Ite requIrementS
Your SWIMCROSS Exercise System must be installed on a smooth
and level surface that can support 190 lbs per square foot.
If a new slab is poured, consult your local electrical codes regarding
grounding and bonding. Local code may require a bonding wire to be
attached to the reinforcing bar or wire mesh that is embedded in the
concrete. If new concrete is being poured, this is the ideal time to install
the conduit for the incoming electrical supply.
Even if a new pad has been poured, it is essential that the system site
is level and planar. There is a simple way to ensure that this is the
case. First, draw a chalk outline of the footprint of your SWIMCROSS
Exercise System. Place a six-foot level along and around the footprint
of the system. Verify that there are no gaps between the level and floor.
Next pour water inside of the chalk footprint. Verify that the water does
not puddle inside the footprint.
Should there a be a gap or should the water puddle inside the footprint,
call your ENDLESS POOLS dealer prior to continuing to discuss the
best way to resolve this situation.

INDOOR CONSIDERATIONS

1. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
2. Ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers should be provided to handle
the humidity developed by your SWIMCROSS Exercise System.
Walls, ceiling and wood trim should be water resistant, also.
3. Chemicals will vaporize from the water and may cause an odor
and possibly corrosion to certain home hardware. Never store
chemicals inside the SWIMCROSS Exercise System cabinet.
During the normal use of the SWIMCROSS Exercise System,
4.
water will escape the vessel. Never place on or over any materials,
which may be damaged by this water or the chemicals within the
water. Keep damageable materials far enough away to avoid water
damage, even if the SWIMCROSS Exercise System should lose
all its water.
5. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of rapid drainage. If
placement of the SWIMCROSS Exercise System is permanent,
you may wish to provide floor drains to accommodate draining, etc.
Always leave room all around the SWIMCROSS Exercise System
for easy access in case repairs are necessary.
6. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of removal.
7. Do not set SWIMCROSS Exercise System on finished floor
without a waterproof barrier protection underneath.
8. The SWIMCROSS Exercise System should have access to a
power source capable of supplying 230 volts AC power. It must
be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). No other appliances should be on the same
circuit.
9. The SWIMCROSS Exercise System should be close to a source
of water.
10. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able
to support the weight of the SWIMCROSS Exercise System
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The
SWIMCROSS Exercise System may weigh up to 18,185 lbs
(8,265 kg) when it is filled with water.
11. Do not use the SWIMCROSS Exercise System above a finished
living area due to the risk of water damage.
12. The SWIMCROSS Exercise System is not designed for in-floor
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is
built flush with the bar top, provided you leave access for service.
13. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or
privacy concerns that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using
the SWIMCROSS Exercise System.

OUTDOOR CONSIDERATIONS

1. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
2. Consider local codes pertaining to fencing, enclosures, walls,
electrical and plumbing. You will need to ensure that your
SWIMCROSS Exercise System is an adequate distance
from power lines, both above ground and underground. Your
SWIMCROSS Exercise System will also need to be child proofed.
3. View from house for aesthetics and supervisory needs.
4. Distance from house for wintertime soaking.
5. Nighttime lighting.
6. Consider sunlight exposure, views, access, property lines, lighting,
wind direction, shielding, septic tanks, plants, and trees when
determining your location. Chemicals in the SWIMCROSS
Exercise System water may splash damaging nearby plant life.
7. If your SWIMCROSS Exercise System is to be located on a
second story, be positive support is adequate. Call your builder and
a structural engineer.
8. Area for placement of support equipment where adequate space
will be needed to gain access to components for maintenance and
general servicing.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or
privacy concerns that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using
the SWIMCROSS Exercise System.
10. Provide adequate drainage away from the equipment and
adequate elevation to allow draining by siphon, if should be
required.
11. Location of electrical supply. 230-volt systems require hard wire
installed from the main electrical source, to the sub panel, then to
the SWIMCROSS Exercise System terminal block. All equipment
must be ground fault circuit protected (NOT SUPPLIED) . All
electrical wiring must comply with the national electric code.
12. Locations at least 5 ft (1.52 m) from all metal surfaces. A
SWIMCROSS Exercise System may be installed within 5 feet
of metals surfaces providing each metal surface is permanently
connected by a no. 8 awg (8.4 mm2) copper conductor attached to
the bonding wire connector on the heater provided for this purpose.
All installations must comply with article 680 of the U.S. national
electric code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1984.
13. Place the SWIMCROSS Exercise System on a firm, level surface
that will not shift.
