Swimspa Pre-Delivery
These installation instructions are provided to ensure that everything is in
place to enable your swimspa to be delivered and wired up easily and quickly
on the day of delivery.
We highly recommend that you provide a copy of them to your builder and/or
electrician to ensure that everything is ready for the day of delivery.
If your access, base or electrical supply are not ready for the delivery team
there may be additional delivery charges.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Endless Pool Fitness Systems Installation Guide
Your installation situation will always be unique to your needs, so although
the guidance below is based on years of experience, some aspects must be
tailored to you specifically.
Please speak to us to receive our thoughts on your specific situation and
ensure that your builder can follow these recommendations.
Installing Endless Pool fitness systems is very straight forward. However, we
do recommend good planning to ensure your installation will proceed with
minimum fuss.
These are some of the key areas you will need to consider before installation:
-
Location – Is the fitness system going outdoors or indoors? What should you be aware of?
Do you intend to install above ground, partly/fully in ground or indoors.
Indoor installation will require you to consider heating and dehumidification. -
Delivery Access – Can you get the delivery vehicle to the site? Will you need a crane? Would a crane be able to gain access?
-
Ground Preparation – What size and type of base is required? Drainage? How much space should I leave around the fitness system?

General
Location
Give careful thought to the eventual position of your preferred model and take
into consideration the location to the house (and any neighbours). Also,
consider privacy, noise, trees, wind, safety (overhead cables), access to the
fitness system, site drainage, fill and empty procedures, removal of covers,
access to the equipment for service and maintenance and what the finished
project will look like.
If the aquatic fitness system is to be installed in an enclosure, either stand
alone or attached to your home, you must consider the effects of humidity on
the structure of the building. If this is not correctly designed the room
environment will be uncomfortable to occupants and can quickly cause expensive
damage to the fabric of the building. We have many years of experience with
all aspects of indoor pools and installations and will be pleased to give you
advice and recommendations.
Also, remember, If your pool is located inside a building, then there must be
enough clearance above to enable the covers to be removed and replaced.
Please be aware that Upright and Vacuseal Cover lifters will block your view
at both ends of the pool when open.
This must be considered when deciding where and in which orientation to place
your pool.
Delivery Access
An important factor to consider is the route that the delivery driver will use
to get to your home and if the same vehicle is to be used for offloading. Can
it get adjacent to the prepared base leaving sufficient room (in the case of a
Hiab) to extend the support legs? Many Hiab vehicles can reach up to 25m. The
distance and reach of a crane are totally dependent on the weight.
If the Hiab lift system is not suitable or the location has restricted access,
then a crane lift will be required.
All Swim offer help and advice on delivery of your swimspa and will arrange
all of this on your behalf. However, if you decide to arrange your own lift it
is important to get professional advice. This should be in writing and should
always be an insured lift.
Ground Preparation
Ground Level – The fitness systems will require a suitable base. It might be
possible to place the unit onto an existing patio or concrete base, providing
it is level and flat. It is important to be sure that it will hold the weight
of the system when full of water.
Where a new base is required, the ground should be prepared with a compacted
hardcore sub base as well as a minimum of 150mm concrete slab and depending on
the ground condition we would further recommend a layer of steel mesh is
incorporated in the concrete. The slab and the subbase must be capable of
supporting 1,000kg per square metre. Always ensure that there is a minimum of
50mm of concrete covering above, below and to the ends of the steel
reinforcement.
The new slab must be flat and level and have good perimeter drainage.
The base must always be larger than the aquatic fitness system, however,
you may also like it larger to accommodate steps.
Packed down concrete or asphalt chippings, gravel, slate or shingle are NOT
adequate bases for a swimspa and we would not deliver unless the correct base
has been installed.
Below Ground – Our fitness systems have full depth cabinets, and all
models can be installed either partially or fully to the edge of the shell.
If you intend to install either fully or partially below ground the base must
be concreted as detailed above with the side walls to the desired height. If
the side walls are to support any ground/earth, then it is essential that the
correct construction technique is used. This might require the walls and
floors to be structurally designed. NEVER BACKFILL AGAINST THE CABINET.
If sinking, the pool should sit on a base platform 25cm above the bottom of
the base- this allows for drainage and future servicing and maintenance of the
equipment. If you are building a frame inside the pit to support decking or
other flooring the uprights of the frame MUST NOT obstruct access to the
screws holding the upright bars in position and the frame must be a minimum of
150mm (6”) away from the pool to allow removal of the panels.
The new pit must be fully self-draining. If a free-flowing drain is not
possible the pit will need to be fitted with, at least, an automatic sump
pump, wired to its own power supply, not the same supply as the Endless Pool,
which can deal with any water falling into the pit and also the runoff from
surrounding areas in heavy rain. We recommend that this pump is duplicated in
case of failure and a ‘Test Switch’ is fitted to each system for use to check
that the system is functional on a regular basis. It is the responsibility of
your builder and/or Architect to ensure that the drainage is sufficient to
deal with any possible water ingress. Damage caused by flooding of the pit is
NOT covered under warranty.
Electrical Supply
To comply with BS7671, an electrician registered with one of the following
must carry out all electrical work: BRE Certification LTD (ECA&IEE); British
Standards Institution; ELECSA LT; NICEIC Certification LTD or Zurich
Certification Limited. Your electrician should give you a P certificate once
the work has been completed and this should be available for our technicians
to see.
If the fitness system is to be installed within a building or enclosure the
relevant part of the building regulations covering electrical safety will
apply. This should be installed by an electrician who must provide a
certificate of conformity before the fitness system is installed. Our
technicians will need to see this certificate before commissioning the fitness
system and your electrician may wish to be present at this time.
We can recommend electricians with experience in this type of installation if
you do not have your own electrician.
You will need to provide supplies, by the way of Type C breakers at the
consumer unit connecting to (using the relevant gauge armoured cable) a
separate isolating switch for each circuit, which can be locked off to carry
out work. These supplies need to be RCD protected and can either be mounted on
an adjacent wall or to a post no closer than 2 meters from the fitness system.
The tails need to be marked as to which supply is which.
The electrician will also need to supply and fit a suitably armoured cable
(10sq mm max), which will reach safely from the isolator or switch to the
electrical cutout of your pool, with a minimum of 2 meters extra length to
allow it to be passed into the fitness system and wired to the control box.
The diagram below is an example only.
The actual entry point of your swimspa is shown, marked as “electrical
cutout”, on the architectural drawings we will supply to you at time of order.
Note: Some models will require
2 power supplies.
To comply with BS7671 Minor Works Certificate regulations, the electrician will also need to fit an earth rod to TT Procedure standards, close to and connected to the isolator or plug.
All FITMENTS AND ISOLATORS MUST COMFORM TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF IP55 RATING
Service and Maintenance Of Your Fitness System
The equipment and control system of your Fitness system will require periodic
service and maintenance therefore must be accessible. All our products are
quality controlled and undertake rigorous factory testing.
If the unit is being installed into a location where full access to all sides
is restricted, we recommend checking that no damage has occurred during
transportation, lifting or manoeuvring, the unit is filled and water tested on
site before installation.
If in the event any further warranty/service work is required, it is the
responsibility of the client to ensure access is available to all components
and plumbing. We only use LED lights this is due to their long-life expectancy
and low running cost. However, if one should fail, service replacements can
only be fitted where access between the fitness system shell and cabinet
permits. Any warranty work can only be completed if full access is available.
General
Planning permissions and building regulations are not generally required unless the fitness system is going into a building. In conservation areas or if going in front of the building line it will be worth checking with your local authority if planning is required.
