    Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) OR RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) is required for this product. The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD) is NOT provided with this product. One must be sourced locally and in- stalled into the panel box by a licensed electrician when making the electrical connections to the spa equipment.

  • Page 4: To Avoid Injury

    Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING Prolonged immersion in high temperature water can cause hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body is several degrees higher than the normal 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1.
  • Page 5 The Fastlane Pro can be mounted one of two ways: The Wall Mount Fastlane Pro fastens to the wall of the pool using the bracket provided. Two 1 1/2" (38mm) PVC pipes which serve as conduits for the hydraulic hoses run under the pool deck to a remotely located, 5-horsepower, hydraulic Power Unit, as shown in Figure 1.1.
  • Page 6 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.

    Note: Please read instructions fully prior to installing the wall mount bracket. 4.A. Gunite Pool If the pool being constructed is gunite, please follow the instructions below. The Wall Mount Fastlane Pro Mounting Kit for Gunite pools includes the following: (refer to Fig 4.1) (1) PVC Wall Bracket (2) Bonding Clamp (2) 3/8"...
  • Page 8 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 9 24ft 6in (7,5m). This will allow the hydraulic hoses attached to the Fastlane Pro to terminate just inside the junction box. See section 5 for additional information. The threaded rods must be tied into the pools bonding grid. Secure a bonding clamp to each threaded rod.
  • Page 10 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® Fig. 4.4 Prior to shooting gunite, it is critical that the opening of each thru-wall and the threaded rods that extend into the finished pool be covered. No gunite can be embedded in these areas. After verifying the bracket is positioned, bonding connections are secure, and thru-wall openings/threaded rods are covered, gunite can be shot (Fig 4.5).
  • Page 11 (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 12 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 13 In this case, the flex pipe between the wall mount bracket and the junction box must be 24ft 6in (7,5m). This will allow the hydraulic hose attached to the Fastlane Pro to terminate just inside the junction box. Refer to section 5 for additional information.
  • Page 14 No concrete can be embedded in these areas. Pour the concrete collar around the top flange of the pool en- casing the threaded rods and conduit in place. This encasement will help secure the Fastlane Pro (Fig 4.12). Fig. 4.12...
  • Page 15 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 16 4.C. Gunite Pool with a Vinyl Liner If the pool being constructed is a gunite pool with a vinyl liner, please follow the instructions below. The Wall Mount Fastlane Pro Mounting Kit for steel/polymer/gunite pools with a vinyl liner includes the following: (1) PVC Wall Bracket (2) Bonding Clamp (2) 3/8”...
  • Page 17 Fastlane Pro Swim Unit Installation ® 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 18 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 Apply Teflon thread sealant to the threads of the 1/1/2"...
  • Page 19 24ft 6in (7,5m). This will allow the hydraulic hose attached to the Fastlane Pro to terminate just inside the junction box. Refer to section 5 for additional information. The threaded rods must be tied into the pools bonding grid. Secure a bonding clamp to each threaded rod.
  • Page 20 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 4.22).
  • Page 21 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 22 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 23 In this case, the flex pipe between the wall mount bracket and the junction box must be 24ft 6in (7,5m). This will allow the hydraulic hoses attached to the Fastlane Pro to terminate just inside the junction box. See section 5 for additional information.
  • Page 24 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 25 It is at the junction box where a step up to 1/2" run hose occurs. The hydraulic hose from the Fastlane Pro Swim Unit to the junction box is 3/8" (9,5mm) and the run hose from the junction box to the Power Unit is 1/2".
  • Page 26 The packaging can be collapsed and used as a protective surface upon which to assemble the Fastlane Pro. The foam packing material can be used to wedge under the base to prevent it from tipping over. When assembling the Fastlane Pro, a low torque setting should be used on the drill to prevent the holes in the acrylic from stripping.

  • Page 31 Fig. 6.11 6.14 Once the Fastlane Pro is installed in the pool, place the housing lid onto the housing and use the pro- vided screws to attach. There will be three screws per side, for a total of six (Fig 6.12).
  • Page 32 Fig. 7.1 Using two people, carefully lower the Fastlane Pro into the pool. Align the holes at the top of the protective hat sections with the threaded mounting rods and rest the Fastlane Pro into place. The Fastlane Pro will hang from the mounting rods.
