 TROPIC WIOODEN POOLS

HOTLINE

 

Store the ladder in a dry place during the winter. There should be no means of access to the pool while it 

is not in use. The ladder wood should be treated in the same way as the other wooden elements.
We recommend that you secure access to the finished pool with one of the measures set out in the French 

pool safety standard NF P 90-306, 307, 308 & 309 that is: Safety barrier - Alarm - Safety cover - Shelter.

Inspect the accessible nuts and bolts regularly and carry out any maintenance required (re-tighten, treat 

traces of rust, etc.).

Take care with the liner of your pool, do not treat it roughly. Make sure that correct tension is maintained on 

the liner, failure to do so could result in tears and leaks. See the guarantee conditions at the end of these 

instructions.
During the life of your pool it may be necessary to empty it totally. In this event, take every precaution 

necessary to avoid accidents and danger (falls, etc. ). Avoid leaving the pool empty for more than 48 hours, 

this could result in deformation of the structure.

REMINDER:  NO  DIVING  -  NO  WALKING  ON  THE  COPING  -  NEVER  LEAVE  AN  EMPTY  POOL 

UNCOVERED.

18.1 

Water treatment

To ensure the comfort of pool users, you will need to treat the pool water. Follow the recommendations 

concerning operation of the filtration group: commissioning, frequency of use for regeneration of the water, 

maintenance, inspections (pipes, nuts and bolts), etc. Monitor the build up of dirt in the sand filter (see the 

section on filter back washing).
During the pool season, the filter should be run every day for long enough to renew the entire pool water 

volume at least three times every 24 hours.

To ensure optimal efficiency of the filtration system, make sure that the water level remains correct and 

constant. The water level should be 2/3 of the way up the skimmer mouth.
To fill your pool, use tap water, its pH is close to the ideal pH. If you use water from a well or some other 

private source you must have it analysed beforehand. You will need to test the pH of your pool at regular 

intervals and adjust it if necessary to keep it between 7.2 and 7.6. Treatment chemicals for this purpose 

are widely available.
To preserve the quality of the pool water, it will need to be tested and treated regularly. Frequency will 

depend on a number of conditions; pool situation, bather load, weather conditions, etc.
As pool water cannot be directed into the sewage system, it must be directed as rain run-off. Familiarise 

yourself with the regulations concerning disposal of pool waste water in effect in the area in which the pool 

is located.

Failure to abide by maintenance instructions may entail serious risks to health and safety, notably 

of children.

18.2 

Accessories

Electrical equipment such as underwater lights that require an electrical supply must be fitted and wired in 

according to the standards in effect. We recommend that you take great care in this matter and that you 

call on the services of qualified specialists.
The pool can be fitted with a bubble cover that is spread over the pool while it is not in use. The action of 

sunlight on the cover heats the water below and the cover helps maintain the water temperature at night. 

Upon removing the cover from the pool, turn it over to allow it to dry, then roll it up and store it out of the 

way. Never fold the bubble cover, this could cause it to tear. Wipe it down from time to time with a damp 

cloth. This cover should under no circumstances be considered a safety device. A safety winter cover (that 

complies with the French safety standard NF P90-308) is available as an option to protect the pool. This 

high quality product is extremely hard-wearing and attractively finished. For storage and upkeep, follow the 

same instructions as for the bubble cover.
