Trevi 205 User manual

When selecting the site of your pool, take into account city by-
laws regarding fences and utilities laws pertaining to electri-
cal cables, as well as the landscaping which you plan to do
once the pool is installed.
Drive a stake into the ground at point A and B respecting the dis-
tance of the straight section between those two points. Draw the
two half circles 15 cm to 20 cm (6" to 8") longer in radius than
the pool. Join the two half circles adding 88 cm (36") on each
side to leave room for the stays. Remove all grass from the area
which you have just outlined.

SITE LEVELLING FOR OVAL POOLS WITH BELTS
For an oval pool with belts, the bottom must absolutely be le-
veled without a slope.
Level the surface very carefully using a carpenter's level and a
straight plank. Eliminate any protrusions. Make sure that the sur-
face is free of debris such as rocks, wood, etc...
Double check this very important step.
SITE LEVELLING FOR OVAL POOLS WITH CONCRETE SIDE
WALK
The advantage of an oval pool with a concrete walk is that you
can dig the bottom to give it more of a slope in the middle.
The maximum slope is 15 cm (6").
It is also necessary to dig 7.6 cm (3") deep along where the
angled posts will be installed in order to place a 2 cm (3/4")
stone base for the concrete side walk.
Dig a 30 cm (12") wide by about 25 cm (10") deep hole exact-
ly in the center of the circumference.
Dig a 15 cm (6") wide trench going from the center hole to the
planned location of the pool motor. Place removed soil beside
the trench as it will be used to bury the hose.
Bottom drain assembly
Place teflon around the plug thread. Screw in drain hole using
large pliers.
Glue connector in the appropriate opening.
Take one of the two rubber rings and adjust it on the top of the
drain, taking care to align the holes. Secure with strips of adhe-
sive tape to prevent sand from penetrating inside the holes once
the drain is 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. Secure with one or two collars.
Cut the hose so that it ends with the stone dust (or sand). The
pool radius is calculated plus 15 cm (6") from the center of the
drain.
Place the assembled bottom drain in the hole so that it is approx-
imately 1.3 cm (1/2") higher than the surface soil. Bury the
hose, placing the drain as level as possible. Compact using your
feet and the tampering tool.
Mix three (3) shovels of stone dust (or sand) with one half-shov-
el of pure cement and a little water and place this cement around
the drain up to 1.3 cm (1/2") under the top of the drain.
BOTTOM DRAIN ASSEMBLY (if applicable)

Take the radius tracks and joiner plates and start at the first lat-
eral upright by sliding a track in the orifice provided. Make sure
the track is properly secured to the track fastener and slide a
joiner plate. Repeat until the "half-circle" is complete (Illustration
7.1).
NOTE: Make sure to leave an approximate of 1.3 cm (1/2") gap
between the ends of each track, to allow easy adjustments when
installing the steel wall.
Before going to step 8, make sure that the centre of the pool is
properly squared and metallic belts stretched (see Illustration
7.2).

Study illustrations and Chart carefully. You can now put togeth-
er the metallic belts. Refer to indications on Chart for number of
metallic belts and sections per belt according to their respective
length.
Make sure you install the bolts and nuts 1/4-20 x 3/4" properly
as indicated (Illustration 4.3) so the head of the bolt is on top.
These lengths must link with the rails on both sides (Illustration
4.2), using the 1/4-20 X 3" (76mm) bolts and nuts.
The belt adaptor is installed to maintain the belt at an horizontal
position.
Illustration 4.1
Illustration 4.2
Chart
Refering to Illustrations 4.1. You have:
• 8 base angles for 3.66 m x 7.32 m (12' x 24')
• 6 base angles for 4.57 m x 7.32 m (15' x 24')
• 10 base angles for 4.57 m x 9.15 m (15' x 30')
• 10 base angles for 5.49 m x 10.05 m (18' x 33')
These angles must be placed between each metallic belt that
you have assembled in step 4. To assemble, it is important to
secure the support post to the rail, using one 1/4-20 X 3"
(76mm) bolt and then the base angles to each other using the
support post (with 1/4-20 X 3/4" (19mm) bolt). The last opera-
tion of this procedure is the assembly of the track fasteners at
each end of the pool centre.
NOTE: The base angles replace the straight track on the bottom,
but straight tracks are installed on top.
STRAIGHT SECTION UPRIGHTS ASSEMBLY
6
Number of uprights and stays:
• 10 for a pool of 3.66 m x 7.32 m (12' x 24')
• 8 for a pool of 4.57 m x 7.32 m (15' x 24')
• 12 for a pool of 4.57 m x 9.15 m (15' x 30')
• 12 for a pool of 5.49 m x 10.05 m (18' x 33')
The straight section uprights have an opening used to slide the
stay inside (See Illustration 6.1) the support post.
NOTE: Trevi 50 didn’t have uprights with an opening.
Here, the first operation consists in sliding the upright over the
support post and secure it on the base angles with four (4) metal
screw (See Illustration 6.1).
Afterwards you insert the stay in the support post opening and
you fix it with a 1/4-20 x 3” (76mm) bolt (See Illustration 6.2)
and at the other stay end, you insert a bolt of 1/4-20 x 3”
(76mm).

Select filter location (never beside a straight section, always
beside a half-circle).The starting point will be at that location so
that the skimmer and return holes are as close as possible to the
filtration system.
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.

Before pulling the liner up against the wall, insert a vacuum
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 forget to
block the skimmer hole with adhesive tape to prevent air from
leaking in.
Place the unfolded liner in the center of the pool area. Make sure
you wear light, flat-soled shoes to walk on the sand as the slight-
est heel mark could be visible once the pool is filled.
Carefully unfold the liner (u-bead or overlap), bringing the bot-
tom-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.
Hang the u-bead liner on the top of the wall and install the round
stabiliser to secure.
Lift up a section of the overlap liner over the top of the wall leav-
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 remo-ving
some of the couplers and readjusting the liner.
Install the joiner plates on top of each upright then install metal
screws at the top of the support post, making sure the support
posts are perpendicular to the ground.
NOTE: For the straight section don’t forget to fix the joiner plate
to the support post with two (2) screws.
VINYL LINER INSTALLATION
11
You can now spread approximately 10 cm (4") of compacting
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 avail-
able.
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.

Attach the uprights to the bottom joiner plates with two or three
metal screws. You will find them in the hardware bag depending
of the model.
Uprights must be installed outside the flanged part of the joiner
plate.
Note : Top and bottom joiner plates are the same.

Begin inserting the wall into the bottom wall tracks in the middle
of a joiner plate.
At first, the wall is kept in place with one or two support bars (or
extra persons). One person uncoils 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 centimetres. 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 again. 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 (Illustration 5.1).
When the wall joint is secured, install the round stabilisers 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 screwed in tigh-tly and
no hole is left open. All bolt heads
must be inside with washer and nut
outside. Cover all bolt heads with
heavy fabric tape.

Position the Safety procedures panel on the outside of the pool.
This panel must be at the most visible place from the yard on
your pool.
Place the four (4) safety stickers inside the pool in a way that it’s
seen from any entry point of the swimmer (See positionning
drawing).
SECURITY SIGNS INSTALLATION

Place top seat on top joiner plates and secure each section
using four (4) metal screws. Attach the end of each top seat
section to the surface of the top joiner plates.
For the Camelia, align the top seat with the guiding line on the
joiner plate according to the pool size.
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 mid-
dle of the ring.
Insert the return fitting from the inside, placing the first gasket
between the return fitting and the liner and the second between
the wall and the liner. Then tighten the outside ring with large pli-
ers, 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 mid-
dle of the ring, then screw on the drain cover.

Prepare a wood frame long enough to frame all angled posts,
91.5 cm (3') wide and a maximum height of 15 cm (6") since the
cement must not touch the wall directly but the base support
only.
Drive iron stakes about 46 cm (18") apart into the ground not to
exceed 7.6 cm (3") from ground level, to prevent the future walk
from receding with the water pressure.
Secure the frame using iron stakes.
Introduce the first cement coat (approx. 7.6 cm (3")), then place
the iron grid to even out the cemented surface from side to side
in order to prevent it from cracking in years to come.
Introduce the last cement coat so that it comes up to the top of
the base supports by creating a descending slope toward the
end of the frame (for rainwater drainage). Smooth out using the
rounded trowel.
Use the corner trowel to finish along the wooden frame edge.
After 24 hours of drying, you may fill with water and remove the
wooden frame.

Insert threaded nozzles, if applicable, in order to be able to screw
the valve in the skimmer.
Connect the drain hose to the bottom nozzle. Connect the motor
hose to the side nozzle.
The threads on all threaded nozzles must be covered with teflon
tape prior to installing in order to prevent water leaks. Teflon is
applied to the threads as follows: little or none on the first few
threads (to facilitate introduction) and several layers toward the
end threads (for better watertightness).

Note: See “Safety Information” manual page 1.
As described in the manual, all components of the filtration sys-
tem should be placed to prevent a child to climb on top and get
access to the pool.
Using a little bit of stone dust (or sand), place at level a patio
stone 61 cm 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 pro-perly
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.
Remove plug. Install joint in cavity and secure filter head by plac-
ing back wash position on side opposite to the pool.
Install necessary nozzles. Then, connect hoses using collars.
1-The first hose goes from the top of the pump to the side of the
filter head.
2-The second one goes from the motor to the skimmer (or to the
bottom drain valve).
3-The third goes from the front of the filter head to the water
return or from the front of the chlorinator to the water return.
A back wash hose may be placed behind the filter head.
If there is a chlorinator and/or heat pump, they must be assem-
bled at the filter exit.
