swimming pool
Oval swimming pools cannot be installed arbitrarily
and their inground part must encompass least 2/3 of
their total height. The installation site must be
provided with a concrete base slab and with retaining
walls on the long sides, which must be joined with the
base slab by means of steel reinforcement.
Once the construction is complete, the area around
the front sides to the oval swimming pool must be
backfilled with lean concrete or bricked in.

Bed preparation

The swimming pool ground must meet appropriate
static strength requirements and must be solid and
compact. Any inclined surfaces must be eliminated.
Never create any backfill on the slopes! Any slopes
must be supported by retaining walls. Never support
a slope by the swimming pool wall!
The ground for the swimming pool must be natural, it
should not consist of infilling. Any filled-in earth
should be compacted so that the swimming pool
should not sink or else more efforts must be made
when constructing the foundations. If in doubt,
contact a specialized civil engineer or a structural
engineer.
Important when installing the pool into
earth: The swimming pool must not get
into a groundwater area! If groundwater
is encountered during the excavation
work, a civil engineer-specialist must be
contacted and an acceptable solution
must be found!
A reinforced concrete base slab must be used. A
gravel layer is normally used as the subbase. Water
draining piping is generally recommended for
inground swimming pools.
2.6 Pool liner
Fig. 6
The pool liner is made of a thermoplastic material.
So, the swimming pool must be mounted at outdoor
temperatures between +15°C and +25°C. Do not
install the liner under strong sunlight, it is better to
wait till the evening.
Because of its material properties, if exposed to low
temperatures, the liner may by about 50 cm shorter
than as required for the swimming pool.
Prevent the swimming pool liner from
getting in contact with any material that
is incompatible with PVC. To this end the
use of protective geotextile padding is
recommended.
