Certikin Dolphin Sport User manual

Pool build procedure for 6m x 4m, 4m x 4m and Dolphin Sport Certikin Wooden Pools
Superior wooden pools, British built to the highest quality

IMPORTANT
Please read before commencing the build process of your wooden pool
The pool timbers have all been pressure treated and depending on the weather and temperature
may remain swollen and damp for some time.
Please allow a reasonable period for the timbers to dry back to their pre-treated size.
As a result, DO NOT fix the upright posts to the steel base shoes (only fix at the top)
as it is important that the pool timbers are allowed to dry and settle into the shoes.

Starting the build process
STEP 1
Lay out the eight 200mm x 50mm base timbers on the area
where the pool is to be situated.
STEP 2
Fit the base corners using the 12mm nuts and washers.
STEP 3
Use G clamps as shown to aid fitting.
STEP 4
Screw the 6mm coach screws into the outside of the steel
corner plates. Cover the screw head with the plastic caps.
Drill 4mm pilot holes if needed.
STEP 5
Fit the flat steel tie-bars with the 80mm x 10mm bolts
supplied by passing them through the side post shoe as
shown. Make sure the shoes are spaced equally apart.
STEP 6
Line up the shoe and tie bar. Fit the coach bolt from
underneath and secure with a nut and washer.

Please note:
According to the time of the year and weather conditions,
the timber can expand and become tight when fitting the
base corner brackets. The timber may need to be planed
slightly to adjust the fit. This will not affect the integrity
of your pool structure.

The build process continued
STEP 7
Position the remaining shoes at the centre of the
short base timbers as shown. Do not fix at this stage.
STEP 8
The skimmer panel has two steel shoes. Use the skimmer
support timber to help centre and position the steel shoes.
Do not fix at this stage.
This is for 4x4 and 6x4 pools only
STEP 9
Lay the first row of pool wall timbers
STEP 10
Line up the inside edge of base timber with the first row of
pool wall timbers.
STEP 11
Ensure that the pool wall timbers sit flat onto the base timbers.
STEP 12
Continue assembling the wall timbers, alternately aligning the
corner joints. Make sure the tongues and grooves are in line
before tapping down.

This is the side where the filtration pack will be positioned.

Make sure that the skimmer panel timbers
are assembled in the correct order.

Please note:
Dolphin pools do not have upright posts
and steel shoes in the corners

The build process continued
STEP 13
Tap the timbers down gently using a scrap piece of wood. Line
up the tongues and the grooves before tapping.
STEP 14
When preparing the pool please remember to place the
timbers so that the return inlets are on row 7 and the low
suction point is on row 2.
STEP 15
Rest the skimmer on this aperture before fitting the top timber.
STEP 16 (showing end skimmer)
Where the skimmer is located on a corner wall the low
suction is sited at 2.5 log and the returns are positioned at 6.5
log. The skimmer is 9.5 - 10.5 logs. See skimmer diagrams at
the beginning of this document.
STEP 17
Insert row 11 with the groove on the underside and the flat on
the top.
STEP 18
Fit the skimmer to the pool wall with the 6 x No10 x 1” screws
provided.

Attach the return inlet pipe and valve section to the threaded
unions protruding through the pool wall.
STEP 22
The skimmer, return inlet and low suction in position. Viewed
from the outside.
STEP 23
Screw the half timbers to the top of the pool wall with the
100mm stainless steel screws.
Please note:
Make sure ‘O’ rings are seated correctly inside the unions.
STEP 20
Fit the return inlet and the lower suction fittings.

STEP 24
Repeat on other 3 sides with half timber tops.
The build process continued
STEP 25
Place the upright posts in the steel shoes with the holes facing
outwards. Do not fix the uprights in the shoes.
STEP 26
Align the upright posts with the wall holes.
DO NOT fix the upright posts to the steel base shoes (only fix
at the top) as it is important that the pool timbers are allowed
to dry and settle into the shoes.
STEP 27
Loosely attach the 96mm x 96mm timbers to the long bolts
protruding through the posts. Do not tighten fully at this stage.
STEP 28
Use a clamp to hold the timbers in position when drilling and
fixing.
STEP 29
Drill holes through the timber and pool wall and insert a
230mm x 12mm bolt through from the inside as shown.
Please note:
It is very important to level each corner before drilling.
