Step-by-Step Instructions for Aboveground Oval Pool Assembly
- 1). Select a level surface that is within reach of an outlet for the pump and your garden hose. If the surface you have chosen is not level, use a shovel to bring the high areas level with the lowest point.
- 2). Walk the area to remove twigs, rocks and other debris that could possibly puncture the pool.
- 3). Unpack the box and remove all of the pool parts. Divide the poles by the letter that is printed on them.
- 4). Spread a ground cloth over the area the pool will cover. Center the cloth so there will be extra on all sides.
- 5). Unroll the pool right-side up on the ground cloth. Look for the pre-cut holes for the filter and pump and turn the pool so the holes are facing the area where the pump will be located.
- 6). Slide an "A" pole into the sleeve on the corner of the pool. Attach a "B" pole to the end of the "A" and keep sliding into the sleeve. Continue adding "B" poles the length of the side and end the poles with a "C" pole. Twist the poles so the holes in the poles match with the holes in the sleeves.
- 7). Repeat on the other side of the pool.
- 8). Place a restrainer strap on each of the U-shaped poles and slide the strap to the bottom.
- 9). Insert the ends of the U-shaped poles into the holes in the poles along the side sleeves. Repeat along both sides of the pool.

Insert the connecting rods through the loops on the ends of the restrainer straps and the short loop on the bottom edge of the liner. - 11
Inflate the top ring of the liner with an air pump and lift the side walls while pushing the bottom of the liner outwards with your feet. - 12
Fill the pool with about 1 inch of water and continue smoothing out the liner wrinkles along the bottom of the pool. - 13
Locate the hoses with the pump and attach one to the intake on the pump assembly and one to the outtake on the filter assembly. - 14
Remove the plunger valves from the strainer valves and the return jet. Unscrew the nut from the valves. - 15
Insert the strainer basket into the lower pre-cut hole in the pool liner from the inside out. Screw the nut back onto the valve. - 16
Repeat with the return jet. - 17
Reattach the plunger valves to the threaded strainer valve and return jet. - 18
Continue filling the pool. - 19
Connect the hose from the pump assembly to the lower plunger valve and tighten the hose nut. - 20
Connect the other hose to the filter assembly and the higher plunger valve. - 21
Open the valves to allow water into the filter.
