Installation Instructions

HOW TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure to read these instructions completely before

beginning the installation of your pool. ATTENTION:

Always use these assembly instructions to install

your swimming pool. Ignore any English instructions

included with the pool, as the size will be in inches, etc.

ATTENTION: Check the pool parts with the English

parts lists.

These are installation instructions for the installation of

several sizes of round pools. Use the pool parts list and

extensive illustrations to identify your pool parts; then

read these instructions and follow the steps that pertain

to your pool assembly.

Embassy PoolCo. cannot be held liable for damage

caused by careless or improper installation. Your war-

ranty is void if the pool assembly and installation instruc-

tions are not followed exactly, or if the pool design is

altered in any way.

Contracted Installation

Embassy PoolCo. is not affiliated with any professional

pool installers and cannot assume any responsibility

for installation mistakes made by the homeowner. If the

pool is installed by others, please supervise the installa-

tion and make sure that the correct installation method

is applied.

Change of pool design

Embassy PoolCo. expressly reserves the right to change

or modify the design and instruction during the course

of our manufacturing procedures, without incurring any

obligation or liability to reapply such modifications on

products previously or currently sold.

CAUTIONS

1. Do not attempt to install pool wall on windy days.

An unsupported pool wall can easily blow down and

may thus cause personal injury.

2. When assembling your pool, keep the parts not

currently used in an area out of the way. Unpacked

parts are easily tripped over and may be damaged

or cause personal injury.

3. Do not attempt to lift the heavy boxes by yourself. To

reduce the possibility of personal injury, have some-

one help you move heavy boxes (pool wall, liner, etc.).

WARNING

1. Your pool must be level within 2-3 cm all around.

An unlevel pool may cause excessive stress on

the pool frame. A pool which is not level may

cause a lot of pressure on the frame. This may

result in pool failure which could cause serious

personal injury.

2. Your pool must be on undisturbed soil, preferably

filtered sand. Filled up sand, sudden slopes within

15 cm or the water runoff may cause a cave in of

the subsoil. This could cause pool failure and may

cause personal injury.

3. Always install the Warning Sign. The decal is

designed to warn you, your friends and loved ones

that your pool is to be used for swimming and wad-

ing only. Do not allow any form of horseplay in or

around the pool. Failure to follow this warning can

lead to severe personal injury. Read the “Safety

First” booklet (in English).

4. Use stabilised sand as a pool cove. Common sand

can easily erode and allow the pool liner to rupture

which may cause pool failure or personal injury.

5. Secure your pool when not in use. Ladders and

gates should be secured to reduce the possibility

of unauthorised entry and possible serious

accidents.

6. Always repair liner leaks. Continued leakage

between the pool wall and liner can cause wall

damage to the wall which eventually may result

in pool wall failure. This could result in personal

injury.

7. To reduce the risk of possible electrical shock,

never install your pool under overhead wires.

8. Do not alter your pool as this may cause pool fail-

ure. Your warranty is void if the pool is altered.

9. Do not install a diving board, pool slide or any

other recreational accessories for use during div-

ing, sliding or jumping into your pool.

10. ATTENTION: Do not install the pool liner at tem-

peratures under 16ºC. At lower temperatures the

liner’s elasticity is too limited for proper installation.

Step 1

Depending on the size of your pool (please refer to the

pool layout dimensions above) you will determine the

pool diameter and determine the outline of the working

space (60 cm).

Drive the stake into ground at pool centre and draw a

circle around it. Now level and smooth the soil within

the circle as indicated. In order to obtain solid subsoil, it

is better to remove and level the pool area and fill it up

with loose sand. Remove sods, stones, roots and other

objects that could puncture the liner. Remember that the

entire assembled pool framework must be level and be

on clean ground (preferably sifted sand).

Step 3

At this time remove the steel pool wall from the car-

ton. Note the Up arrow. The starting point of the wall

assembly is dependent on the location where you have

determined that the pump and filter will be located. The

skimmer and inlet openings are located at the end of the

coil. Always start in the centre of a bottom rail connecting

piece, then each time uncoil 1.5 m and insert that into

the groove of the bottom rail. If both ends do not com-

pletely match up, correct that by sliding the bottom rail

more or less into the bottom connecting pieces.

Step 2

Use a wooden stake as the centre and make a circle of

the diameter of your pool. For this attach a wire or cord

on the one hand to the wooden stake and on the other

hand to a screw driver or marking pen. The size is half

of the pool diameter starting from the wooden stake.

Create a circle with the bottom rails by sliding each

bottom rail into a bottom rail connecting piece, with the

groove up according to the drawing. Attention, slide the

rail up to the lips of the base plate. If the soil condition

is not optimum, then place underneath each bottom rail

connecting piece a concrete slab, countersunk to the

bottom level for extra security.

Step 4

Place the ends of the wall adjusters one on top of the

other according to the drawing. If the ends do not fit one

on top of the other, correct then all studs somewhat, until

the wall ends indeed fit one on top of the other. Attention,

the round form should be maintained. Connect the wall

ends using the nuts and bolts which are in the box. Keep

the screw head on the inside of the pool. Remove the

burs from the screws. Place the protective strip using

tape.

Important step! On the inside of the steel wall, construct

a slanting elevation of stabilized sand of approx. 15 cm

high and wide with a mixing ratio of 1m3 fluvial sand

with 125 kg concrete). This is vitally important for the

preservation of the internal lining. It happens that due to

the water pressure the liner underneath the bottom rail is

pressed outwards.

Step 10

Remove the wooden stake and recheck the soil if there is

gravel, glass or other sharp projections. Flatten foot prints

and other unevenness. As a soil cover and extra protection

of your pool lining, it is advisable to cover the soil with a

water resistant sub-liner that you can glue with adhesive

tape to the bottom side of the steel wall. Now place the

internal lining on the cover panel and check it according to

the instructions.

NB: The relief face of the internal lining is the water face.

Step 11

Work in both directions during the folding out of the liner

and have the internal lining hang outside of the upper

edge approximately 60 cm. The centre of the lining

should hang approximately 40 cm above the bottom.

The bottom welding seam of the liner should be located

approximately 30 cm from the top (please refer to the

drawing).

screws connect the guard panel to the end caps;

screw the self tapping screws into the correct holes.

Mark with a marker the holes as indicated in the draw-

ing of Figure A.

ASSEMBLY OF THE GUARDS

Step 8

Assemble the guards alongside the pool edge (guard

panels). Hook de guard starting from the outside of the

Step 14

Fill the pool up to approximately 50 cm below the cover

panel. Make sure that during the filling the liner does not

fall back into the pool. Water between the liner and the

steel wall can cause damage to the earth cove (please

refer to Step 9). First complete Steps 15, 16 and 17

before you continue filling.

Step 15

With the aid of 2 or 3 people loosen the liner from 3

segments. Be careful and do not let the liner fall into the

water. While 1 man holds the liner, the other one dis-

assembles from 3 segments the guards from the guard

panels and end caps (please refer to the drawing).

Step 12

Before filling up the pool, place binder clips between the

studs. These binder clips are available from the builder’s

merchant. Make sure that a piece of cardboard is placed

between the binder clip and the internal lining; this is to

protect the internal lining. The water pressure ensures in

principle that your pool liner is placed smooth and tight.

Check each time during filling that locally no excessive

tension takes place on the liner. The binder clips do not

unclamp themselves; that is why during too high tension

they should be gradually adjusted and refastened. Please

note that a minimum tension is needed to make your

bottom smooth. If the water covers the bottom ± 5 cm,

no creases or wrinkles should be located on the bottom;

should this be the case despite everything, then pull

locally the top of the liner a bit, so that due to the water

pressure the crease disappears. Keep the liner at a mini-

mum tension until the bottom has been filled with approx.

15 cm water and the liner is flush against the steel wall.

Step 13

CONTINUE FILLING THE POOL

After the pool is filled up, the bottom welding seam of

the liner has to be located as a whole in the vicinity of

the junction of the bottom wall. You do not have to worry

about the strength of the liner; the strength is calculated

at 1.5 x the original size. If the bottom seam is not sit-

uated in the correct location, it is possible that you will

not have sufficient liner to overhang outside the bottom

edge, so that you then have to start over rearranging the

liner.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CENTURY - ROUND - PAGE 7

Step 16

Fold the overhanging part of the liner towards the outside

of the steel wall and pull the whole liner tight (please refer

to the drawing). Place the plastic profile strip all the way

across the liner and op top of that the stabilizer rails, after

you have slid those into each other ± 15 cm; then assem-

ble all parts again which you had disassembled in Step

15 and repeat this process each time for 3 segments until

you have completed the whole pool (please also refer to

Figure A in Page 5).

Step 17

Now assemble the skimmer, inlet and filter as indicated

on the instruction specifically included for that. Then

continue filling the pool up to the indicated level on the

skimmer plate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BUILDING A POOL IN THE

GROUND

To avoid that material rolls onto the site where the pool

is to be constructed, the location where the pool is to

be constructed must be in the most elevated part of the

garden. The surrounding landscape should be lower

than the pool. Attention, the water level of the pool

should also be above the groundwater level during the

winter (water level 15 cm below the inlet).

The specific installation such as seen in Figure 2 serves

only as a reference and is not representative for all pool

installations. The parts which may need special materi-

als are the lighting and chloride installations.

EXCAVATING

1. The circumference of the excavation is the same as

the size of the pool plus 60 cm around the whole

pool. Determine the size of the excavation pertaining

to the size of the pool and use for this the exten-

sive installation instruction delivered with the pool.

(Attention, the soil should be at least 15 cm white

sand or stabilized sand; on top of that we recommend

a layer of styrodur or a protective blanket.)

2. The depth of the excavation is dependent on the

height of the pool and desired terrace. Use the size

such as seen in Figure 1 to calculate how deep the

excavation should be.

3. After the pool is excavated, the frame and the wall

should be installed according to the installation ins-

truction delivered with the pool.

INSTALLATION OF SKIMMER AND INLET

The skimmer and the inlet have to be installed before

the pool is filled with water and before the pool is filled

up with stabilized sand. During the installation of the

internal lining and the skimmer, the lead through for the

skimmer may not be created yet. Install the inlet and

gasket. Remove the internal lining from the inlet opening

and install the valve delivered with the skimmer.

PLUMBER’S WORK

In order to prevent that the hoses move up and down,

you should connect the skimmer and the inlet with rigid

PVC to the filter (Figure 2). If you are using flexpipe, you

need to make sure that this pipe is not bent, before you

fill up the rest of the pool. Install the pump as closely as

possible to the pool in connection with the drawing in of

the pump. If this pump is a Doughboy Pool Powerpack,

then you should place it below the water level.

FILLING THE POOL

First fill the pool with water up to approximately 5 cm

away from the top edge. This procedure is absolutely

necessary to absorb the pressure performed on the wall

during the application of stabilized sand. Ff the pool

is not filled completely with water, this can cause pool

failure.

SHUTTERING

We recommend that you apply a shuttering around the

skimmer before the pool is filled up.A space around the

skimmer and any other accessories offer you the possi-

bility to have easy access for maintenance or repairs.

ATTENTION: If the filling up takes place immediately

around the skimmer, it shall be more difficult in the futu-

re to check the skimmer during leaks.

Doughboy is in no way liable for the expenses pertaining

to the finding and/or repairing of leaks, cutting, breaking

off and/or removing of stabilizing sand.

PREPARATION OF STABILIZER SAND

Mixing ratio 1 m3fluvial sand with 125 kg concrete.

IMPORTANT WARNING:

Regardless the method used for the way the stabilized

sand is applied, you should pay close attention to the

wall of the pool during filling to be sure that the wall

does not collapse. If a dent occurs in the pool wall,

someone should enter the pool to push it back.

If this is not possible, you should lower the pressure to

the pool wall by removing the mixture

used to fill up the pool locally again so

that the dent can be removed. Then

carefully fill up the pool again. You

should at all times pay attention to the

pool wall until the pool is completely

filled up. To prevent rust on the pool

wall, the water streaming out of the pool

should immediately be removed from the

pool wall. For this you should let the top

layer run off at least 2 cm such as can

be seen from the illustration. After the

mixture has been applied completely,

you should lower the water level to the

top line of the skimmer opening and cut

away the liner in the skimmer opening.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

Piling up of loose material between the mixture and the

poor wall may push in the wall. If extra material is placed

between the mixture and the cover material to get this at

the correct height, you should only use a sturdy mortar.
