15. ASSEMBLING SKIMMER, INLET NOZZLE,
SPOTS AND OTHER FITTINGS
applying to:
round-shaped
pools,
figure-eight-shaped
pools,
oval-shaped
pools
Prior to the assembly fill the pool with water up to 10 cm be
low the height where you want to install the concerned fit
tings. That way the foil is pressed evenly to the wall.
There are different ways of assembling. On demand our swim
ming pools can have punched cut-outs for the skimmer (item
No. 502010310), as well as punched cut-outs for the inlet or
several inlets. Note: The cut-outs for underwater spots or ot
her fittings cannot be made in our works. They have to be
made during the assembly. Attention! The punched cut-outs
should always be made before the lining is installed.
Pay attention to the wind direction. Try to position the skim
mer facing the prevailing winds so that the wind already blows
the dirt to the skimmer.
For further information about the assembly of skimmer, halo
gen spots, or other fittings please refer to the according as
sembly instructions.
We want to emphasize that all cut-outs for additional fit
tings , like inlets or underwater spots, have to be deburred
and sealed with corrosion protection paint or zinc paint.
The pool's guarantee is void if other than original W+H fittings
are used.
The same applies if the steel jacket gets rusty because cutting
edges have not been protected against corrosion the way
described above.
If there are any further questions, please contact your specia
list supplier.
16. BACKFILL OF HALF AND COMPLETELY
EMBEDDED POOLS
applying to: round-shaped pools, figure-eight-shaped
pools, oval-shaped pools
The pool basin should be back-filled with a lean concrete lay-
er 15 to 20 cm thick (lean concrete B10 approx. 1 O N/mm
2
strength, or a mixture of approx. 1 : 10 depending on the grain size of the aggregate gravel). For heat insulation and
protection of the steel wall we recommend to put a layer of 2 cm thick polystyrene mats between basin wall and
concrete. Take care that the steel wall is not deformed by the pressure of the concrete. The backfill has do be built in
layers of about 30 cm in height. Every layer has to set before the next layer can be filled in. The basin must be filled
with water while doing this.
The concrete must not be too wet and should be neither shaken nor stamped. Otherwise, the walls of the pool will
deform inwards.
