Congratulations! You have purchased a pool of superior quality and
durability. To achieve the best possible results, follow the instruc-
tions carefully. Failure to follow the installation procedures may
result in damage to your pool or property and void your warranty.
We recommend that you make a preliminary study of the instruction
booklet to familiarize yourself with the different parts of your pool.
Make sure that you understand each step thoroughly before you
begin assembling. We recommend having your pool installed by a
professional. We wish you a most pleasant and refreshing summer.
The homeowner must supervise the installation of the pool in order
to make sure that proper installation methods are followed.
The pool is subject to wear and deterioration if not maintained pro-
perly and could lead to failure of the pool’s structure. Failure of the
pool structure might release large quantities of water that will cause
property damage, bodily harm or even death.
Before installing your pool, you should check local regulations such
as building codes, zoning requirements and electrical codes.
Refrain from finishing up your pool with stones, rocks, gravel,
etc., to avoid chipping of the paint and damaging the pool wall.
Most decorative rocks are very acidic and they can damage
and/or corrode your pool wall beyond repair.
We are not responsible for the installation of the pool. We are not
affiliated with any pool installer and assume no responsibility or
liability linked to a faulty installation of the pool.
Warning : Do not modify any components of the pool without the
written authorization of the manufacturer. Doing so will void the
warranty.
If you need any parts, you can order these by calling
1-888-777-0447 or at www.corneliuspools.com
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING : All pool components, such as the filtration system, pump and heater should not be
positioned in such a way that someone could use them to gain access to the pool. Be sure that
filter, pump, all toys, chairs, tables, buildings or similar objects are at least at a minimum of 4’
(1,22 m) away from the pool. Positioning such objects too close to the pool may allow access
to the water while unattended and may cause serious injury or death.

When selecting a site for your pool, take into account your local
regulations regarding fences and utility laws pertaining to elec-
trical cables, as well as the landscaping which you are planning
once the pool is installed.
Mark the approximate location of the 4 corners of the pool to con-
firm pool orientation and available space in your yard. (Refer to
Chart 1.1)
Drive a stake into the ground for points A and B using the distance
of the straight section according to your pool size referenced in
Chart 1.1. It is important that your A and B measurements are exact
to ensure proper installation and avoid problems further on.
Draw two half circles from the A and B stakes using the radius (R)
according to Chart 1.1
Join the two half circles with two straight lines parallel to line (AB)
at the exact distance (R) from line (AB), refer to chart 1.1
Measure and verify that your total length (E) matches Chart 1.1.
Remove all sod from the area plus an addtionnal 6" (15 cm) around
the pool outline. (See illustration 1.1)

DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ACCUMULATE AROUND POOL. Make
sure to provide good drainage away from the pool.
SITE LEVELLING
The entire area must be perfectly levelled, using a proper levelling
tool. Eliminate any protrusions. Ensure that the surface is free of
debris such as rocks, wood, nutgrass, weeds and other debris.
Start by finding the center points (C) of both side sections using
points A&B. The center point of each side section should be at equal
distance from points A&B. Once both center points(C) are located,
start locating trenches from these points. (Refer to illustration 2.1)
TRENCHES FOR BUTTRESS ASSEMBLIES
Before diging you must refer to the proper chart and illustration
(See next pages)
Dig trenches to a depth equal to the thickness of the patio blocks
(a minimum thickness of a 1 3/4" is recommended) and the but-
tress assembly beam 3 1/4" (8 cm).
(Refer to illustrations 2.2)
Make sure trenches are smooth and levelled without compacting
them.
Refer to illustration 2.3 for trench layout detail, all grey shaded
areas.
Place and level patio blocks into trenches. Make sure that the top
of patio block is 3 1/4" (8 cm) deep in order to accomodate for the
buttress assembly thickness. (Refer to illustration 2.4) Top of but-
tress assembly must be level with the soil.
