346-91 señaladas más
abajo.
(c) Otras medidas de protección, como las puertas con cierre
automático con dispositivos de bloqueo automático, son
aceptables siempre que el nivel de protección proporcionado no
sea inferior al proporcionado por (a) o (b) descritos anteriormente.
10. Si se utiliza la estructura de una piscina elevada como barrera o si
la barrera está montada en la parte superior de la estructura de la
piscina, y los medios de acceso son escalerillas o escalones,
entonces (a) la escalerilla o los escalones de acceso a la piscina
deben poder asegurarse, bloquearse o retirarse para evitar el
acceso, o (b) la escalerilla o los escalones deben rodearse con
una barrera que cumpla con los requisitos de la Sección I, Párrafos
del 1 al 9. Si la escalerilla o los escalones están asegurados,
bloqueados, o han sido retirados, cualquier apertura creada en
consecuencia no debe superar las 10 cm (4 in) de diámetro.

Las barreras deben colocarse de manera que impidan el uso de
estructuras, equipos u objetos similares como medio para saltar las
barreras.
Solo para uso en exteriores.
Enseñe a los niños a nadar.
Prohibido tirarse de cabeza, saltar o deslizarse hacia el interior de la
piscina.
Se requiere la supervisión constante de un adulto.
Los padres y madres deberían aprender a realizar la RCP.
Nunca nade solo.
Mantenga todos los aparatos eléctricos, como radios o altavoces,
alejados de la piscina.
Al tocar el filtro, la bomba o los componentes eléctricos, asegúrese de
que el suelo bajo sus pies esté completamente seco.
Todas las tomas eléctricas deberían contar con una protección GFCI
(interruptor del circuito de fallos de conexión a tierra) y las conexiones
deben situarse a una distancia mínima de 152 cm (5 ft) respecto al
perímetro exterior de la pared de la piscina. A una distancia de
152 cm-305 cm (5-10 ft) , debe existir o bien una conexión fija (caja de
distribución) o una conexión con pestillo giratorio de anclaje con
protección GFCI.
Conecte los cables de alimentación únicamente a un enchufe de
3 hilos con toma de tierra.
Mantenga todos aquellos objetos frágiles alejados de la zona de la
piscina.
El consumo de alcohol y las actividades en la piscina son
incompatibles. No permita que nadie nade, se tire de cabeza o se
deslice en el agua si se encuentra bajo los efectos del alcohol o las
drogas.
Si instala la bomba o el filtro sobre una plataforma, existe riesgo de
una descarga eléctrica grave. La bomba/ el filtro podría caer al agua,
provocando una descarga eléctrica grave o un accidente por
electrocución. No realice la instalación sobre una plataforma o sobre
cualquier superficie que se encuentre a la misma altura, a una altura
superior o a una altura ligeramente inferior respecto al riel superior de
la piscina.
No utilice la piscina en condiciones climáticas adversas, como

SELECCIONE LA UBICACIÓN
CORRECTA
La superficie elegida para instalar la piscina debe respetar las
siguientes características técnicas:
1. Debido al peso combinado del agua del interior de la piscina y los
usuarios de la misma, es extremadamente importante que la
superficie elegida para instalar la piscina sea capaz de soportar
uniformemente el peso total durante todo el tiempo que la piscina
esté instalada. Al elegir la superficie, tenga en cuenta que el agua
puede salir de la piscina, cuando está en uso o bajo la lluvia. Si el
agua ablanda la superficie, puede perder su capacidad para
soportar el peso de la piscina.
2. Compruebe periódicamente la posición de las patas verticales y
los soportes en forma de U. Deben permanecer al mismo nivel que
el fondo de la piscina en todo momento. Si la pata vertical o el
soporte en forma de U comienza a hundirse en el suelo, drene el
agua inmediatamente para evitar que la piscina se derrumbe
debido a una carga desigual soportada por la estructura tubular.
Cambie la ubicación de la piscina o modifique el material de la
superficie.
3. Recomendamos colocar la piscina lejos de cualquier objeto que los
niños puedan usar para meterse en la piscina.
4. Coloque la piscina cerca de un sistema de drenaje adecuado para
hacer frente al desbordamiento o para vaciar la piscina.
5. La superficie debe ser plana y lisa. Si la superficie está inclinada o
irregular, puede crear una carga desequilibrada en la estructura de
la piscina. Esta situación puede dañar el punto de soldadura del
liner y doblar la estructura. En el peor de los casos, la piscina
puede colapsar, causando lesiones personales graves y / o daños
a la propiedad.
6. La superficie seleccionada debe estar libre de cualquier tipo de
objeto. Debido al peso del agua, cualquier objeto debajo de la
piscina podría dañar o perforar el fondo de la piscina.
7. La superficie seleccionada debe estar libre de plantas agresivas y
especies de malezas. Ese tipo de vegetación fuerte podría crecer
a través del revestimiento y crear fugas de agua. La hierba u otra
vegetación que pueda causar la formación de olores o lodos
deben eliminarse del lugar de instalación.
8. La ubicación seleccionada no debe tener líneas eléctricas aéreas
ni árboles. Asegúrese de que la ubicación no contenga tuberías,
líneas o cables subterráneos de servicios públicos de ningún tipo.
9. La posición seleccionada debe estar lejos de la entrada de la casa.
No coloque ningún equipo u otro mobiliario alrededor de la piscina.
El agua que sale de la piscina durante el uso o por efecto de un
producto defectuoso puede dañar los muebles del interior de la
casa o del entorno de la piscina.
10. La superficie seleccionada debe ser plana y sin agujeros que
puedan dañar el material del liner.
Siga las importantes instrucciones anteriores para elegir la superficie y
la ubicación correctas para configurar su piscina. Las piezas que
puedan dañarse de la piscina, debido a que la superficie de montaje y
la ubicación no coinciden con las instrucciones, no se considerarán
defectos de fabricación y no tendrán cubierta la garantía no
procediendo el reclamo de servicio posventa.
Superficies de montaje sugeridas: césped, hormigón y todas las
demás superficies que respeten las condiciones de montaje
anteriores.
Superficies no sugeridas: barro, arena, grava, terrazas, balcones,
camino de entrada, plataforma, suelo blando / suelto u otra superficie
que no cumpla con las condiciones de configuración anteriores.
NOTA: Consulte con su ayuntamiento local los estatutos
relacionados con cercas, barreras, iluminación y requisitos de
seguridad y asegúrese de cumplir con todas las leyes.
NOTA: Si tiene una bomba de filtrado, consulte el manual de
la bomba para obtener instrucciones.
NOTA: La escalera debe coincidir con el tamaño de la piscina
y debe usarse solo para entrar y salir de la piscina. Está prohibido
exceder la carga útil permitida de la escalera. Compruebe con
regularidad si la escalera está correctamente ensamblada.
