Installation Instructions

HOW TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure to read these instructions completely before

beginning the installation of your pool. ATTENTION:

Always use these assembly instructions to install

your swimming pool. Ignore any English instructions

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

ATTENTION: Check the pool parts with the English

parts lists.

These are installation instructions for the installation of

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

extensive illustrations to identify your pool parts; then

read these instructions and follow the steps that pertain

to your pool assembly.

Doughboy cannot be held liable for damage caused by

careless or improper installation. Your warranty is void

if the pool assembly and installation instructions are

not followed exactly, or if the pool design is altered in

any way.

Contracted Installation

Doughboy is not affiliated with any professional pool

installers and cannot assume any responsibility for

installation mistakes made by the homeowner. If

the pool is installed by others, please supervise the

installation and make sure that the correct installation

method is applied.

Change of pool design

Doughboy expressly reserves the right to change or

modify the design and instruction during the course of

our manufacturing procedures, without incurring any

obligation or liability to reapply such modifications on

products previously or currently sold.

CAUTIONS

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

An unsupported pool wall can easily blow down and

may thus cause personal injury.

2. When assembling your pool, keep the parts not

currently used in an area out of the way. Unpacked

parts are easily tripped over and may be damaged

or cause personal injury.

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

reduce the possibility of personal injury, have some-

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

WARNING

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

An unlevel pool may cause excessive stress on

the pool frame. A pool which is not level may

cause a lot of pressure on the frame. This may

result in pool failure which could cause serious

personal injury.

2. Your pool must be on undisturbed soil, preferably

filtered sand. Filled up sand, sudden slopes within

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

the subsoil. This could cause pool failure and may

cause personal injury.

3. Always install the Warning Sign. The decal is

designed to warn you, your friends and loved ones

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

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

around the pool. Failure to follow this warning can

lead to severe personal injury. Read the “Safety

First” booklet (in English).

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

can easily erode and allow the pool liner to rupture

which may cause pool failure or personal injury.

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

gates should be secured to reduce the possibility

of unauthorised entry and possible serious

accidents.

6. Always repair liner leaks. Continued leakage

between the pool wall and liner can cause wall

damage to the wall which eventually may result

in pool wall failure. This could result in personal

injury.

7. To reduce the risk of possible electrical shock,

never install your pool under overhead wires.

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

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

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

other recreational accessories for use during div-

ing, sliding or jumping into your pool.

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

peratures under 16ºC. At lower temperatures the

liner’s elasticity is too limited for proper installation.

POOL LAYOUT

Step 1

By means of the plan you determine the layout of the

clearance. Locate stakes A and B (in accordance with

indicated dimensions) and make from there 2 circles

for the clearance.

GROUND LEVELING

Step 2

Clear and level the pool area in the clearance as indicat-

ed. For a firm ground it is better to remove high points

than filling in low spots. Remove sods, stones, roots and

other objects that could puncture the liner. The entire

assembled pool framework must sit on flat ground.

STAKES AND STRING LINES

Step 3

Locate 4 stakes C, D, E and F in accordance with indi-

cated measures of the plan of your pool. Attach strings

between C and D, then E and F. Now mark the assem-

bled side supports, as indicated on the plan.

INSTALL WALL JOINTS

Step 11

The wall joints overlap (see plan). If joint piece doesn't

slide on easily, correct the side supports until the joints

fit perfectly. See to it that the round shape is preserved.

Connect the wall joints by means of the bolts and

screws included in the packaging. Attention: the

screwhead must be on the inside of the pool. Smooth

the screws. Fix the protective strip with tape.

INSTALL VERTICALS & END CAPS

Step 12

Install the verticals, so that the screw aperture is at

the front side on top of the vertical. The construction

is connect by screws. Position vertical end cap over

vertical (see plan). A drop of oil on the screws

facilitates your work.

INSTALL BOTTOM RAILS

Step 9

Slide the bottom rails into the vertical end caps, groove

up (see plan). Start on opposite sides of the side vertical

assemblies with the end rails stamped with 12". When

the bottom condition is not optimal, place a patio block

under every vertical end cap (sunk on bottom level for

extra certainty).

INSTALL WALL

Step 10

Remove steel pool wall from carton. Note ‘Up’ arrow on

wall. Determine starting point of wall from preliminary

planning, depending on the place of the pump and the

filter. The skimmer opening will be at the inside end of

the wall coil. Always start with the center of a vertical

end cap. Always uncoil 1,5 m and insert bottom edge

into groove in bottom rails. When the ends of the pool

do not connect completely, correct this by telescope the

bottom rail more or less into the vertical end caps.

COVE

Step 14

Important step: Make on the inside of the steel wall a

slant elevation of sifted earth of around 15 cm high and

wide. This is a vital structural element that prevents

water pressure from forcing the pool liner out under the

bottom rail.

LINER SEAM POSITIONING

Step 15

Check the pool floor again for stones, glass and other

sharp objects. Fill in all footprints and other unevenness

on pool floor. As floor sealing and extra protection of your

liner it is advisable to cover the floor with water-resistant

underlay, that you can fasten with tape to the underside

of the steel wall. Now place the liner on the top rail and

check as indicated.

Note: The embossed side of the liner will be the water

side.

STRETCH LINER

Step 16

Work in both directions with unfolding the liner and drape

it over the top rail and down the sides for about 60 cm.

The liner should be about 40 cm above the pool floor

in the center only. The bottom edge seam of the liner

should be inside the pool about 30 cm from the top rails

(see plan).

FILL POOL

Step 17

Before filling the swimming pool, hold the liner in place

by attaching two binder clips over folded cardboard on

the underside of each top rail. Because of the water

weight, the liner will be stretched with no wrinkles. Check

during filling the pool the liner for extreme tautness.

Binder clips do not self-release, so release binder clips

with extreme tautness and allow the liner to feed back

bottom liner seam

cardboard

clamp

garden hose

binder clips

into the pool until the desired tautness is achieved and

re-clamp the binder clips. Remember that you are

monitoring a minimum tightness of the liner over rail that

will control the liner seating itself against the pool floor

and up the side with no wrinkles. When the water (5 cm)

is covering the pool floor, the liner on the pool floor must

be without pleats and wrinkles.

If this occurs, pull and lift the liner wall just enough to

stretch out wrinkles or pleats by the water weight. There

should be just barely enough tension on the liner, until

the floor is filled with approximately 20 cm water and the

liner is connected against the metal wall.

The clamps can be bought at several tool shops

(Preferably use synthetic clamps).

CONTINUE FILLING POOL

Step 18

After the pool is filled, the bottom liner seam of the

liner must be totally around in the pool must be close

to crossing of the bottom wall. Do not worry about the

strength of the liner, the strength is calculated on

1,5 x the original size. When the bottom liner seam is

not on the right place, there is a chance that you have

not enough liner left to place on the top border, so that

you have to start again with placing the liner.

MONTAGE INSTRUCTIE CENTURY - PAGINA 1ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS SUNLAKE - OVAL - PAGE 14

PROCEDURE TO ATTACH LINER

Step 19

With the help of two or three people, raise and hold the

liner up from any three top rail sections. Be careful and

never allow the liner to fall back into the pool. When 1

man is holding the liner, the other folds back the vertical

end caps, the top rails and top connectors from three top

rails (see plan).

INSTALL COPING AND

STABILIZER RAILS

Step 20

Make a return hem as illustrated and smooth the liner

against the wall (see plan). Place the coping over the

liner and the stabilizer rails over the coping after pushing

it together about 15 cm. Replace all parts removed in

step 19 and repeat the same steps for all 3 top rails until

you assembled the entire pool.

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BUILDING A POOL IN THE

GROUND

To avoid that material rolls onto the site where the pool

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

be constructed must be in the most elevated part of the

garden. The surrounding landscape should be lower

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

should also be above the groundwater level during the

winter (water level 15 cm below the inlet).

The specific installation such as seen in Figure 2 serves

only as a reference and is not representative for all pool

installations. The parts which may need special materi-

als are the lighting and chloride installations.

EXCAVATING

1. The circumference of the excavation is the same as

the size of the pool plus 60 cm around the whole

pool. Determine the size of the excavation pertaining

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

sive installation instruction delivered with the pool.

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

sand or stabilized sand; on top of that we recommend

a layer of styrodur or a protective blanket.)

2. The depth of the excavation is dependent on the

height of the pool and desired terrace. Use the size

such as seen in Figure 1 to calculate how deep the

excavation should be.

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

should be installed according to the installation ins-

truction delivered with the pool.

INSTALLATION OF SKIMMER AND INLET

The skimmer and the inlet have to be installed before

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

up with stabilized sand. During the installation of the

internal lining and the skimmer, the lead through for the

skimmer may not be created yet. Install the inlet and

gasket. Remove the internal lining from the inlet opening

and install the valve delivered with the skimmer.

PLUMBER’S WORK

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

you should connect the skimmer and the inlet with rigid

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

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

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

possible to the pool in connection with the drawing in of

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

then you should place it below the water level.

FILLING THE POOL

First fill the pool with water up to approximately 5 cm

away from the top edge. This procedure is absolutely

necessary to absorb the pressure performed on the wall

during the application of stabilized sand. Ff the pool

is not filled completely with water, this can cause pool

failure.

SHUTTERING

We recommend that you apply a shuttering around the

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

skimmer and any other accessories offer you the possi-

bility to have easy access for maintenance or repairs.

ATTENTION: If the filling up takes place immediately

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

re to check the skimmer during leaks.

Doughboy is in no way liable for the expenses pertaining

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

off and/or removing of stabilizing sand.

PREPARATION OF STABILIZER SAND

Mixing ratio 1 m3 fluvial sand with 125 kg concrete.

IMPORTANT WARNING:

Regardless the method used for the way the stabilized

sand is applied, you should pay close attention to the

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

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

someone should enter the pool to push it back.

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

the pool wall by removing the mixture

used to fill up the pool locally again so

that the dent can be removed. Then

carefully fill up the pool again. You

should at all times pay attention to the

pool wall until the pool is completely

filled up. To prevent rust on the pool

wall, the water streaming out of the pool

should immediately be removed from the

pool wall. For this you should let the top

layer run off at least 2 cm such as can

be seen from the illustration. After the

mixture has been applied completely,

you should lower the water level to the

top line of the skimmer opening and cut

away the liner in the skimmer opening.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

Piling up of loose material between the mixture and the

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

between the mixture and the cover material to get this at

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARATION OF THE POOL

The pool should be built up the correct way based

on the pool assembly and installation instructions.

Approximately 70 cm water should press against the

metal wall, so that there isn’t any elasticity anymore

against the liner, before the skimmer is installed.

ATTENTION: After the skimmer hole is cut open the liner

can no longer be moved.

Skimmer installation

1. Remove all parts from the carton box. Remove the

cover of the skimmer by sliding it to the front and

then lifting is; remove the skimmer basket.

2. Fasten the skimmer valve (7) to the skimmer (3)

by using three screws (8). Push the skimmer valve

into the skimmer so that the foam side is facing the

bottom.

3. Install the top skimmer gasket (9) into the square

opening of the metal wall; make sure that the gas-

ket is positioned properly in front of the holes. Then

fasten the bottom gasket (10) into the vacuum con-

nection. Place the skimmer plate on the inside of

the pool, and keep the skimmer on the outside of

the pool. First screw tight the top angles with two

self tapping screws. Press the self tapping screws

through the skimmer plate and press the liner into

the openings of the skimmer. Lightly tighten

the self

tapping screws.

Your standard skimmer facilitates the maintenance of

your pool. Leaves and floating refuse are taken out of

the water and enter into the skimmer basket. Clean the

basket regularly to continuously keep your pool clean

and hygienic. The numbers indicated between the brac-

kets refer to the numbers of the illustration (Fig 7).

Installation inlet fixture

1. Install the gasket of the inlet (17) into the wall ope-

ning. Insert the inlet fixture (18) through the liner and

the wall starting from the inside of the pool. Make a

small notch into the liner and press the inlet fixture

through.

2. Now screw the inlet (16) onto the inlet fixture; turn

it clockwise until the inlet end points towards the

bottom.

3. Install the eyeball inserted piece (20) into the eyeball

(21). Insert the eyeball with the inserted piece into the

inlet fixture, turn the closure (22) on top of that; make

sure that the eyeball location stands in the water run-

ning off direction of the skimmer opening

WARNING: Always keep the water level between the

water level signs on the skimmer plate.

After installation of the skimmer check if there are leaks

when the pool is filled. Continuous leaks can cause

damage to the pool wall, so that eventually there is pool

failure.

VACUUMING

Empty the skimmer basket before suctioning.

1. Switch off the pump. Assemble the vacuum nozzle,

handle and hose. A proper flexible hose provides the

best suction results. Attach the free end to the vacu-

um adaptor (13).

2. Switch on the pump. Keep the free end of the hose

against the outlet of the inlet fixture. Because of this

air shall pass through the hose. When bubbles no

longer exit from the vacuum nozzle, all air has been

removed (please refer to Figure 5/6).

4. Screw the rest of the self tapping screws through the

skimmer plate, liner, gaskets, wall and the correspon-

ding openings in the skimmer. Tighten all self tapping

screws manually; this to prevent damage to the skim-

mer plate. With a Stanley knife now cut away the liner

on the inside of the skimmer plate; do the same with

the vacuum inlet. (Fig 4)

ATTENTION: The gasket around the vacuum connection

(10) is necessary to ensure a watertight closure around

the vacuum connection during the suctioning off of

water. Attach the suction cover (12) and the attachment

of the suction cover (11) to the skimmer plate with a

screw (8).

3. Fold the cover of the vacuum opening (12) so that

it points towards the bottom. Insert the tapering end

of the vacuum adaptor with the hose attached into

the opening by making a turning movement (Fig. 7).

4. The cover (2) has two functions. In the normal

position is covers the top of the filter. During suc-

tion, this same cover becomes the closing plate for

suctioning; make sure that the pump is in the OFF

position. Remove the cover, turn it 90º and let it

drop to the inside and place it above the basket.

Make sure that there is no air under the cover.

Trapped air shall make the cover rise.

Warning: Never try to install the cover in a suctioning

position if the pump is switched on. The cover might

suddenly be pulled down due to the strong suction of the

pump. You may suffer personal injury to your hands or

fingers.

5. When the cover is in place, you can switch on the

pump and put into operation the suction of the pool

floor.

6. When you are finished suctioning, you have to switch

off the pump. Remove the vacuum hose with the

vacuum adaptor connected to it from the pool. Clean

the skimmer basket and your filter. Relocate the cover

to the original position on the top of the skimmer.

Switch on the pump to resume the normal operation

of the pump.

PREPARING FOR WINTER

When the swimming season is over, you have to follow

the instructions to get your pool ready for winter.

ATTENTION! Do not remove all the water from your

pool and also do not remove the liner. An empty pool can

namely cause pool failure.

Lower the water level

- Lower the water level in your pool so that it is approxi-

mately 6” (15 cm) below the inlet fixture; maintain this

water level by checking it regularly.

- If you have a skimmer, then absolutely do not let the

water freeze in the skimmer but rather drain this water.

Check all screws and connections

- Make sure that all installation connections and parts

are positioned correctly and that the pool wall is not

moved away from the bottom rails.

- Make also sure that all connections are water tight.

Check if there is rust

- Correct all damages or rust spots with a varnish stick.

Check the liner (interior tarpaulin)

- Make sure that the top of the liner is still overhanging

the pool wall attached to the plastic edge. Do not

remove the liner from your pool. Upon removal of the

liner of the pool the warrantee becomes void. Do not

pump dry all the water from the pool during the winter.

Leaks found

- Make sure that there aren’t any leaks in the liner.

Leaks during the winter can cause serious damages to

your pool.

Pool accessories

- Remove all pool accessories from the pool, including

the ladder. Leave the skimmer and inlet fixture in

place.

The filter

- Disconnect the filter from your pool and follow the filter

instructions for maintaining the filter during the winter.

Clean the pump and the filter for the winter (frost free).

Anti-freeze liquid

This liquid can be used without problems in combination

with chloride products. Upon finding algae present first

apply a ‘shock treatment.’ The liquid should be, dis-

solved in a pail of water, spread out equally across the

water surface. During the dosage the pump should be

in operation. The dosage is 0.5 litres per 10 m3, after

approximately four weeks 0.3 litres per 10 m3.

ATTENTION! Never mix the liquid with other pool che-

micals or chemicals and always add the product to

water, never the other way around.

If you do not adhere closely to the winter instructions,

the warrantee of your pool may become void. Thus care-

fully adhere to all instructions for maintaining your pool

during the winter.
