WOOD, A NATURAL MATERIAL.

>> COLOUR

VARIATIONS

Colour variations are common to every species of wood. Treatment brings them our because the depth of penetration of the product will depend on the wood density and grain. Weathering of wood outdoors will signiﬁcantly attenuate these colour variations.

Being a natural material, wood will have some imperfections. These are normal and have no impact on the service life of the product. Some types are superﬁcial and do not fall within the scope of the guarantee.

>> RESIN BEADS

When resinous wood species are autoclaved, the alternating pressure and vacuum can cause sticky resin residues to rise to the surface. To remove them, scrape them carefully with an appropriate tool, being careful not to touch the wood. Turpentine spirits could also be effective, but could stain the wood if too much is applied.

>> SALT STAINS

Small green stains are frequently found on the surface of autoclaved wood. These can be removed with light sanding. Otherwise, this colour will fade over time.

>> GREYING

Wood exposed to sunlight is susceptible to greying. Some people like the silvery sheen of this natural patina. If, however, you would prefer the wood to keep its original colour and brown tones, apply a protective coating (lazure, oil) when the product is assembled.

>> SPLITTING AND

CRACKING

Wood expands and contracts when exposed to variations in humidity and temperature. As it dries, wood contracts unevenly resulting in the appearance of cracks. While these can seem to be cause for concern, they have no impact on the mechanical properties of the product and therefore do not fall within the scope of the guarantee.

>> SURFACE MOULD

Mould, caused by microscopic fungi, can grow on wood, particularly on resinous species, on which the growth can appear as “blueing”. It is a surface phenomenon, exacerbated by heat, humidity and inadequate aeration and is characterised by stains raging from light to dark blue. They can be removed by wiping the surface. Remember that class IV treated wood is protected against attack by fungi that could destroy the physical and mechanical properties of the wood. For further information, please refer to Procopi’s guarantees concerning the types of wood and their treatment.

>> KNOTS

Knots mark the places where branches were attached. The quantity and size depend on the species of wood and the sorting process. For outdoor installations, small adherent knots are acceptable. The more stringent the sorting process to limit the number and size of knots, the more expensive the wood will be.

>> JOINED WOOD

To ensure the highest quality in the selection of our wood, it is sorted meticulously before planing. Planks that feature defects on both sides are taken out. Defects (knots, cracks, ﬂashes) are removed and the planks are joined together (see the image above). This is why it is not unusual to ﬁnd joined elements in a wooden pool, it in no way penalises the mechanical properties of the wood. For the same reason, imperfections on the interior surface of the pool (knots, cracks, ﬂashes) are entirely acceptable.

CAUTION

Storage. If you do not intend to assemble your pool immediately, you should store it without opening it in a well-

ventilated room, or failing this, in an area protected from humidity and sunlight. If, however, you were obliged to unpack your pool, redo and restrap the pallet. Once the pallets are undone, the kit must be assembled within 24 to 48 hours.

>> FOREWORD

Congratulations on acquiring your pool. We have taken great care with the design and manufacture of your pool to provide you with a top quality product. The wood used to make the various elements (interlocking walls, coping, ladder, etc.) was carefully selected. Outdoors, these wooden elements are subject to constant weathering: contact with the ground, temperature variations, exposure to sunlight, rain and frost, insect attack, etc. The wood’s ability to withstand this aggression depends on the origin of the wood and the method used to treat it. For this reason, we choose pine from extensive, sustainably managed forests in northern Europe. Why do we insist on this? Because the more rigorous climates above the 57th parallel favour very slow tree growth, making the wood stronger and more resilient.

The wood is autoclaved, this involves subjecting the wood alternately to pressure and vacuum in order to drive the treatment chemicals into the heart of the wood as opposed to other more superﬁcial treatment techniques such as soaking. Class IV treated wood in contact with the ground is immune to insect attack and rotting caused by humidity. Autoclave treatment is guaranteed 10 years, in accordance with standards currently in effect.

The pool coping is made of grooved planks of treated pine.

Wood is a living material, variations in temperature and humidity can cause it to expand or contract so take care to follow the storage and assembly instructions concerning the wooden structure. Similarly, prolonged exposure to UV light can cause wood to grey. These are natural phenomena that in no way effect the service life of the products.

Do not apply any product to the wood (for example, lazure, micro porous products).

>> STORAGE & TIME REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY

We shall now explain how to assemble your pool, but ﬁrst some instructions before you begin. Please read these instructions carefully, this will allow you to prepare each stage to achieve optimum efﬁciency. Please keep these instructions for future reference. You should take the time to go through the components using the nomenclature page that you will ﬁnd in the accessories kit and make sure that no items are missing.

Keep the following documents;

- the production sheets for the various kits

- proofs of purchase

STORAGE

If you do not intend to assemble your pool immediately, you should store it without opening it, in a well ventilated room, or failing this, in an area protected from humidity and sunlight. Once the pallets are undone, the kit must be assembled within 24 hours. Once work has begun, try to avoid leaving the structure exposed to signiﬁcant climatic variations that could cause the wood to “work” too quickly. This could lead to deformations that could render the item unusable. By preference, the wooden structure should be assembled in one go on a day that is not too hot. The liner should be stored at a minimum of 20°C for at least 24 hours before it is ﬁtted. This is to render the liner more supple and thus facilitate ﬁtting. The liner should only be ﬁtted if the ambient temperature is higher than 20 °C.

TOOLING AND TIME REQUIRED TO MOUNT AN OCTO POOL

- To prepare the ground: shovel, rake, pick axe, cord, aluminium ruler and a spirit level.

- To assemble the structure: spirit level, screw gun, mallet, measuring tape, Stanley knife, metal saw, ﬂat head and cross head screw drivers, sanding paper and a ﬁne grain ﬁle.

- The time taken for assembly is 2 days for 2 people (does not include excavation, pouring the slab or ﬁlling of the pool).

Keep on hand: sand and cement for tamping the soil

TOOLING AND TIME REQUIRED TO MOUT AN OCTO+ POOL

>> SITING & PREPARATION OF THE GROUND FOR OCTO,

OCTO + AND HEXA POOLS

This is the most important step in the procedure as the pool site will determine the service life of your pool. There are some rules that must be respected. Given the vast variation possible (slope, type and homogeneity of the ground, possible issues with drainage, etc) we cannot provide recommendations for every possible permutation here. Some optional steps, such as pouring a concrete slab, laying foundations, footing, laying drains, etc will require assistance from professionals who will be able to advise you on solutions best suited to your conﬁguration. We will explain how to prepare the ground without any concrete, the objective being to achieve a ﬂat, level bearing surface. In as far as possible, avoid siting your pool under trees (to stop you pool from being ﬁlled with leaves) or near rises or dips in the ground that could expose children to danger. Do not assemble your pool under electrical cables. The pool should be at least 3.50m from any electrical source (French safety standard C15-100). On a slope, never back ﬁll under your pool to bring the bearing surface level, always cut into the upward slope. Lastly, avoid preparing the ground and assembling the pool while a strong wind is blowing.

How should the pool be oriented? Ideally, the pool should be oriented so that the skimmers are facing into the prevailing wind. This will determine the ﬁnal orientation of your pool and the manner in which it will lie in your garden, notably in the case of elongated pools.

Stable surface: That is to say, properly consolidated soil that has not been subject to recent backﬁll. Even after 15 years, backﬁlled soil may not be completely stabilised.

To begin, clear the ground of plants and other miscellaneous objects. Next, level and smooth the surface using a spade, rake and a pickaxe (if necessary). Make sure that you smooth out any bumps or rough areas that could damage the underlay, or more seriously, the liner. After a rough preparation of the surface, plant a stake in the centre of the circle and mark the point where it comes into contact with the ground. Next, using a ﬂat, straight piece of wood longer than the radius of your pool, go around the circle checking that the ground is level. This operation requires two people (one to make sure that the bottom of the wood corresponds to the mark on the stake, and the other to check the level and move the wood around the entire circumference to ensure that the surface is perfectly level).

Trace out site of the pool and clear the ground of plants, grass and other miscellaneous objects. Next, level and smooth the surface using a spade, rake and a pickaxe (if necessary). Make sure that you smooth out any bumps or rough areas that could damage the underlay, or more seriously, the waterprooﬁng membrane. Make sure that the bearing surface is completely ﬂat and perfectly level. Once the ground has been prepared, use string to mark out the longitudinal axis (A1) of your pool and then the transversal axis (A2) perpendicular to the axis A1.

>> MOUNTING THE LINER LOCKING TRACK

IMPORTANT !

Check that the structure is correctly assembled before mounting the liner locking track.

To do this:

- use a spirit level to check that the structure is horizontal around the entire periphery.

- check that the 4 diagonals are equal in length.

Fix any imperfections before continuing. The liner locking track should be ﬂush with the top of the wooden structure. Before mounting the liner locking track, pre-drill using a Ø 3mm drill bit. Avoid over tightening, this could cause the screws to break through the track.

» INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS / OCTO / OCTO + / HEXA

Each side of the pool is ﬁtted with one track 1.18 m long and another track trimmed to ﬁt, see the table below. Trim 8 tracks according to the table below. Before making the cuts, check that the total length of the track is equal to the length of the wall less 10 cm. Use a mitre box to ensure that the cuts are clean and straight. Deburr the cuts using the ﬁne grain ﬁle.

To hold the track in position, drive in a screw 2 cm from each end. Next ﬁnish attaching the track by driving in screws at 20 cm intervals. Use Ø4 x 35 screws (bag D).

>> FITTING THE FELT UNDERLAY

18 19

FITTING THE UNDERLAY: Important !

Because of the pressure exerted by the water, even the smallest bump will be visible underneath the liner. After clearing the ground, spread a layer of sand mixed with cement (1 part cement to 7 parts sand) over the ﬂoor of the pool and compact it. This layer should be no more than 1 cm deep. (The sand and cement are not supplied). Unfold the underlay in the pool taking care to line it up correctly with the corners. Smooth out any wrinkles. The underlay will be slightly smaller than the pool structure.

The ground underneath the underlay should be absolutely ﬂat and free of any bumps or rough areas.

» INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS / OCTO / OCTO + / HEXA

>> ASSEMBLY OF THE OCTO + POOL STRUCTURE

The pool structure is mounted in two stages:

- Stage 1, excavation of the site and installation of the cradles designed to reinforce the lateral walls. A cradle comprises

a cross beam, vertical posts and metallic plates to be bolted together.

-Stage 2, assembly of the wooden structure and ﬁtting of the additional items (liner, coping, etc.).

We recommend that the pool structure be assembled by two people. Before you begin, familiarise yourself with the nomenclature page (enclosed with the Accessories kit) and the main exploded view (at the end of this document) that corresponds to your pool.

>> POOL FITTING GASKETS

41 42 43

Before ﬁtting the liner, glue one of the 2 rectangular self-adhesive gaskets (pool ﬁtting skin pack) around the mouth of the skimmer or ﬁltration unit.

Make sure that the holes in the gasket are correctly aligned with the holes in the skimmer or ﬁltration unit.

From the pool side, insert return ﬁtting throughwall ﬂange (pool ﬁtting pack) into the opening in the machined slats. Fix it in position using countersunk self-tapping 3x25 screws. Fit a self-adhesive gasket to each throughwall ﬂange. Screw carefully by hand to avoid damaging the wood.

>> FITTING & CUTTING OUT THE LINER

IMPORTANT! The ideal temperature for laying liner is between 18° and 25°C. Outside this range, the liner will be either two rigid or too pliant and will be difﬁcult to ﬁt. On very hot days, lay the liner early in the morning. During cold weather (less than 18°C), store the liner somewhere warm for as long as possible to increase it’s suppleness and do not take it out

until the last minute.

Place the liner in the centre of the pool and unfold it. When it is unfolded, the liner will form either an octagon, an elongated octagon or a hexagon on the ground, depending on the pool model. Line the corners up with the corners of the pool structure. Working in bare feet from inside the pool, ﬁt the liner lip into the liner locking track, continue around the pool.

CAUTION: The vertical seam than joins the band that covers the walls should not be on the wall that holds the skimmer. If this is the case, turn the liner.

While ﬁtting the liner, insert wooden half pegs (provided) in the liner locking track to hold it in position in the corners and at regular intervals around the periphery. This will help position the liner and stop it from slipping in the track. Keep the pegs in position until the pool has been ﬁlled with water. Make sure that the bottom corners of the liner correspond to the corners of the pool structure. You will note that the liner is slightly smaller than the structure, this is normal and necessary to ensure correct tension on the liner after the pool has been ﬁlled with water. Reductions are approx 1% around the periphery and 5% along the height. Make sure that the liner is spread out over the entire surface of the pool. Leave the liner as is until the warmth of the sun eases out the creases caused by folding (this will take a few hours).

CAUTION: In the event that you need to move the liner, do not slide it in the track. Take it out of the track by pulling upwards on the lip and reposition it. Sliding the liner in the track can cause it to tear just below the lip (this type of damage will not be covered by any guarantee).

>> FITTING THE LINER (contd.)

Once the liner has been hung and is correctly positioned, ﬁll the pool with 2 cm of water. Push any creases towards the walls smoothing out the liner as much as possible. Take care to ensure that the ﬂoor is as smooth as possible.

This operation will not be possible if the pool is empty or overﬁlled (contains more than 2 cm of water).

Once the liner is correctly hung and positioned and creases have been eliminated, continue ﬁlling the pool until the water level is 10 cm below the ﬁrst pool ﬁtting (underwater light or return ﬁtting depending on their position).

Stick the self-adhesive gaskets to the return ﬁtting and vacuum ﬁtting ﬂanges.

Screw the ﬂange (ﬁtted with its gasket) into place using the countersunk SS screws M5x16 from the pool ﬁtting skin pack. Tighten the screws alternately to ensure a leaktight ﬁt. Hand tighten, over tightening could damage the ﬂange.

Locate the holes in the throughwall ﬂange and mark them.

Cut out the liner inside the vacuum ﬁtting and return ﬁtting ﬂanges.

» INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS / OCTO / OCTO + / HEXA

Glue the second skimmer gasket to the interior surface of the skimmer ﬂange. (The interior surface has sharp edges while the exterior surface has rounded edge).

Locate the 4 corner holes of the skimmer mouth and mark them with a pen. Position the ﬂange such that its corner holes are aligned with the points marked in pen. Use a small screw driver or punch to pierce the liner at the 4 points marked and ﬁx the ﬂange in position with the gasket against the liner. Once the 4 corner screws are in place, continue, inserting a screw through each hole. Avoid over

tightening, this could deform the ﬂange. Tighten the screws alternately to ensure an even and leaktight ﬁt.

Cut away the liner inside the ﬂange. Keep the offcuts for future repairs. Clip the weir into place, smooth surface facing the pool. The weir should be able to swing freely. Mount the skimmer face plate. The skimmer basket is passed through the skimmer mouth, swing the weir towards the pool to make space. Place the lid on the skimmer.

(these parts can be found in the Pool Fitting skin pack)

In the case of a ﬁltration unit, refer to the installation instructions enclosed with it.

Screw the multi- directional eyeball assembly into the return ﬁtting body. The eyeball should be pointed left to facilitate the ﬂow of water necessary for efﬁcient ﬁltration. (Prior to assembly, apply a layer of silicon grease to the eyeball and its housing to facilitate its movement and subsequent removal).

>> ASSEMBLING AND COMMISSIONING THE FILTER GROUP

Before you continue to ﬁll the pool, assemble the ﬁltration group. Refer to the sand ﬁlter installation instructions below and the pump operating instructions. Study the ﬁltration system diagram and the table below that lists the main components and the composition of the various packs.

CAUTION ! ! ! The pump power supply absolutely must be protected by a 30 mA RCD mounted upstream from the installation.

Similarly, follow all the installation instructions set out in the manuals enclosed with the underwater light and the electrical panel.

The ﬁltration system, like every other electrical device, must be wired in accordance with the standards in effect in the country of installation (C15-100 in France).

Do not hesitate to call on the services of a professional to ensure that your installation complies with all regulation in effect.

We strongly recommend that you install the ﬁlter below the water level. If the ﬁlter is installed above the water line, there is a risk of deformation due to depressurisation. The maximum acceptable height is level with the coping. In the event that the ﬁlter is installed above the water line, a check vent must be mounted on the return line and an inspection check valve must be mounted on the suction line (these items are available from any pool specialist).

Connect the rigid descending pipes to the ﬁltration group as shown above. The roll of tubing provided in the Filtration kit is sized for a standard installation, that is to say, with the ﬁlter group located 3.5 m from the pool (minimum distance between the pump and the pool according to the French electrical safety standard C15-100 if the ﬁltration group is not

installed in a locked plant room).

TIP:

You may use silicon grease or soapy water to help ﬁt the pipes together.

>> FILLING AND CHARGING THE CIRCUIT WITH WATER

FILLING THE POOL

Check that all the valves are closed and continue to ﬁll the pool until the water level is 2/3 of the way up the mouth of the skimmer. This is the optimum level for correct ﬁlter operation.

While ﬁlling, check the various ﬁttings for leaks. Make sure that the liner is properly engaged in the liner locking track around the entire periphery of the pool, particularly in the corners. If the liner has come away it will usually be necessary to empty the pool in order to reattach it.

CHARGING THE CIRCUIT WITH WATER

Open the various valves to ﬁll the circuit with water. Check the various connection points for leaks. Make sure that the pump is ﬁlled with water before starting it up. The pump should under no circumstances be allowed to

run dry. Make sure that the pre-ﬁlter is ﬁlled with water. If necessary, open the pump and ﬁll it and the skimmer line with water to facilitate priming.

Turn the 6-way valve to Backwash (to carry out a ﬁlter backwash before putting the ﬁlter into service). Start the pump and check again for leaks.

proswell.fr

» INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS / OCTO / OCTO + / HEXA

>> COMMISSIONING & OPERATING THE FILTER SYSTEM

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING: Carry out a back wash and rinse before using the ﬁlter for the ﬁrst time to clean the ﬁlter and remove any excess sand and debris (see the paragraph Filter and Valve operation). After the backwash, rinse before turning the valve to the Filtration position. After the backwash, with the multi-port valve set to Filtration, the black needle on the pressure gauge indicates the nominal pressure experienced by the ﬁlter. This pressure will vary as a function of the pump ﬂow rate, the static pressure and load losses across the pipes. To keep a record of this nominal pressure (calibration), adjust the dial of the pressure gauge so that the blue needle aligns with the black needle.

NB: Stop the pump before each manipulation of the 6-way valve. Failure to respect this instruction will result in damage to the ﬁlter, the valve and pump and cancellation of the guarantee.

-FILTER AND VALVE OPERATION:

- FILTRATION: Water arrives from the pump, passes from the top to the bottom of the ﬁlter and is returned to the pool.

- BACKWASH: Water passes through the ﬁlter from the bottom to the top gathering trapped impurities and carrying them directly to waste. Backwash should be carried out as soon as the needle in the pressure gauge enters the red.

- RINSE: Water passes through the ﬁlter from top to bottom before being directed to waste (allow approx 30 sec for this process.).

- CIRCULATION : Water circulates without passing through the ﬁlter.

- DRAIN: Water passes from the pool to waste (ﬂocculation, etc.).

- CLOSED: No water circulation. Never allow the pump to run while the valve is in this position. Similarly, make sure that the position of the various valves will allow circulation of water before turning the pump on.

Filtration: Normal valve position.

Water from the pump crosses the ﬁlter

from top to bottom before returning

to the pool.

Closed: No circulation is possible.

Never allow the pump to run while the

valve is in this position.

Circulation: Water from the pump

returns directly to the pool without

passing through the ﬁlter.

Drain: Water from the pump is

channelled directly to waste without

passing through the ﬁlter.

Backwash: Water from the pump

crosses the ﬁlter from the bottom

to the top and is then channelled to

waste, carrying away impurities that

were trapped in the ﬁlter.

Rinse: Water from the pump crosses

the ﬁlter from top to bottom and is

channelled to waste.

>> COMMISSIONING & OPERATING THE FILTER SYSTEM

LENGTH OF THE FILTRATION CYCLE:

The length of the ﬁltration cycle depends on the theoretical time taken for all the water in the pool to pass through the ﬁlter. For private pools, the max time allowed for all the water to be recycled is 8 hours. We recommend the following as a function of water temperature:

- Below 14°C : 5 to 6 hours per day.

- From 15° to 23 °C : 6 to 8 hours per day.

- Above 23 °C : 10 to 12 hours per day.

The higher the bather load and the pool water temperature, the longer the ﬁltration cycle should be. To optimise ﬁltration efﬁciency, run the ﬁlter during the day (between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm) and, more generally, while the pool is in use (one bather pollutes 3 m³ of water ).

CLEANING THE PREFILTER AND FILTER BACKWASH:

PRE-FILTER

After a certain time, a drop in the ﬂow rate at the return ﬁttings will be noted. This is due to progressive clogging of the ﬁlter or pump preﬁlter.

1 - If the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge falls below the nominal pressure indicated by the blue needle, clean the pump pre-ﬁlter.

- Stop the pump.

- Turn the 6-way valve to CLOSED.

- Close the suction and return valves.

- Open the pump pre-ﬁlter.

- Remove the basket.

- Use a water jet to remove any impurities.

- Put the pre-ﬁlter basket back.

- Put the pre-ﬁlter lid back on making sure that the seal is correctly positioned and that there is enough water to prime the pump.

- Put the 6-way valve to FILTRATION.

- Open the suction and return valves.

- Switch the pump on.

- Vent the ﬁlter (this should be done each time the pre-ﬁlter is cleaned and at least once a week).

FILTER

2 - If the pressure indicated by the pressure gauge rise above the nominal pressure, carry out a ﬁlter back wash.

- Stop the pump.

- Check the pre-ﬁlter and clean it out if necessary (as indicated above).

- Before proceeding with a ﬁlter back wash or draining the pool, make sure that the waste pipe (not provided) has been attached to the waste outlet.

- Put the 6-way multi port valve to “Backwash”

- Switch the pump on.

- observe the colour of the water in the sight glass.

Caution! It will take a few seconds for cleaning to commence and the water to become cloudy.

- As soon as the water runs clear, stop the pump.

- Turn the 6-way valve to “Rinse”

- Run the pump for 20 to 30 seconds, this will evacuate any impurities remaining in the valve and stabilise the sand.

- Stop the pump.

- Turn the 6-way valve to “Filtration”.

- Turn the pump back on.

After a back wash, the pressure needle should align with the nominal pressure indicator.

Position the ladder in the pool on the coping module of your choice (except the wall holding the skimmer and counter swim module), remember that it should be opposite the wooden ladder. Adjust the position of the ladder paying particular attention to ensure that it is vertical and that the bumpers are pressed ﬁrmly against the inside wall.

Mark the positions for drilling. Remove the ladder and drill. Fix the ladder in place according to the instructions provided using SS screws from bag B. Slide the 2 rubber seals along the tubes so that they hold the escutcheon plates in position.

>> ASSEMBLING AND POSITIONING THE WOODEN LADDER

The stringers and the treads for the wooden steps are in the Wood kit. Assemble the wooden steps using the SS screws (bag K). For cleaner, more efﬁcient assembly, we recommend that you pre-drill the various elements (4 mm drill bit) and mill the holes to avoid splitting the wood and raising splinters. Make sure that all elements are oriented correctly.

ASSEMBLING AND POSITIONING THE WOODEN LADDER (contd)

The wooden ladder is ﬁtted with two lever latches that lock it into position. The lever sections are ﬁtted to the ladder supports and the hooks are mounted under the coping (these parts are enclosed in bag K). Observe how these 2 parts interact together to understand how the mechanism works and establish the travel necessary for the ladder to be locked correctly into position. Position the assembled ladder under the coping. Insert the blocking parts between the wooden supports and the coping. These should be positioned in line with the lever latches. Trace the position of the various elements. Remove the ladder, screw the blocking parts into position and attach the lever elements to the ladder supports. Put the ladder in place and lock it in position. The locking mechanism might differ from that illustrated here, but will function according to the same principal.

>> MAINTENANCE AND USE

Wood is a living material that responds to changes in temperature and humidity; cracks and splits may appear; this is natural and in no way impacts the service life of our products. The wooden components of this pool are subjected to a Class IV autoclave treatment that complies with standards in effect, they present no danger to people or animals that may come into direct contact with the wood.

Do not apply any product to the wood (for example: lazure, micro-porous products, etc.)

Over time, the wood will inevitably get dirty. Clean it once a year with a high pressure jet to remove dirt trapped in the pores of the wood. Take care to regulate the water pressure to avoid damaging the ﬁnish or raising wood ﬁbres.

This pool is delivered as a kit and is not designed to be dismantled. This pool is designed to be used by persons 3 years of age and older. It is understood that young children and non-swimmers using the pool will wear ﬂotation devices. safety recommendations on page 32.

Use of a pool kit implies adherence to safety recommendations outlined in the maintenance and operating instructions.

Octo 414, +450 and hexa 410, maximum 4 people allowed in the pool at any one time. Octo 505 models, maximum 5 people allowed in the pool at any one time. Octo+ 540, +640 and +510 models, maximum 6 people allowed in the pool at any one time.

Ladders should only be used to enter and exit the pool. Any other use is prohibited and could be dangerous. The wooden access ladder should be taken away and stored systematically after the last person leaves the pool. This is to prevent

the risk of drowning. We have designed a fast efﬁcient locking system, use it!! Store the ladder in a dry place during the winter. There should be no means of access to the pool while it is not in use. The ladder wood should be treated in the same way as the other wooden elements.

We recommend that you secure access to the ﬁnished pool with one of the measures set out in the French pool safety standard NF P 90-306, 307, 308 & 309 that is: Safety barrier - Alarm - Safety cover - Shelter.

For your safety and that of your children, we recommend that you read and apply the

Inspect the accessible nuts and bolts regularly and carry out any maintenance required (re-tighten, treat traces of rust, etc.). Take care with the liner of your pool, do not treat it roughly. Make sure that correct tension is maintained on the liner, failure to do so could result in tears and leaks. See the guarantee conditions at the end of these instructions. During the life of your pool it may be necessary to empty it totally. In this event, take every precaution necessary to avoid accidents and danger (falls, etc. ) structure.

REMINDER: No diving - No walking on the coping - Never leave an empty pool uncovered

WATER TREATMENT & MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTRATION SYSTEM

To ensure the comfort of pool users, you will need to treat the pool water. Follow the recommendations concerning operation of the ﬁltration group: commissioning, frequency of use for regeneration of the water, maintenance, inspections (pipes, nuts and bolts), etc. Monitor the build up of dirt in the sand ﬁlter (see the section on ﬁlter back washing). During the pool season, the ﬁlter should be run every day for long enough to renew the entire pool water volume at least three times every 24 hours. To ensure optimal efﬁciency of the ﬁltration system, make sure that the water level remains correct and constant. The water level should be 2/3 of the way up the skimmer mouth. To ﬁll your pool, use tap water, its pH is close to the ideal pH. If you use water from a well or some other private source you must have it analysed beforehand. You will need to test the pH of your pool at regular intervals and adjust it if necessary to keep it between 7.2 and 7.6. Treatment chemicals for this purpose are widely available. To preserve the quality of the pool water, it will need to be tested and treated regularly. Frequency will depend on a number of conditions; pool situation, bather load, weather conditions, etc. As pool water cannot be directed into the sewage system, it must be directed as rain run-off. Familiarise yourself with the regulations concerning disposal of pool waste water in effect in the area in which the pool is located

Failure to abide by maintenance instructions may entail serious risks to health and safety, notably of children.

. Avoid leaving the pool empty for more than 48 hours, this could result in deformation of the

>> MAINTENANCE & USE (contd)

ACCESSORIES

Electrical equipment such as underwater lights that require an electrical supply must be ﬁtted and wired in according to the standards in effect. We recommend that you take great care in this matter and that you call on the services of qualiﬁed specialists.

The pool can be ﬁtted with a bubble cover that is spread over the pool while it is not in use. The action of sunlight on the cover heats the water below and the cover helps maintain the water temperature at night. Upon removing the cover from the pool, turn it over to allow it to dry, then roll it up and store it out of the way. Never fold the bubble cover, this could cause it to tear. Wipe it down from time to time with a damp cloth. This cover should under no circumstances be considered a safety device. A safety winter cover (that complies with the French safety standard NF P90-308) is available as an option to protect the pool. This high quality product is extremely hard-wearing and attractively ﬁnished. For storage and upkeep, follow the same instructions as for the bubble cover.

WINTERIZING THE POOL

Carry out a prolonged back wash of the ﬁlter. The pool should not be emptied during winter (or prolonged periods while the pool is not use). The liquid mass

plays a several roles, providing thermal insulation, holding the liner and pool structure in position. Lower the water level to about 10 cm below the bottom of the skimmer mouth. Water can be siphoned from the pool or allowed to drain by gravity by moving the multiport valve to DRAIN. Water

will run through the waste line. Do not run the pump during this operation. Next, disconnect the pipe underneath the skimmer so that it can act as an overﬂow in the event the water level rises

due to precipitation. Remove any water treatment chemicals from the skimmer (chlorine tablets, ﬂocculents, etc.). Unscrew the return ﬁtting face ring from inside the pool. Use a threaded winterizing plug or rubber plug (not provided) to block the return ﬁtting from inside the pool. Add an algaecide and a winterizing product (not supplied) to the water. Remove the stainless steel ladder. Place a winter cover over the surface of the pool.

NOTE: Winterizing is not mandatory, especially if the weather is clement and temperatures remain positive. In this case, maintain a correct water level in the pool and run ﬁltration 2 to 3 hours per day. Check the water level in the pool regularly.

WINTERIZING THE HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION

Disconnect the return line. Allow water to drain from the suction and return lines. Open the plug at the bottom of the ﬁlter and allow water to drain away. Do not replace the plug before putting the

ﬁlter back into service. Open the drain plugs on the pump and pre-ﬁlter. Leave the plugs open. Cut the power supply to the ﬁltration control panel. In as far as possible, store the ﬁltration group in a location protected from humidity. In the case of an unprotected

outdoor installation, remove the pump and store it.

We think that we have provided you with main information you required to use and maintain your pool, however you

will ﬁnd more information in specialised guides and reviews. Don’t hesitate to consult these.

HYGIENE

As regards hygiene, there are no ofﬁcial regulations for family pools. However, for your health and that of your family

and friends, there are some rules that you should respect! This begins with good personal hygiene. Next, to maintain water purity, respect the instructions set out in the section “maintenance and operation”. Pay

particular attention to treatment cycles, water testing, ﬁltration and cleaning. The balance of your pool water

depends mainly on you. Do not hesitate to inform yourself and follow the advice of the professionals.

>> SAFETY

DO NOT PLAY WITH SAFETY ! ! !

In this fun environment you need to watch your children! You alone are responsible for their safety ! Children should be closely supervised at all times. The risk is at its greatest when children are less than 5 years old.

w Accidents don’t just happen to others. Be ready to act !! w Never leave a child alone close to the pool.

w Children must be closely supervised at all times. w Children who don’t know how to swim, or children not supervised by adults, should wear a ﬂotation device

(vest or arm bands). Without these precautions, access to the pool should be strictly denied.

w The access ladder must be removed while the pool is not in use irrespective of the length of time for which

the pool will not be used.

w Designate one person responsible for watching non-swimmers and children. w Be particularly attentive when there are several people in the pool. w Keep a pole and/or life ring close to the pool in case of necessity. w Teach young children how to swim as early as possible! w Before getting into the pool, wet the back of the neck, legs and arms to prevent irreversible thermal shock!

This warning also applies to older pool users who frequently disregard this safety tip.

w Jumping or diving should be prohibited. The same applies to violent games. w Do not stand or walk on the coping! No diving. w Be careful not to leave toys in or around an unwatched pool, these could attract children... w Keep the water clean and sanitary during the pool season. w Water treatment chemicals should be kept out of reach of children; store them in a safe, inaccessible

place. Never leave cleaning accessories near the pool.

w Some equipment can contribute to pool safety:

- safety barrier, with a gate that is always kept closed (for example, a hedge could not be considered a safety barrier).

- a manual or automatic safety cover correctly installed and ﬁxed in position.

- a functional alarm to detect proximity to the pool or falls into the water.

Safety equipment will under no circumstances replace close surveillance.

w Outside the pool season, the pool should be covered with a winter cover correctly positioned and

attached. This serves an additional function in that it renders the pool less attractive.

w Make sure that there is a telephone (land line or mobile) within easy reach of the pool to avoid leaving

children alone in the event of a problem.

w Learn ﬁrst aid, especially those techniques applicable to children, to provide assistance in the case of an

accident.

w Take steps to prevent access to the pool if the ﬁltration system is damaged and during maintenance

- folds that appear after the liner has been ﬁtted, these can be caused by sliding of the membrane on loose soil or an uneven surface, or physico-chemical properties of the pool water that are outside the acceptable ranges: water temperature should be less than 28°C, pH should be between 7.2 and 7.6 and the concentration of the sterilising agent should be within the range recommended by the manufacturer of the water treatment products.

- Folds that remain despite following all the instructions regarding ﬁtting of the liner should be reported immediately to your Procopi agent.

The appearance of yellow stains or discolouration along the water line. These may be the result of deposition of organic compounds ﬂoating on the water surface (sun creams and oils, residue of

hydrocarbon combustion or smoke from wood ﬁres). To prevent this from happening, clean the water line regularly using products designed for this purpose. (not supplied) and a non-abrasive sponge.

Very hard water can also be the cause of this type discolouration due to the build up of calcium deposits on the membrane. Hard water (TH greater than 250 ppm) should be treated with a product to eliminate calcium and suitable for use in pools (not supplied).

- Stains caused by the growth of algae and micro-organisms: the pool water should be treated regularly with an appropriate dose of algaecide.

- Stains, discolouration and wrinkles caused by direct contact with oxidizing agents (thrown directly into the pool) or pockets of excessively high concentrations of oxidising agents (frequently associated with failure to run ﬁltration while the oxidising agents are dissolving).

- Stains caused by stagnation and/or decomposition of a foreign body in direct contact with the liner (dead leaves, oxidizable metallic objects, miscellaneous detritus, etc.)

- Damage caused by direct contact with incompatible materials such as bitumen, tar, oils, polystyrene panels, polyurethane. Never

apply adhesive tape or glue to the membrane.

- Tears that occur while ﬁtting the liner caused by shifting the liner without releasing it from the liner locking track ﬁrst.
