Check the inflation valve for a secure seal. Inspect the entire pool surface for small punctures or tears. Repair with an appropriate vinyl repair kit.
Water becoming cloudy or dirty rapidly
Increase the frequency of water changes. Skim debris regularly. Clean the pool walls with mild soap and water. Ensure no grass or dirt is brought into the pool.
Uneven settling on the ground
Ensure the ground surface is perfectly level before inflating and filling. Deflate, reposition, and re-inflate if necessary.
