Florida Statutes are quoted here in part for your information to indicate the authority for exemptions for homeowners
from qualifying as contractors and to express any applicable restrictions and responsibilities.
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.

ST,2P 1: POOL LOCATION
Do not locate pool over underground lines, septic tanks, under electrical lines, near hazardous structures, or out of local code
restrictions. 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.

BE SURE TO AVOID:
All electrical wires
All gas lines

Cesspools
Dry wells
Tree roots/stumps
buried debris(trees,
building material, etc.)
sudden slopes within 6'
of pool area
Determine the pool circumference by putting a stake in the ground at the center of the location desired, and with a line equal
in length to the radius of the pool area (1/2 the pool size plus 12"), mark off the circumference with a sharp object, lawn edger,
white powder, or spray paint.
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.

A. 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.)

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.

Please note the different bottom tracks.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
li his 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION
When a resin top rail pool is
assembled, you must use
special hardware to attach the
resin top rail to the metal top
plate. Please see the diagram
to the left for assembly.
The special hardware is:
a) A#10 screw that is 1" long.
b) A washer with the screw to
distribute the pressure
more evenly.
STEP 16: TOP COVER INSTALLATION
After all top rails have been installed, tighten all screws and attach the top covers as shown in the appropriate diagram for your poi .

Center small half over hole in the top plate as shown and attach with
a #12 screw. Slide the large half over the small half and secure using
two #10 screws.

2) Take angle support (small half) and position underneath top half,
securing angle support to upright with 2 #10 screws on the sides (leave
loose for adjustment). Then, take a #12 screw and connect angle support to
top cover. A small space will occur- this is designed to take up expansion &

Ipo tant.Pool: Safety & aintenan e
Keep your pool wall and frame clean. 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.
