OWNERS MUST PERSONALLY APPEAR AT THE BUILDING DIVISION TO SIGN THIS DOCUMENT FSS 489.103 Disclosure Statement State Law requires construction to be done by licensed contractors. You have applied for a permit under an exemption to that law. The exemption allows you, as the owner of your property, to act as your own contractor with certain restrictions even though you do not have a license. You must provide direct, onsite supervision of the construction yourself. You may build or improve a one -family or two-family residence or a farm outbuilding. You may also build or improve a commercial building, provided your costs do not exceed $75,000. The building or residence must be for your own use or occupancy. It may not be built or substantially improved for sale or lease. If you sell or lease a building you have built or substantially improved yourself within 1 year after the construction is complete, the law will presume that you built or substantially improved it for sale or lease, which is a violation of this exemption. You may not hire an unlicensed person to act as your contractor or to supervise people working on your building. It is your responsibility to make sure that people employed by you have licenses required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances. You may not delegate the responsibility for supervision work to a licensed contractor who is not licensed to perform the work being done. Any person working on your building who is not licensed must work under your direct supervision and must be employed by you, which means that you must deduct F.I.C.A and withholding tax and provide workers' compensation for that employee, all as prescribed by law. Your construction must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes, and zoning regulations.

DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT -SHALLOW WATER!!! Follow All Safety and Maintenance Instructions Your pool is designed for years of pleasurable, safe family fun. But, when used incorrectly, a swimming pool can be dangerous. To insure your pool is used safely you must observe the following safety precautions: Do not dive! -Do not jump!- No rough play!- No running or pushing! Do not walk on the top rail. It can be slippery and is not a walkway. Be sure to install all safety labels provided with your pool according to the instructions. Keep a safety rope 1/4" by 50' with a flotation buoy with an outside diameter of 15". Have accessible in a prominent area by your pool. Post near all entrances to pool area; a list of telephone numbers of the: Nearest available police Nearest ambulance service Nearest available fire department Nearest available hospital Nearest available rescue unit Nearest available physician 911 emergency number if available Provide fencing or enclosure which is independent of the house as a closure around the entire pool area. The fencing must be made of durable material, a minimum of 4' in height from ground level and with closures with self -latching locks, to make pool inaccessible to toddlers and uninvited guests. Make sure DO NOT AFFIX ANY OTHER PRODUCTS MADE BY OTHERS TO YOUR POOL SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DECKS AND SLIDES! gate is always closed. Be sure to follow local building code requirements for load capacity and fencing if using an aftermarket or homebuilt deck. You must make sure all fence and barriers are in working order so that pool is 'always protected. Check with your local town for any special laws in your locale. Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your judgment and reflexes. Never use pool alone. All children must be supervised continuously. Do not use pool if bottom is not clearly visible: At night, sufficient lighting must be available. It is the pool owners sole responsibility to provide adequate lighting for pool bottom, safety signs and walkways, which exceeds minimum standards of the IES of North America. Do. not climb, stand or sit on any pool structure or the filter system. Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children. Be sure that all toys, chairs and tables or similar objects that a young child could climb on be at least four feet (4') from pool. Do not use pool during electrical or rain storms. See available National Spa and Pool Institute (NSPI), publications for more tips on pool safety. IMPORTANT NOTICE! READ BEFORE INSTALLATION ENCLOSED IN FRAME CARTON IS SAFETY ENVELOPE.

It is essential that the area selected for your pool has a level and firm base. Do not assemble your pool on asphalt, tar or oil base surfaces. Avoid areas with sharp objects, or ground treated with weedkiller or other chemicals. Also avoid areas where nut grass, Bermuda grass or bamboo grass grows, as they can grow through your liner. Grass must be removed. Do not place components such as filters, pumps, and heaters in a way that they can be used as a means of access to pool by young children. Be sure to follow all local building codes and obtain all building permits required for your area.

After all of the sod has been removed, you must make the pool area absolutely level as measured by a level or transit, not simply by the naked eye. Find the Lowest spot within the pool area and level the ground to that lowest spot. Do not add dirt to the low areas as that will cause settling after the pool is filled with water. It is the high areas that must be dug away. The footing perimeter) of the pool must be a solid foundation to prevent the pool from settling into dirt that is loosened by rain and water splashing over the side. Once again, clean the area of all sharp objects, including roots that later effect your swimming pool. For leveling, we recommend that you use a long straight edge board and a carpenters level or transit.

Use your pool parts breakdown sheet to separate all pool components, becoming familiar with each part. B. Take the curved bottom rails and place them in a circle along the circumference of the pool area. IMPORTANT: Make sure you 6 are using the bottom rails and not the inner stabilizer bars. The bottom rails on some pool models are made of resin and not metal. The stabilizer bars are always metal and they have a male end and a female end. The bottom rails are the larger width rails that have the straight cuts on both ends. The bottom rails do not interlock (see diagram.) Inner Stabilizer 5/ Used on the. top o Bottom Rail 1" x 5 the bottom of the I Please note the different bottom tracks. Resin Bottom Track Metal Bottom Track C. Assemble the rails by using the bottom plates or bottom cuffs to join them together. 'IMPORTANT: Some pools have resin bottom plates or resin bottom cuffs rather than the traditional metal bottom plate. Please refer to your pool parts breakdown sheet to confirm which component applies to your pool. Rails should be inserted into the bottom plates or cuffs up to, but not exceeding, the stops on the plate or cuff. Rail can be squeezed between thumb and forefinger to facilitate insertion into the plates or cuffs. Adjust rails in or out as necessary to form a true circle. The bottom rail is inserted up to the dimple only. Please note the different bottom tracks. Resin Bottom Track Metal Bottom Track The bottom rail is inserted up to the dimple only. STEP 5: PRE -ASSEMBLY This is a good time to start the pre -assembly of the uprights. It is easiest to line all uprights next to each other in a line. It helps to lean them against a fence or some other sturdy object. On most models the top of the uprights can be identified by either an extra hole in the middle, or by an extra hole on each side'(depending on which pool you have) for the decorator caps. Place the metal top plate on the upright making sure the holes line up and the hooked part of the plate is facing the open end of the upright (the side that goes against the pool wall). Now put a #10 x'Y2" screw in the center hole only. Do not install screws in the two side holes until later. This will make things easier and more efficient later down the line. Now would be the time to install the fence post holders onto the uprights, if you have purchased a fence to go around your pool (see separate instructions). If not, or when that is completed, you should line the uprights around the pool at every bottom plate or bottom cuff for your convenience later on. Top Plate Put front scr plate in loos( STEP 6: WALL INSTALLATION This is one example of a top plate. The plate for your pool may look a little different. In this step, you will use the wall carton as a base to unravel the pool wall. Locate the area that you wish to put the skimmer and return so that you can start the wall behind the appropriate upright. Unravel the wall a little at a time, inserting into the bottom rails as you go. Do not unravel the -entire wall at once, for this makes installation much more difficult. As you unravel the wall you will need something to hold it up. We recommend placing landscaping stakes around the outside of the pool and clipping the wall to the stakes as you go. If you cannot get landscaping stakes the other option is to temporarily install stabilizer rails and uprights to keep the wall in place. If the side wall seems too long or too short, make the bottom ring larger or smaller by equally sliding the bottom rails in or out of the bottom plates.If the ground is uneven, the wall may jump out of the bottom track. Correct this condition by rechecking the level. Rails can be slid in or out Metal coping from the stops on the bottom installed to % plates or cuffs to adjust for support wall wall length being a little off. temporarily Cardboard Base I -- Make sure skimmer and I skimmer return — holes are You may hide wall joint behind anunobstructedbyCheckneonupright, but this is not required. uprights, and are wall label at the upper for the right portion of the wall. end up Use stakes to support wall r I e STEP 7: WALL JOINT ASSEMBLY We manufacture two different kinds of wall joint assemblies. One has a single row of bolts with pre -attached aluminum wall bars, and the other is a staggered double row pattern where the aluminum wall bars are not pre -attached: Please check which design your pool has and follow the appropriate instructions below. Type #1 Single Row IMPORTANT - This operation must be done carefully! When joining the sidewall, make sure that the aluminum strips do not touch each other. One bar must be inside the pool (the bolts will touch this bar) and one bar must be outside the pool (the nuts will touch this bar). Insert the bolts with the bolt head to the inside and the nuts to the outside of the pool. Do not tighten until all bolts have been inserted. If your screwdriver slips and scratches the head of the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot puncture the liner. It is recommended that you cover the heads of the bolts, on the inside of the wall, with three layers of duct tape. ff the insertion of the wall in the bottom rail is tight at the point where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make enough room, again being sure not to scratch the wall or the bottom rail. Wall bar ^ Irside of, pool Nut goes to outside of pool Outsideof pool Wall bar is loose The Wall Bar is loose. It must be used when the wall, is assembled on the job site as per drawings. Failure to do so will result in pool failure .and voids the warranty. REMEMBER: ALL NUTS SHOULD BE AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE USING HAND TOOLS. BARS MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER. EVERY HOLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE WALL/ WALL BAR SYSTEM MUST HAVE A SECURELY TIGHTENEDNUT AND BOLT. IF THIS IS DONE INCORRECTLY YOUR POOL WILL BREAK! Type # 2 Staggered Bolt Pattern IMPORTANT — This operation must be done carefully! When joining the sidewall, make sure that the aluminum strips do not touch each other. One bar must be inside the pool (the bolts will touch this bar) and one bar must be outside the pool (the nuts will touch this bar). Insert the bolts with the bolt head to the inside and the nuts to the outside of the pool. Do not tighten until all bolts have been inserted. If your screwdriver slips and scratches the head of the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot puncture the liner. It is recommended that you cover the heads of the bolts, on the inside of the wall, with three layers of duct tape. If the insertion of the wall in the bottom rail is tight at the point where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make enough room, again being sure not to scratch the wall or the bottom rail. If you are missing any, hardware, do not leave empty holes in the wall joint assembly. Doing so will cause your pool to break! See your pool dealer for additional hardware in the case of a shortage.

F. i STEP 8: UPRIGHT INSTALLATION If you have not done so already, install uprights onto the bottom plates or the bottom cuffs. See appropriate step below for your pool. Wall joint is hidden behind the upright on most pools. This assures that the skimmer and the skimmer return holes are not obstructed. It is not possible to hide the wall bars on some of the smaller size pools that we make, such as the 12' round, and the 8' round. Note: Skimmer and skimmer return hole locations. TYPE #1 - BOTTOM PLATE POOLS: Models with bottom plates will require one, two, or three #1 Ox 1/2" screws up for each upright, depending on which model pool you have. The top plates can remain unsecured for now, but they should be Sir temporarily clipped over the wall to prevent the uprights from falling backward. If your pool has an additional resin "boot" for the bottom of the upright, secure them to the upright at this point using two more #1 Ox 1/2" screws. Check pool for roundness again, making sure the diameter is the same in all directions. TYPE #2 — BOTTOM CUFF POOLS: Bottom Plate 10 Screw Models with resin bottom cuffs, instead of bottom plates, do not require hardware in order to secure the upright at the bottom. Simply line up the holes in the lower portion of the upright with the corresponding clips in the bottom cuff and push them down until they lock in place. When this is done properly the upright will not be able to be pulled up without bringing the bottom cuff with it. The metal top plates can remain unsecured for the time being, but they should be temporarily clipped over the wall to prevent the uprights from falling backward. Check pool for roundness again, making sure the diameter is the same in all directions. Be sure that the holes in the upright line up with the clips in the boot, and that snap securely in place. Be sure that the holes in the upright line up with the clips in the boot, and that snap securely in place. TEP 8:,UPRIGHT INSTALLATION continued WCENT CLIP INSTALLATION (Not applicable to all models of pools): Some bottom cuffs and/or uprights have separate accent clips. This is a good time to snap those pieces on if your pool has these. Below are some examples of accent clips. These may be in different locations depending on the model of pool. a I 1 / 16" Please note the difference.of the accent clips for the resin boot and the steel Upright. For proper fit be sure to use the correct clips. STEP 9: PREPARING THE COVE Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth, or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2" base over the entire pool area to protect the liner. 0 NOT USE ANY SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH ALKALINE OR ACID CONTENT, ESPECIALLY PEAT MOSS, AS IT WILL CORRODE JIETAL PARTS! Next, using the sifted earth or fine sand, build a pool cove 6" to 8 high inside the metal wall along the entire circumference. lihis will prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner from any metal edges of the pool Iramework. THIS STEP. IS NOT OPTIONAL- 1T MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals can cause discoloration or Orrosion, it is suggested that you place polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the wall, so no earth tomes in contact with the metal. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage is lot covered by the warranty. After the cove and the base are in place„ rake and ,tamp the entire pool area. Make sure that no sand is allowed to remain on he wall above the cove. This could cause pinholes in your liner. STEP 10: LINER INSTALLATION POOL WALL If you opted to use the stabilizers to help hold the wall up, then you will need to take them off while installing the liner. Do not place the liner wall seam directly over the skimmer or skimmer return cutouts. Place the liner at the center of the pool with the flap from the seams facing down. (For print liners, leave the print side facing up.) Spread the liner so that the bottom seam of the circumference is resting on the cove evenly around the pool. The seam should not be upon the wall or shifted to one side. These conditions co will cause tightness or stretching of the liner when the pool is being filled. CORRECT LINER SEAM Resting evenly on or near the cove of the pool. Seam may not always lie on the cove as pictured, so your focus should be to keep the seam consistent around the pool. STEP 11: HANGING LINER E INCORRECT LINER SEAM Shifted up wall. This should not be done. Correct this situation if it occurs. There area few different types of Liners on the market today. The three most common liners are the Overlap, the Snap Bead, and the V-Bead liners (Also referred to as J-Bead liners). Please be sure which one you have and follow the appropriate step below: TYPE #1 — OVERLAP LINER: Starting at the liner wall seam, hang the liner over the wall making sure that the seam is straight up and down, perpendicular to the floor. This will assure you that the liner begins going over the wall straight. As you put the liner over the wall you can secure it by using the plastic coping strips to keep it in place. If you end up with excess material, continue around the pool, pulling excess liner evenly, and distribute over the wall until the excess is gone. Liner wall seam straight up and down Plastic coping installed at this time to hold liner in place pping Outside pool wall tic coping STEP,11: HANGING LINER continued TYPE # 2 — SNAP BEAD LINER: With a snap bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips that are packed in the parts carton of many pools. You can discard those pieces (if they are included). Instead, you should have received a beaded liner track (referred to as a "coping bead, receiver" in the below diagram). The beaded liner track should be installed onto the pool wall all of the way around the pool. These pieces should be as close together as possible. Leaving spaces between bead tracks can cause liner problems down the road. Once all of the beaded liner track is on the wall, you can snap the liner bead into the beaded liner track at four random points around the pool. After that is done, and you are satisfied with how the liner is situated within the pool, you can continue snapping the remainder of the liner into place around the pool. Go around the entire pool again making certain that the liner is securely snapped into the track. This is important to confirm so that the liner does not pull out while under the pressure of being filled with water. TYPE # 3 — J or MEAD LINER: With a V-Bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips that are packed' in the parts carton of your pool. You can discard those pieces,. if they are included, as they only apply to pools with overlap"liners. The top of the wall of the liner has what is called a "V-Bead welded onto it. Simply open up the bead with your fingers and hang it directly on top of the pool wall. When this is done properly, the only portion on the outside of the pool wall is approximately 1" of the V-Bead. No printed liner material is actually going over the top of the wall to the outside of the wall. Make sure the bead is on evenly around the entire pool, and that the liner is hanging straight down from the top of the wall. The liner should not have creases in it because it is twisting around the pool. If the liner is twisting, it is because it is not sitting properly in the pool. Make necessary adjustments before proceeding. SNAP BEAD LINER Coping BeadInnerStabilizerRailReceiver supplied with pool) Beaded Liner Pool Wall Pool Water J or V-BEAD LINER Inner Stabilizer Rail supplied with pool) Pool Wall V-Bead Liner Pool Water STEP 12: LINER ADJUSTMENT (For Overlap liners ONLY) Once the liner is held securely in place by coping, temporarily pull wrinkles in the floor towards the side wall ever leaving the wrinkles at the cove. When the liner is correctly positioned, there must be no air space between the liner the ground or side wall. Remove wrinkles at the cove by adjusting the amount of material over the wall. Do not pull tight leave the slack on the sides. When a liner is properly installed there is no downward pressure on the liner. 1 liner could pull in if it is hung too tightly. Start filling the pool. When the water is no more than 1" deep, check for levelness. If water runs to one side, back the liner and make the ground level. When level, continue to fill and adjust the liner. Do not cut the skimmer skimmer return holes in the liner until fully adjusted and the pool is 1/3 filled. CORRECT NO AIR SPACE BETWEEN LINER AND POOL - SLACK ON SIDES. STEP 13: INNER STABILIZER ADJUSTMENT INCORRECT! DO NOT LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN LINER AND COVE. THIS WILL CAUSE DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE LINER. CORRECT THIS CONDITION IF IT OCCURS. When the liner is completely adjusted and the plastic coping is secured, push the first inner stabilizer rail over ti- plastic coping so that it fits snugly (starting at the wall bolts is usually a good idea). Be sure to leave one end of tr stabilizer slightly raised so that the next stabilizer can interlock as shown below. As they are progressively installe around the circumference of the pool, note that the tapered end of the stabilizer easily telescopes into the un-tapere end of the following stabilizer. The tapered end should be inserted approximately 1" into the adjacent stabilizer. TN allows room for adjustment either in or out. In this way, the last stabilizer may be fitted into place by adjusting th other stabilizer rails as needed. Inner Stabilizer Rail Liner Roll overlap liner up inward to hide excess underneath top rail. (Rolling inward will prevent water from collecting in flap.) Do not trim excess - this may cause liner to pull in! Plastic Coping or Beaded Liner Track. STEP 14: SECURE UPRIGHTS Sample Top Plate - Yours may look a little different At this point you can now pull the front of the top Top Rail 'Top Plate plate (the hooked part) over the stabilizer bar and, after you are positive that the upright is level, you can now o add the final two screws necessary to secure the o uprights to the pool. If the uprights are not level, it will be very difficult to get the top rails to fit together. It is a good idea to use a carpenter's level to check that the Put front screw of upright is standing perfectly straight. If the upright is top plate in loosely leaning left or right this is easy to correct before putting the final two screws into the top plate. STEP 15: TOP RAIL INSTALLATION Your pool either has metal top rails, or resin top rails. Please notice the different hardware that is necessary for the resin top rail pools. You should have two people while installing the top rails. If a top rail falls in the pool it can cut the liner. Secure all metal top rails using # 10 x'/z" screws into the corresponding holes in the top plates. *Resin top rails require special #10 x 1" screws that have attached washers. When installing the top rails do not tighten screws until all of the top rails have been installed. This will allow room for adjustments if necessary on the final few rails that are installed. Attach all top rails before the water is more than 12" deep, because if the pool is slightly out of round, you may have a problem getting the last rail to go on.

Always wash away any deposits of pool chemicals which land on the frame of your pool. Wash periodically with a mild soap solution (no abrasives). At least once a year use a clear non -yellowing household wax on all metal components. Your pool and liner must be inspected regularly for leaks, corrosion, scratches, and punctures. If any problem is found IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. Small repairs and punctures in your liner may be easily repaired using repair kits available at your local dealer. Scratches on your pool wall & frame must be touched up with anti -rust enamel. Wire brush all rust and add a coat of enamel primer followed by a coat of color matching paint. Pool water is full of various caustic chemicals, which will corrode metal parts. If any corrosion is allowed to continue, failure of the pool structure may occur which could result1n excessive property damage as well as bodily harm. The skimmer area and below it are particular areas that must be carefully and regularly inspected. If this area is wet, and remains wet for any length of time,'it usually means there is a small leak. Skimmer/skimmer return gaskets must be replaced when they become defective. Water must not be permitted to continually run down the wall, if neglected pool will break. If proper skimmer/skimmer return gasket care is not maintained, your warranty will be void! Be sure to follow all local and state safety regulations when installing any accessory to your pool. Any decks, and all entries, must be carefully monitored for safety and access to pool. installing any other manufacturer's deck or slide is strictly forbidden! Winterizing Your Pool During the winter your pool is subject to more stress than in the summer, and any breakage that is caused by incorrect winter procedures is not subject to any warranty with this company. All of our pools and liners are designed to be left up all winter, but nonetheless are subject to the warranty of the liner being purchased. Continue to chlorinate and filter until the pool is closed down. Before closing. down your pool for the winter you must make a complete inspection of the pool. Check all the connections to make sure everything is tight and in good condition Check to see that the liner is snugly held in place over the wall. Check for any indication of rust or deterioration in any part. IF ANY OF THE ABOVE IS FAULTY YOU MUST CORRECT THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. Lower the level of water to about one foot below the skimmer intake and return holes. Throughout the winter you must continually check this level, as it must not reach the skimmer holes at any time during the winter. During the winter the pool requires the use of an equalizer to allow for the expansion and contraction that occurs when ice is formed and to hold cover up. This can be a product manufactured for this express purpose and is available at your swimming pool dealer. The use of a winterizing agent will simplify the start up of your pool next season. A cover designed for winter use is also recommended to keep pressure on the equalizer so it is forces into the water, keep dirt out, and at the same time, serve as a safety cover. If your skimmer is supplied with a winter plate and cap you must still follow the same steps as above. It is essential that no water be allowed to run down the wall for any period of time. If your skimmer, did not come with the winter plate it is available at a nominal charge at your dealer and is recommended.
