Pool Arrival And Inspection - Endless Pools Streamline Installation, Operations And User's Manual

Pool Arrival and Inspection

The Streamline Pool arrives in a kit that includes the pool
panels, sidewall reinforcing channels, and pool components. The
Streamline Pool kit weighs approximately 1600 lbs (725kg).
The hardware for the assembly of the pool panels is in the box
labeled "Panel Hardware Kit." The additional hardware for the
assembly of the pool components is in the box labeled "Streamline
Hardware Kit" located in the "Plumbing Components Kit."
Most shipping companies will lower the pool kit to the ground
with a hydraulic lift gate on their truck. Since every delivery is
slightly different, and depends on site conditions, it is important
to speak with our shipping department prior to the pool ship-
ment to answer any questions you may have.
Upon arrival, the pool panels, reinforcing channels, and pool
components box should be inspected for external damage. Should
there be visible damaged, you must complete a damage-claim re-
port provided by the truck driver. Please call the Endless Pools
shipping department immediately at 800-732-8660. The pool
components are not damaged by freezing conditions and may be
stored outside under a tarp for an extended period of time prior

to installation
Placement Considerations
It is important that the Streaml ine Pool is installed over a
smooth, level concrete slab that can support 260 pounds per
square foot (1300kg/m2). The floor must be relatively smooth
and level containing no voids or bumps. If the pool is to be placed
on an existing or new slab that is out of level, the panels must be
leveled and the gap between the panels and floor must be filled
using the provided leveling kit. If a new concrete slab is poured,
consult the local electrical code regarding bonding and ground-
ing. Many areas require a bonding wire to be attached to the
reinforcing bar that is embedded in the concrete.

Drainage should be provided at the pool. It is ideal to install a
floor drain in the area just outside the front pool panel, but not
directly under the panel or the pool itself. In installations where
this is not possible, the installation of a secondary containment
system to help divert water to a more desirable location is rec-
ommended.
It is extremely important to ensure that any water that may reach
the bottom flange of the pool panel, by splashing, run off, or ac-
cidental leakage, be drained away immediately. With the bottom
flange of the pool panel standing in water, corrosion may occur
over time. It is worth the time and effort to install a drainage
system rather than be unprepared in the event of a mishap.
Panel Assembly Overview
On a level concrete slab, assemble the six wall panels. The smooth
wall of each panel should face inward. The six wall panels will
form a pool enclosure with an inside width of 5' 0" (1.52m) and
an inside length of 11' 0" (3.35m). Each pool panel has a 3-1/2"
(8.89cm) bottom flange and a 6-1/2" (16.5cm) top flange.
On the side walls, the end flanges of the two adjoining panels
bolt directly together. A reinforcing brace (California Brace) and
gusset support will be installed at the panel seam on each side
wall. The California Braces are structural and must be installed.
Outside corner angles hold the four corners of the pool together.
The ten gussets are installed at every panel intersection (one on
each side wall at the panel seams and two in each of the four
corners). Do not install the gussets between the panels. The four
triangular corner angles are installed in each of the four corners.
Reinforcing channels fit over the top flanges of the two side walls
to withstand the hydrostatic load at the top of the steel enclosure.
Tension straps are installed at the bottom flange to withstand the
hydrostatic load at the bottom of the steel enclosure. Fig. 1.
