Installation Instruction Booklet Information Endless Pools, Inc. provides for every aspect of an Endless Pool ® project. This manual, “Installation Instructions” assists in the installation process. This manual should be used in conjunction with other available resources including the Installation DVD or Video which begins with a 30 minute overview followed by step-by-step instructions of an entire installation.
Should there be visible damage, you must complete a damage-claim report 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 prior to installation.

When the deeper pool option has not been selected and it is desired not to drill into the concrete floor, Tension Straps may be used. See Figure 5.1. These are ordered from Endless Pools, Fig 5.3: Connecting pool bottom outside flange and tension strap.
The bottom flange of each panel has pre-drilled holes to accept the 3/8" x 3" anchor bolts provided. See Figures 6.1 and 6.2. An absolute minimum of 10 anchor bolts are required as described in the Installation Video. See figure 6.3. When pos- sible more anchor bolts should be used with an emphasis on the Fig 5.4:Tightening the tension strap bolts.
When a rigid coping such as tile is planned this deflection is undesirable. For in-ground or partially in-ground Endless Pools simply brace or shim laterally back to the walls of the pit before filling. Be sure not to brace back to a load-bear- ing wall unable to resist this lateral load.
of the channels to keep the whole system level. See Figure 8.3. At the 4 corners, the short mitered pieces of liner hanger rest on 4 triangular inside corner supports. Once the entire system is laid out satisfactorily secure it down to the top flange through the pre-drilled holes in the liner hanger.
These instructions include information from the man- ufacturer when relevant, and a Tech Bulletin from Endless Pools, Inc. Each of the options is also discussed more fully in the Planning Guide which was used by the customer during dis- cussions with the Endless Pools, Inc.
Each coping kit contains pre-fabricated corners and straight aluminum pieces cut to match your pool size. The 8" wide pro- file of the coping makes it ideally suited for pools which are freestanding or partially recessed. The coping is secured to the Fig 13.1: Synthetic coping system.
Using the PVC cleaner and PVC cement you received in your plumbing kit, glue the second piece of pipe into the open end of the coupling. For pools larger than 8' x 16' a larger solar blanket is available by request and shipped via UPS.

Endless Pools, Inc. can not take responsibility for the structural integrity of platforms constructed by others. Also note that deep- er pools hold more water and exert a greater load on the floor upon which they rest. Endless Pools, either deeper or flat bot- tomed, should not be built on upper stories without a structural engineer involved who is willing to stamp the drawings.

Be careful not to catch the liner. Carefully slide the assembly all the way to the front of the pool and make sure it is centered left to right.
