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. IMPORTANT Manufacturas Gre, S.A. will not be responsible for any fault due to poor quality in concrete. The concrete slab must be made by a professional in accordance with the instructions given in this instruction manual. If there was any complaint, the invoice for the slab may be requested in order to examine the pool’s warranty.

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

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. Varnish can be applied to wood treated in autoclave. In addition to protection, varnish contributes to the beauty and long-life of wood. In this case¡, wait for the wood to completely dry before applying the varnish.

SYLVESTER PINE TREATED IN AUTOCLAVE

The wood we use is select pine and dried to 25% before treatment in class IV autoclave. It has a 10-year guarantee against insect attack and against rot for the parts in the ground.

This is a determining stage in the construction of your pool. Certain works performed in situ, like the preparation of the land, the concrete slab, the draining... can need the intervention of professionals that will propose the most adequate solutions. Select the ideal location, in the sunniest spot possible, taking into account the local regulations (distance from the paths, public rights of way, networks...) and the landscaping after installing the pool. Decide the location by marking the ground, check the «Ground layout» section. Your pool can be installed in these three ways Try to not install your pool on recently filled land or unstable land, otherwise, you will need to make a concrete foundation slab. Whatever type of installation you choose, you should excavate and prepare the land for levelling. Attention: in the case that the land is sloping, you need to excavate it for levelling. Do not add soil to level it. In the case of assembling your pool above ground, you can use either a bed of sand or a concrete slab. If you choose the bed of sand, use fine and clean sand, otherwise you could stain the liner due to there being algae in the sand. In the case that the pool is semi in-ground or completely in-ground, the installation should be using a concrete foundation slab. If a foundation concrete slab is used this should be at least 10 centimetres thick. The pool is assembled after the concrete foundation slab has completely dried (3 weeks).

• 1 screwdriver (with Torx point No. T15, T20, T25) • 1 drill with bits for wood Ø4, Ø6 and Ø10, for concrete Ø10 and for metal Ø5

• 1 cutter • 1 spirit level • 1 decametre • 1 mallet • 1 hammer • 1 screwdriver • 1 No. 19 spanner • 1 hacksaw • 1 saw for wood• 1 ballpoint pen • PVC adhesive • Roll of Teflon • Two-faced adhesive tape or stapler • Gloves • Seal closer Assembly time (besides land preparation and filling) 1 day with at least 2 persons.

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. Mark the ground using wood pickets, screwdriver, funnel (or plastic bottle), flour or lime and a rope. 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.

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.

ASSEMBLY OF THE STRUCTURE

• Locate the 4 walls of your pool and the 4 vertical posts Present one wall and one post as shown in image (1).

• Locate some white pieces 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.

• Continue positioning the white profiles as indicated below. Part of the profile must be introduced into the part of the profile, until it reaches the limit.

±20cm±20cm 50mm 50mm

• Take the measurement

• Fixing the liner profile

• and cut the liner profile

• Installation of the profiles in the same panel

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. INSTALLATION (It is mandatory to fill the pool with water before placing the edges)To 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 6).

Fit the pool with about two centimetres of water (figure 7). 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 8). 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.

Fig. 6 / Abb. 6 / Afb. 6 Fig. 7 / Abb. 7 / Afb. 7 Fig. 8 / Abb. 8 / Afb. 868 In fully or partially in-ground pools, a gravel landfill is necessary to favour perfect draining. 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 drai- ning tube covering it with geotextile. It is important to fill the pool in parallel to the landfill in order to balance the pressures and that way avoid deformations of the structure during the operation. We recommend following the landfill technique by thirds (1/3 of water and 1/3 of landfill). During the landfill, we recommend processing by successive layers around the entire perimeter of the pool to not run the risk of damaging the structure. • Position the alveolar HDPE protection (not included) around the pool.. The alveolar protection, should, likewise continue over the slab and all round the outside of the same.

EDGES: (It is mandatory to fill the pool with water before placing the edges. Sitting on or walking on the edges is strictly prohibited. Any breakage is not covered by the guarantee.) The ends of the ledge are cut at 90 ˚. Check the drawings ( 4x60) (See page 42) PREPARATION

• Before affixing the ledge, position all of the sheets as a test (without screwing them in).

• Allow the ledge to hang over to the inside (to create a «splash guard»). Pay attention to splinters which may appear between the cutting and affixing of the ledges. Eliminate these splinters with sandpaper (not included). FIXING

• The ledges must be previously perforated with a 4 mm Ø wood drill in order to achieve a firm and lasting hold with the reinforcements. For setup, use 4 x 60 mm Ø stainless steel screws; these must screw in obliquely (for outer parts) at the bottom of the grooves.

• When all of the ledges have been tightened, continue with leveling, beginning from a single point at the center of the ledges.

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. 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».75 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.

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 system.89
