Safety warnings
It’s required to predict a special di󰀨erential protective device for pools on the electric power of the
pump according to legal and technical norms.
The minimum distance between the pump and the pool must be at least 3,50mt, to prevent
electrical shock.
Do not leave any child without surveillance near the pool.
After each use remove the exterior ladder, to prevent children or pets from accidentally falling into
the pool.
The NATURALIS pool is to be used only for private use.
It’s totally prohibited to walk along the edge, dive or jump from the coping.
The installation of your pool requires 2 persons and takes about two days (excluding the excavation
and the construction of the concrete slab). The concrete slab must be made two weeks before the
start of the assembly.
Check if:
• The electrical connections of the equipment are installed by a qualied technician;
• Make sure you have enough water to fully supply and ll the pool;
• The instructions were read with attention and you are able to reproduce the di󰀨erent steps of the
installation.
The ground for the implantation of the NATURALIS pool must be prepared according
to the instructions of this manual on chapter IMPLANTATION.
DO NOT INSTALL THE POOL:
• Under electrical cables
• Under trees
• On an un-stabilized ground.
A good location for your pool is essential to avoid future problems or disappointments.
The pool must be easily accessible, preferably in a sunny place.

Implantation
IMPORTANT:
Before beginning your Naturalis installation read these instructions carefully. Any
installation, which is not made according to these instructions, will cancel the
warranty.
The choice of the pool location is essential because it a󰀨ects not only the reliability of the pool but also the comfort
of utilization. Take all the time needed for a perfect construction. This way, you will improve the longevity of your
swimming pool and the comfort of utilization.
To enjoy your swimming pool, check if it is correctly exposed to the sun. Avoid the proximity of trees and vegetation.
Prefer an area without wind.
We recommend the alignment of the pool with an already existing construction (house, wall, terrace, etc) to t
perfectly in your environment.
Excavation
IMPORTANT:
The structure of your pool must
be built on a consolidated eld,
stable, without landll with less
than 10 years.
The recommendations for partially
or totally underground pools
are valid for an installation on a
dry eld, without humidity. The
Rectangular 2,90 x 7,14 mm must
must be necessarily, half-buried to
a depth of 52.50 cm.
After determination of the location
of the swimming pool, xe the
highest point (point zero).
Then, draw on the ground a
rectangle of 3,90 m by 8.14 m.
To obtain the perfect corner
squareness, you should mark the
point 0 4,00m for one side and
2,00m for the perpendicular side.
The union between these two points
must be 4,472m. Repeat this steps
for the remaining corners.
When all the soil markings are done,
you should obtain a rectangular
shape such as shown in the
illustration.

Excavation work
Begin to evacuate 62.50 cm deep of land inside
the rectangular, according to the highest point.
After removal, check the leveling of the bottom
and place the welded metal mesh E300.
ATTENTION:
The recommendations for partially or
totally underground pools are valid for an
installation on a dry eld, without humidity.
The adaptation of these instructions has
to be done according to the kind of soil
or to the high level of water inside the
eld (source, water ow, etc) It’s highly
recommended to place a drainage system
under or around the pool to avoid every kind
of water stagnation which can damage the
concrete work and cause the appearance of
spots on the liner.
Concrete slab
IMPERATIVE
The pool has to be built on a concrete leveled slab (only 1 cm is tolerated between the highest and
the lowest point of the area of implantation).
Put de welded metal mesh on the soil and make
a concrete slab (350 kg) with 10 cm of thickness
on all the pool’s area. The slab must be smooth,
without irregularities and completely leveled.
The concrete dosing can be easily obtained
by the 1-2-3 rule: To ll the concrete-mixer,
put 1 bucket of cement, 2 buckets of sand
and 3 buckets of gravel. The quantity of
water to add to the moisture depends on
the humidity of the aggregates. Anyway,
the concrete texture has to be unctuous.
To obtain 1 m3 of concrete, you have to mix 350
kg of cement, 680 kg of sand and 1175 kg of
gravel.

Marking the layout of the pool
Before assembling, proceed to clean the slab to eliminate all kinds of impurities (sand, twigs, leaves, etc).
The slab should be smooth without irregularities and properly leveled to allow the correct assembly of the pool.
IMPORTANT:
The assembly of the pool should be performed after complete drying of the concrete slab (2/3 weeks).
Dimensions shown are interior dimensions.
On the concrete slab perform marking the route of the
pool. A rst marking nds the center point of the concrete
slab (0).
Perform marking of points 1and 2separated 3.5725
m from the center of the pool (0). Repeat to get points
1 and 2 with a distance of 1.45 m from the center of the
pool (0). Make sure 1/2 is 3/4 perpendicular.
From points 3 and 4 draw two parallel lines the 1 / 2
over the entire length of the concrete slab.
From points 1 and 2, draw two lines parallel to the lines
3/4.
Conrm the corresponding diagonals with the
measurement of 7,72 m and with this way you will obtain
the form for the installation of the pool.
After the correct marking of the layout of the pool, it is time
to begin the assembly of the structure. The assembly of the
structure is initiated by the placement of the corner pillars.
Choose one of the corners of the pool to begin placement
of the structure.

Fastening the pillars and the base structure
NOTE:
There are two types of pillars: straight and
angle. The straight pillars are placed on the
length of the pool.
The angle pillars are intended to be placed
across the width of the pool.
right pillar
angle pillar
The installation of the structure starts from the corner of the pool (A). Position the abutment correctly as shown in
the picture and then attach the base panel.
For the xing between the corner pillar
and the right pillar that make up the
corners of the pool, the joints between
the corners are used.
Union between corners
The joints allow to unify the pillars that make up the
corner and the base structure panel.
Then proceed to the placement of the next panel
and make the respective fastening using the screws
provided.
After xing the 1st base frame panel to the corner pillar,
place the right pillar that completes the corner of the
pool.
Then repeat the same procedure until you get the full
shape of the pool. Before securing to the concrete slab,
check the diagonals and leveling of the structure.
