English
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• The power supply for your
swimming pool must be protected
by means of a residual current
circuit breaker (30 mA).
• Never take electrical equipment into your
swimming pool and never touch them from inside
the water.
• Free-standing lter systems/pumps exceeding 12
volts must be installed with a minimum distance
of 3 m from the pool, and a distance of 3.5 from
the pool for the current source.
• Please observe the DIN VDE 0100 part 702 for
all electrical installations of your pool.
SAFETY OF NON-SWIMMERS
• A permanent, active and watchful supervision
of weak swimmers and non-swimmers by a
competent, skilled adult supervisor is necessary
at all times (it should be remembered that the
greatest risk of drowning is among children under
5 years of age).
• A competent, skilled adult is appointed to monitor
the pool when it is used.
• Weak swimmers or non-swimmers must wear
personal protective equipment when using the
swimming pool.
• If the pool is not used or monitored, all toys must
be removed from the pool and its surroundings to
prevent that children are attracted by these.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
The use of a swimming pool kit presumes that the
construction kit complies with the safety regulations
described in the operation and maintenance
manual. To prevent a drowning of children, it is
recommended to secure access to the swimming
pool. The access to the pool is to be secured in
such a way that children under 5 years cannot get
into the pool water unnoticed. You can protect the
pool with a childproof fencing or a childproof cover/
roong of the complete pool, with an additional
alarm system, if desired. Safety devices can
make a pool safer, but never replace a permanent
supervision of children by an adult who can help in
an emergency.
While the pool is used, no equipment
used to access the swimming pool (e.g.
ladders) must be removed. When the
pool is no longer used, ladders must either be
completely removed from the pool or secured in
such a way that unauthorized access is not possible
(for example, we recommend using a safety ladder
with detachable, or foldable and lockable steps).

Assembly and Operating Instructions 'Basic' Pools

SAFE USE OF THE SWIMMING POOL
• Dives into the pool are not allowed, never jump
into shallow water (danger of serious injuries or
even death).
• Learn rst aid skills (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation CPR) and refresh your knowledge
regularly. This can make a lifesaving difference in
an emergency.
• All pool users, including children, are to be
instructed what to do in an emergency.
• Remove protecting covers completely before
using the pool, never dive under covers.
• Place the ladder to enter the swimming pool
on a secure, rm oor. Check regularly that all
connections are still rmly and properly xed, and
that there is no damage.
• Never use the swimming pool when under the
inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Never mix water treatment chemicals, keep
chemicals for the swimming pool securely closed
and out of the reach of children.
• Never allow swimming alone; children or
non-swimmers may only use the pool under
supervision and, if necessary, with swimming
aids. All users, especially children, are
encouraged to learn how to swim.
• Please use the enclosed safety labels and x
them in a clearly visible place in the area of your
swimming pool (within 2000 mm).
• Place life-saving equipment (bars, safety buoys,
rst aid emergency numbers) near the pool.
• Ensure a regular measurement of pH and
disinfectant levels, since this is the only way you
can prevent the spreading of germs (bacteria,
viruses, etc.) in the water. Please have a shower
before and after swimming. Never enter or jump
into the water when you are overheated.
• Never sit down on the edge of the pool and do
not cause excessive water movement, especially
in case of free-standing pools.
• Avoid running around the swimming pool (danger
of slipping).
• Never allow animals (dogs, cats, sh) to swim in
your swimming pool.
• Never use the pool in the dark or in dangerous
weather (lightning, thunder, thunderstorm).
• Never swim or dive between the ladder and the
pool wall (danger of getting trapped).
• Keep a working phone and a list of emergency
numbers near the swimming pool.
• Never climb directly out of the pool, always use
the ladder. Excessive pressure and kicks against
the pool wall can cause damage to or breakdown
of the swimming pool. Never sit on the basin
edge/top rail.
• Do not use any sharp-edged cleaning devices or
toys, which could damage the lining (inside).
• Check all screw connections on a regular basis
and ensure that there are no sharp-edged
corners or edges on the pool or accessories (e.
g. ladders) that could cause a risk of injury.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
Please clarify rst if the selected swimming pool
can be built at the chosen location without a building
permit and without further ofcial formalities. Please
take into account that there must be no pipes (gas,
water, electricity, telephone, etc.) in the installation
area of your new swimming pool. Built-in swimming
pools (inground, semi-inground) must not be
installed in the area of strata water or ground water.
Sunny location: We recommend to select
a location that provides a maximum of solar
radiation per day.
Trees: There should be no trees in the
immediate vicinity of the pool, since they may
cause pollution (foliage, needles, pollen) and
excess shading.
Wind: Use the main wind direction in such a way
that dirt that falls on the water surface is driven
towards the skimmer.
Logistics/neighbours: To operate your
swimming pool, you need electricity (protected
by a residual current circuit breaker), water to
rell, and a sewage connection/sewer pipe. You
should place the pool as close to the house
as possible, if necessary next to the terrace.
However, you should always ensure that
technical problems will not result in damage to
the house (e.g. leaking water owing into the
basement). Be also careful that neighbours are
not disturbed excessively, and ensure that the
site is well protected (privacy), if possible.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES
There are number of useful accessories for your
swimming pool, some of which are difcult or
impossible to retrot. This primarily includes all
built-in parts such as oor drain (which contributes
signicantly to an improved water circulation),
additional inlet nozzles, submersible oodlights for
recessed installation, integrated countercurrent
systems, etc. Other components can be installed
later (e.g. solar power system, heat pump, safety
cover, etc.). It is advisable, however, to consider
what you may want to add later at the time when the
pool is initially installed.
Important information to be
observed before assembly
Thank you for purchasing a quality product
from Waterman. Our 'Basic' pools prot from
decades of know-how, which has deepened
over the years. Our production facilities for
these pools are located in the Alsace, close
to the German border. Our employees at our
headquarters in Wendlingen am Neckar (near
Stuttgart) constantly check and further develop
the technology. Please read these instructions
carefully, and do not hesitate to contact us
directly in case of questions.

Assembly and Operating Instructions 'Basic' Pools

English
WATER CIRCULATION
Our steel wall pools are delivered as standard with
a skimmer press-cut (suitable for mini-skimmer,
rectangular, approx. 148 x 140 mm) and a 60 mm
round cut for 1 inlet nozzle, which is located approx.
80 cm next to it. Holes for other built-in parts must
be cut/punched on site during the assembly of the
pool.
Depending on the shape of the pool (in particular
for larger oval and gure-8 shaped pools), a second
inlet nozzle can be installed to improve the water
circulation (which may also save water treatment
agents), or you can place the two discharge nozzles
on the the opposite side of the skimmer (with a
T-tting between the two).
FILTER SHAFT
Especially for inground swimming pools it is
advisable to build a lter shaft (e.g. made of bricks).
Advantage: lter system and other technical
components are not visible. It also provides a good
noise insulation, and the lter system is protected
from the weather. However, it is important to provide
a good drainage (including sewer connection) so
that even in the event of an unplanned heavy rainfall
or a defect in the lter system, the lter system/
electrical connections cannot be ushed over. A
good ventilation of the lter shaft prevents corrosion
damage and should be taken into account during the
planning.
PIPING
As standard, our pools are delivered with a 38
mm swimming pool hose. This hose must not be
laid directly in the ground. In case of an inground
installation, we recommend to place this hose in a
conduit. Alternatively, many swimming pool builders
use a xed piping or a 50 mm glued hose. The
advantage of this is that the pipes are more stable,
and the smooth inside and the larger diameter
reduce the ow resistance, which has a positive
effect on lter performance/water ow (contact your
dealer, if necessary/we can also offer an alternative
piping for your pool). When laying the hose or piping
as well as skimmer and inlet nozzles, ensure that
these parts are easily accessible in case of a defect,
so that they can be replaced if necessary.

PREPARATION OF FOUNDATION FOR ROUND POOL
The best substrate for your swimming pool is a
concrete slab (thickness approx. 20 cm), which must
be perfectly level (terraces, paved areas, etc. are
critical/not suitable, since they use slopes).
1. Mark the required oor space by driving a
pole in and drawing a circle with a cord and
marking spray or our bottle.
Alternatively, you can do without a concrete slab in
case of small round pools if you take the following
into account:
2. Remove grass, ground cover/plant cover, and
roots completely.
3. Excavate soil until the ground is perfectly
level (never backll and do not use sand to ll
up). The ground must be perfectly level, with
a max. deviation = 1 cm on the entire oor
space, load bearing capacity of the ground at
least 1.2 tons (with a pool depth 1.20m) or 1
ton (with a pool depth 0.90m).
The pool must be set up on natural ground, never on
a slope. Please compact the ground with a vibrating
plate. The diameter of the installation place for the
pool should exceed the actual pool diameter by
at least 20 cm. In case of an inground installation,
adjust the cord length according to the wall backll
(in case of ground pressure, we recommend a 30
cm lean concrete backll).
Installation oor drain (optional/not included):
You can install a oor drain in addition to the
skimmer. This will result in an improved pool
hydraulics/recirculation of the pool water. When
installing a oor drain a concrete slab is required,
which should ideally be slightly lowered in the
middle, towards the oor drain.

cord
300 cm 160 cm
350 cm 185 cm
400 cm 210 cm
500 cm 260 cm
550 cm 285 cm
Use the suction function of the oor drain only when
the pool is not used (no bathers), since otherwise
there is a risk of suction to the oor.

INSTALLATION FLOOR PROTECTION
FLEECE
After the foundation has been properly prepared
and the substrate is perfectly level, you must
cover the ground with a synthetic oor protection
eece (not included in the delivery). Please clean
the surface thoroughly once again and remove all
stones/unevenness, which could be dangerous for
the liner.
Place the eece either end-to-end and secure with
double-sided adhesive tape, or allow it to overlap
(i.e. covering the edges). The eece should exceed
the pool dimensions by about 10 cm on the outside
(if no protective eece is used, there is no warranty
on the liner).
ASSEMBLING THE BOTTOM RAILS
The next step is assembling the bottom rail
segments with the connecting tubes.
Please note that the bottom rails must be shortened
to the length of the steel wall.
STEEL WALL SETUP
Do not set the pool up in case of strong winds.
There should be at least 3 people to help so that the
steel wall does not bend/tilt over. To stabilize the
wall during assembly, the top rail segments can be
temporarily attached on the top of the raised steel
wall. Please wear protective gloves as the steel wall
can have sharp edges. Place the steel wall on a
wooden board and carefully roll it apart. Insert the
steel wall into the bottom rails (white side outwards).
It may be helpful to push the bottom rails into the
steel wall from below with a board. Ensure that the

CONNECTION OF STEEL WALL ENDS (TO BE SCREWED TOGETHER)
The ends of the steel wall overlap, so that the holes
of the two steel wall ends are exactly on top of each
other. Two additional 2 stabilizer bars included to
stabilize the wall. One of these bars must be tted
form the inside and one from the outside (see
image). Insert the screws with screw heads on the
inside of the wall, then attach a washer rst and
then a nut on each screw from the outside (tighten
rmly with a 10 mm ring or fork wrench). To avoid
damage to the liner later on, it is imperative to
cover/pad the screw heads with thick package or
insulation tape (not included in delivery).
Finally, attach the blue protective cover (guardrail)
on the screw heads (plugged in from the outside) so
that the screw ends cannot cause any injury.
Important :
Tighten all screws rmly and check
them regularly. Loose screws may
cause a crack in the steel wall.
GROUNDING THE SWIMMING POOL (EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING)
Drill a Ø 5 mm hole into the steel wall, just above
the bottom rails. Attach the enclosed grounding kit
(see drawing) and connect the cable to an approx.
30 cm long metal earth spike (not included in
delivery) which you anchor in the ground. In case of
a concrete backll, place the grounding through this
into the ground. In case of above ground pools, drive
the earth spike completely into the ground so that it
cannot cause any injuries.
Attention: According to DIN/VDE regulations,
electrical installations may only be carried out by
authorized specialist companies.
ASSEMBLY OF OTHER COMPONENTS
Before attaching the liner, cut/punch all holes
required for the assembly of other built-in parts
(e.g. second inlet nozzle, oodlights, countercurrent
systems etc.) into the steel wall, carefully remove all
chips and metal parts and protect the cutting areas
with a zinc spray from rust.

LINER INSTALLATION/ASSEMBLY:
We recommend unpacking and unrolling the liner
one day before assembly. In this way, wrinkles from
transport are avoided. Handle the liner with utmost
care (never walk on it with shoes, do not drag/pull
over the oor, etc.). The manufacturer does not
assume liability for any mechanical damage that
occurs during assembly. Please also pay attention
to the possible presence of metal chips and residual
dirt, and remove these completely before assembling
the liner.
Please note that the PVC liner of your swimming
pool is made undersized, so there will be no wrinkles
inside the pool later. The liner must therefore be
installed at an outside temperature of about 20 to 25°,
since it is at this temperature that it is most expansible
and exible. The liner must never be placed without
oor protection eece (felt mats), never directly on
polystyrene or other materials, as these may cause
irreparable damage to the liner, for example due to
the removal of plasticizers.
Since the liner is always slightly smaller than the
pool, it is partly necessary to pull the liner with force
to hook it in.Since the liner is always slightly smaller
than the pool, it is partly necessary to pull the liner
with force to hook it in. Do not be afraid to pull it, the
liner has a stretching capacity of over 10%.
First put the liner in the middle of the pool and then
unfold it. In case of gure-8 shaped and oval pools,
begin assembling the liner in the middle and slowly
work your way to both outer sides of the pool. Pay
attention to the vertical liner weld; it must never be in
the area/at the level of components (skimmer, inlet
nozzle, etc.), as otherwise it would not seal properly
at this point.
The liner is now hooked to the top of the steel wall
with the help of the J-bead (this is a reinforcement
bead welded to the top edge of the liner). You can
temporarily x the liner, for example with clothes
pegs, while you are still aligning it.
At rst, ll only the basin only with about 1 to 2 cm
water. After the liner has been installed on the outer
steel wall, check if the water level has increased
evenly everywhere. If this is not the case, the pool
is sloping and it is necessary to adapt/correct the
foundation/subsoil (check this once again when the
pool is completely/partly lled, the soil may partially
settle under the weight of the water).
Next align the liner and push all remaining wrinkles
outwards towards the steel wall. Note that wrinkles
can only be removed if there is a maximum of 3-5 cm
of water in the pool; with a higher level it is no longer
possible to remove wrinkles due to the pressure of
the water.
Use only tap water and never use well water (to avoid
problems with the water quality/brown water).

ASSEMBLY OF TOP RAIL
(QUALITY Q2):
The quality/nish/design of top rails and bottom
rails is identical for Basic pool. For a round pool,
for example, the delivery includes 2 complete sets,
of which you use one as bottom rails and one as
top rail. They are assembled after the liner has
been installed without wrinkles. The individual top
rail segments are connected with the connecting
sleeves and at the end, just like the bottom rails
before, the last section is cut to the correct length
of the steel wall. Ensure that the individual top rail
segments are tted rmly and correctly together so
no gaps between the segments are visible later on.
Since the Q2 top rail is manufactured with a very
narrow grip to ensure a rm t on the steel wall, we
recommend to carefully tap it together with a rubber
mallet.
ASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTS:
All installation parts (skimmers, inlet nozzles,
headlights, etc.) may only be installed after the
water level has risen to just below the steel wall
cut-out. Otherwise there may be tears in the liner or
leakage may occur if the water level is raised later
on and the liner would be lowered again as a result.
CONCRETE BACKFILL
In case of inground pools, a lean concrete backll
is mandatory (20 cm/for extra pressure by soil = 30
cm). To this end, use a gravel-cement mixture (grain
size 0 to 8) in a ratio of 8:1 earth-moist.
The concrete backll must run along the entire
installation area of the pool, otherwise there is a
danger that the ground soil will press the pool wall
in when replacing the water. First place/glue a
waterproof Styrodur (polystyrene) panel (about 2 cm
thick) from the outside in front of the steel wall (for
thermal insulation and protection of the steel wall),
and then ll in lean concrete in layers in the space
between the basin and the soil. The water level in
the pool should always be about 30 cm higher than
the backll. Under no circumstances compact the
lean concrete or use a concrete pump. Fill layers of
approx. 30 cm with lean concrete, then wait for at
least 1 day (hardening) before lling the next layer.

PREPARATION OF GROUND
FOR FIGURE-8 SHAPED POOLS
The best substrate for your swimming pool is a
concrete slab (thickness approx. 20 cm), which must
be perfectly level (terraces, paved areas, etc. are
critical/not suitable, since they use slopes).
1. Mark the oor space by driving two pegs in at
distance A (see table), and draw two circles
with a cord (length see table) and a marking
spray or our bottle:
We recommend to install your Basic gure-8
swimming pool on a concrete slab with iron
reinforcement (thickness 20 cm). It is imperative that
the ground has a load bearing capacity of at least
1.2t (pool depth 1.20 m) or 1.0t (pool depth 0.90 m).
The ground must be perfectly level, with a maximum
deviation of 1 cm on the entire oor space of the
pool. With larger deviations, you risk the collapse of
the entire pool.
The diameter of the installation area for the pool
should be at least 20 cm larger than the pool size
(see cord length according to table). In case of an
inground installation, adapt the backll of the wall (in
case of pressing soil, we recommend a 30 cm lean
concrete backll). In this case, increase the cord
length by 10 cm (according to table).
It is mandatory to provide a trench with a width of
240 mm and a depth of 255 mm in the middle of the
concrete slab. This is where the steel slab will be
recessed and xed with concrete later. (For length of
the trench, see table on next page.)
The steel girder is ush-mounted into the base
plate (approx. 22.5 cm, up to the height of the xing
straps of the bottom rail connecting pieces).
