Wood is a living material that responds to changes in temperature and humidity; cracks and splits may appear; this is
natural and in no way impacts the service life of our products.
The wooden components of this pool are subjected to a Class IV autoclave treatment that complies with standards in effect,
they present no danger to people or animals that may come into direct contact with the wood.
To preserve the original colour, use a colourless wood finish. You could alternatively opt for a coloured finish or
treat the wood with a colourless oil to slow the decoloration process. Before applying the finish, check that it is
microporous and will allow the wood to breathe. Make sure that the product will not migrate (wet wood) over time
to the interior of the structure and damage the liner. Ideally, the finish should be applied before assembling the pool
structure. Use high quality products!!! This will guarantee that the finish will last longer. However, we strongly recommend
that you test the product on a small unseen part of the pool before applying it to the entire surface area.
Over time, the wood will inevitably get dirty. Clean it once a year with a high pressure jet to remove dirt trapped in the
pores of the wood. Take care to regulate the water pressure to avoid damaging the finish or raising wood fibres.
This pool is delivered as a kit and is not designed to be dismantled.
This pool is designed to be used by persons 3 years of age and older. It is understood that young children and non-swimmers
using the pool will wear flotation devices. For your safety and that of your children, we recommend that you read and
apply the safety recommendations on page 27.
Use of a pool kit implies adherence to safety recommendations outlined in the maintenance and operating
instructions.
octo 440 & +460
maximum 4 people allowed in the pool at any one time.
octo 530
maximum 5 people allowed in the pool at any one time.
octo +540 and +640 maximum 6 people allowed in the pool at any one time.
octo+ 840
maximum 8 people allowed in the pool at any one time.
Ladders should only be used to enter and exit the pool. Any other use is prohibited and could be dangerous.
The wooden access ladder should be taken away and stored systematically after the last person leaves the pool. This is to prevent
the risk of drowning. We have designed a fast efficient locking system, use it!! 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
WATER TREATMENT & MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTRATION SYSTEM
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.
