Important information

Read and follow all instructions before operating the product!

ATTENTION! Steel wall pools are not suitable for salt water! All important questions such as installation requirements or building law requirements will be answered by your specialist on site.

• Constant, competent adult supervision of children and people with disabilities is important.
• Take safety measures to prevent unwanted use of the pool.
• Take safety precautions to protect children and pets.
• Pool and pool accessories should only be assembled and disassembled by adults.
• Never jump into the pool and do not dive.
• To ensure safe assembly, place the pool on a safe compact surface. Otherwise, the pool may collapse and a person in the pool may be “washed” out of the pool and injured.
• Do not allow anyone to sit or climb on the sides of the pool.
• Please remove all water toys in and around the pool when it is not in use as such toys attract small children.
• Remove chairs, tables or other climbing aids for children from the pool.
• Make sure safety equipment is by the pool and emergency numbers are by the nearest phone. Examples of rescue equipment:
• Coastguard approved ring buoy with rope, a minimum 366 cm long rescue pole.
• Keep your pool clean and pure. The pool floor must always be visible from the outside.
• If you want to use your pool at night, make sure that all the warning signs, the ladder, the pool floor and the surrounding area are sufficiently illuminated.
• Never use the pool under the influence of alcohol or drugs!
• Caution keep children away from the covered pool to prevent them from becoming entangled in the cover and drowning or seriously injuring themselves.
• Tarpaulins must be completely removed before using the pool. Make sure that there are no children or adults under the tarpaulin as they cannot be seen.
• Please do not cover the pool when the pool is in use.
• Keep the area around the pool clean to prevent injuries caused by slipping or falling.
• Keep the water clean, this way you protect all users of the pool from diseases.
• The pool is a commodity. Pay attention to the proper maintenance of your pool. Often excessive or rapidly progressing deterioration of the water quality can harm the pool.
• This pool is only suitable for outdoor use.
• To ensure that the water is circulated at least once a day, it is recommended that the filter pump is also switched on while the pool is in use. For more detailed information on how to calculate the required operating hours of the filter pump, please refer to the operating instructions.
• The pool should always be filled with water. If the pool is completely emptied, make sure to secure the steel wall, otherwise it will tip over.

SAFETY BARRIERS OR POOL COVERS CANNOT REPLACE CONTINUOUS AND COMPETENT SUPERVISION BY ADULTS. ADULTS MUST ASSUME THE ROLE OF POOL ATTENDANT AND ENSURE THE SAFETY OF BATHERS.

PAY ATTENTION, ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN WHO ARE IN AND AROUND THE POOL.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH!

Important safety instructions:
Read and follow all instructions before operating the product! These warnings, instructions and safety guidelines address some common hazards during water recreation, but they cannot cover all hazards and risks in all cases. Be careful, common sense and proper judgment while bathing are important. Keep this guide for future reference.

General

• Check pins, bolts and screws regularly for rust and check for splinters or sharp edges to avoid injury (especially on touchable surfaces).

Safety of non-swimmers

• The uninterrupted, active and attentive supervision of inexperienced swimmers and non-swimmers by a competent Adult supervision is required at all times (bearing in mind that the risk of drowning is greatest in children under five).
• Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is used.
• Inexperienced swimmers and non-swimmers should wear personal protective equipment when using the
• Use the pool.

Safety devices

• It is advisable to install a barrier (and secure all doors and windows – if possible) to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming pool.
• Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms or similar safety devices are good tools, but they are no substitute for uninterrupted and competent adult supervision.

Safety equipment

• It is advisable to keep life saving equipment (e.g. life ring) by the pool.

Safe use of the pool

• Encourage all users – especially children – to learn to swim.
• Learn the immediate life-saving measures (resuscitation) and refresh these skills regularly. This can make the life-saving difference in an emergency.
• Instruct all pool users, including children, what to do in an emergency.
• Never throw yourself into shallow water. This can lead to serious injury or death.
• Do not use the swimming pool if you are taking alcohol or medication; this may affect your ability to use the pool safely.
• If pool covers are used, remove them completely from the water surface before entering the pool.

These installation instructions generally apply if you install your swimming pool free-standing. If you partially or completely submerge your swimming pool, please observe the separate instructions in the installation manual.
To protect you from unnecessary surprises, it makes sense to make a plan about what material you need and what you want to do and on what schedule before you start building the pool.

Do not set up your pool on a windy day. The steel shell is very difficult to handle in strong winds, could buckle and be irreparably damaged.
Furthermore, fill the pool immediately after installation to avoid any damage caused by rising wind etc. The steel-walled pool must not be left
unfilled. Install the pool liner on a warm, sunny day so that it is easy to lay out in the pool. However, you should also not install the swimming pool
liner in direct sunlight, as the thermal expansion will not ensure an optimal fit of the liner. The best time to install the swimming pool liner is in the summer, early in the morning or late in the evening. Do not install the swimming pool liner when the outside temperature is below 20°C, otherwise the liner will be stiff and very difficult to install.
The swimming pool filter system and possibly other accessories are electrically operated. If you do not have appropriate electrical connections in the area of your garden, it is necessary to make them.
The required electrical connections must be made by a licensed electrical contractor. The supply lines must be earthed and additionally protected with a 30 milliamp residual current circuit breaker. The respective legal regulations such as ÖVE, VDE etc. must be complied with.
Avoid sharp objects in the pool. This could cause damage to the liner. Do not climb on the handrail. This could cause damage to the handrail or the pool wall.
Swimming pools with a depth of 132 cm are not suitable for head dives. Non- observance can lead to serious head or spinal injuries!
Never leave your children unattended when they are in or around the pool!
If there are children in your household or in the neighbourhood who are not yet able to swim, we recommend that you install an inexpensive mesh fence around the pool, which is available in DIY stores. Tarpaulins or other pool covers do not provide child safety. So do not rely on pool covers of any kind to relieve you of responsibility for your children.

Location of your pool
When choosing a location for your pool, you should consider several factors.
In order to enable proper installation of the pool, it is absolutely necessary to have a solid, load-bearing surface. Therefore, your swimming pool must never be installed on piled up surfaces. This could lead to subsidence and thus to damage to the pool. If possible, choose the sunniest spot in your garden for your pool. The larger the area around the pool, the better. At the very least, you should have a free area of approx. 90 cm around the pool.
If there is the possibility of a wind-protected location, you should choose this for your swimming pool. A swimming pool that is exposed to the wind without protection is subject to high heat loss through convection or evaporation.
You should not place your pool directly next to or under trees, shrubs, etc. (great maintenance effort).
Under no circumstances should you install your pool under overhead power lines. Avoid placing your pool on earth wires.

Location of the filter system
Your pool should be equipped with a sand filter system. In the case of free- standing filter systems, a minimum distance from the edge of the pool must be maintained. For further information, please refer to the enclosed description of the respective filter system.

Preparation of the installation site
We want you to have many years of great pleasure with your pool, so it is imperative that you give the appropriate importance to the site preparation. The better and firmer the site is prepared, the longer you will enjoy your pool. We therefore ask you to take appropriate care. It is absolutely necessary that the surface on which your pool is constructed, is flat and load-bearing (no backfilled areas).

Settlement would inevitably lead to deformation and damage to your pool. The installation site must be free of grass, stones, roots and sharp objects. Stones and roots must be removed, otherwise this could cause damage to the pool liner.

If you install your swimming pool directly on concrete, asphalt or a similar surface, it is absolutely necessary that a commercially available mineral fibre fleece is inserted as a separating layer between this surface and the liner. Under no circumstances should you install the film directly on concrete, asphalt, tar, cardboard, wood or grass. This would inevitably damage the film.

The pool is not suitable for installation in the ground; there is no guarantee if this is not done. Levelling the installation site With a straight batten – even better would be a measuring rod (ALU batten) – on which you place a spirit level, now start from the Starting from the lowest point, level your set-up area. Dig out the raised areas. Do not fill up the low spots, as this could lead to settling. (Picture 6, 7)

Recommendation – Preparation of the installation site
For this type of pool, it is recommended that a bottom slab is concreted. Do not forget to provide appropriate reinforcement. The bottom slab must be exactly horizontal.
If you do not want to pour a concrete floor slab, you should use concrete underlay slabs as shown. Concrete slabs underneath the bottom rail connectors are not absolutely necessary, but we recommend their installation for stability and safety reasons. Otherwise subsidence may occur, which could subsequently damage the pool. Alternatively, we recommend tread-proof clamp- fold panels (5cm), which are available from us separately.

The concrete slabs must be sunk flush with the installation site. For this type of installation, it is essential to lift off the turf. (Picture 40,41)

• 730 x 366 x 132 (X) Length 790 x 518 Width (Y)

Earth installation
If the pool is installed in the ground, you must provide suitable pressure protection around the pool. This can be made of lightweight concrete, lean concrete or by building a surrounding wall (at least 15 cm thick). It is essential to take this into account when planning the excavation!
Why? The pressure of the backfill with soil or gravel is a multiple of the water pressure. If backfilling with lightweight or lean concrete is not used for stabilization, the pool may collapse when emptied.

CONSTRUCTION PARTS
Before starting the installation, remove all the components belonging to the pool and put them in order. If the kit is incomplete, contact the after-sales service.

ASSEMBLING THE CENTRE

SUPPORT BEFORE MOUNTING
Very important: Always wear gloves while working. At least 2 people must carry out the installation.

• Place the short U-profile (5) with the open sides up and push the long U-profile (4) with the open sides down against the top of the short profile, creating a kind of field. Make sure that the holes on both profiles fit, but do not screw them, fig.3.
• Now, as shown in Fig. 4, attach the centre support or column (3) to the top of the two profiles. an.
• Attach the amplifier plates (right and left) (12)(13) to each side of the centre support (3) as shown in fig. 5. The amplifier plates must be under the U-profiles. With regard to the load capacity of the amplifier plates, use 3 screws (8).
• In order to accommodate the 8 mm x 12 cm bolts and 8 mm nuts (11), all the holes must match. Make sure that reinforcement (14) is given on both sides of the unit. Use the 8 mm x 11 cm bolts and 8 mm nuts to fix the top of the amplifier plates of the columns (12), (13), Fig. 6. (15).
• e) After all screws have been tightened without using force, the running rail connection (6) must be attached with a screw (9), as shown in fig. 7. We call all groups of connected elements a module.

MOUNTING OF THE SUPPORT
The modules must be assembled in pairs and must be connected to a support. The carrier must be screwed to the end part (4) with the 5 mm x 15 mm screws and the 6 mm nuts (10), fig. 8.
Note that the support must be attached to the lower profile part (4), Fig. 9. so that the bolt heads are on the upper side of the profile and the nuts are on the lower side of the profile.

ASSEMBLY OF WORKING STRAIGHTS
After all modules have been installed and connected to the support, you can set them up at their destination.
If your pool has an odd number of beams (e.g. a 730×366 pool with 3 beams), look for the centre of the previously levelled area and place the first module there. Then attach the others of the same length.

The same number of modules must be located on each side of the pool, Fig. 10 and Fig. 11.

It is extremely important that all profiles are straight, flat and perfectly aligned. Take your time to make sure that this is the case.

MOUNTING THE METAL GUIDES
Then insert the transition guide “B” corresponding to the pool model you have purchased on both sides of the first module (take into account that the oval model 550×366 is NOT equipped with transition guides “B”) (see transition guide table for this). The transition guide must be located in the runner connection (6), fig. 12.
On each side of the pool, place the transition guide in the track connection (6), Fig. 13 Then continue with the installation of the transition guides “A”.

TRANSITION GUIDES
Depending on their intended positions, the transition guides have been designed in different colours. Use the following table to select the quantity and types of bottom guides required for installation for each pool model you have purchased.

Transition guides table

Here you can see the modules and the location of the transition guides “A” and “B”, Fig. 13 (550 oval), Fig. 14 (640 oval), Fig. 15 (730/915 oval).

ASSEMBLING THE LOWER ARCHED METAL GUIDES PCM
The T1 panel is directly adjacent to the transition guides A, to which the lower arched guide (PCM) connects and runs until the semicircle is closed, photo 3. The transition guides A must run into the T1 panel, photos 4, 5, leaving a space between the profiles.

MODULE INSTALLATION
After the assembly of the base is complete, make sure that the sides are straight. Make sure that the dimensions are correct by determining the distance from the first module outside of the straight part to the outside of the other module.

These measurements must be taken from the lower module parts. This ensures a higher measurement accuracy.
It is extremely important that A=B and C=D, Fig. 17. If the readings are not the same, do not proceed with the assembly, otherwise further problems may arise during the assembly.

BASE PLATE ASSEMBLY
Set up a 122 cm base plate (1) in each module. These plates must be mounted with the grooved side up and the flat side down. These plates have two holes on one side and you must ensure that these are aligned in the direction of the centre column, Fig. 18.

The holes on the base plate must correspond to the holes on the U-profile. Then they must be fixed in between with screws (9). The outline of a module is drawn on the ground with spray paint, lime or a powder. Once this is done, the module is moved to one side and the soil underneath is removed with a shovel (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=508QF1Pdulk). The hole depth must be about 5 cm, Fig. 18, and completely level. After the hole has been machined and levelled, the module is inserted, using a spirit level on the top of the module, fig. 19, to ensure that it is properly level.

This procedure must be repeated on each module side of the pool. The measuring tape must be used to check the readings again, as this ensures that the modules have not shifted during the process (and are still exactly in position), Fig. 18.

Then the base plate is set up under each module on the back of the module, Fig. 20. To do this, the module is tilted and the earth under the plate is levelled. After installing the plate, check the module flatness again and take the measurement again, fig. 19.

Finally, cover the slab with soil. Then the transition guides “B” and “A” are set up again. The transition guides “B” must be fixed in place by removing or filling in the soil until it is level.

ASSEMBLY OF THE STEEL WALL (CH)
Installation must be carried out on a sunny, windless day by two or more people. It is extremely important that gloves and glasses are worn during installation to avoid possible injuries caused by steel edges. During installation, the steel wall must not be bent and must be rolled out very carefully.

• On a cardboard top in the centre of the circle, set up the steel wall vertically (with the inside sticker of the wall facing up). This makes it easier to roll out the steel wall and avoid scratches. The opening prepared for fixing the siphon is at the end of the steel roll.
  Reminder: to avoid cuts, wear gloves and glasses during steel wall assembly.

• Without finishing, fold out the wall completely and start aligning the wall in the opening found at the bottom guide. The beginning of the steel wall must be aligned with the base plate T1, photo 4. Normally, the wall assembly starts from the base plate T1 located in the middle of the semicircle to ensure that the opening prepared for the siphon is right next to it after the wall has been fully unrolled.

• Continue to check regularly that the wall is well positioned in the opening of the PCM guides. Also check that the transition guides are well positioned.
  Tip: to prevent the walls from tilting inwards during assembly, fix the wall to the vertical supports or columns (1), photo 5.

• Complete the circle with the wall and make sure that the holes on each steel wall match, then complete with the screws (TO) and make sure that the screw heads are in the inner part of the wall. The washers (AR) and nuts (TU) must be on the outside of the pool, Fig. 22.
  Very important: Fit all screws in the steel wall, starting from the bottom upwards to the top end of the wall, leaving the first hole on the topmost side without screws. Press all screws with a screwdriver and the nuts with a spanner. If the installation and the fastening of the screws and nuts are not carried out correctly or are incomplete, the warranty for the pool will be invalidated.

• Attach the PVC support so that the screw heads are covered (inside the pool), as this protects the casing from friction with the screws, Fig. 23.
  In this area the support must be firmly clamped and use tape or something similar to tack it to the steel wall if necessary.

Before installing the formwork, check that the guides form a geometric curve. Before placing the formwork, check the correct dimension of the pool with a measuring device.
Fig. 23.

• Before installing the casing, apply a layer of thinly sifted grit (no stones) or use it in the inner area of the pool with a thickness of 5 cm. Make sure that all metal parts of the pool that could damage the boarding are protected, otherwise the warranty will be void. Level the sand layer with a rake. You can also use our optionally available polystyrene wedges. These are glued to the round bottom insulation along the pool wall with adhesive force.

VERY IMPORTANT: To protect the perimeter inside the pool, use pure sand (no stones or other objects) and form a triangular wedge (height 20 cm, base 20 cm). Like this Fig. 24.
damage to the formwork due to water pressure is avoided. At the same time, the formwork cannot slip under the steel wall, which is helpful with regard to the correct distribution of forces. It is very important that no thin, grainy or beach sand, photo 24, is used for this purpose. Failure to apply this sand wedge will invalidate the guarantee.

WALL COVERING
Before installing the decking, it is recommended that the entire interior of the pool, including the sand wedge tops, cover the wall TOI or install artificial grass.

CORRECT SHUTTERING ASSEMBLY
To install the casing correctly, it must be perfectly centered and in line with the pool’s foundation. It is essential that there are as few folds as possible.

1. The central weld visible on the casing foundation must be located so that its ends match the metal plates connecting the lower pool guides. This central weld must be fully centred.
2. In both “A-A” bends, Fig.25, the distance from the formwork to the steel wall must be the same, as this allows the formwork to be adjusted equally in both bends.

INSTALLATION OF THE PVC BOARDING (L)
Before installing the casing, you must cut out the hole prepared for the siphon (with scissors that can cut metal). The cut-out parts must be filed down to ensure that the metal cannot damage the casing.

Important: The installation of the shuttering should be carried out by two or more people. The PVC used in our shuttering is designed to withstand solar radiation over a long second space. Depending on the intended use or climate conditions, the material properties may vary slightly.

Do not under any circumstances walk with shoes on the top of the casing or leave tools there. If the casing is punctured during installation, the warranty will be voided (check the warranty).

The shell is the most important and vulnerable part of your pool. The shell must be unpacked without knives or sharp objects and stored separately from the rest of your pool. Store in a safe place where it cannot be damaged by tools or the steel wall of the pool.

The shuttering installation should be carried out on a sunny day (at least 20ºC). The coping has been developed based on vinyl material. This material has a high degree of mobility (therefore it can be properly adjusted during the assembly of the pool) and therefore it must be warm during the assembly of the pool.

• Position the formwork (L) in the centre of the pool, photo 10, and unroll it along the pool, photo 11. The central weld connecting the pool foundation must be perfectly centred. Important: when unrolling the formwork, turn it over so that the folded parts face upwards and the shaping ones face downwards.

• Lift the boarding wall, protect the top edge of the steel wall of your pool and secure it in this position with clothes pegs. After the casing has been positioned, there may be excess material or bagging at the bottom. Clean up this excess material by gently pulling on the casing (from the outside of the pool). It is extremely important that the casing is centred and that the central weld at the foundation of the casing is in the middle of the pool. It is also important to ensure that there are as few folds as possible. To keep the number of wrinkles from the bottom of the pool as low as possible, you must spread out the formwork towards the sides of the pool while the pool is being filled with water. Take your time for this process.
  Fill the pool with about 2 cm of water, stretch and spread the casing from the central weld and towards the sides and top. This gives, photo 13, as good a tension as possible. Check that the water is evenly distributed in the pool. If pools of water form at the bottom of the pool, it means that there are still gaps at the bottom. If the water collects on one side of the pool, it means that this area is not level. If this is the case, you will have to repeat the whole process again from the beginning of the installation, starting with the proper levelling of this area.

• After the bottom is free of wrinkles, fill the pool with 30 cm of water, BUT DO NOT FILL IT COMPLETELY AT THIS TIME. The water pressure will cause the casing to stick to the walls and bottom.

• At the same time, check that the formwork fits properly to the walls. Correct any excess formwork by gently tightening on the outside of the pool, thereby reducing the amount of formwork in the pool.

INSTALLATION OF THE UPPER PROTECTIVE SECTION (PL)

• When installing the protection profile (PL), Fig. 24., remove all the clamping brackets located above the casing and along the perimeter of the pool.
• Mark and cut off the overhang on the intermediate construction, photos 15 and 16.

INSTALLATION OF THE UPPER SECTION (PBS)
Important: If your pool has a decorative trim, set it up using the decoration manual before installing the top PBS profiles.

• Adjust the top section (PBS) on the top of the protection section (PL) around the entire pool perimeter, photo 17.
• Mark and cut off the overhang on the intermediate structure, photos 18 and 19. To prevent the pool walls from falling inwards, align the top panel (5) on the central supports (1).

ASSEMBLY OF THE VERTICAL SECTIONS (VER)

• Align the lower part of one of the vertical sections (VER) (1) with the two small tabs on the foundation plates (T1) (2). The tabs must be on the inside of the vertical section, Fig. 26.
• Align the holes for the orientation screws TO2 (3) on both sides of the vertical section and make sure they line up with the holes in the T1 (2) plate tabs, Fig. 26.
• Set up the top section (T2) (4) at the top edge of the pool and on a vertical support (VER), with the tabs on the inside of the section, Fig. 27.
• Match the holes for the orientation screws TO2 (6), fig. 27, in the three holes of the vertical section and make sure they fit into the T2 (6) lug holes.
• Repeat steps a-d for the other pool sections.

MOUNTING THE HORIZONTAL PROFILES (HOR 1,2,3)

• Install the HOR 1 top profiles (straight cut) at the top of the central columns, photos 20 and 21, and align the extremes on the top plate, fig. 28. Set up the screws and bolt them without pressing on. The 550×366 pools are not equipped with a HOR1 profile, so you must start with the HOR2 profile (section b).
• Align all the top HOR2 profiles on the top of the vertical supports and on the top of the T2 panel, photos 22 and 23. Align the holes on them and screw the screws without tightening.
• Adjust the upper profiles until they are set up together, but without placing one over the other. Press in all screws, photo 23.

Important: If one of the vertical supports (VER) is not straight in relation to the fluted wall, adjust the vertical support with light hammer blows on a piece of wood on the foundation plate (T1). If the top of the vertical support is not levelled, this must also be readjusted.

ASSEMBLY OF THE TOP HUB CAP (EMB y EMBR)
Level a border (EMB) in the curve at the ends of two upper profiles. Hook the border under the inner edges of two upper profiles, photo 23 and pull it towards you, photo 24, then hook the border to the outer part, photo 25. Repeat the process with the other borders.
Level a border (EMBR) in the straight part, hook the border under the inner edges of top profiles and pull it towards you, then hook the border to the outer part.

In conclusion
Place the enclosed warning labels in a visible place, photo 29,30 Put the protective caps on the screws, photo 31
Check for sharp edges at the screw connection, grind them down if necessary, photo 32

• Install the ladder according to the installation instructions and place it in a location, if possible visible, through which the pool can be entered and exited. Remove the ladder after use.
• Mount the filter unit according to the following instructions. The filter unit must be separated from the pool by at least 3.5 m after it has been connected to the pool with hoses.

INSTALLATION OF THE CHECK VALVE (VR)

The non-return valve ensures that the filtered water is reintroduced from the filter system, Fig. 33.
Important: Teflon must be applied to all threads. Excess Teflon can cause the component to break. Remove the rear fitting of the non-return valve and insert Teflon, screw through.

1. After the water level is +/- 10 cm, Fig. 34,  mark the hole in the casing under the lower edge of the valve with a felt-tip pen and cut the casing in a cross shape with a sharp-edged knife from the inside wall of the pool towards the outside wall, without going over the punched hole.
2. After the seals have been fitted, insert the rubber (B) into the pre-cut hole from the inside to the outside wall on the non-return valve (A). Cut off the casing part hanging over the outside.
3. Place the rubber washer (C) on the outer wall, apply Teflon to the threads and tighten it with a large nut (D). On the return hose leading from the filter unit to the check valve (a), apply Teflon and secure everything with a clamp (H).
   For better filtration, we recommend guiding the water. To do this, loosen the washer (AR), move the flushing head ball (BO) slightly upwards on one side of the pool and tighten the washer (AR). This will direct impurities to the siphon.

SKIMMER INSTALLATION (SK)
Fill the pool to 5 cm below the siphon hole, Fig. 35. On the casing, mark the square hole for the installation of the siphon with a felt-tip pen and cut off the casing part marked with a sharp-edged knife.

Place the double rubber washer (Z) on the steel wall. The steel wall and the casing must fit into the washer groove. Next, install the siphon frame with screws. Make sure that all holes are sealed (washer, hole and siphon). With screws, fix the holes one after the other until there is a perfect match, but do not tighten them too much. Start fixing and finally tighten the screws in the same order, fig. 36.

Cover the thread of the frame (M) with Teflon and fix it stably to the siphon. With a clamp (H) attach one end of the hose to the frame (M). Connect the other end of the hose to the water filter inlet and tighten it with a clamp. with regard to water tightness, it is important to apply Teflon to all threads. Use a screwdriver to install the sluice gate (P) Place the closing basket (S) inside the siphon and the lid (C) on top.

POOL CARE
Observing the correct water composition is the single most important factor to increase the life span and maintain the appearance of the film material, as well as clear, pure and healthy water.
The most important thing in water care is a correctly adjusted pH value. This is the prerequisite for an optimal effect of the water care products used. Measure the pH value immediately after filling your pool with the chlorine and pH value tester. The value determined (comparison measurement) should be between 7.2 and 7.4. The pH value should always be in this range. The measurement should be taken at least 1 – 2 times per week.

The pH value is changed by factors such as water temperature, bathing frequency, dirt ingress and other environmental influences. Please also note the information in our pool care instructions: http://www.steinbach.at/poolpflege

End of the season
At the end of the swimming pool season, the water level below the skimmer or the inlet nozzle must be lowered.
By adding a winter agent and covering with a winter cover, you only need to fill the pool up to the middle of the skimmer with fresh water again in spring.
In addition, the connecting hoses to the filter system must be dismantled. The filter system or the filter pump is drained by opening the drain plugs. Filter systems that are located outdoors must be stored in a frost-proof room in winter.
We recommend winter storage only when the water temperature is below 12°C. Damage caused by frost is not covered by warranty!
