Your pool is designed for years of pleasurable, safe family fun. But, when used
incorrectly, a swimming pool can be dangerous. To insure your pool is used safely
you must observe the following safety precautions:
1. Do not dive! - Do not jump! - No rough play! - No running or pushing!
2. Do not walk on the top ledge. It can be slippery and is not a walkway.
3. Be sure to install all safety labels provided with your pool according to the
instructions.
4. Keep a safety rope 1/4” by 50’ with a otation buoy with an outside diameter of
15”. Have accessible in a prominent area by your pool.
5. Post near all entrances to pool area a list of telephone numbers of the:
• Nearest available police • Nearest ambulance service
• Nearest available hospital • Nearest available re department
• Nearest available physician • Nearest available rescue unit
• 911 emergency number if available
6. Provide the fencing or enclosure which is independent of the house as a closure
around the entire pool area. e fencing must be made of durable material, a minimum
of 4’ in height from the ground level and with closures with self-latching locks, to make

WARNING
Be sure to follow local building code requirements for load capacity and fencing
if using an aermarket or homebuilt deck. You must make sure all fencing and
barriers are in working order so that pool is always protected.
7. Check with your local municipality for any special laws in your area. Never
drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your judgment
and reexes.
8. Never use your pool alone. All children must be supervised continuously.
9. Do not use your pool if the bottom is not clearly visible: At night, sucient
lighting must be available. It is solely the pool owner’s responsibility to provide
an adequate lighting for the pool bottom, safety signs and walkways, which exceeds
minimum standards of the IES of North America.
10. Do not climb, stand or sit on any pool structure or the lter system. e
components such as the ltration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so
as to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.
11. Be sure that all toys, chairs and tables or similar objects a young child could
climb on be at least 4’ from your pool.
12. Do not use your pool during electrical or rain storms.

INTRODUCTION
1. Read through the entire instruction booklet before you begin. is will enable you to exactly nd
out what is involved in installing your swimming pool before you begin.
2. DO NOT ATTEMPT THE INSTALLATION IN WINDY OR GUSTY WEATHER. is will
not only make your installation more dicult, it may result in damage to your pool before it is completely
installed.
3. Although we have broken down the installation into many simple steps, you will probably nd that
steps 1 to 4 will be the most labor-intensive and time-consuming. Once you have completed those four steps
you should nd that the rest of the installation moves along much more quickly.
4. Please be sure to review all the safety material and local codes before beginning your installation.
ere is a safety envelope packed with your pool. is envelope contains the safety material and warning
stickers to be placed on your pool. If you are missing any of these items, please contact your dealer or the
factory to obtain it. e warranty is void if all the safety precautions are not followed.
5. In the event you need to make a warranty claim, it is important to know about the size and model
of your swimming pool in order to expedite the handling of your claim. Please ll in the information below
and keep for your records. All of this information can be found on the labels attached to the cartons your pool
is packed in.
6. Make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials before beginning your installation. Below
is a list of the tools and materials needed.
7. e actual pool design may not be exactly as pictured on our web site or brochures. e Pool
Factory, Inc. reserves the right to change and/or alter its pool designs at any time without advance notice.
Use only professional pool installers and professional tools for installing the pool by
all means.
Tools and Materials Required:
• Excavator truck or rototiller, surveyor’s tripod and transit level, carpenter level, tape
measure, hand rake, ground shovel, round-pointed shovel, wheel barrel, electrical drill, 1/8”
drill bit, impact gun with torque adjustment, 1/4” hex head socket, pool sand, patio blocks,
duct tape, garden hose with a water hook up.
• Use a professional impact gun with torque adjustment for screwing all the self-tapping screws
all over the pool by all means to avoid stripping aluminum and loosening the self-tapping screws.

ABOVE GROUND POOL
INSTALLATION
Ground Preparation
• Follow the 102” (2 panels) x 204” (4 panels) sketch provided above as your guide to install a rectangle
pool of any size. is sketch is universal for all rectangle pools’ sizes. Simply add or subtract 51” per
panel section and apply it to your pool’s size.
• First, square o and level the entire ground of your pool’s outer dimensions (Note: Outer dimensions
are always 3.5” wider than the inner dimensions). Next, dig out trenches every 51” apart between
every two wall panels for installing Buttresses under the ground, leveling ush with the ground. Please
make sure that the part of the trench located inside the pool is 20.25” long and the part of the trench
located outside the pool and accommodating the part of the Buttress having the Reinforcing Bracket
is 19.25” long according to the picture on the bottom on the right of the Page 9. ese trenches must
be four inches deep, four inches wide and thirty nine and a half inches long to accommodate all
buttresses. Also, at the ends of each Horizontal Buttress located on the dry/outside side of the pool, dig
6” (deep below the ground level) x 10” x 8.5” additional pits to accommodate 2” (thick) x 8”x 8” patio
blocks, making sure that the centers of the patio blocks will be centered and placed under the end of
each Horizontal Buttress. Next, please dig four 1.5” (deep) x 8.5” x 8.5” square pits to accommodate
four 2” (thick) x 8”x 8” patio blocks at all the four corners of the pool as shown on the illustrations on
the Page 9.
• Designate the place of the Skimmer, Filter and Return (or Two Returns), making sure that they
should be placed one panel o the corner (please see Page 23 for your reference as an example). If
your pool is quite big, please diagonally station the second return on the opposite side of the pool to
provide the pool with eective and ecient water circulation.
For 52” Above Ground Installation:
Choose Skimmer, Return(s) and Filter Location
IMPORTANT: Before starting the Installation Process, PLEASE read the entire Instruction
carefully and comprehensively step-by-step to follow all the information mentioned. Otherwise,
if you do not follow the Instruction out completely, the Pool Warranty attached to the Instruction
will become void. Please take into account that the textured surface of the pool panels should be
located on the outside/dry side of the pool and smooth surface – on the inside/wet side of the pool.

Patio Blocks Placement
• Square o and level four 8” (width) x 8” (length) x 2” (thickness) corner patio blocks 0.5” above the
ground level according to your pool size as shown on the illustration below. ese patio blocks will be
4.5” higher than the buttress patio blocks.
• Next, square o and level buttress patio blocks (centered every y one inch apart from each other
[six inches in ground]) in ground, placing the centers of the buttress patio blocks sixteen inches away
from your pool’s outer (dry side) wall size per sketch. Use a surveyor’s transit or carpenter level to
make sure that all the tops of the patio blocks are exactly square and level with the top of the ground
and with each other.
IMPORTANT: When stationing all the corner patio blocks, please make sure that all of these
patio blocks stick out 0.5” above ground level by all means. Also, when disposing all the buttress
patio blocks under the dry/outside ends of the Horizontal Buttresses, please place the 2”x2”x0.75”
Deection Compensators (provided with the hardware) under the dry/outside ends of the
Horizontal Buttresses, making sure that all of these dry/outside ends of the Horizontal Buttresses
stick out 0.75” above ground level by all means (the wet/inside ends of the Horizontal Buttresses
should not stick out above ground level at all) according to the pictures on Page 10.
