STEP 1: Prepare the Site
Before assembling your pool, check the contents and become familiar with all the parts. Review all the
following warnings, guidelines and tips before proceeding with setup:
WARNINGS
• Do not overfill the pool and / or allow people to lay over or sit on pool wall - doing so can cause
permanent injury!
• Drain pool to the proper level after a heavy rain. The Maximum Water Level FILL LINE is printed on the
pool liner.
• Site must be level, stable, compacted soil.
• Do not install pool on a wooden deck or any type of wooden surface. You cannot use sand and/or
uncompacted soil to provide a level surface for this pool; it will only wash out.
GUIDELINES
• The pool must be assembled on a smooth and level site of firm soil that is free of stones, gravel,
sticks, blacktop, or other oil base compounds.
• Before setting up your pool, clear the area of hardy grasses. Certain types of vigorous grasses such
as St. Augustine and Bermuda can grow through the liner. A ground cloth or tarp may be helpful in
preventing this from occurring. Grass growing through the liner is not covered under warranty.
• Failure to follow all these instructions will cause pool to collapse and will void the warranty!
TIP: It will be much easier to install your pool if you unfold it and let it lay in direct sunlight for about 2 hours
prior to installation. This will help to ensure a wrinkle-free fit because the pool material will be more pliable
allowing it to form into shape during installation.
GETTING STARTED
• Select a level area, and completely remove all debris, twigs, stones, etc. Do not select an area
under overhead electrical lines, trees, or within 15 feet of a house, building, etc.
• The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 6 ft (1.83 m) from any electrical receptacle.
• All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 20 ft (6m) of the pool shall be protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The 20 ft (6 m) distance is measured via the shortest
straight line distance the supply cord would follow without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway,
window, or other permanent barrier.
• Contact your local utilities, checking that no underground cables, telephone lines, gas lines, etc. run
beneath the area you have selected.
STEP 3: Inflate the Top Ring
1. Locate a clean area free of stones or other sharp objects to inflate the pool.
2. Inflate the air chambers following the numbered sequence (if any) slowly with a manual/foot air
pump.
3. The adequate air pressure: make sure the pool is firm to the touch but not hard – there should be
small folds around the armrests, backrests and/or side edges, and below the cup holders (if any).
Also compare the pressure with that of the large main chamber.
4. Close and press the inflation valves into the unit to get a flat surface.
5. Check regularly to ensure the adequate air pressure during each use, especially on very hot or cold
days.
CAUTION: Inflate by adult only. Do not overinflate, use high pressure air compressor to inflate, or exceed
the recommended Design Working Pressure. Inflate with cold air only.
STEP 4: Install the Fittings for Filter Pump
If your pool came with fittings, install both the Suction and Return fittings to the pool wall before filling the pool.
STEP 2: Lay out the Liner
1. Carefully unfold the QuickSet pool and inspect the seams for manufacturing defects.
2. With the inflatable ring on the top side, and safety content on the outside, lay out the pool in the
area selected, making sure the bottom of the pool is both flat and round.
3. If your pool included openings or you are going to purchase a filter pump system, position the
Suction & Return fitting locations so they are 10 to 21 feet from the electrical outlet you plan to use
for the pool pump.
NOTES:
• The black rubber Gasket should always be slid over the threaded plastic suction or return fitting
and be on the inside before the fitting is placed through the pool wall to make a watertight
connection.
• Make sure to put on both the Water Cap and the Service Plug while you fill your pool, or until you
are ready to add a filtration system.
1. Fill the pool with 1 inch of water.
2. Smooth out the wrinkles from the bottom of the pool by brushing outwards from the inside of the
pool so it fills up evenly. Make sure that the base of the pool is completely flat and leveled.
IMPORTANT: Not following this step will make the pool fill unevenly and may look misshapen. If the
pool is uneven, you may need to restart the setup.
3. Pull all the outer walls up straight and make sure they are not under the pool floor. Also make sure
to pull up the top ring, all around the pool, so that it fills evenly.
NOTES:
• If more than 1-2 inches of water collects on any one side before the pool starts filling in the
center, the pool is not level enough, and must be corrected (See Section “Prepare the Site”).
• The weight of the water will make adjustment impossible after this point.
4.
If your pool includes a filtration system, install it as per the enclosed "Funsicle Filter Pump User Guide".
Filling Your Pool
5. Now, as you continue filling, the inflated ring will rise as the water deepens. Continue adding water
to your pool up to the "FILL LINE" printed on the interior of your pool.
CAUTION: Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.
Do not add chemicals while the pool is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation. Concentrated chlorine
solutions can damage the pool liner. In no event is Polygroup, our buyer/retailers, or any other party liable for
costs associated with the loss of pool water, chemicals, or water damage. Keep spare filter cartridges on hand.
Replace cartridges every two weeks. We recommend the use of Funsicle Filter Pump with all of our
aboveground pools. To purchase a Funsicle Filter Pump or other accessories, visit our website at
funsicle.com or call Customer Service.
Excessive Rain: To avoid damage to the pool and overfilling, immediately drain rain water that causes the
water level to be higher than the FILL LINE.
