>> 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 disappear 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 with 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 depends 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.
JOINED WOOD
>> 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.
COLOUR
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.
A certain number are superficial and are not covered 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 enclosed with the
accessories kit and make sure that no items are missing.
Keep the following documents;
- the productions 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.
TOOLS AND TIME REQUIRED TO MOUNT AN OCTO POOL
- To prepare the ground (does not include pouring a concrete slab): 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).

>> 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 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.
To preserve the original colour, use a colourless wood finish. You could alternatively opt for a coloured finish or treat
the wood with a colourless oil to slow the decoloration process. Before applying the finish, check that it is microporous
and will allow the wood to breathe. Make sure that the product will not migrate (wet wood) over time to the interior of
the structure and damage the liner. Ideally, the finish should be applied before assembling the pool structure.

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 number of possible variations (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 3.50 m 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 POOLS
(ABOVE GROUND CONFIGURATION ONLY. ADVISE AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR IN-GROUND OR PARTIALLY
SUNKEN CONFIGURATIONS ARE ILLUSTRATED AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT).
Soil with a good constitution:
That is properly consolidated soil that has
not been subject to recent backfill. Even after
15 years, the backfill 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 liner.
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 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 above).
- Before you begin, familiarise yourself with the
nomenclature enclosed in the “Accessories” 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 unit, you
will need to incorporate the 2 slats specially prepared to
mount this option. .
At this point, fit the skimmer or filtration unit into the
bottom machined slat (type D).
In the case of a filtration unit, fit the 2 slats on either side
of the filtration unit, otherwise, fit the top skimmer slat
(type E) over the bottom skimmer slat (type D). Continue
around the pool with 3 type F slats and 4 type G half-slats
as illustrated.
Attach the finishing profiles (type H) to the exposed edge
of each wall using 4 equally spaced SS rivets (3.1x75 mm)
inserted into holes pre-drilled in the axis.

Fit together the remaining slats (type B) taking care to
position the slat that will hold the return fitting (type C)
and the machined slat (type D) correctly. The slat that will
hold the return fitting (type C) should be positioned over
4 type B slats + 1 type A slat in the case of a skimmer
and in the case of an autonomous filtration unit. The slat
that will hold the return fitting slat (type C) should be
positioned just underneath the machined slats. The type
D slat is positioned on the same side in the last row of
this step.

The wooden brackets will support the coping that will be
mounted after the pool is filled. Pre-drill the wall from
inside the pool then attach each wooden bracket (type l)
using 2 screws (5x100 mm sachet l) taking care to position
them 3 mm below the top of the structure. Remove any
splinters that may have been raised during this process.
The are 3 wooden brackets per side (except the side
holding the skimmer). Position 1 wooden bracket in the
centre of the slat, the other 2 equidistant on either side of
it (distance D2 in the table).
Mount 2 wooden brackets on the wall holding the skim-
mer or filtration unit. In the case of a skimmer they should
be positioned 75.5 cm apart and equidistant from the
skimmer axis. In the case of a filtration unit, they should
be 50 cm apart.
Screw a mounting plate to the top of each wooden
bracket (wooden bracket kit) . Make sure that each plate
is flush with the top of the walls.
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 3 mm drill bit.
Avoid over tightening, this could cause the screws to
break through the track.

Mount a corner junction piece (junction+corner blister pack) in each corner using 2 SS screws (bag E) inserted through
the notches intended for this purpose. Make sure that these parts are flush with the top of the pool wall. Each wall will
take a 1.18 m length of track and an additional length that will need to be trimmed to size.
Prepare the 8 additional pieces of track according to the table below. Before making the cuts, check that the total length
of the track is equal to the distance between two corner pieces less 2 mm to allow for the corner pieces. Make sure that
the cuts are straight and clean. Deburr the cuts using the fine grain file.
Fit the long section into the corner piece. Bend the track to facilitate fitting onto the junction piece. Hold the track
in position using a screw 2 cm from each end. Then complete attachment of the track by inserting screws at 20 cm
intervals.
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 clear-
ing 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.

>> ASSEMBLY OF THE OCTO+ POOL STRUCTURE
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. Only one trench is requried for the Octo 460.
Lay the cradle components out beside the trench and fit them together (using the cradle kit).
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 trenches with wet,
compacted sand. Important ! Make sure that the cradles are buried to the correct depth.

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 2 type A half-slats and 2 type C half slats together with 4 type B wall slats according to the illustration above. The male side
(double tongue) should face upwards (see the detail below).
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 bottom skimmer slat (type F) and, if
necessary, the 2 optional slats from the counter swim unit kit. (Refer to the exploded view at the end of this document for the
position of these slats). In the case of a skimmer, 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 on the same side in the last row of this step. Note the position of the
type E slat.

At this point, fit the filtration system into the machined slat (F). Slot the top skimmer slat (G) over slat F and continue
around the pool, fitting 2 type H slats, 1 type l slat and 4 type J half-slats into position as shown.
Attach a decorative trim (type K) to the end of each wall
using 4 3.1x75 mm screws (bag L) inserted through holes
pre-drilled at regular intervals along the axis.
Working from the outside, screw the metallic posts
(pre-drilled) onto the wooden walls using 6x40 mm
screws from bag C. Check their verticality. Position two
decorative profiles (Q) on either side of each post and
fasten them together using 3 5x70 screws (bag C) as
shown.
The wooden brackets are designed to support the coping
after the pool is filled. Pre-drill the wall, then, working
from inside the pool, fasten each coping support bracket
(L) in position using 2 5x100 mm screws (bag l), taking
care to ensure that each bracket is 3 mm beneath the
top of the pool structure. Check the verticality of each
support bracket.
The short sides of the 460 and 540 pools should be fitted
with 2 coping support brackets
The short sides of the 640 and 840 pools should be fitted
with 3 coping support brackets, except for the side hold-
ing the filtration system which should be fitted with
2 coping support brackets. (illustration 38).

IMPORTANT !
Before you begin to install the liner locking track, check that the structure was correctly assembled.
- Using a spirit level, go around the entire structure checking that it is horizontal.
- Check that the four diagonals are equal in length.
- Correct any defects.
Recommendations:
- The liner locking track should be fitted such that it is flush with the top of the wooden structure.
- Use junction pieces between each liner locking track section.
- Check the length of liner locking track required before trimming it.
- Pre-drill the walls using a Ø 3 mm drill bit and fix the liner locking track in position.
- Avoid over tightening, this could cause the screws to break through the track.
Refer to the illustrations on page 9.
IMPORTANT! The ground underneath the underlay should be absolutely smooth flat and free of any foreign bodies.
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
tamp it down. Unfold the underlay in the pool taking care to line it up correctly with the corners. Smooth out any
wrinkles.

>> GASKETS FOR POOL FITTINGS
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.
From the pool side, insert return fitting throughwall flange
(pool fitting pack) into the opening in the pierced 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 or an
elongated octagon 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. 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 & CUTTING OUT 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.
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).
56
Glue the second skimmer gasket to the interior surface of the skimmer or filtration unit flange.
Locate the 4 corner holes of the 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.
In the case of skimmers, 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)

>> ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLING THE STAINLESS STEEL LADDER
Assemble the various parts of the ladder referring to the
installation instructions provided.
When mounting the hand rails, do not forget the two
rubber seals that will be used to hold the decorative
escutcheon plates in position.
If the pool is fitted with in-pool corner steps, refer to the
installation instructions enclosed with this item.
Position the ladder in the pool on the coping module of
your choice (except the wall holding the filtration system
and counter swim module), remember that it should be
opposite the wooden ladder.
Adjust the position of the ladder paying particular
attention to ensure that it is vertical and that the bumpers
are pressed firmly against the inside wall.
Mark the positions for drilling. Remove the ladder and drill.
Fix the ladder in place according to the instructions
provided, the counter plate should be positioned under
the coping. Tighten moderately. Slide the 2 rubber seals
