ASSEMBLY OF TOP RAIL
(QUALITY Q2):
The quality/finish/design of top rails and bottom
rails is identical for Basic pool. For a round pool,
for example, the delivery includes 2 complete sets,
of which you use one as bottom rails and one as
top rail. They are assembled after the liner has
been installed without wrinkles. The individual top
rail segments are connected with the connecting
sleeves and at the end, just like the bottom rails
before, the last section is cut to the correct length
of the steel wall. Ensure that the individual top rail
segments are fitted firmly and correctly together so
no gaps between the segments are visible later on.
Since the Q2 top rail is manufactured with a very
narrow grip to ensure a firm fit on the steel wall, we
recommend to carefully tap it together with a rubber
mallet.
ASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTS:
All installation parts (skimmers, inlet nozzles,
headlights, etc.) may only be installed after the
water level has risen to just below the steel wall
cut-out. Otherwise there may be tears in the liner or
leakage may occur if the water level is raised later
on and the liner would be lowered again as a result.
CONCRETE BACKFILL
In case of inground pools, a lean concrete backfill
is mandatory (20 cm/for extra pressure by soil = 30
cm). To this end, use a gravel-cement mixture (grain
size 0 to 8) in a ratio of 8:1 earth-moist.
The concrete backfill must run along the entire
installation area of the pool, otherwise there is a
danger that the ground soil will press the pool wall
in when replacing the water. First place/glue a
waterproof Styrodur (polystyrene) panel (about 2 cm
thick) from the outside in front of the steel wall (for
thermal insulation and protection of the steel wall),
and then fill in lean concrete in layers in the space
between the basin and the soil. The water level in
the pool should always be about 30 cm higher than
the backfill. Under no circumstances compact the
lean concrete or use a concrete pump. Fill layers of
approx. 30 cm with lean concrete, then wait for at
least 1 day (hardening) before filling the next layer.
