EXCAVATION AND PLUMBING
2 Consider any special requirements for excavation and plumbing.
Recessed Mechanism–UndersideTM Track or Track Channel
1. The tracks (and rectangular pools) must be a true rectangle. The tracks must be perpendicular to the unit mechanism and recessed housing (90°).
2. Over-dig the recessed cover box end of the pool 18″ beyond the forms. Do not install plumbing within 14″ of the deck in the housing area.
3. The motor can be on either end of the cover box. 4. Do not locate skimmers in the lowered pool wall. 5. All corners must be square (no radius) on the finished tile line or the coping. 6. Place 3″ drain in floor or wall of recessed housing.
