SELECtING a SItE fOR yOUR RIPtIDE
POOL
Your riptide pool is designed for either indoor or
outdoor use. in either case, please adhere to the
following guidelines:
1. select a site that is stable and capable of supporting
the weight of your pool, its water, and the people
using it (refer to the model brochure or contact an
authorised riptide dealer for the filled weight of
your pool). if installed on a suspended floor/deck, it
should be capable of supporting your pool. if you have
concerns on this matter, please contact a qualified,
licensed contractor.
2. the surface needs to be flat and level as it must
provide continuous support for the entire bottom of
the pool structure. Do not shim or block up the pool
creating voids below the base framework. if you do not
intend to use a pit please ensure you have adequate
drainage or a soak away.
Indoor considerations: there are several
considerations when installing your riptide pool
indoors: the environment both around and below the
pool should be water resistant. it must be capable of
handling water splashed out from the pool as well as
the possibility of a leak from the vessel (a catch basin
equivalent to the volume of your pool is recommended);
it is recommended that the room you install the pool
in has proper ventilation. this can usually be achieved
by an exhaust fan or a dehumidifier if pool is used for
less than one hour per day.
Note: typical indoor surfaces include, but are not
limited to: concrete; wood; non-slip tile or linoleum.
Outdoor Considerations: when selecting an
outdoor site, several things should be considered.
Firstly, avoid selecting a site where excessive water
may contact the pool such as from sprinklers or a
roof edge without rain gutters. if possible, avoid areas
of direct, prolonged sunlight. the ultraviolet rays of
sunlight will tend to fade and damage your riptide
pool cover. lastly, avoid locating your pool in an area
where debris could be blown into the pool.
ELECtRICaL REQUIREmENtS
and CONNECtIONS
all riptide pools must be wired in accordance with
all national electric codes. always use a qualified
electrician to perform the electrical installation.
WIRING DIaGRamS
Please reference the wiring diagram specific to your
riptide pool‘s control system:
• Standard Riptide pool 32 amp / 45 amp model
control system
— one input 240V 32 amp / 45 amp single phase
220/240 VOLt INStaLLatION
use only a qualified, licensed electrician to make 240
Volt electrical installations.
Your 220/240 Volt standard riptide pool 32 amp
/ 45 amp model requires one fused and dedicated
electrical circuit of 32 amp / 45 amp and a minimum
supply wire size of 6mm. it is important that these
circuits are dedicated (not being used by any other
electrical appliance) or your pool may not function
properly.
the 220/240V riptide pool 45 amp model requires
one fused and dedicated electrical circuit of 45 amp
and a minimum supply wire size of 6mm. it is important
that these circuits are dedicated (not being used by
any other electrical appliance) or your pool may not
function properly.
Position your riptide pool at least 150cm [5ft] from all
electrical outlets or devices.
ELECtRICIaN’S INStRUCtIONS
we strongly recommend that a suitable seal cable
guide is installed to retain the water tight seal of
the control boxes. the incoming power line must
be suitably fused and protected to a C.e. minimum
standard and any national specific regulations
required.
