GROUND PREPARATION
The surface the Fastlane Pool is to be assembled on must be firm and level. The Fastlane
Pool must be installed as level as possible, within 2”- 3” of level (from the highest point to
the lowest point of the pool). If you are going to be 2”– 3” off level, be sure to install the
skimmer on the lower side to ensure your skimmer will not suck air into the pump. If the
ground is not level, take the earth from the high side of the surface; do not add earth to
the lower area of the surface.
Once the surface is level, clear any debris or sharp objects that may be uncomfortable to
walk on or could potentially puncture the liner. A foam flooring may be added under the
liner for additional comfort.
The supporting legs (Strut-G shown below) burden much of the weight of the Fastlane Pool
and may need additional support in “soft ground” installations, or in areas that may
experience excess ground water. A 2”x 8” x 22” piece of lumber installed under each
support leg and leveled with the ground is very effective. Make sure the entire base of
each leg (Strut G) is on the 2” x 8” lumber as any over-hang may result in bending of the
leg. A concrete slab (not a paver) of the similar dimensions may be used as well. Please
note that any support(s) added under the pool structure must be sunk so that the top of
the support is level with the ground surface. Lifting the struts or frame in any manner may
cause excessive stress on the liner and frame, and may void the Fastlane Pool warranty.
(Refer to Diagram #1: Supporting Legs.)

POOL ASSEMBLY
Your pool is comprised of various parts. Therefore, before proceeding with installation,
ensure that all necessary parts are present and group like parts together.
