Advices to chose the best location for your pool:
• Select a place where you´ll have to realize the least excavation to levelled the ground.
• Non easily inundated area in case of rain.
• Where there is not any underground conection (water, gas, electricity...)
• Do not install it underneath electric line.
• Protected from wind and without any trees because the pollen and the leaves make the pool dirt.
• Sunny area, where the most sun is duting the morning
• Close to a water and power supply and drainage system.
UNACCEPTABLE LOCATION: Sloping, uneven ground. Sandy, rocky or soggy ground.
There are two options to assemble this pool: A- Install the pool directly on the ground B- Prepare a concrete base of the dimensions
indicated in the table. WE RECOMMEND OPTION B
Your pool can be installed in these three ways: Fig. 2
Whatever type of installation you choose, you should excavate and prepare the land for levelling.
Attention: in the case that the land is sloping, you need to excavate it for levelling. Do not add soil to level it.
In the case of assembling your pool above ground, you can use either a bed of sand or a concrete slab. If you choose the bed of sand,
use fine and clean sand, otherwise you could stain the liner due to there being algae in the sand. In the case that the pool is semi
in-ground or completely in-ground, the installation should be using a concrete foundation slab. If a foundation concrete slab is used
this should be at least 17 centimetres thick. The pool is assembled after the concrete foundation slab has completely dried (3 weeks).
The filter group should be located below the level of the pool and ideally at floor level of the pool.

PREPARING THE LAND
Levelling:
When levelling the ground, always remove material from the top
of the slope rather than filling in the bottom: this will ensure
greater ground stability and firmness. Always remove all grass,
roots, stones, etc. Levelling is extremely important: devoting the
necessary time and effort to ensuring that your pool sits properly
on the ground will avoid problems later. How to level: thanks
to a large mason rule (aluminium or wood) and a level, level out
the ground forming rectangles (or squares) , locating this rule in
the selected and cleaned area. When all the areas are on level
and when the excess of ground is removed, you may fill in the
small areas which are left to level out (with clean ground or
sand) but always compacting and levelling again afterwards. It is
very important the installation area is well compressed and firm
in order the ground do not subside when the pool will be full of
water. Please ask a professional: builder, gardener.

Finishing:
On the cleaned and levelled ground, spred a light coat of sieved
sand (max 1cm) . Water and compact it (with a garden roller)
. Check that is well levelled. Do not use the sand to level the
ground. The finishing has to be perfect. To install the pool
properly, it has to be levelled. If it is not the case, the pressure
differences on the contour might deform the stakes, or even
make them split. Then, the water which would fall may damage
the environment, or even cause accident.
Check again all the area level before beginning the following
process: the assembling success depends on that phase.
