Trevi 128 User manual

When selecting a site for your pool, take into account
city by-laws regarding fences and utilities laws pertain-
ing to electrical cables, as well as the landscaping
which you are planning once the pool is installed.
Drive a stake into the ground at the center of the site.
Using a measuring tape, draw a circle 15 cm to 20 cm (6"
to 8") longer in radius than the pool, depending on the
width of the uprights (See Illustration 1.1).
Remove all grass from the area which you have just out-
lined.
Make sure to order the required quantity of sand and stone
dust (See Chart).

Level the edge of the circle, from the turf removal line up
to 30 cm (12”) within the circle.
To do this, use a carpenter’s level set on a large straight
beam, a rope or an optical level.
Carefully pack the soil using a tampering tool or vibrating
plate (See Illustrations 2.1 and 2.2), especially those
areas where a large quantity of soil was added.
It is also highly recommended to firm up the edge by
adding a 2 cm (3/4”) layer of stone dust (or sand).
Optional
The center of the circle can then be excavated at the
desired depth, not to exceed 15 cm (6”) for a standard
liner (See Illustration 2.3).
Remove any stone, pieces of wood or other debris from
within the circle. Flatten any protrusion and pack the soil
tightly. Spread the area with salt to prevent roots from
growing back and to eliminate earthworms. Spread also
ant repellant; all causes of post-installation cracking.
To protect the liner, cover with a think 2 cm (3/4") layer of
compacting sand.
Make sure you add a sufficient quantity of sand to the
base finishing inside the circle (See Step 6).
It is possible to install the pool on a concrete (dalle) and
to use a (tapis de sol).

Insert the wall tracks on each side of the joiner plates,
making sure to leave a 1.3 cm (½") space between the
ends of both tracks, in the center of the joiner plate (See
Illustration 4.1).
Make a complete circle, using half of the wall tracks and
joiner plates found in the pool kit (See Chart and
Illustration 4.2).
BOTTOM WALL TRACKS ASSEMBLY
4
Before uncoiling the wall, make sure the pre-punched
holes for the skimmer and pump return are at the top and
facing the planned location of your filter.
Begin inserting the wall into the bottom wall tracks in the
middle of a joiner plate. At first, the wall should be kept in
place with one or two support bars (or extra persons).
One person should uncoil the wall on a beam or a plank
while a second person inserts it in the bottom wall tracks.
Do not uncoil more than 3 m (10') of wall before you
install a support bar to reinforce the structure.
Once the wall is completely uncoiled, you may find that it
is too long or that both ends do not meet by a few cen-
timetres. If such is the case, you must gently push the
wall in or out. If this does not work, roll up the wall again,
realign the grooves and uncoil the wall once more. If the
spread is too wide, measure the wall and check it against
the following chart.
When you prepare to join the ends of the wall, make sure
the end that is reinforced by the fold is inside the circle,
facing the liner and that the other end faces outward (See
Illustration 5.1). When the wall joint is screwed, install the
round stabiliser on top of it.
IMPORTANT: Due to the enormous pressure exerted by
the water on the steel wall, it is absolutely essential that all
the bolts are tighten to a minimum of 60 in-lbs and maxi-
mum of 85 in-lbs and no hole is left open. All bolt heads
must be inside with nut/washer outside. Cover all bolt
heads with heavy fabric tape.

Dig a hole 30 cm (12") wide by approximately 25 cm
(10") deep in the center of the circumference.
From the center hole to the projected location of the pool
motor, dig a 15 cm (6") wide trench. Place the removed
soil aside to be used later to cover the hose.
Bottom Drain Assembly
Place teflon around the threaded plug. Screw in drain
holes using large pliers. Glue the connector in the appro-
priate opening.
Take one of the two rubber rings and adjust it to the top of
the drain, aligning the holes carefully. Secure with strips
of adhesive tape to prevent sand from penetrating inside
the holes once the drain has been installed.
Secure one end of the long black or white hose inside the
drain spout. First apply glue on the drain spout and inside
the drain end, then secure with one or two collars.
Cut the hose so that it ends with the stone dust (or sand).
Measure the pool radius from the center of the drain, then
add 15 cm (6").
Place the assembled bottom drain in the hole so that it is
approximately 1.3cm (1/2") higher than the surface soil.
Bury the hose, levelling the drain as much as possible.
Compact the soil, using your feet and a tampering tool as
well.
Mix three (3) shovels of stone or sand dust with one half
shovel of pure cement, adding a small quantity of water,
then pour the cement around the drain until it reaches 1.3
cm (1/2") from the top.
BOTTOM DRAIN ASSEMBLY (if applicable)

Before pulling the liner up against the wall, insert a va-
cuum cleaner hose down into the pump return hole to
approximately 15 cm (6") from the ground.
Maintain the hose in place with adhesive tape. Don't for-
get to block the skimmer hole with adhesive tape to pre-
vent air from leaking in.
Place the unfolded liner in the center of the pool area at
right angles with the skimmer hole. Make sure you wear
light, flat-soled shoes to walk on the sand as the slightest
heel mark could be visible once the pool is filled.
Carefully unfold the liner, bringing the bottom-sidewall
seam close to the wall base. Make sure that the side with
the protruding seams faces downward or that the pat-
terned side faces upward.
Lift up a section of the liner over the top of the wall lean-
ing a 10 cm to 15 cm (4" to 6") fringe outside the wall.
Secure the liner with a plastic coupler.
At this point, the liner may be too tight, making it difficult
to drape the overlap or, on the contrary, too loose. In such
cases, you will have to redistribute the tension in the liner
by removing some of the couplers and readjusting the
liner.
Installation detail of the liner with the sqare steel track.
Hang the liner on the top of the wall and install the round
stabiliser to secure.
Start the vacuum cleaner to allow the liner to adhere to the
wall and check for excess tension at the bottom or for
wrinkles. Adjust the liner by removing couplers if needed,
to lift or lower it in order to ensure a perfect fit.
Fill the pool up to the base of the wall before stopping and
removing the vacuum cleaner.
PUMP RETURN FITTING
After you remove the vacuum cleaner, you may install the
return fitting. Place the return fitting ring against the liner
and adjust it so that it is perfectly aligned with the hole in
the wall. When the ring is properly positioned and
secured, cut the liner in the middle of the ring.
Insert the return fitting from the inside, placing the first
gasket between the return fitting and the liner and the sec-
ond between the wall and the liner. Then tighten the out-
side ring with large pliers, taking care not to crease the
liner.
BOTTOM DRAIN (optional)
Find the holes through the middle of the liner and screw
the ring and gasket in against the liner before cutting the
liner in the middle of the ring, then screw on the drain
cover.

You can now spread approximately 10 cm (4") of com-
pacting sand all around the inside base of the wall in order
to protect the liner from the cutting edges of the bottom
wall tracks and the stone dust (if applicable). Or install a
prefabricated cove, if available.
SAND BASE FINISHING
Level finishing sand one last time. Make sure that any
sharp stones, debris or roots have been removed from the
surface. For better protection, spray sand with water and
pack it once more until the base is nicely even.

As described in the manual, all components of the filtra-
tion system should be placed to prevent a child to climb
on top and get access to the pool. Filtration system must
be install at 1m (40’’) from the pool wall.
Using a little bit of stone dust (or sand), place at level a
patio stone 61cm x 76 cm (24" x 30") before installing the
motor and filter.
Position the motor on the stone and insert the two nozzles
to connect the hoses.
Then, install the filter tank. Adjust the lateral assembly
properly in its channel. It is sometimes necessary to
install the laterals.
Patch the center hole of the lateral assembly using the
plug to allow filtering sand to flow into the tank.
