Preparation of the ground
Your pool has been exclusively designed to
be placed on the ground.
The ground must be flat and horizontal.
The surface must always be prepared on
solid, level ground.
If the ground is slanted, always remove earth
from the higher ground rather than banking
up the lower ground.
Once the ground is level, you must remove stones and grass roots and compress the ground well. A thin layer of
very fine, sifted sand (1 to 1.5cm deep) should be laid in order to make the entire surface flat.
If you install your pool on a stone or concrete surface, make sure that the surface is level and that the concrete is
not course.
The prepared surface should be at least 50cm larger than the diameter of the pool.
In every case, your pool must be placed on an inert ground mat that will protect the liner.
The guarantee will only apply if the liner has been correctly protected.
Do not forget that your pool will be very heavy once it is filled with water. For example, a pool 4.50m in diameter
and 90cm high will weigh 14 tonnes.
Plan of the pool
Use two sticks tied together with a rope the length of the radius of the pool. Plant one stick in the centre and using
the other one, trace the circle on the ground with a line of sand, plaster or chalk.
D = diameter of the pool
R = radius of the pool
Once the ground has been prepared, lay the ground mat and trace the diameter of the pool. You can move on to
the following steps.

Placing the bottom joint sections (
the wall.
On the perimeter marking, form the circle as
follows, according to the model:
either by joining each rigid piece using the
junction pieces and by spreading the connection
equally in each joint section. Do not close the
circle.
or by laying out each supple piece along the
marking. Do not close the circle.
Remove the wall from the box and place it on a
plank inside the circle to facilitate unrolling it.
Push the joint sections into the wall and continue
until the wall is completely unrolled. It is important
that the wall is pushed down to the end of the
frame-piece runners.
If you have difficulty pushing the joint sections
into the wall, open the frame-piece runner
slightly with a screwdriver.
Cut the last joint section using a hacksaw or a
Stanley knife, so that the screw holes in the wall
coincide.
depending on model
crew the wall closed. The washers and the nuts must
be on the outside of the pool and the screw heads on
the inside.
Push the white flexible rod(s) through the side-wall,
and cut it (them) at the right length if necessary.
Note: tighten the nuts well. Otherwise,
they my cause the wall to tear.
To protect the liner, stick protective adhesive tape
throughout
the full height of the bolt fixtures on the inside of the
pool basin.
A mound of fine, sifted sand about 8cm high must be
added around the inside of the basin, This will prevent
the liner from sliding under the frame pieces.
