BEFORE INSTALLATION

This manual presents the correct assembly procedure for the swimming pool, step by step. We have undertaken all possible efforts to make sure that the materials are as close to the actual items and present their layout as closely as possible.  Please remember,  however,  that all figures are indicative only and individual elements delivered in your set may be different than their graphical visualizations presented in the manual.

Follow the rules for safe use of the pool!
Before the installation, store the kit in a dry place that provides adequate airflow. Protect from the weather (sunlight, precipitation). Do not store under cover in direct sunlight. Store up carefully the unpacked wooden elements without exposure to direct sunlight and water.

Installation should be finished within 3 days from opening the package.

To protect wood from weather, it is advisable to apply preparations intended for the protection of external wooden constructions (e.g. oil scumble which is available in the current offer ‐ a product developed for the effective protection of wooden swimming pools). Pool preservation should be performed at least once a year and for pools subject to extreme weather conditions even more often.

Lack of once-a-year conservation of the structure causes loss of warranty!

• Before installation check the quantity of elements and if they are not faulty. Missing elements or any damages should be reported before the installation. It is possible that some elements of equipment in the assembly instruction will not correspond exactly to those supplied.
• Prepare essential tools indicated in the manual – tools are not included in the pool kit.

RUBBER PLUG

To prepare the pool for the winter season (especially if there is a risk of freezing water) use a plug dedicated to shut the access of water to the filtration system. The inlet must remain in the pool. Fix a plug under water. Remember to disconnect the filtration set from the source of water and dry the inlet (the part of the inlet that is outside the pool). For the winter season, it is recommended to get rid of water remaining in the pump and sand filter, otherwise, freezing water can cause the devastation of the whole set.

GROUND PREPARATION

The partly or fully in‐ground pool must be secured by documentation enclosed in the pool manual. Please see the drawing in the manual.

Wooden structure protection required:

1. FOUNDATION
2. DRAINAGE PIPE
3. FOUNDATION BUBBLE WRAP
4. GRAVEL
5. GEOTEXTILE
6. GROUND

• To define the area for the pool, place the first layer, then remove it to prepare the area.
• When preparing the area for the pool, remove grass, roots, and stones.
• The ground on which the pool is situated should be stable, solid, flat, and, above all, leveled on the entire surface.
• For the pool models without steel supports apply sand stabilized with cement or concrete screed.
• For the pool models with steel supports, a concrete base must be prepared under the diagram presented in the manual.
• Manual guidelines for the arrangement of 2T posts and preparation of reinforced concrete screed must be strictly followed. All dimensions must comply with the manual guidelines.

We recommend that concrete floor is laid by specialized companies!

WOODEN STRUCTURE ASSEMBLY

• The assembly of the structure starts with the first layer.
• After arranging each layer, check the diagonals according to the drawing in the instructions.
• To ensure that connections of tongues and grooves in construction planks are precise and tongues are not damaged, it is necessary to use a wooden knocking block. Hitting directly against the elements of the tongue or groove is unacceptable. Damages arising from this preclude the proper folding of the elements or reduce their durability.
• Continue to assemble all wooden elements in the order shown in the instructions.

OPTION
If your pool has a lighting option, install the lamp in the pool structure under the additional instructions attached to the lamp.

SKIMMER ASSEMBLY

Assemble all elements of a complete skimmer, and secure the threads with Teflon tape.

Note!

• The moment of placing the skimmer in the wooden structure depends on the skimmer model. Perform this step according to the instructions in your pool’s manual.
• The skimmer should be screwed into the wooden structure at the indicated manual time of installation and in indicated places. Cover the diffuser surfaces with double‐sided tape and stick the gasket.

PREPARATION OF THE INNER SIDE OF THE POOL

• Distribution of geotextile starts from the inner side of pool walls, for installation use double‐sided tape or glue.
• Prepare holes for the skimmer and nozzles.
• PVC profiles for liner installation cut to the indicated dimensions. Pay attention to the required angles. According to the diagram prepare the holes ∅ 2 mm. Mount the profiles to the structure by connecting them along the entire pool. Plan profile distribution to make as few joints as possible.
• Spread the geotextile evenly over the pool floor, then start installing the liner (pool foil) in PVC profiles.
• It is recommended to store the liner in its original packaging in a dry room at a moderate ambient temperature (15‐25 degrees Celsius). Warm temperature makes liner material more manageable.
• When installing the liner into the pool structure, make sure that joints and welds are perfectly distributed in the corners of the walls. Smooth all the folds. Pay attention to the places on the holes for the lamp, nozzle, and skimmer.
• Install the liner in PVC profiles using a liner lock.
• When pouring water, straighten the liner on the ground with bare feet, level out any unevenness that may occur, and at the same time stretch the liner walls down to the ground (pay great attention to the corners).
• Pool water should be poured gradually, as indicated in the manual.

FILTRATION SYSTEM

• Stop the water level 5‐10 cm before reaching the nozzle location and cut the hole for the nozzle according to the drawing in the manual.
• For the nozzle installation coat the liner-facing side of the gasket with Vaseline, secure the thread of the hose connector with Teflon tape and connect the hose to the nozzle, tighten with the hose clip. Adjust the hose clip gently so, not to break the clamp. Watch for any leakage. If there is a leakage, apply more tape and tighten the clamp.
• Fill half of the filter tank with water. The second half is filled with the sand you can find in the pool kit.
• Assembly of the filtration set: valve, flange clamp, pressure gauge. Cover the thread of hose connectors with Teflon tape. Connect elements of the filtration system according to the guidelines shown in the manual of your pool model.
• After completing this step, keep pouring water.

SKIMMER INSTALLATION

• Stop pouring water when the water level is 5‐10 cm below the skimmer, to cut a hole in the place of the skimmer.
• Please make sure to prepare a hole in the geotextile material before.
• Fit the skimmer frame and thread it gently into the skimmer through the liner, for easier location of the skimmer placement. Do not cut the liner before the frame is screwed, the cut may shift and the hole may not fit the frame when it’s screwed on.
• Cut the hole, then remove the frame and install all skimmer elements in their place according to the drawing from the manual.
• Make sure you connect all filter elements with hoses according to the instructions and continue filling with water.
• To ensure proper work of the filter set, top up the water level in the pool, to the half of the skimmer!

INSTALLATION OF THE TERRACE BOARDS

• Place the pool decking boards according to the diagram presented in the manual.
• To assemble the movable board (for easy access to the skimmer), use the hinges included in the set.
• Wooden corner connectors attach to the bottom of the terrace boards.
• It is advisable to install the terrace planks after the pool is filled with water. For aesthetic reasons, it is recommended to remove and re‐lay the terrace planks within 1–2 weeks from filling up the pool.
• Pay attention to the even distribution of the terrace screws.
• After completing the installation of the terrace boards, proceed with the installation of the external stairs and internal ladder.

OPTION
If your pool has corner covers as an option install as in manual.
