SITE PREPARATION AND PLANNING
In planning for the installation of a new Latham pool,there are many important considerations that must be evaluated in order to achieve a functional,long-
lasting and aesthetic addition to a home.When choosing a location,consider the following:
1.Grade:Pools and decks are normally constructed on level ground.Extreme variations in grade should be resolved before the excavation of the pool begins.
A relatively level and flat location is preferred so time and effort are not wasted on radical fluctuations in grade.
2.Excavation Equipment Access and Pool Delivery:Determine the most efficient route for equipment to enter and access the site.Also keep in mind that a
well planned route can save time and money by enabling multiple pieces of equipment to work in unison.For example:Coordinate the delivery of the pool
with the completion of the excavation and preparation of the hole.Use of a crane with four(4)20-foot straps is recommended for the process of setting
the pool shell in the excavated site.However,if a track excavator was used to prepare the site,in some cases it may also be utilized to unload and set the
pool.Contact Latham for specific guidelines for setting pools with excavator equipment.Finally,consider the placement of the equipment.If possible,
position the pool equipment so the pool shell can be unloaded and placed directly into the excavation without risking damage to the equipment.
3.Underground Utilities:Check with local authorities in advance for the locations of underground water,gas,power and sewer lines.
4.Overhead Power Lines.
5.Local Building Codes:Determine the setbacks from property lines,easements,house footings,etc.
6.Underground Water Conditions. ��
7.Water Drainage:Water should always drain away from the pool.Failure to keep ground water away from the exte or of t e poal Aii rasult�ljo the

Step 2. POOL LAYOUT
When laying out the pool, note that the dimensions are to the .outside edge of the pool beam. Most permit plans are measured
to the water's edge. The beam of a Latham fiberglass pool is approximately 4"to 10" on all sides. Therefore, there is.generally
a difference of 8"to 20" between the length and width dimensions in the installation guide and those of the permit plans in
most cases (see the Latham fiberglass pool specification document for inside-and outside dimensions for each model). Overall
length and width measurements may vary up to 3%0. Depending on the customer and the local building inspector, this fact can
be a critical consideration. Distances between the water's edge to most property lines, electrical lines, and other structures
such as houses,garages,sheds and patios must be within plan specifications.
Start by laying out the pool template or with a 14'wide by 33'long rectangle with diagonal measurements'of 35'-10" Next,layout the
center point,making sure the center lines are at 90 degrees.Stake each point around the perimeter of-the pool as shown in Figure 1.
Connect each stake with string.Denote the location of the skimmer with a 2'x2'box outside of the pool layout.Use spray paint to follow
the contour of the string.The outline will be the shape of the outside dimensions of the pool shell.Remove the string and stakes,leaving
only the outline of the pool.Be sure to mark tanning ledge location,if any.
NOTE: Latham Pool Products offers yard. templates for each pool model offered. The yard templates are reusable and are the
dimensions of the shell. If using a yard template, simply lay the template out in the yard where the pool is to be set and paint
a line on the edge of the template.Check price and availabilty. The template order form can be found in the Dealer Manual.

Step 3. ELEVATION
Elevation and grade of the pool area are two of the most often overlooked or miscalculated variables in the installation process.
While considering all the variables concerning elevation and grade, always remember that you want water to run away from the
pool.Before excavation,use the provided Form 1 -INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE to calculate all critical measurements.
Check the four corners of the pool layout with the aid of a laser level .or a sight level to determine the highest corner.
This corner will be used in planning the elevation of the pool. In a typical installation, the elevation of the pool should be 4-6
inches above the highest point of the existing grade around the pool. However, careful consideration should be given to pool
type, size and drainage of the future pool deck, as well as the elevation of.the surrounding landscape and existing structures,
patios and sidewalks.

Step 4. EXCAVATION
Correct excavation of the pool is very important. A hole that is too small can mean hours of picking and shoveling by hand. A hole that is
too large will require extra recommended backfill material, which if not dealt with properly, can result in settling or bulging of the pool.
The excavation should be dug very close to the pool size with a minimum disturbance to the unexcavated soil which will sup-
port the pool. The clearance is approximately 6" on the sides and 6" on the ends (see Figure 2). The use of an excava-
tion bucket with a grading blade attached will cause less disturbance to the soil than an excavation bucket with teeth.
NOTE: THE MEASUREMENTS PROVIDED BELOW ENABLE THE BUILDER TO SET THE SHELL WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF LEVEL. LIFT
THE SHELL AND ADJUST THE BASE AS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE LEVELNESS OF THE SHELL WITHIN THE INDUSTRY STANDARD.

Degree angle of slope(s):4.17°
The depth of the excavation is determined with the use of a transit level and grade pole. The bottom of the excavation is
over dug approximately 4"* This size pool will require approximately 35 to 40 yards of 1/2 inch cruched, washed clean an-
gular stone-or sand free of foreign material for backfill (more may be required if the excavation is significantly over-dug).
The excavation should be 15' by 34, with a total depth of approximately 3'-11" (shallow end) to approximately 5'-8" (deep
end) from the desired elevation of the pool. It can be helpful to give yourself extra room the first 6" in width and 12" in
length of the hole, to get past the coping, and allow space for the skimmer and bottom suction fittings (if any). Also, keep
in mind that the wall of our pools are tapered, usually 1" in for every 12" in depth. A place for the skimmer must also be
dug in the side of the excavation wall. The skimmer cutout should be 2' by 2' and 3' deep. See Figure 1 for.placement. Pools
with tanning ledges require the tanning ledge area excavated to the depth stated in Fig. 1 plus 4" for bedding material.
Never use excavated material as fill or backfill in the hole; the material will settle. We suggest 1/2 inch crushed, washed clean angu-
lar stone or sand free of foreign material compacted thoroughly(a plate tamper is recommended for the pool base).The fill material used
for the pool base must also be used to backfill around the sides of the pool shell.In the case of significant over excavation on the sides of
the pool or in seasonal high water or poor drainage areas, you may want to mix 10% Portland cement with the backfill for stabilization.
In order to be in compliance with Latham's recommended guidelines Latham Figure 3-' Sump Pipe Installation
requires that a permanent sump pipe(see Figure 3)be installed on all pools.
A gravity fed"daylight drain"is preferred to a permanent sump pipe instal- SKIMMER LID

drain) is to provide a means of checking for groundwater around the pool

Step 5. PREPARATION OF THE BOTTOM SURFACE OF THE EXCAVATION
The preparation of the excavation bottom is critical so the pool will fit properly.Thorough preparation will reduce settling, stress cracks and a
minimize the amount of time will be spent setting and leveling the pool.
First,install the 2"x4"master screed rail(s)length wise in the excavation,using wood or metal stakes(See Figure4).Make sure the diagonal measure-
mentisexactto insurethatthebottom is square.Adjustthe masterscreed rail(s)to the appropriate heightusing atransitlevel(See Figure2).Next,install
the remaining screed rail(s)parallel to the master screed rail(s)using the offset dimensions as shown in Figure 4 and making sure that they are aligned
to the Master screed rail(s)to insure that the bottom is square.Next,spread a layer of fill material approximately 4"deep evenly over the bottom ofthe
excavation.Rakethefill material flat tothetop of the screed rails(See Figure 3).Compaction ofthefill material is generally achieved byscreeding it into
place,but depths of greaterthan 4"will require use of a plate tamper.Rake and compact the area until a stable base for the shell is achieved.Screed the

Step 6. SETTING THE POOL
Upon arrivaWelivery of your pool shell, be sure to inspect the pool for damage that may have occurred during transportation
and for conformity to order specifications. The recommended method of setting the pool shell is by making use of a crane or
boom truck. A track-mounted excavator can be used to lower the pool into the excavation, but directions should be obtained
from Latham prior to setting the shell. Please note that Latham recommends lifting all pool models over 12'wide with a spreader
bar and 20'lifting straps. Once the pool is set in the excavation, the pool should be checked for level and the bottom should be
walked over to detect any voids in the fill material that might be present.
The pool is then lifted and reset as many times as necessary to achieve a "good fit:'A good fit is realized by raking the surface
of the fill material in order to see where the pool's perimeter is touching (footprint) and by walking around on the inside of the
pool to detect low spots. It is normal to feel a.slight void under the center of the pool, but walking in the pool should cause
the floor to rest on the bed of fill material.The pool shell will conform to the base material under the weight of the water. It is
important to make certain that the bottom, perimeter, and all transition points are sitting firmly upon the bed of fill material.The
pool can be separated from the lifting equipment when the entire perimeter of the pool (including all transitions) is level within
the industry guidelines.
6
A properly prepared hole should not require the filling of large voids beneath the pool. Blindly adding fill material beneath a pool
can cause more harm than good. It is important that any adjustments to the pool's elevation be made before water is added. If
the hole was properly prepared,nothing more than a few minor adjustments should be needed.
LIFTS SHOULD BE PERFORMED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STANDARDS SUCH AS OSHA AND
ASME. SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE ARE LISTED BELOW. THIS IS NOT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE LIST
AND OTHER REGULATIONS WHICH MAY APPLY DEPENDING HOW LIFT IS PERFORMED AND EQUIPMENT USED.
ASME B30.5 OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 OSHA 29 CFR 1910.179 OSHA 29 CFR 1910.180 OSHA 29 CFR 1926.753
IT IS THE RECIPIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROPERLY ASSESS THE SITUATION AND ACCOUNT FOR VARIABLES SUCH AS,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO WEATHER, EQUIPMENT CONDITION, LOCAL REGULATIONS, ETC. BEFORE OFFLOADING CAN OC-
CUR. ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE LIFTING OF THE POOL SHELL IS THE RECIPIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BEAR
Step 7. WATER AND RACKFILL
As backfill material is initially placed around the pool shell, care should be taken to ensure that the wall-floor and step-floor ra-
diuses are tightly packed with fill material, his process is referred to as "locking in"the shell. Once the pool shell is "locked in,
the fill/backfill process can continue. It is very important that the radiuses of the pool are properly compacted. Poorly packed
radiuses can result in hairline cracks and/or structural cracks due to deflection.Be sure to backfill slowly and thoroughly.
Begin by filling the pool with 12"of water(measured at the deep end of
the pool) and then while continuing to fill with water, maintain the level Figure 5 -Backfill Detail
of the backfill material to be approximately 6" below the level of the
214 LEVER
water. As the water approaches the shallow end, pay particular atten- ASSEMBLY
tion to all the unsupported areas of the pool. Steps and benches tend
to flex, so slight adjustments may need to be made with the levering FIBERGLASS
POOL SHELL
device. Be sure you wait until a sufficient amount of water surrounds
the area (usually 12") to keep the rest of the pool in place, or you may

,too much backfill has preceded the water in the pool, or outward if too

Latham recommends either a shallow dig under large steps, tanning
ledges, and some seats (Figure 6) or in the event of an over-dig, the e^
installation of concrete masonry unit (CMU) piers placed under the
steps, integral tanning ledges and/or swim outs, and some seats may
be needed(Figure 7).

Blocking the steps is performed after the pool shell has been set within level and water reaches the tread of the next to last step tread
(2nd from floor).When installing CMU piers,start by placing a 1-1/2"capstone block on the base material.On top of the capstone block,
stack CMU's(cinder blocks)until they reach a point just under the outermost edge of the top step,tanning ledge or beam of the shell.
Since the step area of the pool shell is often lower than the rest of the shell,jack the step package up using a bottle jack and a section
of 2"x 6"lumber under the outside radius of the top step(where the top tread meets the top riser).Jack the steps to be level with the
rest of the beam of the shell.Shim the gap between the top CMU and the bottom of the tread/riser radius with another capstone block
and/or'/4"concrete backer board.When the bottlejack is released,the pool shell should be level within industry guidelines.Bottlejacks
should be removed from the job site once the piers are in place.Do not leave bottle jacks or organic material,such as wood under the
pool shell for support.Properly placed piers should be 1/2 under the step of the shell,with the remaining portion of the top block/shim
remaining outside the step/riser tread(See Figure 7 for detailed drawing of properly placed piers). Do not place piers completely under
the top step or tanning ledge(swimout)as stress will be transferred to the radius between the horizontal and vertical surfaces resulting
in stress fractures.
Step 8. PLUMBING
A basic swimming pool circulation system is relatively simple in operation.Water in the pool is drawn through the skimmer to the
pump, which pushes it through the filter and back to the pool via the returns. See Figure 8 for a basic filtering system diagram.
More advanced filtering systems may include sanitizers, jets, blowers, automatic pool cleaners, etc. Latham recommends the
use of 2; schedule 40 PVC plumbing on most pools. The plumbing system must be designed to comply with ANSI/APSP-7
STANDARD FOR SUCTION ENTRAPMENT AVOIDANCE IN POOLS AND SPAS (latest revision). Visually inspect and pressure test all
plumbing installed at the factory upon the delivery of the pool and during the backfill process.
Latham Pool Products suggests placing the equipment slightly above the elevation of the pool.If the equipment is placed below the
water level,check valves or shut off valves must be installed to prevent accidental siphoning of the pool.The equipment becomes less
efficient the greater the distance away from the pool.Check all connections for leaks and proper circulation before covering them.Local
building codes may require pressure testing of the plumbing system before the installation is complete.
For alternative recirculation systems refer to the Latham Fiberglass engineering sheets

Step 9. ELECTRICAL
If the installer or homeowner is not qualified to do electrical work, an licensed electrician should be hired and a building of-
ficial should inspect the work. All electrical work should be done to National Electric Code specifications and any local codes.
Latham will not be held responsible for any electrical work.

Step 10. POURING CONCRETE
A standard cantilevered deck, as shown in Figure 9, requires that forms be placed on the inside perimeter of the pool.These forms are at-
tached to the pool beam using double-sided tape.The forms are then held in place using supplied wire ties and screws. Cantilever forms are
typically installed on the same day of the concrete pour.The backfill should be removed from the top 8 inches around the pool perimeter to a
width of approximately 10 inches. In areas of sandy soil conditions,the material is typically removed just prior to pouring the deck.Care should
be taken that the concrete is worked into the area under the beam of the shell so that air voids are minimized. If desired, 3/4"holes may be
drilled every 36"to aid bleeding air. Rebar or wire mesh should be used in the concrete deck. For decks using pavers, as shown in Figure 10,
the concrete deck should be poured up to approximately 1/4"of the top of the pool beam. Deck should fall '/4"per 12 inches of horizontal deck
to allow any surface water to be drained away from the pool.
Half inch holes may be drilled into the outside edge of the pool beam of the pool every 3.Two foot lengths-of 3/8"pre bent rebar are placed in
each hole (see Figures 9 and 10).This will ensure a bonding or anchoring effect on the sides of the pool.The walkway may also be reinforced
with 6" No. 10 wire mesh or No. 3 rebar on 2'centers (see Figures 9 and 10). It is advisable to use a lifting chair/shoe/dobie to elevate the
wire mesh and/or rebar to ensure this reinforcement is centered in the depth of the pour. Concrete should be poured at least 3'around the
perimeter of the pool to divert the water away from the excavation cavity.The typical thickness of a concrete deck around the pool is 4 inches.
Latham will not be held responsible for any concrete work,cracking,or any other failure.in deck installation.
In all climates 6"-8"of 1/2 clean gravel is recommended under the concrete deck.

POOL SHELL
To be in compliance with Latham's installation practices and procedures,all Latham fiberglass pool shells must be installed using the materials noted in the
Latham Installation Guides. Pools that are not installed using these materials are not in compliance and therefore any damage that occurs due to the use
of improper materials is not covered by the Latham Limited Lifetime Warranty. The most recent Latham Installation Guide supersedes any and all previous
Latham Installation Guides,conversations, emails, etc. If a situation presents itself on a jobsite that is outside of the scope of the methods, practices, pro-
cedures and materials specified in the Latham Installation Guide and requires the consultation and/or design of an independent expert(geotechnical engi-
neer, structural engineer, etc.), the Builder and the independent expert assume all liability and responsibility for the structural integrity of the pool shell.
