CAUTION:
This type of configuration must be protected by one of the four safety systems that comply with French
safety standards concerning safety of in-ground pools; safety barrier, alarm, safety cover or a shelter.
The decree no. 2003-1389 dated 31/12/2003 renders it mandatory for clients of pools installed after the 1st of
January to have the pool fitted with a system to prevent drowning before it is filled with water. Said system must comply
with either the French safety standards, or with those standards, technical specifications or manufacturing procedures set
out in the regulations of a member state of the European Community or another state party to the Agreement on the
European Economic Area, providing for an equivalent level of safety.
These provisions apply to open air pools that are partially or fully in-ground.
Below, we suggest implementation configurations that show basic recommendations for non-humid ground. You
should adapt these to your installation, notably, in humid areas (stagnant water, water source, zone subject to flooding,
etc.) a sump drain pump may be required for efficient drainage.
In any case, the drainage system must be adequate to prevent the stagnation of water that could cause the wood
to rot. We recommend that you follow the installation instructions to the letter; failure to abide by these instructions will
render the usual guarantees null and void.
Should you have any questions, and to ensure a quality installation, do not hesitate to contact a specialist.

IMPLEMENTATION FOR PARTIALLY IN-GROUND OR
IN-GROUND POOLS
For selection of the site, refer to the instructions at
the beginning of this document.
Once the excavation is at the required depth, make
sure that the surface is perfectly flat and level.
Next, dig
a trench to allow drainage under the walls of the pool.
Trace the shape of the trench, to assist this process you may
temporarily assemble the first row of slats (illustrations 27
and 28, depending on the model). The trench should be wide
enough to extend beyond each side of the walls once it is
built.
The cradle trenches are dug as described previously
(illustrations 21 to 26).
If you intend to install the filtration
system in a box adjoined to the pool, remember to dig a
trench to run the power cable. Similarly, if the filtration
system is to be installed at a distance from the pool, dig a
trench to accommodate passage of the suction and return
lines.
Max. depth of the excavation:
for pool height 133cm = 129cm
for pool height 146cm = 142cm
After the trench under the pool wall is dug, fill it to a
depth of approximately 10 cm using small sized gravel.
Make sure that the gravel is well compacted to avoid
future subsidence that will impact the pool structure.
Finish filling the trench with compacted sand, the filled
trench should be level with the ground.
CAUTION!
We strongly recommend that you install the
filter below the water line. If the filter is installed above
the water line, there is a risk of deformation due to
depressurisation. At most, the filter should be installed
level with the coping. In the event that the filter is
installed above the water line, mount a check vent on the
return line and an easily accessible check valve on the
suction line.
