2. ADVICES FOR A CORRECT STORAGE
The wooden slats that cover the pool have been treated with Autoclave IV. Nevertheless, the wood is a
natural, noble and living material. It’s very important to bear in mind its composition and the features of
the product and to take basic precautionary measures, in order to obtain the greatest satisfaction.
Slight deformations (concave wood, convex in the sense of the length, knots….) won’t make the
assembly more difficult. Cracks and slight cracks are nor
mal drying phenomena that don’t make
problematic the assembly or the guarantee.
While the pool is not assembled yet, it’s sensitive to the temperature changes. It’s necessary to have in
mind the following advises, after receiving it:
1. If the pool is not assembled immediately:
- Storage the pool in a flat and ventilated surface, protected from important temperature and humidity
changes.
- The best thing would be to store it with some weight on, so no piece will twist.
2. If the pool is immediately assembled:
- Remove the strip carefully, not to be injured by when it is cut..
- Assemble the structure within a 24 hours term.
-
Don’t assemble the pool in different stages, with a very hot weather and exposing the wood to the
sun.
- Use appropriate tools.
IMPORTANT:
We suggest you to use a brush to apply a water-based varnish (not included in the kit) in
order to protect the wood from the weather’s effects. Thereby, the wood will keep all properties that
have been applied in the manufacturing process (autoclave and organic solvents).
We recommend to repeat the process at least once a year, to extend the life of the wood and improve
its appearance.
3. DETERMINING THE INSTALLATION SITE FOR THE POOL
1. Take the time to read carefully all of the instructions before installing the pool. Follow all the steps.
2. This pools must be assembled on a firm, strong and levelled floor and outdoors.
3. This swimming pool has been conceived and designed to be easily installed. The final result will
depend on the care and attention given to the assembly and if the instructions are followed, in order to
increase the longevity of the pool.
4. Check local codes and be sure to get building permits, if necessary. Check electrical codes and local
building codes regarding the installation of above ground pools.
5. Remember that your pool is like a big tank. If the pool was too full, the pressure against the wall
could break it and release a big quantity of water. This could cause damages and injuries to the people
that would be closet to the pool.
6. This kind of swimming pool contains big quantities of water and a significant weight. Take all the
safety measures to avoid accidents. To calculate the approximate weight of your pool, please bear in
mind that every litre of water is equivalent to a kilo.
7) At least 2 adults are required to assembly the pool.
8) The time to install the pool between 2 people is from 5 to 6 hours, depending on the model.
