GroundPreparation
NOTE:PLEASEREVIEWATTACHMENT(#1)FORPOTENTIAL “SOFTGROUND”
INSTALLATIONS.
·Thesurfacethepoolistobeassembledon,mustbefirmandlevel.The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youaregoingtobe2”–3”offlevel,besuretoinstalltheskimmeronthe
lowerside toensureyouskimmerwillnotsuckairintothepump.
·Ifthegroundisnotlevel,taketheearthfromthehighsideofthesurface;donotaddearthto
thelowerareaofthesurface.
·Oncethesurfaceislevel,clearanydebrisorsharpobjectsthatmaybeuncomfortabletowalk
on,orcouldpotentiallypuncturetheliner.Afoamflooringmaybeaddedunderthelinerfor
additionalcomfort. Seeyourdealerfordetails.
·Thesupportinglegsburdenmuchoftheweightofthe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supportlegandleveledwiththegroundisvery
effective.Makesuretheentirebaseofeachlegisonthe2”x8”lumber;anyoverhangmay
resultinbendingoftheleg.Aconcreteslab(notapaver)ofthesimilardimensionsmaybe
usedaswell.Pleasenotethatanysupport(s)addedunderthepoolstructuremustbesunkso
thatthetopofthesupportislevelwiththegroundsurface.Liftingthelegsorframeinany
mannermaycauseexcessivestressonthelinerandframe,andmayvoidthepoolwarranty.
