Important notes:
Please first read all parts of these instructions very carefully
and follow the advice given.
Before beginning with installation, check the swimming pool
components and make sure that nothing is missing. Also
ensure that all components are in perfect condition. We can-
not accept any liability for transport damage on parts which
have already been assembled or installed.
We reserve the right to make alterations which reflect tech-
nical progress.
If you fit your swimming pool with electrical equipment (e.g.
filter system, underwater spotlights, counter-current unit
etc.), all electrical work involved must be carried out by a
recognised specialist company in accordance with relevant
DIN and VDE regulations (e.g. DIN VDE 0100 Section
702).
Before beginning instal-
lation, you must observe
the following points:
Preparing the foundations:
The ground location for the swimming pool must be firm and
completely level; any sloping areas must therefore be dug
out.
The ground under the swimming pool must consist of natu-
rally compacted soil and not simply filled in.
Filled-in soil must be compacted so that the pool does not
sink into it.
The soil must be freed from any pieces of wood or other
debris which could damage the PVC liner. Unevenness can
be covered using a layer of fine-sand.
In the case of an asphalt or concrete base the PVC liner must
be protected from direct contact with the ground. We rec-
ommend the use of our PE protective ground tarpaulins for
this, or insulating and protective matting.
Please be sure that the PVC liner only comes into contact
with materials which are compatible with PVC. We
therefore always recommend Future Pool PE protective
ground tarpaulins or insulating and protective matting as
underlay.
Temperature
The PVC liner of your swimming pool is made of thermo-
plastic material. You should therefore make sure that you
assemble your pool under external temperature conditions of
approx. + 15° C to +25° C. And you should also not hang the
liner in the pool in strong sunlight; on warm and sunny days
you should wait until evening before hanging the liner.
Above-ground or in-ground?
Erecting the pool in sloping locations
The location surface for the swimming pool must not be
made up of filled-in soil. The area which is prepared for the
pool must be a location with natural, well-compacted soil.
The uphill side of the pool must either be flanked by a shal-
low slope or a wall. On no account must the pool wall shore
up the slope!
Please make sure that in forming a shallow slope the pool
cannot be undermined by rainwater. Drainage must be in-
stalled if you meet any groundwater.
Pool installation
Swimming pools from Future Pool can at any time be
installed in the ground as in-ground pools if you comply with
the following rules. If in doubt you should consult a building
expert, as we accept no liability for in-ground installations.
Partial or complete in-ground installation:
When planning an in-ground swimming pool, make sure that
you do not encroach into the groundwater zone when exca-
vating. Assembly of the pool is carried out in the same way
as for an above-ground model. The dimensions of the pit to
be excavated must be at least 20 cm larger than the pool
itself. Pools which are either partially or completely installed
in the ground must be backfilled with lean concrete.
Caution:
Pools with a depth of 1.50 m cannot be erected as completely
free-standing, but absolutely must be installed to a depth of
at least 50 cm in the ground. The section located in the
ground must be surrounded by a backfill of lean concrete.
