• Using auxiliary equipment not permitted for
the mini-pool (e.g. ladders, covers, pumps,
etc.) can lead to risk of injury or damage.
• Check the product for damage or wear before
each use. The product may be used only
when in good working order and condition!
Selecting a location
WARNING. Mini-pools that are placed
on uneven surfaces tend to leak, deform, or
collapse, leading to material damage or serious
bodily harm to those who are in or around the
mini-pool!
WARNING. Personal injury hazard! Do not
use sand when setting up. If the use of an "aid
for levelling" is needed, it is highly likely your
set-up location is unsuitable.
WARNING! Set the mini-pool up at a
location where continuous supervision is possible
in order to avoid the risk of small children
drowning.
WARNING! Select your set-up location
carefully because grass and other desirable
plants growing underneath the product will die.
In addition, be sure not to install the product on
surfaces on which vigorous plants and weeds
frequently grow because both can pierce
through the product.
WARNING! The mini-pool must be within
reach of a 230-240 volt mains connection
protected by a circuit breaker operated by
residual current (FI circuit breaker). The product
must be set up at a minimum distance of 2
metres from the power source but no further than
the length of the filter pump cord. Under no
circumstances may an extension cable be used
to extend the range for connection.
Comply with the following instructions before
you set the product up.
1. Select a suitable surface that is firm, flat (no
humps or mounds), and completely level.
There may not be a slope of more than 3° at
any point on the set-up site.
2. Make sure that the site is free from branch-
es, stones, sharp-edged and other foreign
objects so that the product does not become
damaged.
3. Select a location where the product will not
be beneath power cables or trees. Take care
also that there are no underground pipes,
supply lines, or cables on the site.
4. Insofar as possible, select a location where
your product will be in direct sunlight. This will
heat up the water in the pool.
Assembling the mini-pool
At least two people should assemble
the product. You will need around 30 minutes
just for the assembly, not including site prepa-
ration and filling up with water. Contact the
Service Hotline if you have any questions or
need assistance with the assembly.
Follow the individual assembly steps in the order
indicated.
1. Select a smooth and clean surface with
enough space to unpack the product. Check
that all individual parts are present and in
good order and condition.
2. When assembling the product for the second
and subsequent times, you should inspect it for
any possible damage, holes, and tears, and
these should be sealed as described later.
3. It is recommended that you do not fill the
mini-pool with groundwater, water obtained
from drilling, or from wells: typically, such wa-
ter contains organic substances contaminated
with nitrates and phosphates. You are advised
to fill the mini-pool with water from the public
drinking water supply.
Inflating the mini-pool
WARNING!
• Avoid inflating the air chambers too much
because there is the risk of over-stretching the
welded seams and even tearing them open.
• The operating pressure may increase in the
sun. Balance out the operating pressure by
letting out the air from the mini-pool.
• Use standard commercial foot pumps or dou-
ble-stroke piston pumps with matching adapter
attachments and pressure gauge to inflate the
mini-pool.
• Do not use a compressor or compressed-air
bottle to inflate the mini-pool. This can cause
damage.
• Always inflate the mini-pool fully.
• Do not inflate the pool next to pointed or
sharp objects or on rough or pebbly ground.
• Always inflate the air chamber fully.
IMPORTANT!
• Only open the valve to inflate and to let out
air. It may otherwise become contaminated.
• The area around the valve must always be
clean and dry.
• Make sure that no sand or other contaminants
get into the valve.
Important!
• The optimal operating pressure for the
air chamber is 1 bar (15 psi).
1. Open the valve seal (1a) (fig. B).
2. Inflate the air chamber until the product is suffi-
ciently firm. Make sure that the air chamber is
positioned centrally over the mini-pool.
Note: The air chamber must feel firm to the
touch but still give when pressed gently with the
thumb. Do not inflate the air chamber too tightly,
as it might burst or the seams could become
damaged.
3. Close back the valve outlet.
Filling the product with water
WARNING. If more than 2.5-5cm of water
collects on one side before the middle has filled
up, the mini-pool is standing unevenly and has
to be positioned correctly. To do this, pull the
outflow plug (1c) out and let the water drain off
completely. Place the mini-pool in another even
location.
1. Close the outflow plug (1c), screw the valve
cover (1b) onto the outflow valve (fig. B), and
close the filter pump valves (1d) with the plas-
tic stoppers (8) on the inside of the mini-pool.
Fill the product with water slowly. Do not
leave the product unattended while filling.
Note: Fill the product fully up to the printed
marking shown. The mini-pool automatically
straightens up with the volume of water.
2. Once 2.5cm of water is spread uniformly over
the floor of the mini-pool, smooth out the floor.
Pull out the outer wall from the upper edge all
around the floor of the pool.
Impact of water quality
To keep the coating performing efficiently,
and for aesthetic considerations, appropriate
treatment procedures and/or recommendations
of the pool manufacturer should be applied in
a timely manner. It is essential that you read the
manufacturer's product instructions and instruc-
tions for use before application in order to check
that they are compatible with the top layer of the
polyester skin. These products and procedures
must correspond to the recommendations made
herein.
Although the water used for filling generally
comes from the public drinking water network, it
can also come from a drill hole, tank, or well.
In such case, a regular analysis of the water,
including physical-chemical analysis, is vital
in order to verify the possible presence of any
metals (iron, copper, manganese) that may
have a negative impact on the top layer, as
there is a risk that colour stains will form due to
metal sulphides. An analysis is the basis for the
approaches required in order to ensure good
quality of water for bathing as well as stability of
the top layer. This quality analysis of the water
used for filling must be assessed and approved
by the mini-pool manufacturer.
However, the tartaric stabilisation and/or the
formation of metals must be avoided. It is rec-
ommended to use calcium sequestering agents
(lime scale remover or descaler) and sequester-
ing agents for metal ions for this purpose.
WARNING. Calcium sequestering agents (lime
scale remover or descaler) and sequestering
agents for metal ions often contain phosphorus
or phosphorous bonding agents that can cause
or promote the growth of algae and/or can
have an influence on measurements (of free chlo-
rine, redox potential) with online devices. For
this reason, when measuring with online systems,
preference should be given to ion exchangers
and/or metal filters in the water line (before
water runs into the pool).
The use of products and/or treatment process-
es must be validated by a professional, since
irreversible damage could occur to the surface
layer in particular combinations.
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.
