USE AND MAINTENANCE OF TIMBER SWIMMING POOLS © Failure to comply with the maintenance instructions may lead to serious risks to health, particularly where children are concerned.

1. TREATING THE WATER

Your swimming pool installation is completel. Before you get into the pool for the first time, its essential to “prepare” the water. Bathing often leads to a good deal of pollution caused by things like vegetation, earth, dust, sweat, saliva, hair, grease, etc. The swimming pool water must be protected from these substances in order to avoid various micro organisms developing In order to do this, a few simple rules may be applied: - Iris a good idea to have the filter running during the day, as itis bathing that causes most ofthe pollution. Regulate the timing of the filter according to the temperature ofthe water. The higher the temperature ofthe water, the more easily bacteria will growr. <10°

24-27° 10-12h 27-30° -> 20h Filtration time Generally speaking, whatever type of system you have, any impurities should be removed iFthe pool is cleaned regularly using the filter. The sand filter: When the amount of impurites in the sand increases, the circulation ofthe water becomes less efficient and consequently the pressure increases. Refer to the notes on maintaining the filtration unit for cleaning it - Analyse the water in your swimming pool: i is a worih checking the pH level (degree of acidity or alkalinity ofthe water] every week. It should always range between 7.2 and 7.6. An incorrect pH level may result in the water treatment products working less efficiently, may accelerate the development of chloramines (causing unpleasant odours and iritation ofthe mucous membranes. and the corrosion of any metal parts - Treat the water regularly: a weekly disinfectant trsaiment (bromine, chlorine and active oxygen...) against bacteria will avoid all the problems caused by poor quality water. One treatment every forinight with an algaecide effectively combats the initial appearance and further development of algae © Using and storing chlorinated products Remember that these are dangerous products that must be stored and used only as directed by the manufacturers. Do not mix chemical products with each other. Store products in tightly closed containers in a cool and well ventilated place; do not expose to direct sunlight. I using a container for measuring out chemicals, rinse thoroughly after each use. Read the safety information and instructions provided on each label carefully. Keep all chemicals out of reach of children... - Everyday remove as much dirty matter from the pool as possible with a fishing net (allen leaves, dead insects.. and clean the surface of the water regularly to remove greasy deposis. - Empty the pump container. Just like the skimmer container, itis a good idea to empty i regularly to maintain the optimum filtration level. Annual treatment: In order to have clean water all the time, clean the filter, change about _ to 4 ofthe water in the pool and look after it properly through the winter. Change all he water in your pool every 3 to 4 years. Problems and solutions : PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS Water clear with greenish or browmish tint. Large number of brown stains on the sides of the pool Oxidation of metallic salts (iron or copper] present in the water used to fill the pool PH level too low. Corrosion of metal parts Check the pH level. Put in a calcium and metal stabiliser when you Fill the pool. Clean out the filter. Remove sediment and filer continuously.

Water has a yellow or brownish tint Water being used to Fil the poolis high in iron or manganese See 1 Water milky and cloudy Organic and colloidal impurities Chlorinate thoroughly. Clean the filter. Remove sediment and filter well Inorganic substancesincreasing the hardness ofthe water Check the pH level. Put in a calcium and metal stabiliser when you Fill the pool

Slimy green deposits on the sides ofthe pool Build up of algae Chlorinate thoroughly. Treat with an algaecide

Sides ofthe pool have an uneven appearance Calcium deposits caused by hard water Check the pH level. Put in a calcium and metal stabiliser. If the pool is empty clean with a pool descaler.

6. lritation to skin and eyes, unpleasant odour

Presence of combined chlorine {chloramine) Adjust the pH level. Chlorinate thoroughly. Put in fresh water

7. Evidence of corrosion

pH level too low Increase the pH level to 7.0 - 7.4 —65—

2. TAKING CARE OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE POOL

- The wood Wood is a living substance which is subject to variations in humidity and temperature. Over the course oftime wood is liable to swell tiny cracks or splits may appear. Such occurrences do not in any way alter the wood s resistance or the durability of our materials Furlhermore, a deformity in the sides of the pool caused by the pressure of the water may occur, mainly on he central and lower planks [under maximum water pressure) — this is normal On he understanding that the pool has been assembled according to the instructions provided, there is no cause for concern here regarding he stability ofthe structure The sterilising high pressure steam treatment of all the timber parts protects the wood from being attacked by insects and fungi. This treatment gives the timber a greenish hue which does not pose any danger to humans. At any rate, this colour will fade with time. According to how much it is exposed to direct sunlight, the wood will gradually take on a sivery grey appearance. This process can be slowed down by using a glaze or protective oi, which ideally should be applied a few weeks after the swimming pool has been installed (fhis will stabilise the structure and reduce the greenish finge caused by the steam treatment...) = The liner The liner is a flexible PVC membrane and is exceptionally fragile. Therefore make sure that the water in the swimming pool is absolutely clean and thatthe pH level is not too high = The surface of the water is {he most exposed to a variety of deposits so it must be cleaned regularly with the appropriate products | no solvents and no abrasives should be used). = Never put any undiluted treatment product directly on to the liner as this may cause discoloration. The solid blocks ofthese products must be dissolved in a chlorine diffuser or ion the skimmer basket. = When you pause the filration system, particularly in winter, i is essential to treat the pool to prevent the build up of moss and calcium: © Never completely drain the pool. You must never allow the liner to be left for more than 24 hours without water in the pool otherwise it may change shape, cracks may appear, etc. Stains on the liner: causes and solutions COLORS OF

3. WINTER CARE AND SAFETY

Winter care is an essential element of maintaining the pool. The aim of his operation is to avoid the build up of too many algae and calcium deposit inside the basin during the winter. By adding a winter care product you will be protecting the water and your pool in winter, thus making it easier to clean at the start of he new season @ His imperative that you do not completely drain the pool in the winter [or for a long period oftime). In fact totally draining the pool does not improve the condition either of the liner or ofthe structure ofthe basin, since the water plays a dual role, providing thermal insulation and ballast. The pool is better protected from weather hasards, the water pressure prevents anything going through the sides of the pool [in case of ground movement) and offsets the pressure of soil and groundwater. Details about winter care of the filter are given in the notes provided with the tank His a good idea to remove the ladder and put it away in a safe place. For safety reasons, this ladder must only be used for accessing the pool. You should cover the swimming pool with a winter canvas cover or better still a tarpaulin safety cover certified according to safety standard NF P 90 308. In this case you will have to remove any snow from the cover regularly. But having a cover over the pool does not mean that you do not need to be vigilant. You will have to check the state ofthe water regularly and ifthe water is turning green you will have to treat it using a chlorine solution Finally, make sure that rainwater can drain away properly around the pool

4. DISMANTLING THE POOL

Whilsti is possible to do 50, dismantling he pool is not recommended, In fact, i may cause damage to he component parts and reposifioning the liner when reassembling the pool is a very delicate operation —66—
