This document is an installation manual for a Metric Oval Residential Swimming Pool manufactured by Radiant Pools. It provides comprehensive instructions and guidelines for the proper setup, assembly, and maintenance of the pool.
The Radiant Metric Oval Residential Swimming Pool is designed for residential use, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing swimming solution. The manual outlines the steps required to install the pool, from site selection and excavation to panel assembly, liner installation, and final setup. It emphasizes the importance of proper ground preparation, structural bracing, and concrete work to ensure the pool's stability and longevity. The pool system includes various components such as wall panels (radius and straight), buttress A-frames, hold down plates, channels, hardware bundles, oval panel brace kits, A-frame covers, coping kits (straight and radius), skimmer and adapter kits, and the liner itself. The installation process involves creating a level and solid foundation, assembling the wall panels and structural supports, installing the liner, and connecting essential accessories like the skimmer and return fittings.
The manual provides detailed specifications for various pool sizes, including 12x16, 12x20, 12x24, 16x24, 16x28, 16x32, and 18x34. These specifications cover the quantity of wall panels, buttress A-frames, hold down plates, and channel lengths required for each size. For instance, a 12x16 pool requires 6 radius wall panels (6' 3-3/8"), 2 straight wall panels (3' 9-7/8"), 4 buttress A-frames, 4 hold down plates (16" x 36" steel), and 2 (4' 6") channels. In contrast, an 18x34 pool requires 8 (7' 0-7/8") radius wall panels, 8 straight wall panels, 10 buttress A-frames, 10 hold down plates, and 6 (5' 6") channels.
The manual also specifies the required quantities of additional components not included in the pool kit, such as patio blocks (2" x 8" x 16"), concrete blocks (8" x 8" x 16"), concrete footer mix, clean sand for under liner, and concrete collar mix. For example, a 12x16 pool needs 4 patio blocks, 4 concrete blocks, 1.5 cubic yards of concrete footer mix, 2 cubic yards of clean sand, and 3.25 cubic yards of concrete collar mix. An 18x34 pool, on the other hand, requires 6 patio blocks, 12 concrete blocks, 3.5 cubic yards of concrete footer mix, 4.5 cubic yards of clean sand, and 7 cubic yards of concrete collar mix.
Trench layouts are provided with specific dimensions for different pool widths (12', 16', 18'), detailing trench length, width, and depth. For a 12' wide pool, the trench length is 27" and depth is 8". For a 16' wide pool, the trench length is 27" and depth is 8". For an 18' wide pool, the trench length is 27" and depth is 8". The diagonal measurements for squaring the area (A-C and B-D) are also provided for each pool size, ranging from 12' 3/4" for a 12x16 pool to 24' 7/8" for an 18x34 pool.
Concrete requirements for the A-frame collar are detailed, indicating the area, volume, and yards of concrete needed for various pool sizes. For example, a 12x16 pool requires an area of 5' x 8" x 27", a volume of 21 cu. ft., and 1.5 yards of concrete (3.25 yards total with collar mix). An 18x34 pool requires an area of 17' x 8" x 27", a volume of 68 cu. ft., and 3.5 yards of concrete (7 yards total with collar mix).
Water gallonage per pool size is also listed, which is crucial for filling the pool. A 12x16 pool holds 4,419 gallons, while an 18x34 pool holds 14,874 gallons.
