    Hydraulic Power Unit, as shown in Figure 1.1. Fig. 1.1 The Deck Mount Fastlane Pro fastens to the pool deck using a Deck Plate and Hanging Bracket. The two hydraulic lines then run back to the remotely located Hydraulic Power Unit. The hydraulic hoses can be run through a conduit or run aboveground, as shown in Figure 1.2.

    12 feet (3,7m) between the wall on which the Fastlane Pro is installed and the opposing wall in line with the Swim Unit. The Fastlane Pro has more than 9 square feet (.83m2) of water intake to eliminate any entrapment hazards.

  • Page 10: Wall Mount Bracket Installation

    Section 4 WALL MOUNT BRACKET INSTALLATION The following sections provide detailed instructions for installing the Wall Mount Fastlane Pro Mounting bracket. The instructions vary depending on the type of pool (gunite, steel panel/vinyl liner, gunite/vinyl liner, fiberglass) the unit is being installed in. Refer to the appropriate section.
  • Page 11 Figures 4.2. and 4.5. The area below the bracket should be no more than 5 degrees less than the vertical down to at least 39" (99cm) below the waterline. The Fastlane Pro is 21"...
  • Page 12 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® The location of the Hydraulic Power Unit should be determined at this point in the installation. Unroll lengths of 1-1/2" (38mm) flexible PVC pipe from the back of the wall mount bracket to the Power Unit. Any bends in the flexible pipe MUST be gradual sweeps and not sharp to allow the hydraulic hoses to easily be fed through each conduit.
  • Page 13 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® The threaded rods MUST be tied into the pools bonding grid. Secure a bonding clamp to each threaded rod. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to each bonding clamp. These wires MUST be attached to a bonding connection that’s incorporated into the pool's bonding grid.

    (1) Clear Silicone Position the PVC template where the Fastlane Pro will attach to the pool wall and align the bottom of the template with the expected water level in the pool (which will typically be located at the centerline of the skimmer) as shown in Figure 4.6.
  • Page 15 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® Install the star thru-wall fittings with the holes for the cover at 12, 3, 6, and 9 (clock positions) as shown in Figure 4.7 Fig. 4.7 Thread the 3/8" (9,5mm) jam nut onto the threaded rod. Thread the hex coupling onto the threaded rod so that half of the hex coupling is threaded onto the rod and the other half that’s facing the pool is protruding off the threaded rod.
  • Page 16 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® On the inside of the pool, thread the sacrificial 3/8" (9,5mm) steel (with rubber washer) and bolt into the hex coupling through the hole that was previously drilled in the steel wall. Tighten the bolt to secure the assembly (Fig.
  • Page 17 Prior to pouring concrete, it is critical that the opening of each thru-wall and the sacrificial bolt be covered. No concrete can be embedded in these areas. Pour the concrete collar around the top flange of the pool encasing the threaded rods and conduit in place. This encasement will help secure the Fastlane Pro (Fig. 4.12).
  • Page 18 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® After the concrete has cured remove the sacrificial 3/8” (9,5mm) washers and bolts and install the pool liner. Before beginning the liner installation, be sure to note the orientation of the star thru-wall holes at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 (clock positions) as they will be hidden once the liner is installed.

  • Page 21 Once encased in concrete, these rods will serve as a suitable hanger. The threaded rods must penetrate 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" (31,8mm x 38mm) into the finished pool and will be used to hang the Fastlane Pro (Fig 4.18). Fig. 4.18 The location of the Hydraulic Power Unit should be determined at this point in the installation.

  • Page 23 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® After the liner is installed, add water to the pool to weigh the liner down pulling it tight. When the liner is tight, cut the holes for each thru-wall fitting and threaded rod hole using a sharp utility knife. Cut the holes as small as possible for the threaded rods (Fig.

    Remove the hardware from the PVC bracket. In this application the bracket will serve primarily as a tem- plate. Position the bracket on the pool wall where the Fastlane Pro will be placed. Align the etched mark on the bracket with the expected waterline, which is typically halfway up the skimmer opening. The bracket must be level on the pool wall.
  • Page 25 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® Cut the center portion out of the bracket using the etched marks in the brackets as a guide. The two end portions will be used as washers on the backside of the pool wall (Fig. 4.25). Fig.
  • Page 26 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® The backside of the thru-wall holes may need to be sanded flat so that a proper seal can be made. Place one of the rubber gaskets onto each thru-wall fitting. The second rubber gasket will not be used in this applica- tion.
  • Page 27 No concrete can be embedded in these areas. When all of the connections on the outside of the pool are complete, a concrete collar should be poured around the threaded rods and conduit. This encasement will help secure the Fastlane Pro (Fig. 4.30) Fig. 4.30...

  • Page 28: Junction Box And 1/2" Run Hoses

    It is at the junction box where these hose connections occur. The hydraulic sub hoses from the Fastlane Pro to the junction box are 3/8" (9,5mm) and the run hoses from the junction box to the Power Unit are 1/2" (13mm). The junction box MUST be above the pool's water level to avoid drainage of overfull pool water through the PVC conduit.

    THIS STEP IS CRITICAL. If the Fastlane Pro is being installed into a pool using a salt-chlorine generator, a sacrificial zinc anode MUST be installed to combat the corrosive nature of the salt. Secure anode to one of the grab bar screws on the right side of the unit.
