Excavation:
Remember to consider the placement of the in-wall skimmer, return inlet and the ladder. The excavation
should be 15 cm deeper than the height of the pool. If the pool is 120 cm in height, the depth must therefore
be 135 cm.
Installation – Option 1: Construction with wooden pool decks
When the pool base is ready the pool must be constructed in the same way as if it were standing freely as
an above-ground pool in the garden. We always recommend to have the pool standing freely in the hole
without any contact to other structures. Therefore the ground must be levelled off the base plate and it must
be sloped outwards so that no soil and gravel can move down to the pool wall, even in heavy rain, etc. The
pool will therefore have to be in a funnel-shaped hole with horizontal base plate. You can secure the slanted
ground walls in various ways. For example, by bricklaying or another method; it is not of great importance as
long as the pool is always free-standing in the hole. We recommend to ask a construction expert on how this
should be done in the best way for your site.
It is recommended to complete this type of installation by building a wooden pool deck around the pool. This
pool deck is supported close to the pool with poles placed in a ring about 20-30 cm from the pool edge. This
gives you an 'in-ground' pool at ground level with a surrounding pool deck, where it is comfortable to move
and relax.
Option 2: Construction without wooden pool deck
Some choose to construct an in-ground pool in a more traditional way. In that case, the pool must be con-
structed as previously mentioned on a base plate and the pool and filter system must be connected with
reinforced flexible hose or alternatively with hard PVC pipe. The filter and the pump must be placed in an in-
ground separate shaft which must have enough space for the continuous handling to be subsequently seam-
less. Remember to take the position of the in-wall skimmer, return inlet and ladder into consideration.
Installation:
Follow the instructions in the manual so that the pool is constructed in the same way as if it was standing
freely on the ground. The pool is connected to the filter system with hard PVC pipes or with reinforced pool
hose.
Fill the pool with water. When your pool is filled with water, always do it with a standard garden hose, so
the liner in your pool gets the needed time to expand as it should. Note: You should never fill your pool with
water from a fire appliance or similar because the water filling can be too strong and this may damage your
pool.
Place several layers of insulating material 20 mm (EPS) around the pool wall. Secure the insulation with
tape. This insulating cover must completely insulate the pool wall from any direct contact with sand, concrete
or other materials.
The gap between the land and the edge of the pool must be filled with dry concrete, in a mixture of 1/5 ce-
ment and 4/5 of debris-free masonry sand. Remember: the pool must always be filled with water. This work
must be done in stages so that approx. 30 cm at a time is filled, all the way around the pool every time. Do
not tamp the material very hard as it can put pressure on the pool wall and cause dents.
Note that if you choose to install an oval pool in-ground in this way, it is always imperative to establish sup-
porting walls on each long side of the pool to relieve outside pressure from the ground.
Pool maintenance:
You must regularly check that your pool is in perfect condition. The liner must be clean, pool hoses must be
properly connected, the ladder must be properly set up and the filter system must work without issues.
Remember to check the water pH and chlorine values are properly adjusted so that the water is kept fresh
and disinfected.
