Assembly and
Operating Instructions
Oval-Shaped Pool
SWIM
Important notes:
Please first read all parts of these instructions very carefully
and follow the advice given.
Before beginning with installation, check the swimming pool
components and make sure that nothing is missing. Also
ensure that all components are in perfect condition. We can-
not accept any liability for transport damage on parts which
have already been assembled or installed.
We reserve the right to make alterations which reflect tech-
nical progress.
If you fit your swimming pool with electrical equipment (e.g.
filter system, underwater spotlights, counter-current unit
etc.), all electrical work involved must be carried out by a
recognised specialist company in accordance with relevant
DIN and VDE regulations (e.g. DIN VDE 0100 Section
702).
Before beginning instal-
lation, you must observe
the following points:
Preparing the foundations:
The ground location for the swimming pool must be firm and
completely level; sloping areas must therefore be dug out.
The ground under the swimming pool must consist of natu-
rally compacted soil and not simply be filled in. Filled-in soil
must be compacted so that the pool does not sink into it.
We
always recommend installing a concrete baseplate.
The soil must be freed from any pieces of wood or other
debris which could damage the PVC liner.
In the case of an asphalt or concrete base the PVC liner must
be protected from direct contact with the ground. We rec-
ommend the use of our PE protective ground tarpaulins for
this, or insulating and protective matting.
Please be sure that the PVC liner only comes into contact
with materials which are compatible with PVC. We
therefore always recommend Future Pool PE protective
ground tarpaulins or insulating and protective matting as
underlay.
Temperature
The PVC liner of your swimming pool is made from ther-
moplastic material. You should therefore make sure that you
assemble your pool under external temperature conditions of
approx. + 15° C to +25° C. And you should also not hang the
liner in the pool in strong sunlight; on warm and sunny days
you should wait until evening before hanging the liner.
Above-ground or in-ground?
Caution:
The SWIM oval-shaped pool is only suitable
for complete in-ground installation! Retaining walls are
necessary along the parallel sides!
Preparing pool foundations
The ground surface in the area of the foundation pit for the
swimming pool must satisfy statics requirements. The
ground under the swimming pool must consist of naturally
compacted soil and not simply filled in. Filled-in soil must
be compacted so that the pool does not sink into it. However,
it is better if the pool is located on a concrete baseplate.
On no account use fill-in soil on sloping locations! Slopes
must be dug away. Remaining sloping sides must be sup-
ported by retaining walls. On no account must the pool wall
shore up the slope! Drainage must be installed if the ground
slopes down to the swimming pool or where groundwater is
encountered! If in doubt you should consult a building ex-
pert, as we accept no liability for in-ground installation.
Excavating the pool foundations
Keep to the minimum dimensions of the foundation pit set
out in the table below!
