Installation/Assembly
a) Choosing a site
It is extremely important to choose a suitable site for your pool BEFORE you fill it
with water. Follow the guidelines below when choosing a site for the pool. This will
simplify installation and ensure trouble-free use of the pool.
1. Make sure that the site you choose is stable, even and level.
WARNING!
A pool
installed on an uneven surface may leak, be misshapen or collapse, causing
damage to property or injury to people in and around the pool. Never use sand or
any other material to level the ground under the pool.
2. Before positioning the pool, clear stones, debris and other items with sharp
edges from the surface. It is a good idea to use a groundsheet (available from
specialist dealers).
3. Do not choose a site directly below overhead power lines or trees or less than five
metres from buildings. Check also that there are no buried cables, telephone lines
or gas pipes under your chosen site. Do not choose a site with wooden decking or
any other surface that has been treated with oil-based products.
4. Do not place the pool close to balconies or other raised structures. People may be
tempted to jump into the pool from a height, and this may result in injury.
5. Choose the location of the pool with care. Grass and other vegetation under
the pool will die. Avoid locations where there are weeds that might grow through
the floor and lining of the pool.
6. If possible, locate the pool in direct sunlight. This is a good way of heating the pool.
7. Never drag the pool along the ground. Your pool is a delicate product which can
easily be damaged. Carry it to your chosen location.
b) Assembling the pool and filling it with water
Note:
We strongly recommend that the pool should be installed by two people.
1. If you are using a groundsheet, unfold it and lay it out on the site you have
chosen for the pool. Make sure that the groundsheet is spread out smoothly over
the ground, without folds or creases. Make sure that the power lead to the pump
can reach the socket safely.
2. Unpack the pool and place it in the centre of the groundsheet (if you are using one).
Make sure that the connections and drain hole of the pump are correctly positioned.
Note:
Do not drag the pool as this may cause tears and other damage.
