You are advised to read this entire manual before

starting your project.

In the event of any problems please contact your

dealer  immediately.  Warranty  claims  will  not  be

entertained if there is delay in reporting a problem or

these instructions have not been followed correctly.

Introduction

• Do not store the wood in direct sunlight or under a

black cover as this will cause distortion which will

make installation extremely difficult.

• Assemble the pool structure as soon as possible

after receipt.

• Assemble the pool structure in one go, preferably

in the morning while the temperature is cool.

• If the pool must be stored then use a cool well-

ventilated  place,  sheltered  from  sun  and  rain.  If

possible keep the pool in its original packaging.

• Components  that  are  damaged,  cracked  or

distorted due to bad storage and/or handling on site

are not covered by warranty.

In the pre-assembly period the wood is sensitive to

variations in temperature and humidity. It is therefore

necessary that you take the following precautions

immediately after delivery.
Wood  is  a  living  material  and  once  cut  the

appearance of cracks, slight movements or changes

in  colour  are  normal  and  the  planks  (except  in

extreme circumstances) do not need replacing. The

planks will have been recently treated and may be

delivered to you still moist. In case of a rapid change

in temperature; these planks can dry very quickly and

lose 1 or 2mm of height. This might give you the

impression  that  they  are  lifting  up  while  they  are

actually shrinking.

Recommendations for Storage after Delivery 

• Your  filtration  kit  (filter,  pump  and  any  optional

heating) should be placed at least 2m from the pool

shell. You may need to purchase extra pipe and

fittings for this. A good option is to house this in a

filter box or small garden building.

• It is important to ensure the electricity supply for the

pump or any other electrical item has 30mA RCD

protection  and  conforms  to  current  electrical

regulations.

• Never leave children unattended around the pool

when completed or at any stage of construction. 

• The pool is designed for domestic use. Running

along the top rail, diving or jumping into the water

from  the  edge  must  not  be  allowed  under  any

circumstances.  The  pool  is  not  suitable  for  the

addition of diving boards.

General Safety Precautions

Check the packing list detailing the contents. As you

unpack  your  pool  check  that  you  have  all  parts

required  and  that  their  condition  is  satisfactory.

Contact your dealer immediately if you are in any

doubt or believe parts may be missing/damaged.

Kit Contents

There are no specialist tools required but in addition

to regular hand tools the following will be useful.
• Heavy mallets for assembling walls.
• Large spirit level and set square.
• Quality battery drill with screw driver bits, drill bits

and counter sink.

• Clamps for holding components.
• Large mitre block with 90 & 22½ degree slots for

cutting pipes and liner lock.

• Large scissors for cutting underlay felt.

Required Tools

Safety Precautions

Never leave children unattended around the pool

when completed or at any stage of construction.
