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 (2) from the power
source.
2. Connect your garden hose with the hose
adapter (7), open the outflow plug (1c), and
position the other end of the hose so that 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 (3)
from the mini-pool.
4. Open the valve (1a) to let the air escape. If
necessary, use the ventilation tube (8) to allow
the air to escape from the valve quickly.
5. Let the mini-pool dry out completely. This is
best done in the sun.
6. Close all valves before folding up the mi-
ni-pool.

Folding up the mini-pool (fig. F)
1. Fold the protruding sides inwards to form a
rectangular shape.
2. Fold each half of the rectangle inwards to
make a smaller rectangle.
3. Fold the ends backwards.
4. Coil the product up into a small rectangle.

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 (2)
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.
WARNING. Owners of mini-pools are required
to test the water regularly to determine the pH
and chlorine levels in the water and to make
adjustments when necessary. Ask a specialist re-
tailer about suitable test kits and their instructions
for use.
WARNING. Failure to comply with these main-
tenance instructions can seriously endanger the
health of bathers, especially that of children.
When the mini-pool is in use its filter system
should be in operation long enough each day
for the total water volume to be recycled com-
pletely at least once (approx. 4-5 hours).
In order to guarantee the adequate cleanli-
ness and hygiene of the water in the mini-pool
throughout the whole season, comply with the
following instructions:
1. Correct and continuous use of basic chemical
products for swimming pools is required in
order to maintain an appropriate pH level
in the water of the mini-pool. Moreover, the
use of such chemicals prevents the growth of
harmful bacteria and algae in the water and
supports the filter pump in keeping your water
clean. The following chemicals are suitable for
your mini-pool:
• Chlorine in the form of tablets, granules, or
liquid: Disinfects the mini-pool water and
prevents the growth of algae.
• Chemicals that control the pH level: Serve
to correct the pH level and make the water
either more or less acidic.
• Algaecides: Are used to destroy algae.
• "Shock treatment" (super-chlorination):
Eliminates certain organic and other com-
bined compounds that impair the clarity of
the water.
Ask a specialist retailer about the use of
specific chemicals. State the nominal filled
volume of your mini-pool and give them
a water sample, if asked. They can best
advise you regarding suitable chemicals,
suitable amounts of chemicals, and effec-
tive use.
2. Chlorine may never come into direct contact
with the cladding of the mini-pool until it is first
completely dissolved. Chlorine in the form of
tablets or granules must first be dissolved in
advance in a bucket filled with water before it
is added to the water of the mini-pool. Liquid
chlorine must be added to the mini-pool water
slowly and uniformly over various areas.
Danger! Never pour water onto chemicals.
Add the chemicals to the water. Never mix
separate chemicals. Add them to the water sep-
arately so that the first chemical has dissolved
completely and spread before you add the
second.
3. When temperatures are high, clean the mi-
ni-pool several times each week to limit algae
formation manually. Ask a specialist retailer
about what cleaning agents to use, e.g. pool-
floor suction cleaners, nets, brushes, etc.
4. Ask a specialist retailer about purchasing a
test kit to check the pH level.
Note: An excessive concentration of chlorine,
as well as low (acidic) pH levels, can damage
the mini-pool cladding and immediate remedial
steps are required if the test result indicates either
of the two conditions.
5. Inspect the filter pump cartridge every two
weeks (or more frequently if the mini-pool is
used frequently). Clean or replace it when
necessary, e.g. If it is no longer white. Initially,
it can be hosed down with a water hose. If it is
still no longer white, it must be replaced.
Checking regularly maintains the effectiveness
of the filter pump.
6. Make sure that the mini-pool does not over-
flow by accident because of rain or any other
precipitation, whenever it has water in it. Oth-
erwise, the mini-pool may become damaged.
Reduce the water level immediately.
Storage
WARNING!
If the product is stored improperly, there is the
risk of mildew forming.
If you live in a climate zone in which the mi-
ni-pool is not used throughout the year, it is very
strongly recommended to drain out the water,
clean it thoroughly, let it dry, and store it in a
protected location outside the season.
• Store the product in a clean, well-ventilated,
and dry place away from direct sunlight
where it is not exposed to wide variations in
temperature.
• Store the product in a location that is inacces-
sible to children and securely locked.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp-edged
objects on the product.
• Inspect the product after lengthy storage for
signs of wear or ageing.
