INTRODUCTION

Transforming your home for more convenient fitness and family fun is so much easier when you have the right partner! The team at Fastlane Pools has over 30 years of experience helping customers like you realise their dream of pool ownership. To start, we’ve developed this handy guide of project considerations, best practices, and customisation options to make the process as easy as possible. So, let’s get started!
To begin, let’s discuss where your pool will be placed for optimal performance:

• A solid, level surface, such as a concrete pad
• A location that gives you access to at least one side (some options may require additional access requirements)
• A minimum 32-amp electric service, the same as for a clothes dryer. Selecting options will increase your power requirements.

Understanding the DNA of your new pool can help you choose the best installation method for you: are you handy enough for a DIY assembly, or will you contract the process out? You can hire a contractor of your choosing or use one of our Independent Service Providers (ISPs). All Fastlane Pools products arrive with comprehensive instructions; we also offer online video guides as well as live Customer Support during and after your assembly.

Your Pool Inside & Out

1. STEEL-PANEL WALLS
   • Sturdy and rust-resistant, our 2 mm galvanised steel panels give you the flexibility to adjust your pool’s size in 30 cm increments. These panels come with a 10-year structural warranty.
   • VIDEO: See how it’s built!
2. VINYL LINER
   • A vinyl liner gives you versatility, flexibility, and a beautiful interior.
   • Our 28-mil. vinyl liner is 40% thicker than the 20-mil. liners standard in traditional in-ground pools.
   • It allows you to customise your pool’s size and appearance in a way that simply isn’t feasible with fibreglass or acrylic spas.
   • You can choose from a range of solids and patterns. Each fully replaceable liner comes with a 2-year warranty.
3. CURRENT SYSTEM
   • Inside this housing resides our exclusive technology to generate our signature current.
   • Our propeller-generated current is spacious, smooth, and swimmable. Our space-saving technology utilises built-in return channels to keep the water remarkably still on either side.
   • We offer multiple current options, including progressively faster top speeds for experienced swimmers, as well as larger and smoother currents that are friendlier for novice swimmers.
   • VIDEO: See the current system in action!
4. CONTROL PANEL
   • Your Fastlane Pools command centre – from here, you can digitally control the water quality system, water temperature, and the optional lights and jets. For remote access, choose our optional Apple/Android controller.
5. RETURN CHANNELS
   • These channels return water from the rear of the pool to the current housing at the front and minimise turbulence in the process. In our 1.07 m deep models, these channels also function as perimeter benches for seating.
6. SKIRTING
   • Choose our stylish, low-maintenance Ascent Skirting System or source your own locally. The skirting covers the steel panels as well as any insulation you add to conserve heat.
7. COPING
   • As with the skirting, you can choose our durable, attractive Apex Coping System for the perimeter ledge of your pool, or you can locally source your own.
8. SECURITY COVER
   • We offer locking manual and automatic covers to seal in heat, keep out debris and protect your pool from unwanted access. Your pool cover will also control humidity, opening up a whole new world of indoor possibilities.

The Fits-AlmostAnywhere Pool

• On-site assembly means that you can set up your pool in a variety of locations, outside or indoors.
• For cooler climates, you could enjoy an unprecedented year-round pool season at home! With a standard bathroom ventilation fan and nearby drainage, any ground-floor site can house your pool.
• Every pool component can be walked through a standard door opening and downstairs, which makes this pool ideal for existing spaces, such as spare rooms, basements, and garages.
• VIDEO: Outdoor pool planning.
• VIDEO: Indoor pool planning.

Upper-floor and rooftop locations are possible with additional engineering. Our standard pool requires that the site be able to support 91 kg/m3; deeper pools can require up to 120 kg/m3. Ask your Product Specialist about a Fastlane Pools engineering consultation, available at no extra cost.

Finishing Options

• Fastlane Pools offers two styles for skirting (the vertical walls that surround your pool’s exterior) and coping (the perimeter ledge at the top of the pool).
• Our Ascent Skirting System has been designed for easy installation. Its durable, stylish laminate mimics the look of real wood without the maintenance hassles.
• Choose our Apex Coping System for the easiest installation.
• Our coping is UV stabilised to prevent cracking and colour loss in any environment.
• It features gracefully rounded corners for a clean, modern finish.

YOUR MATERIALS

• Some customers choose to source their skirting and coping.
• Our pools have been skirted in everything from stacked stone to stone veneer, from moisture-resistant cedar shingles to reclaimed oak planks, from imported marble to faux-marbled wood panels.
• Choose your coping in any durable, water-resistant material.
• If you prefer a wood finish, ask about our receiver system for the easiest, most secure installation.
• For fully in-ground pools, we offer a coping option to provide a finished edge to abut your decking.
• Contact your product specialist for any special needs specific to your sourced finishing material.

Pre-Delivery Considerations

GET A PERMIT… IF NEEDED.

• Each homeowner is responsible for acquiring their permits when needed.
• Be sure to check your local municipality’s requirements.
• Defining your pool as an “Exercise Spa” rather than a permanent pool has significant permit ramifications in many municipalities.

CHOOSE AN INSTALLER.

• You may choose an independent Independent Service Provider for experienced assembly at a guaranteed price or engage your own favourite general contractor.
• Some customers even choose a DIY installation.
• Regardless, you will have unlimited phone/email access to our Customer Service team for the life of your pool.
