IMPORTANTBefore allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting. Establish a set of rules that include, at a minimum, the important safety rules and general aquatic safety information in this manual. Review these rules on a regular basis and with all users of the pool, including guests. The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs shall be placed above the water line.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all risks and dangers.

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.

For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized Safety Organizations:•Demandconstantsupervision.Acompetentadultshouldbeappointedasa“lifeguard” orwaterwatcher,especiallywhenchildrenareinandaroundthepool.•Learntoswim.•TakethetimetolearnCPRandfirstaid.• Instructanyonewhoissupervisingpoolusersaboutpotentialpoolhazardsandabout theuseofprotectivedevicessuchaslockeddoors,barriers,etc.• Instructallpoolusers,includingchildrenwhattodoincaseofanemergency.•Alwaysusecommonsenseandgoodjudgementwhenenjoyinganywateractivity.•Supervise,supervise,supervise.

SAFETY IN YOUR POOLSafe swimming depends on constant attention to the rules. You may also wish to copy and laminate the sign for protection from the elements. You can also download and print additional copies of the warning sign and water watcher tags at www.intexcorp.com.

Water maintenanceThe maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the liner as well as ensuring clean, healthy and safe water. Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the pool water. See your pool professional for chemical, test kits and testing procedures.

WINTER PREPARATIONS

Winterizing your Above Ground PoolAfter usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place. You must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool when the temperature drops below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool and related components. Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool collapse. Also see the section ‘’How To Drain Your Pool’’.

Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), and you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:

1.Cleanthepoolwaterthoroughly.IfthetypeisanEasySetPooloranOvalFrame Pool,makesurethatthetopringisproperlyinflated.2.
