>> RESIN BEADS
When resinous wood species
are autoclaved, the alternating
pressure and vacuum can cause
sticky resin residues to rise to the
surface. To remove them, scrape
them carefully with an appropriate
tool, being careful not to touch the
wood. Turpentine spirits could also
be effective, but could stain the
wood if too much is applied.
>> SALT STAINS
Small green stains are frequently
found on the surface of autoclaved
wood. These can be removed
with light sanding. Otherwise, this
colour will fade over time.
>> GREYING
Wood exposed to sunlight is
susceptible to greying. Some
people like the silvery sheen of
this natural patina. If, however, you
would prefer the wood to keep its
original colour and brown tones,
apply a protective coating (lazure,
oil) when the product is assembled.
>> SPLITTING AND
CRACKING
Wood expands and contracts when
exposed to variations in humidity
and temperature. As it dries, wood
contracts unevenly resulting in
the appearance of cracks. While
these can seem to be cause for
concern, they have no impact on
the mechanical properties of the
product and therefore do not fall
within the scope of the guarantee.
>> KNOTS
Knots mark the places where
branches were attached. The
quantity and size depend on
the species of wood and the
sorting process. For outdoor
installations, small adherent knots
are acceptable. The more stringent
the sorting process to limit the
number and size of knots, the more
expensive the wood will be.
>> JOINED WOOD
To ensure the highest quality in the selection of our
wood, it is sorted meticulously before planing. Planks
that feature defects on both sides are taken out. Defects
(knots, cracks, flashes) are removed and the planks are
joined together (see the image above).
This is why it is not unusual to find joined elements in
a wooden pool, it in no way penalises the mechanical
properties of the wood. For the same reason, imperfections
on the interior surface of the pool (knots, cracks, flashes)
are entirely acceptable.
>> SURFACE MOULD
Mould, caused by microscopic fungi, can grow on wood,
particularly on resinous species, on which the growth
can appear as “blueing”. It is a surface phenomenon,
exacerbated by heat, humidity and inadequate aeration
and is characterised by stains raging from light to dark blue.
They can be removed by wiping the surface. Remember
that class IV treated wood is protected against attack
by fungi that could destroy the physical and mechanical
properties of the wood. For further information, please
refer to Procopi’s guarantees concerning the types of
wood and their treatment.
>> COLOUR
VARIATIONS
Colour variations are common to
every species of wood. Treatment
brings them our because the depth
of penetration of the product will
depend on the wood density
and grain. Weathering of wood
outdoors will significantly attenuate
these colour variations.
WOOD, A
NATURAL MATERIAL.
Being a natural material, wood will have some imperfections.
These are normal and have no impact on the service life of the product.
Some types are superficial and do not fall within the scope of the guarantee.
CAUTION
Storage. If you do not intend to assemble your pool immediately, you should store it without opening it in a well-
ventilated room, or failing this, in an area protected from humidity and sunlight. If, however, you were obliged to
unpack your pool, redo and restrap the pallet. Once the pallets are undone, the kit must be assembled within 24 to
48 hours.

We shall now explain how to assemble your pool, but first some instructions before you begin.
Please read these instructions carefully, this will allow you to prepare each stage to achieve optimum efficiency. Please
keep these instructions for future reference.
You should take the time to go through the components using the nomenclature page that you will find in the
accessories kit and make sure that no items are missing.
Keep the following documents;
- the production sheets for the various kits
- proofs of purchase
STORAGE
If you do not intend to assemble your pool immediately, you should store it without opening it, in a well ventilated
room, or failing this, in an area protected from humidity and sunlight. Once the pallets are undone, the kit must be
assembled within 24 hours. Once work has begun, try to avoid leaving the structure exposed to significant climatic
variations that could cause the wood to “work” too quickly. This could lead to deformations that could render the item
unusable. By preference, the wooden structure should be assembled in one go on a day that is not too hot. The liner
should be stored at a minimum of 20°C for at least 24 hours before it is fitted. This is to render the liner more supple
and thus facilitate fitting. The liner should only be fitted if the ambient temperature is higher than 20 °C.
TOOLING AND TIME REQUIRED TO MOUNT AN OCTO POOL
- To prepare the ground: shovel, rake, pick axe, cord, aluminium ruler and a spirit level.
- To assemble the structure: spirit level, screw gun, mallet, measuring tape, Stanley knife, metal saw, flat head and
cross head screw drivers, sanding paper and a fine grain file.
- The time taken for assembly is 2 days for 2 people (does not include excavation, pouring the slab or filling of the
pool).
Keep on hand: sand and cement for tamping the soil

>> STORAGE & TIME REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
Congratulations on acquiring your pool. We have taken great care with the design and manufacture of your pool to
provide you with a top quality product.
The wood used to make the various elements (interlocking walls, coping, ladder, etc.) was carefully selected. Outdoors,
these wooden elements are subject to constant weathering: contact with the ground, temperature variations, exposure
to sunlight, rain and frost, insect attack, etc. The wood’s ability to withstand this aggression depends on the origin of the
wood and the method used to treat it.
For this reason, we choose pine from extensive, sustainably managed forests in northern Europe. Why do we insist
on this? Because the more rigorous climates above the 57th parallel favour very slow tree growth, making the wood
stronger and more resilient.
The wood is autoclaved, this involves subjecting the wood alternately to pressure and vacuum in order to drive the
treatment chemicals into the heart of the wood as opposed to other more superficial treatment techniques such as
soaking.
Class IV treated wood in contact with the ground is immune to insect attack and rotting caused by humidity.
Autoclave treatment is guaranteed 10 years, in accordance with standards currently in effect.
The pool coping is made of grooved planks of treated pine.
Wood is a living material, variations in temperature and humidity can cause it to expand or contract so take care to
follow the storage and assembly instructions concerning the wooden structure. Similarly, prolonged exposure to UV light
can cause wood to grey. These are natural phenomena that in no way effect the service life of the products.
Do not apply any product to the wood (for example, lazure, micro porous products).

This is the most important step in the procedure as the pool site will determine the service life of your pool. There are
some rules that must be respected.
Given the vast variation possible (slope, type and homogeneity of the ground, possible issues with drainage, etc) we
cannot provide recommendations for every possible permutation here. Some optional steps, such as pouring a concrete
slab, laying foundations, footing, laying drains, etc will require assistance from professionals who will be able to advise you
on solutions best suited to your configuration.
We will explain how to prepare the ground without any concrete, the objective being to achieve a flat, level bearing
surface. In as far as possible, avoid siting your pool under trees (to stop you pool from being filled with leaves) or near rises
or dips in the ground that could expose children to danger. Do not assemble your pool under electrical cables. The pool
should be at least 3.50m from any electrical source (French safety standard C15-100). On a slope, never back fill under your
pool to bring the bearing surface level, always cut into the upward slope.
Lastly, avoid preparing the ground and assembling the pool while a strong wind is blowing.
How should the pool be oriented? Ideally, the pool should be oriented so that the skimmers are facing into the prevailing
wind. This will determine the final orientation of your pool and the manner in which it will lie in your garden, notably in the
case of elongated pools.
>> OCTO AND HEXA POOLS
FOR ABOVE-GROUND INSTALLATION ONLY.
Stable surface:
That is to say, properly consolidated soil that has
not been subject to recent backfill.
Even after 15 years, backfilled soil may not be
completely stabilised.
To begin, clear the ground of plants and other
miscellaneous objects. Next, level and smooth
the surface using a spade, rake and a pickaxe (if
necessary). Make sure that you smooth out any
bumps or rough areas that could damage the
underlay, or more seriously, the liner.
After a rough preparation of the surface, plant
a stake in the centre of the circle and mark
the point where it comes into contact with the
ground.
Next, using a flat, straight piece of wood longer
than the radius of your pool, go around the circle
checking that the ground is level. This operation
requires two people (one to make sure that the
bottom of the wood corresponds to the mark on
the stake, and the other to check the level and
move the wood around the entire circumference
to ensure that the surface is perfectly level).

Trace out site of the pool and clear the ground of plants, grass and other miscellaneous objects.
Next, level and smooth the surface using a spade, rake and a pickaxe (if necessary). Make sure that you smooth
out any bumps or rough areas that could damage the underlay, or more seriously, the waterproofing membrane.
Make sure that the bearing surface is completely flat and perfectly level.
Once the ground has been prepared, use string to mark out the longitudinal axis (A1) of your pool and then
the transversal axis (A2) perpendicular to the axis A1.

>> ASSEMBLY OF THE OCTO & HEXA POOL STRUCTURE
Fit the 4 half slats (type A - smooth side facing down) together with 4 male/ female slats (type B), grooves facing down,
double tongues facing up (see the detail below).
- Before you begin, familiarise yourself with the
nomenclature enclosed in the “Waterproofing” kit and the
exploded view (at the end of this notice) that corresponds
to your pool.
- Determine the final orientation of your pool, by preference,
the skimmers should be oriented so that they are facing
into the prevailing winds. Skimmers must be mounted on a
side that starts with a type A slat.
- While assembling the walls, make sure that each slat is fully
engaged before starting on the next.
- You may need to use a hammer and a clamp to remedy any
slight warping of the slats. Do not strike the wood directly,
use the protective brace (provided).
- During assembly, check regularly that the walls are level
and the 4 diagonals are equal in length.
- To avoid the risk of injury or damage to the liner, take care
to eliminate any splinters during and after assembly.
- If you intend to fit your pool with a counter swim treadmill,
you will need to incorporate the 2 slats specially prepared
to mount this option.
At this point, fit the skimmer or autonomous filtration unit
into the bottom skimmer slat (type D) .
Fit the two slats at aither side of the filtration unit or fit

IMPORTANT !
Check that the structure is correctly assembled
before mounting the liner locking track.
To do this:
- use a spirit level to check that the structure is horizontal
around the entire periphery.
- check that the 4 diagonals are equal in length.
Fix any imperfections before continuing.
The liner locking track should be flush with the top of the
wooden structure.
Before mounting the liner locking track, pre-drill using a
Ø 3mm drill bit.
Avoid over tightening, this could cause the screws to
break through the track.

To hold the track in position, drive in a screw 2 cm from
each end. Next finish attaching the track by driving in
screws at 20 cm intervals. Use Ø4 x 35 screws (bag D).
FITTING THE UNDERLAY:
Important ! The ground underneath the underlay should be absolutely flat and free of any bumps or rough areas.
Because of the pressure exerted by the water, even the smallest bump will be visible underneath the liner. After clearing
the ground, spread a layer of sand mixed with cement (1 part cement to 7 parts sand) over the floor of the pool and
compact it. This layer should be no more than 1 cm deep. (The sand and cement are not supplied). Unfold the underlay
in the pool taking care to line it up correctly with the corners. Smooth out any wrinkles. The underlay will be slightly
smaller than the pool structure.

Each side of the pool is fitted with one track 1.18 m long and another track trimmed to fit, see the table below.
Trim 8 tracks according to the table below. Before making the cuts, check that the total length of the track is equal to the
length of the wall less 10 cm. Use a mitre box to ensure that the cuts are clean and straight. Deburr the cuts using the
fine grain file.

>> ASSEMBLY OF THE OCTO +POOLSTRUCTURE
The pool structure is mounted in two stages:
-Stage 1, excavation of the site and installation of the cradles designed to reinforce the lateral walls. A cradle comprises
a cross beam, vertical posts and metallic plates to be bolted together.
-Stage 2, assembly of the wooden structure and fitting of the additional items (liner, coping, etc.).
We recommend that the pool structure be assembled by two people.
Before you begin, familiarise yourself with the nomenclature page (enclosed with the Accessories kit) and the main
exploded view (at the end of this document) that corresponds to your pool.
You will need to dig shallow trenches to hold the cradles. Make sure that these are parallel to each other and to the A2
axle. The number of trenches required will depend on the pool model, refer to the illustrations corresponding to your
pool. Trenches should be regular and sized to hold the cradles in the right position.
Please note that 510 and 460 models feature only 1 cradle.
Once the cradles have been assembled, place them in the trenches and block them in position using wet compacted
sand if necessary. During this operation, check that the cradles are level, straight, aligned and parallel. Fill the trench-
es using wet compacted sand.
Important! Take care to respect the correct excavation depth for the cradles corresponding to your pool.

Recommendations and advice:
- Before beginning assembly, identify the various slat types with reference to the exploded view at the end of this
document.
- Establish the final orientation of your pool, the skimmer should be oriented facing into prevailing winds. The skimmer
should be mounted on a side that starts with a type A slat.
- While assembling the walls, make sure that each slat is fully engaged before starting on the next.
- You may need to use a hammer and a clamp to remedy any slight warping of the slats. Do not strike the wood directly,
use the protective brace (provided).
- During assembly, check regularly that the walls are level and the 4 diagonals are equal in length.
- To avoid the risk or injury or damage to the liner, take care to eliminate any splinters during and after assembly.
- Please refer to the various illustrations provided in this document.
- If you intend to fit your pool with a counter swim treadmill, you will need to incorporate the 2 slats specially prepared
to mount this option.
Fit together the two type A half slats and the two type C
half slats and the 4 type B slats as shown in the diagram,
with the male side (tongue side) facing up.
Fit the remaining slats together using type B slats on the short sides and type D slats on the long walls. Take care to
correctly position the pierced slats (type E) that will hold the return and vacuum fittings, the machined slat (type F). (Refer
to the exploded view at the end of this document for the position of these slats). The slat that will hold the return fitting
(E) should be positioned above 4 type B slats + 1 type A slat. The type F slat should be located above the return fitting
slat in the last row at this point in the assembly procedure.
For the +510 model, the oblique sides are comprised of type L slats, see the diagram above.

each end. Then complete attachment of the track by
inserting screws at 20 cm intervals. (Use Ø4 x 35 screws
-sachet D).
Each side of the pool is fitted with one track 1.18 m long and another track trimmed to fit, see the table below.
Trim 8 tracks according to the table below. Before making the cuts, check that the total length of the track is equal to the
length of the wall less 10 cm. Use a mitre box to ensure that the cuts are clean and straight. Deburr the cuts using the
fine grain file.

>> POOL FITTING GASKETS
Before fitting the liner, glue one of the 2 rectangular
self-adhesive gaskets (pool fitting skin pack) around the
mouth of the skimmer or filtration unit.
Make sure that the holes in the gasket are correctly
aligned with the holes in the skimmer or filtration unit.
From the pool side, insert return fitting throughwall flange
(pool fitting pack) into the opening in the machined slats.
Fix it in position using countersunk self-tapping 3x25 screws.
Fit a self-adhesive gasket to each throughwall flange. Screw
carefully by hand to avoid damaging the wood.
IMPORTANT! The ideal temperature for laying liner is between 18° and 25°C. Outside this range, the liner will be either
two rigid or too pliant and will be difficult to fit. On very hot days, lay the liner early in the morning. During cold weather
(less than 18°C), store the liner somewhere warm for as long as possible to increase it’s suppleness and do not take it out
until the last minute.
Place the liner in the centre of the pool and unfold it. When it is unfolded, the liner will form either an octagon, an
elongated octagon or a hexagon on the ground, depending on the pool model. Line the corners up with the corners of
the pool structure. Working in bare feet from inside the pool, fit the liner lip into the liner locking track, continue around
the pool.
CAUTION: The vertical seam than joins the band that covers the walls should not be on the wall that holds the skimmer.
If this is the case, turn the liner.
While fitting the liner, insert wooden half pegs (provided) in the liner locking track to hold it in position in the corners and
at regular intervals around the periphery. This will help position the liner and stop it from slipping in the track. Keep the
pegs in position until the pool has been filled with water.
Make sure that the bottom corners of the liner correspond to the corners of the pool structure. You will note that the
liner is slightly smaller than the structure, this is normal and necessary to ensure correct tension on the liner after the
pool has been filled with water. Reductions are approx 1% around the periphery and 5% along the height. Make sure
that the liner is spread out over the entire surface of the pool.
Leave the liner as is until the warmth of the sun eases out the creases caused by folding (this will take a few hours).
CAUTION:
In the event that you need to move the liner, do not slide it in the track. Take it out of the track by pulling upwards on
the lip and reposition it. Sliding the liner in the track can cause it to tear just below the lip (this type of damage will not
be covered by any guarantee).

>> FITTING THE LINER (contd.)
Once the liner has been hung and is correctly positioned,
fill the pool with 2 cm of water. Push any creases towards
the walls smoothing out the liner as much as possible.
Take care to ensure that the floor is as smooth as
possible.
This operation will not be possible if the pool is empty
or overfilled (contains more than 2 cm of water).
Stick the self-adhesive gaskets to the return fitting and
vacuum fitting flanges. Locate the holes in the throughwall flange and mark them.
Screw the flange (fitted with its gasket) into place using
the countersunk SS screws M5x16 from the pool fitting
skin pack. Tighten the screws alternately to ensure a
leaktight fit. Hand tighten, over tightening could damage
the flange.

Once the liner is correctly hung and positioned and
creases have been eliminated, continue filling the pool
until the water level is 10 cm below the first pool fitting
(underwater light or return fitting depending on their
position).
Cut out the liner inside the vacuum fitting and return
fitting flanges.

Screw the multi- directional eyeball assembly into the return fitting
body. The eyeball should be pointed left to facilitate the flow of
water necessary for efficient filtration.
(Prior to assembly, apply a layer of silicon grease to the eyeball and
its housing to facilitate its movement and subsequent removal).
51
Glue the second skimmer gasket to the interior surface of the skimmer flange. (The interior surface has sharp edges
while the exterior surface has rounded edge).
Locate the 4 corner holes of the skimmer mouth and mark them with a pen.
Position the flange such that its corner holes are aligned with the points marked in pen.
Use a small screw driver or punch to pierce the liner at the 4 points marked and fix the flange in position with the gasket
against the liner. Once the 4 corner screws are in place, continue, inserting a screw through each hole. Avoid over
tightening, this could deform the flange. Tighten the screws alternately to ensure an even and leaktight fit.
Cut away the liner inside the flange. Keep the off-
cuts for future repairs.
Clip the weir into place, smooth surface facing the
pool. The weir should be able to swing freely.
Mount the skimmer face plate.
The skimmer basket is passed through the skimmer
mouth, swing the weir towards the pool to make
space.
Place the lid on the skimmer.
(these parts can be found in the Pool Fitting skin
pack)
In the case of a filtration unit, refer to the installation
instructions enclosed with it.

Before you continue to fill the pool, assemble the filtration group. Refer to the sand filter installation instructions
below and the pump operating instructions. Study the filtration system diagram and the table below that lists the main
components and the composition of the various packs.
CAUTION ! ! ! The pump power supply absolutely must be protected by a 30 mA RCD mounted upstream from the
installation.
Similarly, follow all the installation instructions set out in the manuals enclosed with the underwater light and the
electrical panel.
The filtration system, like every other electrical device, must be wired in accordance with the standards in effect in the
country of installation (C15-100 in France).
Do not hesitate to call on the services of a professional to ensure that your installation complies with all regulation in effect.
We strongly recommend that you install the filter below the water level. If the filter is installed above the water line, there
is a risk of deformation due to depressurisation. The maximum acceptable height is level with the coping. In the event
that the filter is installed above the water line, a check vent must be mounted on the return line and an inspection check
valve must be mounted on the suction line (these items are available from any pool specialist).
