Selection of the installation site
The installation site should be selected with regard to the following:
•
TROPIC JUNIOR should be visible from the living areas in the home;
•
If TROPIC JUNIOR is installed on natural ground, make sure that the site is not infested by termites
or other wood eating insects;
•
To avoid premature degradation of the bottom of the wooden structure, rain water should not be
able to accumulate and stagnate around Tropic Junior (if water is likely to stagnate around the
pool, create a drainage system);
•
To prevent falls, the area around the pool should not become slippery when wet (bad weather,
splashing);
•
The ground underneath TROPIC JUNIOR must be:
•
Flat, stable, and should remain so over time (no subsidence or deformation);
•
Perfectly horizontal, so that water pressure is not higher in some areas of the structure than
others
If Tropic Junior is installed on a balcony, a raised terrace, or some other support that does not bear down
on the ground through the whole of its surface area, check that the structure will bear the total weight of
Tropic Junior, water and the users.
4.5
Preparation of the site if TROPIC JUNIOR is to be installed on
natural ground
•
Trace the outline of Tropic Junior on the ground;
•
Level and smooth the surface, remove any protruding objects (stones, roots, stumps, etc.);
•
Compensate for any soil removed during the previous step by adding sand, or gravel topped with
a layer of compacted, levelled sand 5 mm thick.
