ABOVE GROUND POOL SAFETY
warning
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT INJURY,
PARALYSIS FROM ABROKEN NECK, ELECTROCUTION OR DROWNING.
THIS POOL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DIVING OR JUMPING!
DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT, SHALLOW WATER!
Your pool contains a large quantity of water, and is deep enough to present inherent dangers to life and health unless the follow-
ing safety rules are strictly observed. First-time users run the highest risk of injury. Make sure everyone understands. To insure
your pool is used safely you must observe the following safety precautions:
1. NO JUMPING OR DIVING
The top rail of your pool is not a walkway and must not be used for jumping or diving. Do not
permit jumping or diving into the pool from a deck or the top rail of the pool. Diving or jumping
into the pool can result in serious injury.
2. NEVER USE THE POOL ALONE
Never permit the pool to be used unless it is attended by at least one person other than the
bather. Someone should always be available to lend assistance in an emergency.
3. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED
Never leave a child alone and unsupervised in or near the pool—not even for a second. There
is no substitute for constant adult supervision.
4. NO ROUGH PLAY
Do not permit “rough-playin” in and around your pool. Surfaces can become slippery and
hazardous when wet.
5. LIGHT THE POOL AT NIGHT
If the pool is used after dusk, adequate lighting must be provided. Illumination in the pool area
must be sufcient to clearly judge pool depth and all features in and around the pool. For light-
ing recommendations, consult your local licensed electrical contractor
6. RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE POOL
Do not leave chairs or other furniture beside the pool that could be used by a child to climb
up into the pool. Ladders must be removed whenever the pool is unattended.Afence with a
lockable gate around the pool or yard is strongly recommended and may be required by law in
some jurisdictions.
7. NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your judgment and
reexes.
8. KEEP YOUR POOL CLEAN AND SANITARY
Your lter system will remove suspended particles from the water and the surface skimmer
will remove insects, leaves and other debris from the water surface. Use the correct pool
chemicals as directed to destroy harmful bacteria and prevent formation of algae. Remember,
unsanitary water is a serious health hazard.
The safety stickers must be installed as per following instructions. Failure to properly install warning labels will void warranty.
Failure to mount these safety labels may subject you to substantial liability in case of injury. These warning are not to be removed
under any circumstances! If they become discolored or fall off please request replacements which will be sent at no charge.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow all safety instructions packaged with pool, ladder, deck or any other accessory.
Additional pool safety publications can be obtained by contacting: TheAssociation of Pool &
Spa Professionals (www.apsp.org)
important notice read before installation!
9. KEEP OFF TOP LEDGES
Do not walk on top ledges. They can be slippery and they are not a walkway.
10.POOL COVER SAFETY
The cover must have a tamperproof locking retainer cable that positions the cover around the
pool wall and keeps it securely in place. Never allow anyone, especially small children on the
cover. Asphyxiation or drowning could result. When purchasing any pool cover, please consult a
swimming pool professional.
11.ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Never touch or attempt to service electrical equipment, including the lter when your body and/
or the ground is wet. Electrocution or permanent injury due to high voltage (120VAC) could
result. The pool should be bonded in accordance with Section 680-26 of the National Electical
Code. For further assistance contact your dealer or a local licensed electrician. Do not use pool
during electrical or rain storms.
12.SAFETY ROPE & POLE
Keep a safety rope 1/4" by 50" with a otation buoy with an outside diamter of 15". Have ac-
cessible in a prominent area by your pool. Keep a pole not less that 16 feet (4,88m) long with a
blunt or hook end available at pool side in case of emergencies.
13. POOL CHEMICALS
Do not place chlorine, chlorine tablets or sticks directly into skimmer, or winterize your pool with
liquid chlorine. Damage to the skimmer, pool liner and lter will result. Failure to obey this in-
struction will void all component warranties.Always follow Chemical Manufacturer’s instructions
when storing, handling and dispensing pool chemicals.
14.CHECK FOR DAMAGE
Periodically check your pool and ladder components for damage and wear. Be sure all screws
are in place. Replace all damaged or worn components and tighten all screws before you use
the pool, deck or ladders. At rst sign remove rust and touch up immediately.
15. POOL PARTS
Never modify the pool or accessories, or remove or drill holes in the pool, deck or ladder com-
ponents unless instructed. Your pool wall is made of thin metal, there is an inherent cut hazard
with metal so use gloves during installation.Always use Original Equipment Manufactured parts
for your replacement parts. remember

A. DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF YOUR POOL
1. The Terrain
Pay special attention to choosing the right location for
your pool:
• Choose a large area, as flat and level as possible and
well drained. (Image 1)
• Choose a spot on dry, firm earth (stabilizer or oth-
er)—do not install the pool on asphalt, tar or oil based
surfaces, gravel, peat moss, wood or chemically treat-
ed soil.
• Check with your pool dealer to see if Nut Grass grows
in your area. This type of grass may grow up through
your pool liner. Your dealer will be able to advise how
best to treat the site.
• Sloped areas will need to be made level by digging
away high spots, not by filling low spots—be prepared
to hire earth-moving equipment if necessary.
(Images 2a & 2b)
• Ensure the earth is well compacted and a wall is
placed to prevent the earth from seeping out.
(Image 2a)
• If you need to install partly in the ground, you must
contact your dealer to see if this is an option for you
and that you meet law requirements in your jurisdic-
tion. (Image 2c)

Important Note:
Ground preparation is one of the most important steps in
the installation process. A proper foundation will ensure
the rest of the pool assembly goes smoothly and that no
problems will occur when the pool is filled with water.

A. CONT. DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF YOUR POOL
2. Things to Avoid
Do not locate your pool near or on any of the following
(Images 3a to 3c):
• Overhanging tree branches.
• Overhead wires and clotheslines.
• Buried pipes and wires. Contact your gas, electric
and telephone utilities to find buried pipes and wires
before you dig.
• Areas with poor drainage.
• Grass, stones and roots. Grass will rot underneath the
pool liner, and stones and roots will damage the pool
liner.
• Areas recently treated with oil-based weed killers,
chemicals or fertilizers.
3. Plan Ahead
• Will you be adding an adjacent deck later?
Be sure to leave room.
• Will you be using pool accessories or other applianc-
es that need electricity or gas? Locate your pool near
these services or plan to have them installed later by a
licensed contractor.

Important Note:
When locating the centre of the pool, be sure to take
into consideration any structures (deck, patio, house)
or relevant items (change rooms, gazebo, etc.) that the
pool may need to line up with and ensure that the pool
is in the most visual pleasing location for your property.

B. PREPARE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR POOL
1. Mark out the Area
a. The next following steps will show you how to
mark out the area you need for the oval pool.
This marked area will be larger than the pool size
itself, but this space is needed. Find a site where
the ground is stable, level and well drained. Once
you have selected your site, determine where the
middle of your pool will be.
b. Drive a peg into the ground at the centre point.
(Image 1)
c. Now you must make the round ends that will be
the oval part. In order to do so, you will have to
determine the center of the radius on each side and
drive a peg into the ground. (Image 2)
d. Using a length of string tied between the peg and a
can of spray paint mark the circles on the ground.
(Image 3)
e. Once the center has been established, and
the measurement of the pool itself has been
determined, you must now determine the outer
limits of the perimeter of your pool. Add 12” (30
cm) outside this measurement to determine pool
perimeter. (Image 4)

See Diagrams:
Please see in the next page for an EXAMPLE on how to
correctly mark your pool area.
Please verify your pool’s FOOTPRINT for correct
measurements on the last pages of this Section 1.

3. Make the area flat and level
a. Remove all the high spots with a shovel, hoe or
rake. To make sure your pool is stable, compact the
ground well before adding the sand. Be prepared to
hire earth moving equipment if you need to level
a large area. Remember, your pool must be level
across the diameter of the pool.
(Image 8)
b. Small dips and hollows may be filled in, but the soil
must be hard-packed with a tamping tool or a soil
compactor machine.
c. Take material such as rock dust or fine mortar that
can conform a solid, permanent base and deposit
this material around the rim of the basin. (Image 9)
d. The material used should be spread around the
perimeter of the pool to a width of 24” (60cm) and
a thickness of 2” (5cm). (image 10)
e. Recheck the outer perimeter of the oval shape,
where the pool wall will be placed. Compact the
ground and make sure there are no high or low
spots. The bottom edge of the pool wall must rest
flat on the ground and have no gaps under it.
