We highly recommend you hire a certi ed installer recommended by your retailer to install your pool. If you decide

1.1 One of the most important steps is to choose the ideal location for your pool.
This will determine the life expectancy of your pool.
1.1.1 The ground must have a good drainage and be solid, have a positive slope (Keeping the water away from pool
base), should not be on a hollow ground since this will result in a build up of water, this could jeopardize your
foundation and damage your pool.
1.1.2 The ground must be free of rocks, pebbles and tree roots.
1.1.3 Never install your pool in a place where chemicals have been spread, this could damage the liner and rust the
wall.
1.1.4 Never install your pool on a concrete oor, asphalt, tarpaper, grass, wood, gravel or clay.
1.1.5 Position your pool far from trees, electric lines or cables, buildings (house, garage, ect.). Swimmers could use
them for diving and could get seriously injured.
1.1.6 The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 6ft (1.83m) from any electrical receptacle. All 125 volt, 15 and
20 ampere receptacles located within 20 ft (6.0 m) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupt-
er (GFCI). The 20 ft (6 m) distance is measured via the shortest straight line distance the supply cord would follow
without piercing a oor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window, or other permanent barrier.
1. Follow the installation steps thoroughly without omitting anything. It can result in serious accidents.
2. Your pool must be level: Your foundation base should have a maximum of ½'' of slope. The slope of the oor from
the shallow wall towards the deep area shall not exceed 1 ft in 7 ft (1:7, 305 mm: 2134 mm) to the point of the rst
slope change. The slope of the oor from the point of the rst slope change towards the deepest point shall not
exceed 1 ft in 3 ft (1:3), (305 mm: 914 mm). The slope adjacent to the shallow area shall have a maximum slope of 1 ft
in 3 ft (1:3, 305 mm:914 mm) and the slope adjacent to the side walls shall have a maximum slope of 1 ft in 1 ft (1:1,
305 mm: 305 mm). The point of the rst slope change shall be de ned as the point at which the shallow area slope
exceeds 1 ft in 7 ft (1:7, 305 mm: 2134 mm) and be at least 6 ft (1829 mm) from the shallow end wall of the pool.
3. When closing the wall, follow the instructions in our manual using the 2 steel bars and all provided hardware. (all
holes must contain a screw)
4. The cove should be well compacted. A lack of thoroughness can result in the liner getting jammed under the rails
and perforate. the ground could deform, making the pool sink in or even burst.
5. The pool was not designed to be buried (inground). The wieght of the soil will crush the wall inside the pool.
6. No installation should be done on an unstable ground, with drainage problem, ground movement ans instability
and at least 10 meters from a tree.
