The swimming pool must only be installed above ground and on a hard, solid ground. The swimming pool must be installed
near a drain or sewage system to avoid flooding in case of breakage/leakage.
A large area is ideal. However, if a flat area, large enough for the swimming
pool is not available, then
choose an area where minimum digging is required. Under no circumstances, the swimming pool
must be installed below ground level.
The maximum weight that the installation site can support must be taken into consideration.
Remove roots, grass and stones in the selected area, including those under the ground. The weight of the water
will compress these elements between the liner and the earth under the swimming pool, resulting in damages.
Grass left underneath the pool liner will rot and give of an unpleasant odour and stones and roots will damage the
pool liner.
Do not install your swimming pool on: marshland, tar, gravel and wood. A foundation made of levelled, solid and
very compact soil/earth is the best base for your swimming pool. Do not install your swimming pool on a fragile
earth or on a site that will not support the weight of the pool.
ELECTRIC WIRES.
The swimming pool must be installed at a minimum distance of 6 meters from any electrical socket. To ensure maximum safety, it should
never be installed directly below high voltage or medium voltage overhead electricity wires. In some communities, it is illegal to do so.
UNDERGROUND CABLES.
Check for any buried electrical, telephone cables, or gas pipes a the site before you start digging to level the surface.
TREES.
Overhanging trees and their tenants (birds, insects…) are not the swimming pools best friends. The resin and falling leaves and twigs can
cause problems in maintaining your swimming pool’s water clean. If there is a filtering system, it will have to be used more often. Install the
swimming pool away from the trees.
GROUNDED SOCKETS.
In the case where the swimming pool has or uses a water filter or any other electrical device, and there is no grounded socket nearby, you
must have one installed by an authorized electrical technician.

receive all the information concerning to the installation of the pool in his/her house.
