1 SAFETY AND FUN GO TOGETHER ! Read this before installing Your above-ground pool General information The pool is subject to wear and deterioration if not maintained properly and could lead to failure of the pool’s structure. Failure of the pool structure might release large quantities of water that could cause property damage, bodily harm or even death.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT For your protection and for the safety of others, we recommend that lifesaving equipment be on hand A light, strong and rigid pole, frequently referred to as a Shepherd's Crook, at least twelve feet long or a throwing rope of at least ¼ inch in diameter and as long as 1.5 times the maximum width or diameter of your pool. The rope should be firmly attached to a coast guard-approved buoy with an outside diameter of approximately 15 inches.
8– Adult supervision is always necessary. Never take your eyes off children or swimmers in the water or near the pool, not even for a minute. Designate an adult “pool watcher”. Make sure that you or your pool watcher are able to intervene in less then 10 seconds in order to save a life or avoid injury. 9– If a child is missing, always look in the pool first. 10– Be proactive to prevent death or disability. 11– The pool owners and “pool watchers” should learn CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).
19- The pool deck, if installed, should be kept clean and clear of objects in order to avoid tripping or slipping. The deck should have a non-slip surface. 20– Keep all toys, chairs, tables, filter, pool heater and any other object that can be used by anyone to gain access to the pool, at least four feet away from the pool. 21– Do not sit, dive, climb or stand on the top rails of the pool. 22– It is important that all users be able to see the bottom of the pool.
3 Level the edge of the circle, from the turf removal line up to 30 cm (12”) within the circle. You may use an optical or a laser level. Carefully pack the soil using a tamper tool or vibrating plate (See illustration 4.1 and 4.2), especially on those areas where a lot of soil was added. Remove any stone, piece of wood or other debris from within the circle. Flatten any protrusion and pack soil tightly.

5 Insert the tracks on each side of the bottom plates, leaving a ½’’ space betwen each, in the center of the plate (see Illustration 6.1). Illustration 6.1 Assemble all bottom tracks to the bottom plates to form a perfect circle with a diameter and a radius in accordance to the chart Illustration ATTENTION INSTALLERS: The radius must be measured from the center of the track cavity, where the wall will be installed, to the center of the pool.
Begin inserting the wall into the bottom wall tracks in the middle of a joiner plate. At first, the wall should be kept in place with one or two support bars (or extra persons). One person should uncoil the wall on a beam or a plank while a second person inserts it in the bottom wall tracks. Do not uncoil more than 3 m (10') of wall before you install a support bar to reinforce the structure.
7 Before making the cove of the pool, make sure the radius of the pool is the right size from the center of the pool You can now spread approximately 10 cm (4") of compacting sand all around the inside base of the wall in order to protect the liner from the cutting edges of the bottom wall tracks and the stone dust (if applicable) or install a prefabricated cove, if available. 30 cm 10cm (4”) SAND BASE FINISHING Level finishing sand one last time.
9 Before pulling the liner up against the wall, insert a vacuum cleaner hose down into the pump return hole to approximately 15 cm (6") from the ground. Maintain the hose in place with adhesive tape. Don't forget to block the skimmer hole with adhesive tape to prevent air from leaking in. Place the unfolded liner in the center of the pool area at right angles with the skimmer hole.
PUMP RETURN FITTING After you remove the vacuum cleaner, you may install the return fitting. Place the return fitting ring against the liner and adjust it so that it is perfectly aligned with the hole in the wall. When the ring is properly positioned and secured, cut the liner in the middle of the ring. Install the joiner plates on top of each upright then install metal screws at the top of the support posts, making sure the support posts are perpendicular to the ground.
11 12 Position the safety procedure panel on the outside of the pool. This panel must be installed on your pool at the most visible place from the yard.
13 Note: See the safety section. As described, all components of the filtration system should be placed to prevent a child to climb on top and gain access to the pool. Using a little bit of stone dust (or sand), level a 61 cm x 76 cm (24” x 30”) patio stone before installing the motor and filter. Position the motor on the stone and insert the two nozzles to connect the hoses. Then, install the filter tank. Adjust the lateral assembly properly in its channel.
Install necessary nozzles. Then, connect hoses collars. 1-The first hose goes from the top of the pump to the side of the filter head. 2– The second one goes from the motor to the skimmer (or to the bottom drain valve). 3– The third goes from the front to the filter head o the water return or from the front of the chlorinator to the water return. A back wash hose may be placed behind the filter head. If there is a chlorinator and/or heat pump, they must be assembled at the filter outlet.
