    They can be removed by wiping the surface. Remember that class IV treated wood is protected against attack by fungi that could destroy the physical and mechanical properties of the wood. For more detail, see the MyPool guarantees covering the species and the treatment. HOTLINE 4/44 2020/09- Version: L Code : 97112223 BWT myPOOL TROPIC WIOODEN POOLS...

  • Page 5: Colour Variations

    Wood is a living material, variations in temperature and humidity can cause it to expand or contract so take care to follow the storage and assembly instructions concerning the wooden structure. Similarly, prolonged exposure to UV light can cause wood to grey. These are natural phenomena that in no way effect the service life of the products. Do not apply any product to the wood (for example: lazure, micro-porous products, etc.). HOTLINE 5/44 2020/09- Version: L Code : 97112223 BWT myPOOL TROPIC WOODEN POOLS...

  • Page 6: Storage And Safety

    We recommend that you secure access to the pool using one of the protective measures set out in the pool safety standards NF P 90-306, 307, 308 & 309 that is: Barriers - Alarms - Safety covers - Shelters. • Children should only use the pool under the supervision of an adult. • Remember to remove the exterior wooden ladder while the pool is not in use to prevent unsupervised access to the pool. • This pool is intended for private use only. • Do not install the pool beneath electrical wires.

    Lastly, avoid preparing the ground and assembling the pool while a strong wind is blowing. How should the pool be oriented? Ideally, the pool should be oriented so that the skimmers are facing into the prevailing wind. This will determine the final orientation of your pool and the manner in which it will lie in your garden, notably in the case of elongated pools.

    The slat that will hold the return fitting should be positioned over 4 (type B) slats + 1 type A slat in the case of a skimmer and an autonomous filtration unit. The return fitting slat should be located just under the machined (type D) slat which should be in the last row of slats at this point in the assembly.

  • Page 11: Mounting The Liner Locking Track

    Before mounting the liner locking track, pre-drill using a Ø 3mm drill bit. Avoid over tightening, this could cause the screws to break through the track. Each side of the pool is fitted with one track 1.18 m long and another track trimmed to fit, see the table below. Trim 8 tracks according to the table below. Before making the cuts, check that the total length of the track is equal to the length of the wall less 10 cm. Use a mitre box to ensure that the cuts are clean and straight. Deburr the cuts using the fine grain file. To hold the track in position, drive in a screw 2 cm from each end. Next finish attaching the track by driving in screws at 20 cm intervals.

Do not strike the wood directly, use the protective brace (provided). • During assembly, check regularly that the walls are level and the 4 diagonals are equal in length. • To avoid the risk or injury or damage to the liner, take care to eliminate any splinters during and after assembly. • Please refer to the various illustrations provided in this document. • If you intend to fit your pool with a counter swim treadmill, you will need to incorporate the 2 slats specially prepared to mount this option.

    4 diagonals are equal in length.. Fix any imperfections before continuing. The liner locking track should be flush with the top of the wooden structure. Before mounting the liner locking track, pre-drill using a Ø 3mm drill bit. Avoid over tightening, this could cause the screws to break through the track. Each side of the pool is fitted with one track 1.18 m long and another track trimmed to fit, see the table below. Trim 8 tracks according to the table below.

Because of the pressure exerted by the water, even the smallest bump will be visible underneath the liner. After clearing the ground, spread a layer of sand mixed with cement (1 part cement to 7 parts sand) over the floor of the pool and compact it. This layer should be no more than 1 cm deep. (The sand and cement are not supplied). Unfold the underlay in the pool taking care to line it up correctly with the corners. Smooth out any wrinkles.

    Fix it in position using countersunk self-tapping 3x25 screws. Fit a self-adhesive gasket to each throughwall flange. Screw carefully by hand to avoid damaging the wood. FITTING & CUTTING OUT THE LINER IMPORTANT! The ideal temperature for laying liner is between 18° and 25°C. Outside this range, the liner will be either two rigid or too pliant and will be difficult to fit. On very hot days, lay the liner early in the morning. During cold weather (less than 18°C), store the liner somewhere warm for as long as possible to increase it’s suppleness and do not take it out until the last minute.

  • Page 22: Assembling And Commissioning The Filter Group

    We strongly recommend that you install the filter below the water level. If the filter is installed above the water line, there is a risk of deformation due to depressurisation. The maximum acceptable height is level with the coping. In the event that the filter is installed above the water line, a check vent must be mounted on the return line and an inspection check valve must be mounted on the suction line (these items are available from any pool specialist).

  • Page 27: Pipe Connections

    Connect the rigid descending pipes to the filtration group as shown above. The roll of tubing provided in the Filtration kit is sized for a standard installation, that is to say, with the filter group located 3.5 m from the pool (minimum distance between the pump and the pool according to the French electrical safety standard C15-100 if the filtration group is not installed in a locked plant room). Tip: You may use silicon grease or soapy water to help fit the pipes together. FITTING THE COPING Note the distribution of the various modules constituting the coping on the drawing. Arrange them on the coping support brackets. Make sure that the elements are correctly and evenly positioned around the entire periphery of the pool. Adjust them if necessary and make sure that they remain in position until screwed in. HOTLINE 27/44 2020/09- Version: L Code : 97112223 BWT myPOOL TROPIC WOODEN POOLS...

    +640, +510 models only 6 people allowed in the pool at one time. Ladders should only be used to enter and exit the pool. Any other use is prohibited and could be dangerous. The wooden access ladder should be taken away and stored systematically after the last person leaves the pool. This is to prevent the risk of drowning. We have designed a fast efficient locking system, use it!! HOTLINE 33/44 2020/09- Version: L Code : 97112223 BWT myPOOL TROPIC WOODEN POOLS...

  • Page 34: Water Treatment

    We recommend that you take great care in this matter and that you call on the services of qualified specialists. The pool can be fitted with a bubble cover that is spread over the pool while it is not in use. The action of sunlight on the cover heats the water below and the cover helps maintain the water temperature at night. Upon removing the cover from the pool, turn it over to allow it to dry, then roll it up and store it out of the way. Never fold the bubble cover, this could cause it to tear. Wipe it down from time to time with a damp cloth. This cover should under no circumstances be considered a safety device. A safety winter cover (that complies with the French safety standard NF P90-308) is available as an option to protect the pool. This high quality product is extremely hard-wearing and attractively finished. For storage and upkeep, follow the same instructions as for the bubble cover.
