Selecting a suitable site
We want you to have great fun with your pool for many years. Therefore it is imperative that you
prepare the pool space thoroughly. The better and tighter the pool space is prepared, the longer
you will be able to enjoy your swimming pool. We therefore ask you to use reasonable care.
