POOL POSITIONING
To ensure ideal operation of the Fastlane Pool, consider the following steps when selecting
a location for the pool.
Look for an area that receives maximum sunlight for increased heat and extended
use.
Find a location with minimal wind exposure to minimize heat loss.
Be aware of the amount of trees and shrubbery around the pool to limit the amount
of debris that may accumulate in the pool.
Select a location with accessibility to water and electric sources.
Consider privacy when selecting a location.
GROUND PREPARATION
The surface the Fastlane Pool is to be assembled on must be firm and level. The Fastlane
Pool must be installed as level as possible, within 2”- 3” of level (from the highest point to
the lowest point of the pool). If the pool will be assembled on a sloping surface, be sure to
install the skimmer on the lower side to ensure that it will not suck air into the pump. If
the ground is not level and it is desired to make a more level surface, take the earth from
the high area of the uneven surface; do not add earth to the low area of the surface. Once
the surface is level, clear any debris or sharp objects that may be uncomfortable to walk on
or could become a puncture hazard for the liner. Foam flooring may be added under the
liner for additional comfort.
The pool is comprised of various parts. Therefore, before proceeding with installation,
ensure that all necessary parts for the pool are present and group like parts together.

The supporting legs, or struts (Part G), support much of the weight of the Fastlane Pool and
may need additional support in “soft ground” installations, or in areas that may experience
excess ground water. A 2”x 8” x 22” piece of lumber installed under each strut’s base and
leveled with the ground is very effective. Make sure the entire base of each strut is on the
2” x 8” lumber as any over-hang may result in bending of the strut. A concrete slab of the
similar dimensions may be used as well. Please note that any support(s) added under the
pool structure must be recessed so that the top of the support is level with the ground
surface. Lifting the struts or frame in any manner may cause excessive stress on the liner
and frame, and may void the Fastlane Pool warranty. (Refer to Diagram #1: Supporting
Legs / Struts.)

POOL ASSEMBLY
1. Unfold and spread out liner (Part A) on the prepared area. NOTE: Keep in mind
the desired “swim direction” when positioning the liner, because when the
Fastlane Pool is fully assembled, the swim direction will be headed towards
the skimmer.
2. Align the struts (Part G) with the prepared cut outs at top of liner.

3. Connect bottom tubes (Part F) to struts (Part G) one at a time to make the four sides
of the pool. Connect corner tubes (Part E) to the open ends of both struts to finish
each of the four corners.
4. Connect the top tubes (Parts B and C) together. NOTE: The shorter tube (Part C)
is always the last tube on the right when facing the pool wall. (Refer to
Diagram #2: Wider Straight Tube Layout.)
