The wooden structure: Wood is a material that remains natural. Wood is a natural material, i can have imperfections. À number of them are normal and superfcal. They are excluded from the warranty because they do not affect the strength and durability of your pool. Cracks Resin Shade differences Longitudinal ribs and knots Round knots Retention of oven products Surface mould Cracks, splits and tears Wood is subject to dimensional variations depending on humidity and temperature. When it dries, it retrads irregularly, causing cracks to appear. These can be impressive, but they do not affect the mechanical characteristics and strength of the product. Resin upwelling During the autoclave treciment of resinous species, the alternation of vacuum and pressure can led to stcky resin residues on the surface of the wood. To remove them, simply scratch them gently with a suitable tool. Colour differences All wood species have variations in colour. Exposure of wood to UV rays will significantly attenuate them. Presence of knots The knoïs correspond to the trace of the branches of the tree. Our woods are selected to limit the quantity and size as much as possible. Retention of oven products Autocave treated wood often shows greenish or whitish traces on the surface that disappear over time. Surface mould Woods are prone to mould caused by microscopi fungi. This surface phenomenon, reinforced by heat, humidity and lack of ventilation, is characterised by spots ranging from light blue to black blue. À simple wiping or exposure of the wood to the outside makes it easy to remove them. lt should be remembered that treated woods in dass 4 are of course protected against fungal attack. Additional processing No additional treatment or application af a wood preservative for your Ubbink® pool is required. When exposed to UV rays, the wood will turn grey over fime without affecing ts durabiliy. However, you can apply a microporous stain compatible with the autoclave treatment to preserve its original colour if you wish. Storage and assembly of your pool IE you do not wish to install your pool immediately, it is necessary to store your package properly, without unpacking it, in a cool and well-ventilated place, or failing that, protected from the elements and the sun. , however, you are forced to unpack your pool, it would be imperative to recondition the package, flat beams, and restrap it firm. Once unpacked, the structure must be assembled within 48/72 hours.

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 complete! Before you get into the pool for the first time, it is 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: + His a good idea to have the filter running during the day, as it is bathing that causes most of the pollution. Regulate the timing of the filter according to the temperature of the water. The higher the temperature of the water, the more easily bacteria will grow. Water Temperature < 10° 10-12° 12-16° 16-24° | 24-27° | 27-30° Filtration time 2h 4h 6h 8h 10-12h | -> 20h Generally speaking, whatever type of system you have, any impurities should be removed if the pool is cleaned regularly using the filter. The sand filter: When the amount of impurities in the sand increases, the circulation of the 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: it is a worth checking the pH level (degree of acidity or alkalinity of the water) every week. lt 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 irritation of the mucous membranes...) and the corrosion of any metal paris. - Treat the water regularly: a weekly disinfectant treatment (bromine, chlorine and active oxygen.) against bacteria will avoid all the problems caused by poor quality water. One treatment every fortnight 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. If 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 (fallen leaves, dead insects…) and clean the surface of the water regularly to remove greasy deposits. - Empty the pump container. Just like the skimmer container, it is a good idea to empty it 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 of the water in the pool and look after it properly through the winter. Change all the water in your pool every 3 to 4 years. Problems and solutions :

- The wood Wood is a living substance which is subject to variations in humidity and temperature. Over the course of time 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. Furthermore, a deformity in the sides of the pool caused by the pressure of the water may occur, mainly on the central and lower planks (under maximum waler pressure) - this is normal. On the understanding that the pool has been assembled according to the instructions provided, there is no cause for concern here regarding the 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 silvery grey appearance. This process can be slowed down by using a glaze or protective oil, which ideally should be applied a few weeks after the swimming pool has been installed [this will stabilise the structure and reduce the greenish tinge 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 that the pH level is not too high. = The surface of the water is the 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 of these products must be dissolved in a chlorine diffuser or ion the skimmer basket. - When you pause the filtration system, particularly in winter, it 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 THE SPOTS POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT SHOULD YOU DO White 1.

3. WINTER CARE AND SAFETY

Winter care is an essential element of maintaining the pool. The aim of this operation is to avoid the builel up of too many algae and calcium deposits 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 the new season. © His imperative that you do not completely drain the pool in the winter (or for a long period of time). In fact totally draining the pool does not improve the condition either of the liner or of the structure of the 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 of the water regularly and if the 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

Whilst it is possible to do so, dismantling the pool is not recommended. In fact, it may cause damage to the component parts and repositioning the liner when reassembling the pool is a very delicate operation.
