GROUND POOLS, +640 MODEL ONLY
CAUTION: This type of configuration must be protected by one of the four safety systems that comply with French
safety standards concerning safety of in-ground pools; safety barrire, alarm, safety cover or a shelter.
The decree no. 2003-1389 dated 31/12/2003 renders it mandatory for clients of pools installed after the 1st of
January 2004 to have the pool fitted with a system to prevent drowning before it is filled with water. Said system must
comply with either the French safety standards, or with those standards, technical specifications or manufacturing
procedures set out in the regulations of a member state of the European Community or another state party to the
Agreement on the European Economic Area, providing for an equivalent level of safety.
These provisions apply to open air pools that are partially or fully in-ground.
Below, we suggest implementation configurations that show basic recommendations for non-humid ground. You
should adapt these to your installation, notably, in humid areas (stagnant water, water source, zone subject to flooding,
etc.) a sump drain pump may be required for efficient drainage.
In any case, the drainage system must be adequate to prevent the stagnation of water that could cause the wood
to rot. We recommend that you follow the installation instructions to the letter; failure to abide by these instructions will
render the usual guarantees null and void.
Should you have any questions, and to ensure a quality installation, do not hesitate to contact a specialist.

For selection of the site, refer to the instructions at the
beginning of this document.
Once the excavation is at the required depth, make
sure that the surface is perfectly flat and level. Next, dig
a trench to allow drainage under the walls of the pool.
Trace the shape of the trench, to assist this process you may
temporarily assemble the first row of slats (illustrations page
88 and 89, depending on the model). It should be wide
enough to extend beyond each side of the wall once it is
The cradle trenches are dug as described previously
built.

filtration system in a box adjoined to the pool, remember to
dig a trench to run the power cable. Similarly, if the filtration
system is to be installed at a distance from the pool, dig a
trench to accommodate passage of the suction and return
lines.
Max. depth of the excavation:
pool height 115cm = 110cm
pool height 120cm = 116cm
pool height 133cm = 129cm
After the trench under the pool wall is dug, fill it to a
depth of approximately 10cm using small sized gravel.
Make sure that the gravel is well compacted to avoid
future subsidence that will impact the pool structure.
Finish filling the trench with compacted sand, the filled
trench should be level with the ground.
CAUTION! We strongly recommend that you install the
filter below the water line. If the filter is installed above
the water line, there is a risk of deformation due to
depressurisation. At most, the filter should be installed
level with the coping. In the event that the filter is
installed above the water line, mount a check vent on the
return line and an easily accessible check valve on the
suction line.
If you intend to install the
