Selecting a suitable site

We want you to have great fun with your pool for many years. Therefore it is imperative that you prepare the pool space thoroughly. The better and tighter the pool space is prepared, the longer you will be able to enjoy your swimming pool. We therefore ask you to use reasonable care. Carefully select the site for your new pool. This is the most important decision you will have to make to ensure the safety and success of your pools construction. An incorrect site could cause problems in the future that may cause injury, death or financial loss. Carefully follow the check list set out below when selecting your site.

Acceptable:

• Flat, level, firm and dry ground with easy access to all sides of the pool
• Exposed to direct sunlight, preferable in the morning
• Safe access to electricity for running the filter pump and other pool accessories
• Access to a water source
• Protection from wind

Not acceptable:

• Sloping ground
• Sandy, grave and swampy ground
• Close to wooden construction e.g. Pergola’s and decking
• Next to deciduous or leafy trees
• Over-head wires and clothes lines
• Drains, electric wires or gas pipelines underneath the site
• Loping ground
• Poor or little drainage or high flood risk locations
• High wind conditions

Tools required (not included):

• Screwdriver
• Small shifter
• Clips
• Sprit level
• Sharp knife
• Site excavation tools
• Protective gloves

Estimated assembly time

About 2-3h (Please take into account that this is an approximate guideline time, the individual up time may also vary due to the number of people.)

Leveling the area

Attention
Take as much time as possible to work out a site that is completely firm and level

Leveling is extremely important

• Take as much time as possible to work out a site that is completely firm and level. Use a carpenter’s level to ensure that the site is completely level, flat and firm!. The pool contains a huge amount of water and thousands of kilos of weight. Should the pool collapse due to unleveled ground, it could cause a lot of damage to property and even human injury or death!
• Remove the higher ground rather than filling the low laying ground.

Mounting with pelvic floor insulation:

If you cover the pelvic floor with insulation (shatter-proof), it is necessary to cover the intire pool. Place a maximum of a 3 cm thick flat gravel layer and compress, then put the insulation into the bottom gravel bed.

Concrete foundation:

For a concrete foundation instructions are the same, with the concrete slab replacing the gravel bed (thickness depends on the local conditions about 15 – 20 cm with iron reinforcement).

Pool installation without floor insulation:

Concrete slabs beneath the bottom rail connectors are not essential for stability and safety, but their installation is recommended. Otherwise, it may result in subsidence, which can damage the pool in the sequence. The concrete slab should be recessed flush with the installation location.
Around the pool should be a free space of 1.2 meters to keep children from falling into the pool.

Attention
Always remove grass, roots and stones within the circle. Use a ground cover provided to ensure that roots and stones doesn’t penetrate the pool liner and cause damage.

Assembling the pool bottom rails

• Unpack and check if all components are present according to the parts checklist.
• Connect the rails together with the rail connectors following the same sequence as the step 1-2-3 on diagram 3.

IMPORTANT: Leave about 1,5 cm gaps between the two ends of the rail as shown in the step 3 of the diagram 3. Complete the steps on all rails on the bottom. (See diagram 4)

• Unpack the ground sheet and put it on the ground, then place the bottom metal pieces under the rails in correspondence with the joints. (See diagram 5)

Fixing the pool wall

• It is advisable to wear protective gloves when handling the metal walls.
• Put the metal sheet on the ground cloth, cardboard or a piece of plywood in a vertical position as shown in diagram 6.

A: Window for skimmer.

• The 2 pcs of 3M adhesive tape are preinstalled on the both ends of the metal sheet.

Important
Make sure the square window (for skimmer) is at the top of the steel wall when it is standing up.
Choose a place where the Skimmer and filtration system will be placed.

Note
The open window for the skimmer should be placed in the direction of the electrical supply to connect the filtration system.

Insert the steel wall into the bottom rail. For this operation you need to start to insert the end on the steel wall in correspondence with the center of one bottom metal piece as shown in diagram 7.
Then uncoil the whole wall and insert it into the bottom rail until the circumference is complete as shown in diagram 8.

NOTE that the length of both the bottom and top rails must be adjusted on site for the pool wall. You therefore must saw off a piece of the bottom rail in order to be able to assemble the pool wall. Exercise caution. Do not cut a corresponding piece of the top rail until the pool is finally assembled

When the wall is completely inserted in the bottom rail, connect both ends of the pool wall together. (See diagram 9). Line up the screw holes and place the bolts through the inside of the pool. Washers and nuts should be on the outside of the pool wall. (See diagram 10, A: inside, B: Outside)

Once complete, attach and tighten the nuts. (See diagram 11, A: Use the screw to fix head and tail of the pool wall). Attach the adhesive tape to the bolts to protect the pool liner. (See diagram 12, A: inside, B: outside, C: adhesive tape)

Check to see if the pool wall is level. (See diagram 13)

Warning! A pool that is not level is very dangerous and may collapse at any time. Also check if the pool wall is round and measure the diameter across a few spots to make sure the differences of diameter measured are within 2 cm.

Fitting the PVC pool liner

A small layer of masonry sand prevents the liner from being forced out under the pool wall. Therefore, there should be a layer in the space between the ground and the pool wall the entire way round. Use debris-free masonry sand. Ensure that the masonry sand layer surface is solid and level the entire way round

Tip

• Leave the liner in the sun to warm the PVC up before installation. This makes the liner much easier to handle.
• Put the liner at the center of the pool site inside the pool wall. Extend it evenly until the seam line reaches the base of the pool. Drape the pool liner over pool wall. There should be an overlap of 8 cm of the pool wall height. (See diagram 15)

SHOES ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE LINER

Hold the overlap in place with clips. (See diagram 16).

Note
With the liner in position, fold the remaining liner material evenly by dividing this excessive liner uniformly along the entire perimeter but do not fold. (See diagram 17).

Important!
If the dimension of the PVC liner is smaller than the steel wall, do not stretch or force the PVC! Stop the assembly immediately and call customer service for assistance

Fill the pool with 1 or 2 cm of water and enter the pool to smooth out the liner against the pool wall. (See diagram)

Note
Excess liner must not be cut off to prevent the liner from becoming too short after use of the pool.

Assembling the top rails

Remove the clips one at a time whilst applying the top rails. (See diagram 19, A: Top Plastic Rail). Slide the rail connectors into one end of a top rail (see diagram 20), then connect another top rail and continue around the pool until all top rails are joined together. Keep the same 1.5 cm gap as the bottom rails.

Do not cut the excess overlap off the pool liner. If you cut the overlap, it will make the next pool installation step difficult. Also do not tape the overlap to the top rail, as it will cause difficultly when you fix the top rails.

Installing the top metal pieces

Hook the top metal pieces over the top of the rails (see diagram 21). The first metal piece should be placed on top of and in the middle of the steel wall joint.
Install the top metal pieces in correspondence with the bottom metal pieces installed in the above diagram 5. (See diagram 21)

Installing the top platforms

Install the top platforms starting from the steel wall joint as shown in diagram 22. Adjust the distance between the two metal pieces if necessary to accommodate for the top platforms

Note
Make sure that you place the longer side of the top platform facing out and the shorter side facing inside the pool.

Line up the screw holes and lightly fasten with the bolts provided in the package. (See diagram 23).
Repeat these steps for all top platforms and make sure they are all mounted properly before finally tightening all the nuts.

Fixing the bottom joint protector

Fix the bottom joint protector to the vertical supports, using the ST4.2×13 screws (No.20) as shown in diagram 24.

Installing the vertical supports

The first vertical support should be placed over the joint of the steel wall. Fix the vertical support onto the metal pieces as shown in diagram 25,26, 26A & 26B. Line up the bolts.

Note
The vertical support must be straight before installing the bolts.

Installing the upper joint protectors

Hook the upper joint protector over the inside edge of the top rail and pull it down to fasten it outside edge. (See diagram 27 & 28).

Filling the pool – Step 1

When assembly is finished and before you start to fix the skimmer and the inlet connector kit to the pool, fill the pool with 5 or 6 cm of water below the position of the inlet connector kit.

Warning!
Never permanently install the skimmer or the inlet connector kit before the water is within a few centimeters of them, because the liner has to be properly taut with the pressure of the water.

Installing the inlet connector kit and skimmer

Unpack your inlet connector kit and skimmer box from the carton. Carefully read the instructions below before you start to mount them onto the pool wall.

Step1: Assembling the inlet connector kit

When filling the pool, once the level of water has reached 5 or 6 cm away from the inlet hole, install the inlet as follows:

Warning!
Never permanently install the skimmer or the inlet before the water arrives to within a few centimeters of them, because the liner has to be properly taut with the pressure of the water. Cutting more liner than necessary will damage and void the pool liner, so please trim with extra care.Caution! Do not damage any part of the inside of the skimmer box and Inlet and outlet connections with the knife.

Perforations in pool wall

• There are perforations in the pool wall for making holes for the skimmer and return tube. The holes can be cut out and all uneven surfaces are then removed with a file.
• Lastly, the edges should be treated with an anti-corrosion agent. If this is not done, the edge may rust.
• Draw/mark the round hole in the liner and then cut an X in the circle with a sharp knife.
• Do not cut beyond the marked hole. Now fit the return tube and a gasket from the inside of the pool and out through the pool wall. Attach the return tube to the pool wall by firmly tightening the plastic nut. Do not overly tighten the nut.
• Screw the Inlet connector kit to the pool wall. Make sure the Teflon tape is coated onto the threading of the inlet connector fist. (See diagram 30). Screw the remaining parts of the inlet connector kit into position. (See diagram 29, A: Pool outside, B: Pool inside, diagramm 30, A: Teflon Tape)

Assembling the Skimmer

To fit the skimmer, repeat the procedure to mark the skimmer hole (see below). The skimmer set may contain either 2 x single gaskets or one double gasket. Fit the double gasket around the skimmer perimeter and the hole in the lining so that the gasket seals both the pool wall and the liner. Fit single gaskets one on each side, i.e. one on the outside of the liner and one on the outside of the pool wall.

Single gasket

A tip to help you fit single gaskets:

• Push a screw through the upper holes on the right and left of the front skimmer frame and the gasket on the inside of the pool.
• The position of the two screw holes is now marked on the inside of the liner by the two screws inserted in the front skimmer frame.
• Prick a hole in the liner to mark these two positions.
• Now fit the front frame and skimmer gasket to the inside of the pool.

NB: Both screws must be inserted from the inside and out through the pool wall. Fit the other skimmer gasket onto the screws on the outside.

The skimmer will now be secured with the screws on the outside of the pool. Now fit the remaining screws in the same way, one after the other, in the skimmer housing. Wait to fully tighten the screws until all are in place. Once they are in place tighten the screws diagonally and uniformly to ensure that proper sealing is attained.

Note

To avoid overtightening, use a standard screw driver. Never use a power screw driver.
It is also important to check that the skimmer gasket is evenly mounted around the opening.
Lastly, use a sharp knife to cut away the liner in the skimmer opening.

• Place the basket into the skimmer housing and fix the cover. Coat the Teflon tape to the threading of the outlet connector and then connect it to the skimmer housing.
• Clip the weir to the front of the pool skimmer housing if not already assembled.
• Make sure the skimmer is sealed to the pool wall and no water is leaking.
• Connect the filtration system to the pool. Follow the filtration system’s instructions for assembly requirements before operating.

Filling the pool – Step 2

Before you fill the pool with water, thoroughly check to see if there are any loose screws, holes or tears in the liner. Continue to fill the pool until water reaches half way into the skimmer box opening. The pool is full when water reaches about 15 cm from the top of the pool wall. (See diagram 36)

Warning!
To avoid collapse, never leave the pool without water

Ladder

A ladder is included for this pool. Max. load on the ladder is 85 kg.
