USER MANUAL IAN 388688 CRIVIT

• Never leave children unsupervised with the packaging material. Risk of suffocation. Safety of non-swimmers!

• Constant, active, and watchful supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers by a com- petent adult supervisor is required at all times (you are reminded that children under the age of 5 run the greatest risk of drowning).

• When in use, designate a competent adult as a supervisor.

• Weak and non-swimmers should wear person- al flotation devices whenever they enter the mini-pool.

• When the mini-pool is not being used or supervised, remove all play items from the mi- ni-pool and the pool area to prevent children from being attracted by them.

• When the mini-pool is not being used or supervised, remove all play items and objects (e.g. Chairs or large toys, etc.) that might give a child easy access to the mini-pool from the mini-pool area. Safety features

• It is recommended to set up a barrier (and secure all doors and windows, if any such exist) in order to prevent unauthorised access to the mini-pool.

• Personal protective equipment, barriers, pool covers, alarm systems, and similar security devices are sensible aids but they are not replacements for continuous and competent supervision by adults. Safety equipment

• It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a lifebelt) close to the pool.

• Keep a functioning telephone and list of emer- gency numbers close to the mini-pool. Safe use of the mini-pool

• All users, especially children, are encouraged to learn how to swim.

• Learn first aid (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and update your skills and knowledge regu- larly. This can make a life-saving difference in an emergency.

• Instruct all pool users, including children, about what to do in an emergency.

• Never jump into shallow water. This can lead to serious injury or death.

• Do not use the mini-pool while under the in- fluence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that may impair the ability to use the pool safely.

• If pool covers are used, remove them com- pletely from the water surface before entering the mini-pool.

• Always keep the water purified and hygieni- cally safe to protect the users of the mini-pool from water-borne diseases. Consult the instructions for use for the guidelines on water purification.

• Keep chemicals (e.g. products for water pu- rification, cleaning, or disinfection) out of the reach of children.

• Detachable ladders must be placed on a horizontal surface. Risk of injury!

• Follow the instructions on the label.

• Do not bring any sharp or pointed objects with you.

• Protect the product from contact with any dubious liquids or acids. This may otherwise cause irreparable damage.

• Protect the product from excessive heat and cold! Be careful with lit cigarettes!

• Ensure that you do not walk over stony ground to avoid damaging the product.

• Do not make any technical modifications to the product. Modifications of any kind compromise use of the product and nullify the warranty.

• Never use the product under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.

• Under no circumstances should the inflated product be transported by vehicle.

• Do not use the product if there is a leak and is losing air. Avoiding material damage!

• Avoid contact with corrosive, sharp, or dan- gerous items, chemicals, or liquids. Should this nevertheless happen to occur, inspect the pool thoroughly for damage.

• Keep the product away from fire and hot objects (e.g. lit cigarettes).

• All inflatables are susceptible to cold. For this reason never unfold and inflate the product at a temperature lower than 15 °C!

• Inflate the product’s air chambers to a maxi- mum operating pressure of 0.03 bar.

• In the event that the air pressure increases in the hot sun, it must be balanced accordingly by letting out air. Open the valve and let out some air whenever the pressure is above 0.03 bar.18

• Make sure that the product, especially when inflated, does not come into contact with stones, gravel, or sharp objects and does not rub or scrape against anything as this can cause damage.

• Use only the correct pump adapter to insert into the valve. The valve may otherwise become damaged.

• Do not use a compressor to inflate the prod- uct.

• Do not over-inflate because you then risk tear- ing open the welded seams. Close the valve properly after inflating.

• Using auxiliary equipment not permitted for the mini-pool (e.g. ladders, covers, pumps, etc.) can lead to risk of injury or damage.

• Use beverage containers only for cold bever- ages.

• 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. 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. Comply with the following instructions before you set the product up.

1. Select a surface that is firm, flat (without

bumps or mounds of earth), horizontal, and extremely even. 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. Assembly 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. Inflation 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 mini-pool close to pointed or sharp objects or on rough or stony surfaces.

• 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 maximum operating pressure for the air chambers is 0.03 bar. Inflate all air chambers fully. Note: When you press with your thumb against each air chamber it should still give a little. Inflate the lower main chamber and then the up- per main chamber. To do so repeat the following steps:

1. Open the upper valve seal of the main cham-

2. Inflate the main chamber until it is firm to the

To inflate the seats, repeat the following steps:

3. Close the valve seal and use light pressure to

press in the stopper valve (fig. C). Filling 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. Open the drainage outlet and let the water run out (fig. D). Place the mini-pool in another even location.

1. Close the drainage outlet (fig. D).

2. 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.

3. Once 2.5cm of water is spread uniformly over

the floor of the mini-pool, smooth out the floor. Pull the outer wall outwards from the upper edge all around the floor. 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 re- quired 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, tartar precipitation and/or the build-up of metals must be avoided. It is recommended to use calcium sequestering agents (lime scale remover or de-scaler) and sequestering agents for metal ions for this purpose. GB/IE19GB/IE 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 stabilisers or products based on stabilised chlorine, use the dosages recommended by the manufacturer (which should comply with EN 16713-3). For the winter season comply with the instruc- tions given in the sections care, storage, repairs, and maintenance. No shock disinfection may be performed shortly before covering up the mini-pool because within 8 hours of disinfecting 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 some other means of com- munication ready near the mini-pool so that you can speak to emergency services if required. Even if the mini-pool is not being used, you must consider the following measures:

• Make the mini-pool inaccessible to the extent possible (e.g. by locking doors, windows, and access routes to the swimming pool); and/or

• install a protection device; and/or empty the mini-pool. Disassembly To store the product at season’s end or for a lengthy period of non-use, proceed as follows: Emptying Open the drainage outlet and let the water run out (fig. D). Note: Please follow the local regula- tions regarding specific requirements for disposing of water from swimming pools. Deflating

1. To deflate the main chambers quickly, open

the lower valve seals of the main chambers (fig. E).

2. To deflate the seats, pull the stopper valves

3. Apply light pressure to the valve shafts,

squeezing so that the air can escape, or intro- duce a ventilation tube into the valves to allow the air to escape quickly.

4. Let the mini-pool dry out completely. This is

best done in the sun. Folding up

1. Allow the product to dry completely before

2. For better storage fold the product up as

shown in fig. F. Care, storage, repairs, maintenance 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. To keep the water clean and free from algae and harmful bacteria, a thorough chemical water treatment is required. 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 chemi- cals 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 retailer 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. To ensure the appropriate cleanliness and hygiene of the water in the mini-pool through- out the whole season, perform regular water exchanges in accordance with the following instructions:

1. Correct and continuous use of basic chemical

products for swimming pools is required in or- der to maintain an appropriate pH level in the water of the mini-pool. In addition, the use of such chemicals prevents the growth of harmful bacteria or algae in the water. 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 specific organic and other combined compounds that affect the clarity of the water. Ask a specialist retailer about the specific use of 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, and effective use.

2. Chlorine may never come into direct contact

with the cladding of the mini-pool, unless it has become completely soluble. Chlorine in tablet or granulated form must first be dissolved in a bucket filled with water before being poured into the 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 separately 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 remedi- al steps are required if the test result indicates either of the two conditions.

5. Make sure that the mini-pool does not over-

flow by accident because of rain or for some other reason, 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 mini-pool is not used year-round, it is strongly recommended that you drain the water, clean it thoroughly, and store it out of season in a protected location.

• 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.20

• Do not place any heavy or sharp-edged objects on the product.

• Inspect the product after lengthy storage for signs of wear or ageing. Repairs WARNING! Check the mini-pool for loss of pressure, holes, and tears before use each time. If the mini-pool is losing air, this may be because of a leak on the valve, a defective valve, or a leak in the mini-pool. When there is more serious damage do not per- form repairs yourself under any circumstances. Minor leaks or holes can be repaired with the repair patch supplied. Important! Do not inflate the product for 20 minutes after repair! Do not use the patch for leaks or holes on the seam.

1. Let the air out of the product completely.

2. Clean the area around the leak thoroughly.

The area must be dry and free from grease.

3. Cut out a piece of the repair material that is

big enough for its edges to overlap the dam- aged area by about 1.3cm.

4. Peel the patch off the paper, place it on the

damaged area and press tight. Maintenance The owner is primarily responsible for the main- tenance of the mini-pool and the accessories. Mini-pool The following should be avoided: — direct contact or overdoses of water care agents, other than those indicated in EN 16713-3, with the surface of the top layer (since this may lead to irreversible discolour- ation); — mechanical impacts (for instance, blunt objects such as sunshade stands, garden chairs, div- ing equipment, etc. falling) can cause marks or deep scratches on the top layer; — abnormal friction between two surfaces; — contact of oxidisable metal objects or organic materials with the top layer over a lengthy period of time. The water line is particularly susceptible to deposits such as lime, metals, or other greasy products (sun lotion) that may be deposited on the top layer. Regular maintenance of the water line is recommended to prevent these deposits getting inside the top layer and making cleaning impossible. Regular and careful maintenance should be performed using appropriate products that do not scour and are compatible with the top layer. Never use cleaning products that are not intend- ed for swimming pools (household cleaners) and/or abrasive cleaning agents. Disposal Dispose of the article and the packaging materials in accordance with current local regulations. Packaging materials such as foil bags are not suitable to be given to children.

It is important to remember that the top layer gradually becomes discoloured because of ageing and the effects of UV rays. The following may cause accelerated discolouration: - use of unsuitable products and procedures for water preparation that do not match the manufacturer’s recommendations; - excessive mechanical impact (tidal swimming pools, floating layers of ice, automatic cleaners, and brushes, etc.); - high water temperature; - impact of the materials and the manufacturing process. Sometimes a slight difference in colour appears between the areas that are immersed in the water and the areas that lie above the surface of the water. This is quite normal. Stains and their possible causes Because of the many influencing factors, such as those mentioned above, it is extremely difficult to determine what causes stains. Stains that occur above the waterline are rarely deep in the top layer. The following table shows the possible causes of stains once the mini-pool is in normal operation. To find the possible causes a sensible approach is to im- plement the measures described in the following record sheet: If these are unsuccessful, possible influences of the manufacturing process may be involved. Types of stain Possible cause Possible solution Whitish spots on the bottom of the mini-pool Wrong water preparation Stains are irreversible and cannot be repaired. Decomposition of organic substances (humus, twigs, leaves) that are in direct contact with the top layer. The effect is more considerable when there has been contact over a longer period of time. Whitish spots on the bottom of the mini-pool and on the walls Excessive concentration of chemical products. Stains are irreversible and cannot be remedied. Whitish stains at the waterline Lime scale deposits These deposits can be prevented by using calcium sequestering agents and by maintaining the pH level balance. Cleaning is possible before placement by using a suitable product, solvent-free and non-abrasive, while taking care not to scratch the layer. Control the water hardness regularly to reduce this effect e.g. with a pre-installed ion exchanger. Unsuitable chemicals and/or abrasives Irreversible and untreated milky or bleached areas Presence of algae This can be prevented by regular maintenance of the mini-pool (cleaning). Decomposition of organic substances (leaves, dirt, vegetation) Use of copper sulphate in pure or mixed form and application of the Cu/Ag process Irreversible. These products are not allowed in this type of mini-pool. Suntan lotions and cosmetics that float on the surface of the water, combustion of hydrocarbons from wood or charcoal fire, car exhausts, aeroplane exhausts, or any other pollution from the immediate vicinity or more distant surroundings of the mini-pool. This can be prevented by regular maintenance of the mini-pool (cleaning). Green stains Since they are organic in origin, these stains only oc- cur when living organisms are present (algae, fungi, etc.) and may be related to a significant disturbance in the balance of the water preparation. This can be prevented by regular maintenance of the mini-pool (cleaning). Pink stains These are generally found on seal parts and caused by bacteria that grow on components of these plastic parts and may be related to the water preparation. If PHMB is used for disinfection in the presence of copper, there is a risk of pink stains forming. This can be prevented by regular maintenance of the mini-pool (cleaning). GB/IE22 Félicitations !
