Dear Customer
Congratulations! You have purchased a pool of superior quality and durability. To achieve the best possible results, follow
the instructions carefully. Failure to follow the installation procedures may result in damage to your pool or property and
void your warranty. We recommend that you make a preliminary study of the instructions booklet to familiarize yourself
with the different parts of your pool. Make sure that you understand each step thoroughly before you begin assembling.
WARNING: Be sure you have read and understood the "Safety Information"
sheets before you begin your pool installation.
WARNING: For your safety, your pool is not designed for diving and/or jumping head first.

When selecting the site for your pool, take into account city
by-laws regarding fences and utilities laws pertaining to
electrical cables, as well as the landscaping which you are
planning once the pool is installed.
1) Drive a stake into the ground at points A and B respecting the
distance of the straight section between those two points (A-B).
2) Draw two half circles respecting the radius (R).
3) Join the two half circles with straight lines respecting the
width between these two lines (D).
4) Verify that the total length is consistent. (E)
5) Add 15cm (6") wide trenches on each side, respecting the
lenght (F), to leave room for the stays.
6) Remove all grass from the area which you have just outlined.

SITE LEVELLING
For an oval pool, the bottom must absolutely be levelled, using a
carpenter's level and a straight plank. Eliminate any protrusions.
Ensure that the surface is free of debris such as rocks, wood,
etc.
TRENCHES FOR BUTTRESS ASSEMBLIES
1) Dig trenches to a depth equal to the sum of the thickness of
the patio blocks (2" thick slabs recommended) and the
thickness of the butress assembly beam 8cm (3 1/4"). (Refer to
illustrations for trenches layout details).
2) Make sure trenches are smooth and leveled without
compacting them.
3) Place and level patio blocks into trenches. Make sure that the
top of the slabs is at a depth of 8cm (3 1/4"). Top of framework
must be level with pool area.

BOTTOM DRAIN ASSEMBLY (if applicable)
Dig a hole 30 cm (12") wide by approximately 25 cm (10") deep
in the center of the circumference.
From the center hole to the projected location of the pool motor,
dig a 15 cm (6") wide trench. Place the removed soil aside to
be used later to cover the hose.
Bottom Drain Assembly
Place teflon around the threaded plug. Screw in drain holes
using large pliers.
opening.Glue connector in the appropriate opening.
Take one of the two rubber rings and adjust it to the top of the
drain, aligning the holes carefully. Secure with strips of adhesive
tape to prevent sand from penetrating inside the holes once the
drain has been installed.
Secure one end of the long black or white hose inside the drain
spout. First apply glue on the drain spout and inside the drain
end, then secure with one or two collars.
Cut the hose so that it ends with the stone dust (or sand).
Measure the pool radius from the center of the drain, then add
15 cm (6").
Place the assembled bottom drain in the hole so that it is
approximately 1.3cm (1/2") higher than the surface soil. Bury
the hose, levelling the drain as much as possible. Compact the
soil, using your feet and a tampering tool as well.
Mix three (3) shovels of stone or sand dust with one half shovel
of pure cement, adding a small quantity of water, then pour the
cement around the drain until it reaches 1.3 cm (1/2") from the
top.
Please do not dive. Diving may result in permanent injury or death.
