Pool Installation Guide

FIBERGLASS POOL: THE RIGHT WAY TO INSTALL.. BEST PRACTICE

  1. Mark a reference point on a nearby wall or fence to evaluate all levels, then outline the size and shape of the pool.
  2. All Pools should be installed on a concrete slab that is the 500mm larger than the pool size around the circumference of the whole pool and has a minimum thickness of 120mm.
  3. The slab must be clean, smooth, and level. If not, more time will be needed to level the pool.
  4. A laser level should be used to ensure the pool is level. Once the sand or concrete slab is leveled, lower the pool and check all corners and the center to ensure they are level. Make sure the pool is positioned correctly. Plastic or CFC sheet packers are recommended for leveling the pool. Place the packers under the side rib supports if necessary to ensure the coping is even and level.
  5. The retaining wall around the pool should be 500mm away from the pool to ensure crawl space access to pipes, lights & fitting for maintenance and replacement.
  6. Ensure there are no obstructions around the skimmer box, as the slab may drop a small amount when filled with water, which could damage the skimmer box.
  7. Choose a spot next to the skimmer box and install a 1.8m length of 90mm pipe for rainwater, with several holes cut using a grinder, about 30cm from the bottom. This will serve as an inspection pipe; you can place a stick here once a week to check for any water accumulation underneath or around the pool due to heavy rain. The inspection pipe can be used to pump out any discovered water.
  8. Apply dry pack to create a dry pack barrier consisting of an 8:1 ratio of sand and cement 200mm-250mm around the base of the pool.
