GROUNDING
Ins me areas pools are required to be grounded most states) clieck with your f cal electrical
utili for requireme rits. All pools having a light ins alled must be grounded. All m tallic parts mu >t
be rounded with c pper grounding wire.
Mel il parts include steel panels, -frames, alums ium coping, under water lights ladders, hand
railE diving board . upports, pump and motor.
The local hydro ins ector must be ontacted fora proval before the pool is back illed and deck d.
PIPE & FrrTING S INSTALLATION
Se i -flexible PVC 5 PSI piping is suitable for thE pool circulating pipework, it is ess liable to
f rac ure than rigid ripe. Rigid pipes can be used in areas where fr' st conditions a not exist.
A) En re piping and ,ittings are supported, bring pi ng down to ex'lavation level. ( hoto 26)
B) Ea .fitting conned ion will require 1 1/2" adapt with a thread I'd end for conn ction to the fit ng.
Th adaptor is screwed into the fit n Photo 23 24 T
P g ( )Use efl n tape on thre d. The piper then
fitte over the other end. Use two l tainless steel lamps to fastei the pipe to th adaptor. Mak
sur the clamp tigh eners are oppc! site to each of er for even pre sure. (Photo 2) Rigid pipe is
glu( J together and clamps are not required.
C) All pework should slope uniformlll± in one directic 1 without any k nks or dips to oid possible e it

PREPARATION
A) Che k the depth in arious section of the pool bo tom in relation' o the top of th I walls. If the
exci vation has bee i done carefully, only a small emount of hand rimming will b' necessary.
Dep hs may be 2" o r 3" deeper thain the dimensior s shown for yotir particular poi 4 depending o
the I iickness you p an to make the hard bottom, b it may not be less, since the Iii er would not
fit sr ioothly in the p of bottom. Int the bottom of th shallow end put 2" of hard bt om mix so
the nished depth i, 40". e
B) Remove all loose dh before installi g finished bot m.
C) If thi excavated hof D is a dry hole, i.e. does not n d to be contint ously pumped' :)ut to keep th
wat out, then the iard bottom mii can be applied directly on the firm earth apps ximately 2" to 3"
thicl if the hole is e wet hole, the bottom of the de Bp end should 6e dug out a fug her 6". This 6
extr, depth should [ e filled with 3/4" stone. A con rete shell 3" th ck should now; a laid over th
entii bottom and rough trowelled. When this has set, a 1/2" thicli layer of hard l ttom mix shoi dd
be s read over the oncrete to give you a smooth inish on which' he liner will re t. It should be iol
that he above is a , uide and judgement on the co dition of the hole plays an im , ortant part in
deci ling just how w t or dry a givet hole is. A co rete shell can Iso be used if � he hole is dry.
D) Mati rials Required See Page 3
