WITHOUT THESE NUMBERS YOU CAN NOT CLAIM THE WARRANTY The diagonal dimensions of the pool SHOULD BE verified. This is necessary to avoid problems later. Revise them several times until obtaining the dimensions indicated on the drawings.

IMPEGTRCGR 19 14 01 2019.indd 7 26/3/19 9:558 In the case of breakages and/or deformations of the wood, make a complete inventory of the state of the pieces before requesting them from after-sales. This way, the pieces will all arrive in the same delivery For the assembly, the tongue of the strip should always be facing upwards, (for pools with tongue and groove system). (A) In the first line of strips, (at the base of the pool) it is normal that some strips have a groove at the bottom part and others do not have one, with a flat base (medium width strips). (B-C) During the winter, metal finishes of the beaches can oxidise. You are responsible for the maintenance of these parts. If you use a winter cover, make sure it has correct ventilation. Locate the maintenance section in the manual of your stainless-steel ladder (in the case this is included with the pool)

IMPEGTRCGR 19 14 01 2019.indd 8 26/3/19 9:559 Before screwing on the beaches of the pool, the wood should be presented for its correct localization. If your pool has a double beach, both the internal one and the external one should be presented and you should start screwing the internal perimeter. (D) For your safety, walking, sitting, or standing on the beaches is fully prohibited.

To install the blocks (pieces of wood that support the beaches), pay attention to the pool drawing. It is important that these are screwed in the exact position indicated on the drawing. Do not over-tighten the screws to avoid splintering the wood. It is recommended to sand the areas with splinters to eliminate the risk of cutting.

IMPEGTRCGR 19 14 01 2019.indd 13 26/3/19 9:5514 PROLOGUE STORAGE PRECAUTIONS While the pool is disassembled, it is sensitive to variations of temperature and humidity. Therefore, certain precautions should be taken for storage. When you receive the packets, store the pieces of wood in horizontal position on a flat surface, shielding them from humidity and sunlight to avoid any risk of deformation. ESSENTIAL:

• Do not store the wood in sunlight, to avoid excessive sags or cracks in the wood.

• Do not store the pool outside protected by a watertight cover, because the condensation emanating from the wood will make it even more humid and will subject to changes of shape. COMPULSORY:

• Assemble the structure only once.

• Store the wood of your pool on a flat surface, shielding it from humidity and sunlight.

The installation of this pool needs the intervention of at least two persons and takes two days (besides the preparation of the land and the filling).

BEFORE BUILDING YOUR POOL MAKE SURE

• You have the assistance of a qualified person for the electrical connections.

• There is sufficient water supply to fill the pool.

• That you have carefully read the manual, step by step, to fully understand the installation of your pool.

IN GROUND POOLS AND SPECIFIC REGULATIONS

For on ground pools, we recommend protecting access to the pool by one standardized protection element. For semi in-ground and fully in ground pools, the French law no. 2003-9 of 3rd January 2003. related to pool safety, as well as French decree no. 2003-1398 of 31st December 2003, related to pool safety, require protecting the pool by at least one element of standardized protection, like: - Protection fence - Pool alarm - Pool cover - Pool hut INSTALLATION SUGGESTION The land should be prepared as indicated in the «installation» chapter of this manual.

DO NOT SITUATE YOUR POOL

• Under overhead electricity cables

• Under branches of trees

• On non-stable land A good location allows you to save time and avoid limitations. The pool should be in a sunny spot and easily reached. The location of the pool should be free of tubes or electrical connections. Take into account that the best is to assemble the pool on a sunny day and avoid high winds.

PACKAGING, CLASSIFICATION AND RECYCLING

• Some pool components are packed in plastic bags. To avoid all risk of asphyxia, never allow babies or children to play with these.

• Thanks for respecting the European Union Laws and collaborating in protecting the environment. When you have installed your pool and all the components are assembled, we thank you for classifying and recycling all the packaging. IMPEGTRCGR 19 14 01 2019.indd 14 26/3/19 9:5515 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The filter kit (filter + pump) should be installed at least 3.5 metres from the pool to avoid the risk of electrocution. There should be a special differential electricity protection device for pools with electric filter pumps, according to the regulation. Never leave children without surveillance near the pool. After each bath, remove the external stepladder to avoid accidental falling into the pool of children or of pets (Regulation EN-P90-317). This pool is exclusively designed for family use. Walking on the edges or diving or jumping from them is strictly forbidden. SAFETY ADVICES Carefully read, understand, and follow all information in this user manual before installing and using the swimming pool. These warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use. Non Swimmers safety Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers by a competent adult is required at all times (remembering that children under five are at the highest risk of drowning). - Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used. - Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment when using the pool. - When the pool is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the swimming pool and its surrounding to avoid attracting children to the pool. Safety devices - It is recommended to install a barrier (and secure all doors and windows, where applicable) to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming pool. - Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision. Safety equipment - It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the pool. - Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the pool.

VERPAKKING, AFVALSCHEIDING EN RECYCLING

Wood is a natural product, the fissures visible on the edges of the wood are completely normal and do not modify the resistance characteristics of the same. Wood is always a malleable material (from 3% to 4% of dimensional variations) with humidity and temperature oscillations. Therefore, small cracks can appear and in order to limit later deformations, the technical criteria have been respected regarding the design, the choice of sections, and of packaging and the fixing methods. Knots are natural elements of wood: their aspect and their size vary from one product to another. The secretion of resin is a natural phenomenon of resinous wood. Just as no tree is like another tree, the following photographed elements cannot be considered as defects:

LEARN ABOUT THE WOOD

Mould can appear on the surface of wood, although not penetrating into it and not degrading it. After being treated with UV radiation, wood turns greyish with time without this affecting its durability. In addition to protection, varnish contributes to the beauty and long-life of wood.

SYLVESTER PINE TREATED IN AUTOCLAVE

The wood we use is select pine and dried to 2.5% before treatment in class IV autoclave. It has a 10-year guarantee against insect attack and against rot for the parts in the ground.

The recommendations about the construction for completely or partially in-ground pools are effective in the context of an installation in land which is not humid. You should conveniently adapt the basic instructions to avoid the restrictions related to the type of land (clay for example) or to the excessive presence of water in the ground, (sources, run-off rainwater...). In order to avoid any excess humidity in your land, you should install a draining system under the pool, and around it by building a decompression well. In all cases, an adapted draining system is necessary to avoid water stagnation with the possible consequences of ground contamination including the deterioration of the structure (rooting of the wood, deformation of the structure...) To guarantee quality planning, you can consider any information from a specialist as very important. UNACCEPTABLE LOCATION: Sloping, uneven ground. Sandy, rocky or soggy ground.

MARK THE INSTALLATION AREA

Once the location area is chosen (which have to be perfectly levelled), we’ll proceed at the marking. It is advisable to level the total surface area necessary before marking it (marking should be centered on the rectangle corresponding to the pool model) so that assembly work is more convenient and easy. In order to avoid any excess humidity in your land, you should install a draining system under the pool, and around it by building a decompression well. LEVELLING When levelling the ground, always remove material from the top of the slope rather than filling in the bottom: this will ensure greater ground stability and firmness. Always remove all grass, roots, stones, etc. Levelling is extremely important: devoting the necessary time and effort to ensuring that your pool sits properly on the ground will avoid problems later. How to level: thanks to a large mason rule (aluminium or wood) and a level, level out the ground forming rectangles (or squares), locating this rule in the selected and cleaned area. When all the areas are on level and when the excess of ground is removed, you may fill in the small areas which are left to level out (with clean ground or sand) but always compacting and levelling again afterwards. It is very important the installation area is well-compressed and firm in order the ground do not subside when the pool will be full of water. Please ask a professional: builder, gardener… Finishing: On the cleaned and levelled ground, spread a light coat of sieved sand (max. 1cm). Water and compact it (with a garden roller). Check that is well levelled. Do not use the sand to level the ground. The finishing has to be perfect.

Important: in the case of being non-stable land, you should make a concrete slab instead of a bed of sand. The bag should be perfectly flat and smooth, to avoid any imperfection. The concrete slab is not included. Dosing 350 kg/m

of concrete. We recommend to ask a professional to prepare the foundation slab.

PARTIAL OR COMPLETELY IN-GROUND INSTALLATION

According to the nature of the land, you should install a peripheral drainage and connect it to a decompression well. The well will be excavated before the construction of the pool to avoid that the excavations fill with water during the works. It should be near the pool, a few centimetres lower than the deepest point of the same and reach up to the surface. The decompression well is located at the most humid point. It acts as an overflow in the case of water infiltrations or clay soil, starting from the fact that water rises quicker through a tube than through the soil.

The installation of your swimming pool involves constructing a concrete slab reinforced with welded wire mesh. The concrete must be of 350 kg/m3 (standard C125 430). The concrete slab must be perfectly flattened or smoothed as any minimum error will be visible. Minimum thickness: 17 cm. We recommend that you contact a professional to construct the slab. If you wish to build the slab yourself then we advise you to procure the concrete from a professional to ensure the dosage and the homogeneity of the materials, and so that it can be poured in the shortest possible time. Installation of the frame and the slab is mandatory. The measurements of the concrete sheet must go past the inner faces of the pool by at least 25 cm. You may use bricks or shims so that the wire mesh is placed approximately in the middle of the slab and not resting on the ground.

The wire mesh improves the strength of the concrete and prevents it from breaking due to the rigidity of the concrete. We recommend bending the ends of the structure to increase the adherence of the wire mesh. The reinforcement may not be placed less than 30 mm from the outer edge of the completed works under no circumstances. Wait for 3 weeks for the slab to dry completely before continuing the installation of your pool. Before you begin installing the structure the slab must be cleaned to remove any impurities (gravel, branches, leaves) and to get rid of surface irregularities.

After having done the installation and preparation of the ground you can start with assembling the pool. Start by laying the protective blanket, which should be cut from the roll included, on the floor.Scrupulously respect the indicated measures to cut the roll.

ASSEMBLY OF THE STRUCTURE

ASSEMBLY OF THE STRUCTURE

ASSEMBLY OF THE STRUCTURE

The position of the wooden blocks and of the reinforcements is indicated in the drawing (See page 42-47). The wooden stepladder can also be used for positio- ning the wooden blocks, see stepladder chapter. WOODEN BLOCKS A• Align the upper part of the wooden blocks with the level of the last board. Maintain the wooden blocks in their place. B• Drill the boards with a Ø 6 mm bit for wood from inside the pool.

• Systematically check that the upper part of the wooden block.

• Align the upper part of the reinforcements with the level of the last board. Maintain the reinforcements in their place. • Drill the boards with a Ø 6 mm bit for wood. Tighten the screws in 2 times, from inside the pool. • First tighten the upper screws into the reinforcements and then the lower ones (in the 1st and last boards). • Check the verticality of the reinforcements. • Finish assembling the reinforcements using 1 screw per board and correct possible deformations of the wood (boards). Systematically check that the upper part of the reinforcement is well aligned with that of the board and that the head of the screw is level with the surface of the wood. RENFORTS

• Position the L trimming on the ends of the boards. • Cut off the excess part of the trimming according to the height of the pool if necessary (figure 10). • Fix trimming L using 3 screws 4 x 60 uniformly distributed over the height of the piece (figure 11). This finishes the assembly of the structure. Now all that needs doing is to position the edges (see the edges chapter). At this time of the assembly:

• The skimmer is positioned facing the prevailing winds. • The panel of the structure on which the removable stepladder will be located has been decided. CACHES L

The trims are complementary reinforcements that allow you to hide the visible sections of the metal parts. They are attached to the pool like the rest of the rein- forcements and have a cross member (figure 12) that hides the outside face of the frame.

Check the drawings (See page 42-47). The wooden stepladder is included for access to the pool. Do not use for anything else. Assemble the wooden stepladder and use it as a template to define the separation of the wooden blocks that support it. In the case that the pool ahs an elongated shape, the stepladder will be positioned on a small side. Centre the external stepladder in relation to the side. Drill with a Ø 10 mm bit for wood the 2 support and the 2 wooden blocks. Do not use the stepladder for other needs different to those indicated in this manual. Admitted maximum weight = 150 kgs. Its is COMPULSORY to remove the stepladder after using the pool. According to the height of the pool, the stepladder may need adjusting.

In the case that the pool is partially in-ground the stepladder should be cut to adapt it to the pool. For safety reasons, if the space between the floor and the first step is between 80 and 230 mm (dimension A) close this space using the step of the ladder you have removed so that dimen- sion B is less than 89 mm. To do that, follow these steps:

1- Reduce the length of the step by 12 mm.

2- If dimension A is less than 140 mm, reduce the width of the step so that when the step is installed the space below its is completely closed.

3- Assemble the modified step in the stepladder as shown in the upper diagram, trying to pre-cut the stepladder support.

For safety reasons, you should respect these dimensions whatever the configuration of the pool assembly.

There are two possibilities to install the wall protecting blanket TWO FACED ADHESIVE TAPE (NOT INCLUDED)

• Stick the two-faced adhesive tape panel by panel, aligning it with the upper part of the top boards (figure 15). If the wood is slightly humid and dusty, it can be smoothened using sandpaper to facilitate adherence.

• Check that the walls and floor are clean.. Remove screws, bark, shavings, sawdust...

• Unroll the blanket aligning it to the upper edge of the top boards (figure 16).

• Cut of the excess blanket and eliminate any folds. STAPLER (NOT INCLUDED)

• Staple the end of the blanket starting from a corner.

• Unroll the blanket aligning it to the upper edge of the top boards. Use one staple every 20 cm. (figure 17)

• Cut of the excess blanket and eliminate any folds.

The skimmer is the water suction point from the pool to the filter. Its position facing the prevailing winds allows recovery of all the possible residues floating on the surface of the water (dust, leaves...) INSTALLATION

• Cut the blanket with a cutter.. The cut will be larger than the hole (hole radius + 2 cm).

• Fix the first watertight seal (flat joint) to the body of the skimmer

• Locate the position of the hole for the nozzle..

• Make a cross-shaped cut in the blanket from inside the pool.

• Cut the blanket with a cutter.. The cut will be larger than the hole (hole radius + 2 cm). The automatic cleaner connection of the skimmer is only used for pool maintenance.

Locate some white parts in the bag. Present the piece in the joint of two boards as shown in the photograph and in the following photo. Screw in the piece using two screws 4x40 mm.

Take the measurement

• Clean the inside structure of the pool (grains of sand, screws...) use a vacuum cleaner if necessary.

• Check that the skimmer seal is in its place.

• Position the trap door inside the skimmer.

• Check that there are no screw heads protruding above the surface of the wood.

The liner should have been at least 24 hours at a room temperature of at least 20 ºC before being installed. The dimension of the liner are a few centimetres shorter than the inside dimensions of the pool, so the liner is tensely installed. The liner should be installed at an external temperature of at least 15 ºC. We extremely recommend putting the liner in the sun a few hours before assembly, so it is flexible and easy to install. The sticker with the serial number of the liner should be kept for future reference. This number will be required for any eventual reclamation against the guarantee.INSTALLATIONTo do this, you should take off your shoes to not damage the liner. Enter the pool, without wearing shoes.

To move the already installed liner, slide it along the profile. If this is difficult the liner can be removed by lifting it not to damage it. Make sure that the liner is well positioned both on the floor as on the walls, uniformly adjust the tension of the same (with your foot, push the liner by its angles towards the corners of the walls) (figure 22).

Fit the pool with about two centimetres of water (figure 23). To facilitate installing the liner, this water should be very cold.

Flattern the bottom of the liner to avoid folds starting from the centre towards the edges. Continue filling the pool. If there are still folds, correct the tension of the liner at the walls by sliding it along the hooking profile. (Oblique folds in the wall indicate incorrect positioning) (figure 24). The angles of the liner should necessarily correspond to the corners of the pool structure. Once the liner is installed, continue filling the pool up to 10 cm below the refilling fitting with key. Some weeks after filling the pool, the liner will show a different colour between the submerged part and that in the air. This decolouration is normal and does not risk the sturdiness and/or characteristics of the liner. To avoid that a dark mark appears due to atmospheric contamination between the submerged part and the part of the liner in the air, (called water line), we recommend regularly cleaning the liner in this area with a specific cleaner.

The landfill of a pool can seem a mere formality, because a first sight there are no special technical difficulties. Nevertheless, it is a more delicate operation than what it seems, for which certain precautions are necessary. An incorrect landfill can give way to later deterioration of the pool and its surroundings. It is necessary to consider the type of material being used and to perform all the necessary verifications. Before performing the landfill, you should:

• Check that all the hydraulic and electrical equipment is well connected. • Check the water tightness of the connections of the channelling, especially regarding those sealed parts. • Protect, if applicable, the peripheral

Start filling the pool with water, up to 4 cm. from the lower edge of the valve hole. Mark the hole with a felt tip pen (A) and cut a cross in the centre of the opening (B) with a cutter (BLADE), without going over the hole of the die cut. From inside the pool, insert through the cut (C), the return valve (No. 1) with one of the friction rings (No. 2) and one of the seals (No. 3). The pieces of liner that stick out through the outer part of the pool, should be cut cleanly and accurately. The other gasket (No 3.1) is placed from the outside, folding it, so that it is in contact with the liner and the panel. Place the other friction ring (No 3.1) and tighten firmly with the nut. Thread the connector tube previously prepared with Teflon into the body of the nozzle, from outside of the pool. Insert the return hose which goes from the outlet of the treatment unit to the return valve, and secure it with the clamp. Important: Before placing the hose, insert the trim. (No 5) Make sure that the filter apparatus valve is in the CLOSED position.

ASSEMBLING THE SKIMMER

Before installing the skimmer to the pool, the gate unit must be installed in the skimmer opening Then place the seal (No. 6) and the conical opening (No. 7), bolting the parts with 8 screws (No. 8) DIN7982 5,5x25 , as indicated in A.

ANCHORING THE SKIMMER

Continue filling the pool with water until it reaches a level of 4 cm. under the die-cut of the skimmer of the pool wooden. Cut the liner using the cutter (blade) following the line of the die cut.

This is the oldest of filtering systems. The filtered water passes through the sand (calibrated silicon) that retains all impurities. This type of filter is equipped with a multi-directional flap that allows easy manipulations and cleaning. DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF THE MULTI-DIRECTIONAL FLAP (4 OR 6)*: When you perform changes the position of the multi-directional flap that pump should always be stopped, without risking seriously damaging the filter and cancelling the guarantee.

1. FILTERING POSITION (OR FILTER): Usual position of the flap that allows the water coming

from the pump to enter through the upper part of the filter and circulate through the sane, where all its impurities are trapped. The water is collected in the mesh at the bottom and returned to the pool. The pressure gauge situated at the upper part of the filter allows controlling the pressure. In the case that the pressure increase 0.2 bar regarding the starting pressure, you will need to clean the filter. ÉGOUT

Skimmer Skimmer Skimmer 6. RECIRCULATION POSITION / CIRCULATION**: Position used so the water circulates through the hydraulic network without passing through the filter. This possibility is used to move the water if you want to add a product to the pool or if you should perform any operation in the filter, because in this case the filter is isolated and the water coming from the pump is directly expelled.

Consulte los planos (Ver página 42-47). PREPARACIÓN
• Antes de fijar la playa, proceda a posicionar todas las láminas de prueba, consultando el plano de instalación en el final del manual, sin atornillados, para poder repartir uniformemente los juegos. • Deje que la playa sobrepase hacia el interior para crear un «rompeolas».FIJACIÓN

• Position the pieces of wood under the edges at the angles and fix them with 4 screws (4x40).

• In the panel where the skimmer is located, cut only the outer edge with a measure cor- responding to the distance between the blocks (image 1). The hatch should be midway between the consoles (image 2).

• Secure the skimmer access hatch with the hinge included.

• To fit the hinge, place the hatch against the interior edge.

• Assemble the upper handrail (1) and lower (7) introducing one into the other (figure 25). Fix the steps (6) into the handrails using the bolts (8), the washers (4) and the nuts (9).• Position plugs (10) into the handrails to avoid the stepladder damaging the wall of the pool.
• When you have assembled the stepladder, place it on the edge with the handrail support (5) as a template.

• Fix the handrail supports (5) using the screws (3) and the washers (4) (figure 26).

A salt filter can cause degradation of your stainless steel stepladder and this is not covered by the guarantee. Do not use the stepladder for other needs different to those indicated in this manual. Admitted maximum weight: 150 kg

Perform this procedure each time you need to clean the filter. When the pressure increases 0.2 bar regarding the starting pressure you need to clean as follows. Make sure that you have correctly installed the emptying tube (not included) in the collector of the multi-directional flap, so that it allows water evacuation when the sand or filer is cleaned.

1. Stop the filtering.

2. Put the multi-directional flap to the WASH position.

3. Start the filter and let it work for at least 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Stop the filtering again, put the multi-directional flap into RINSE position and re-start the filter for 10 seconds.

5. Stop the filer and put the multi-directional flap into FILTERING position.

6. Re-start the filter and check that the pressure is correct.

With a manual pool cleaner

1. Connect the pool cleaner tube

2. Introduce the pool cleaner into the water

3. Fill the tube with water placing it before the refilling fitting with key.

4. Place the other end in the pool cleaner outlet.

5. You should slowly move the pool cleaner (to avoid moving the dust) and without taking it out of the water, to avoid deactivating the pump.

6. When you have finished the cleaning, clean the filter before putting it into its normal position.

RECOMMENDATIONS: - You should check that the suction holes are not blocked. - You should stop the filtering during the maintenance operations of the filtering system. - Periodically check the greasing level of the filter. Maintenance and wintering of the filter requires water evacuation. The evacuation should be foreseen when installing the filter group. WATER TREATMENT Whichever is your filtering system, you will need to chemically treat the pool water to destroy the bacteria and the micro-bodies and to avoid development of algae. Several sterilization products can be used, like chloride, bromine, oxygen, etc. Request the assessment of a pool treatment product sales person to take a decision. First, you have to verify the pH level using an analysis kit. Pay attention that the test bottles are only valid for one year. The ideal level is between 7.2 and 7.4 of pH and 1.5 regarding CHLORIDE. Rectify this level using pH correctors (increasers or reducers). The quantity of product is proportional to the cubic meters of your pools. To treat your pool, check the indications appearing on the product you have chosen for your pool. pH (potential hydrogen) You should always maintain the water pH between 7.2 and 7.4 because below these values the water becomes corrosive (due to acidity) and rapidly deteriorates the metal parts of your pool. Above these values the water is basic and greatly reduces the action of treatment. Never introduce chlorine tablets directly into the pool. The liner would be «burnt». During the first use, you should wash the filter (check the filer system maintenance). Filtering is a mechanical treatment that allows cleaning the pool water by means of eliminating the impurities and contaminating particles. The hydraulic circuit and water purifying group is an essential element for the optimal operation of the filtering system. The filtering system should be coherent: The filter dimensions should be proportionate to the volume of water in the pool and to the pump performance. The filtering is not anti-bacteria Therefore, you should add a product (or a system) for disinfection of the water. FILTERING TIME: During the period of use of the pool kit, the filtering system should be used every day, for sufficient time to guarantee a complete renovation of the entire volume of water. Theoretically, this the calculation: (Water Temp / 2) = equals the filtering hours Often, it is more practical to filter 4 hours before and 4 hours after use. WATER TEMPERATURE FILTERING TIME FOR ONE DAY 15 to 18°C 8 hours 19 to 21°C 10 hours 22 to 25°C 12 hours 26 to 28°C 14 hours 28 to 30°C 19 hours + than 30°C 24 hours We do not recommend intermittent operation (stopping and starting every hour) because not all the water volume will be renovated. OPERATION PRINCIPLE: The skimmer sucks the water from your pool (this element and especially the basket that collects leaves and other large impurities, should be very clean). The water is then sent through the tubes to reach a pump with pre-filter * (there another basket filters medium impurities, therefore its cleanliness is essential for good operation). The pump sends the water towards a filter that retains all the suspended impurities thanks to its filtering material. This is a sand filter. The filtered water returns to the pool. This unit can be manipulated, programmed and protected using an electrical unit (optional). The water from your pool should be subject to physical and chemical treatment to keep its transparency and to guarantee a completely safe bath. We do not recommend filling to the pool with well water, to avoid all types of chemical reaction and water colouring risks. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT:

1. The water level is correct: that is to say, slightly above half of the skimmer.

2. The skimmer and pump pre-filer baskets are clean.

3. The hydraulic circuit is controlled and the flap positions verified.

4. The filter can be started and the pressure controlled with a pressure gauge (according to the type and the position of the technical location regarding the pool). HAVING ACCESS TO THE POOL IS PROHIBITED IN THE CASE THAT THE FILTER SYSTEM IS DETERIORATED

• According to model IMPEGTRCGR 19 14 01 2019.indd 137 26/3/19 9:59138 Carefully read, understand, and follow all information in this user manual before installing and using the swimming pool. These warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use. When your pool reaches the end of its useful life, it should be disassembled; the different materials (plastic and steel) should be separated and taken to the disposal point indicated by local authorities. Non Swimmers safety Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers by a competent adult is required at all times (remembering that children under five are at the highest risk of drowning). - Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used. - Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment when using the pool. - When the pool is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the swimming pool and its surrounding to avoid attracting children to the pool. Safety devices - It is recommended to install a barrier (and secure all doors and windows, where applicable) to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming pool. - Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision. Safety equipment - It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the pool. - Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the pool. Safe use of the pool - Encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim - Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - CPR) and refresh this knowledge regularly. This can make a life-saving difference in the event of an emergency. - Instruct all pool users, including children, what to do in case of an emergency -Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to serious injury or death. - Do not use the swimming pool when using alcohol or medication that may impair your ability to safely use the pool. - When pool covers are used, remove them completely from the water surface before entering the pool. - Protect pool occupants from water related illnesses by keeping the pool water treated and practicing good hygiene. Consult the water treatment guidelines in the user’s manual. - Store chemicals (e.g. water treatment, cleaning or disinfection products) out of the reach of children. - Signage is to be displayed in a prominent position within 2 m of the pool. - Removable ladders shall be placed on a horizontal surface.

Every electrical appliance fed in 220 V, has to be located at least at 3,50 m from the edge of the pool. The equipment should be connected to a voltage, with earth connection, protected by a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.

DO NOT TAKE APART THE POOL UNLESS IT IS STRICTLY NECESSARY. IF YOU DO SO, PLEASE REUSE THE WATER. WATER IS A SCARCE GOOD. MAINTENANCE AND USE: - Switch on the filter system once a day in to insure a complete water volume renewal and never do it when somebody is in the pool (see filter manual). - Check the filter’s level of clogging regularly in summer when the pool kit is in use. - Check screws, nuts and washers (for rust). - The pool water level has always to be hold in a minimum of 15 cm from the pool superior edge. - Never empty the pool completely. Low water levels may cause serious damage to the pool. - Failure to comply with the maintenance instructions may lead to serious health risks, especially for children. - The use of a swimming costume entails respect for the safety regulations set out in the maintenance and user guide. - Never leave a pool kit empty on the ground, outdoors. - Clean regularly the P.V.C liner and the water level mark with non-abrasive products. Regularly clean the fold joining the bottom to the side of the liner, as it is an area where dirt accumulates. If you do by accident a small hole in the liner, you can repair it thanks to our rubber patches AR202 or V12. - The isothermic covers (for the summer) protect your pool from insects, dust, leaves,… and avoid to loose the water temperature. Do always set it in order the bubbles are in contact with the water. WINTER-SEASON:

1- Clean the liner bottom and sides with a non-abrasive product.

2- Treat the water with a chemical product for wintering. We recommend using LIQUID WINTERISER instead of floats with solid product to avoid discolouring the liner.

3- Leave the pool full of water considering:

a) For pools with skimmer and refulling pipe, reduce the water level 5 cm underneath the skimmer and close the refulling pipe with the screw tap which is included with the filter. b) For pools with exhaustion and refulling pipes, reduce the water level 20 cm from the superior edge of the pool and close the pipes using the screw system incorporated.

4- Disconnect the pipes. Do not dismount the skimmer and the refulling and exhaustion pipes.

5- Protect the pool with a winter cover, and put a floating element between the cover and the water, in order to protect it from frost. 6- Filter: disconnect it from the pool. Clean it, empty the sand or remove the cartridge, dry it and keep it in a covered and sheltered from dampness place. 7- Accessories: remove every accessories (ladder, alarm, spotlight, pole…), rinse them with soft water and tidy them away. TO RUN THE POOL AGAIN: Remove the winter cover, install the filter, change at least 1/3 of water and realize a chlorine treatment. Switch on the filter for at least 8 hours in an uninterrupted way, respecting the continuous working period indicated in the filter manuals. CHIMICAL MEASURES: Please read carefully the chemical product manufacturer instructions. WARNING: Keep chemical products in a clean, dry and out of children place. Important: Every products used have to be compatible with the P.V.C liner. - First filling: Analyse the water pH and chlorine (Cl) and adjust them to the optimal levels: pH: 7,2 – 7,6; Chlorine: 0.5 – 2 ppm. - Chlorine treatments: Consist in increasing the chlorine level until approximatively 20 ppm to eliminate germs and seaweeds. This process has to be done only when the pool water comes from rivers or ponds, … or if it stayed a long time without any treatments. - Checking: Check at least once a week the chlorine levels (use a chlorine and pH analyser). In the same way, we advise to add an algicid to prevent seaweeds appearance. Never have a swim before the chlorine level stabilization. Do always use a floating dispenser for the chemical product (tablets) dissolution. The chemical product measuring out has to be done in accordance with: Your pool water volume, the bathe frequency, the climatic conditions, the water temperature and the location. Do always move the water and wait for the chemical product dissolution before adding another one. Wait approximatively 12 hours between any pH, chlorine or algicid adjustment using the filter IMPEGTRCGR 19 14 01 2019.indd 151 26/3/19 9:59152

Do consider high water temperature will involved more time for the filtering. Theoretic filtering time = Water volume / Filter system discharge (generally 8h/day with water temperature of 21°C), (Ideal: 2h in the morning – 4h around midday – 2h in the afternoon). PLEASE RESPECT THE CONTINUOUS WORKING PERIOD INDICATED IN THE FILTER MANUALS. VACUUM CLEANER (MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC): Only for pools with skimmer. Connect an hose extremity to the brush head and immerse it into the water to make it fill in. Connect the other pipe extremity to the exhaustion adapter (TA) and place it above the skimmer basket. Switch on the filter in the FILTER position and begin to clean the bottom. Pay special attention to areas with folds where dirt accumulates. BOTTOM CLEANER VENTURY STYLE: Connect a garden hose to the bottom cleaner join and introduce it into the pool. Open the tap until a normal pressure to make the water flow out against the bottom of the pool, producing in that way an ascendant stream which leave the dirt into the filter (bag) which is adjust on the bottom cleaner.
