" Select a location that receives maximum sunlight for increased heat and extended use. " Select a location with as little wind exposure as possible to minimize heat loss. " Be aware of the amount of trees and shrubbery around your pool to limit the amount of debris. " Select a location with accessibility to water and electric sources. " Consider privacy when selecting a location.

3 P5/8/08 Page 3 of 26 GROUND PREPARATION The surface the Fastlane Pool is to be assembled on must be firm and level. The Fastlane Pool must be installed as level as possible, within 2-3 of level (from the highest point to the lowest point of the pool). If you are going to be 2 3 off level, be sure to install the skimmer on the lower side to ensure your skimmer will not suck air into the pump. If the ground is not level, take the earth from the high side of the surface; do not add earth to the lower area of the surface. Once the surface is level, clear any debris or sharp objects that may be uncomfortable to walk on or could potentially puncture the liner. A foam flooring may be added under the liner for additional comfort. The supporting legs (Strut-G shown below) burden much of the weight of the Fastlane Pool and may need additional support in soft ground installations, or in areas that may experience excess ground water. A 2 x 8 x 22 piece of lumber installed under each support leg and leveled with the ground is very effective. Make sure the entire base of each leg (Strut G) is on the 2 x 8 lumber as any over-hang may result in bending of the leg. A concrete slab (not a paver) of the similar dimensions may be used as well. Please note that any support(s) added under the pool structure must be sunk so that the top of the support is level with the ground surface. Lifting the struts or frame in any manner may cause excessive stress on the liner and frame, and may void the Fastlane Pool warranty. (Refer to Diagram #1: Supporting Legs.) DIAGRAM #1: SUPPORTING LEGS POOL ASSEMBLY Your pool is comprised of various parts. Therefore, before proceeding with installation, ensure that all necessary parts are present and group like parts together. Part Description Quantity (A) Liner 1 (B) Top 130 cm straight tubes (wider) 8 (C) Top 60 cm straight tubes (wider) 4 (D) Top corner tubes (wider) 4 (E) Bottom corner tubes (thinner) 4 (F) Straight bottom tubes (thinner) 8

When the Fastlane Pool is fully assembled, you will be swimming towards the skimmer, so plan accordingly 2. Align the struts (G) with the prepared cut outs at top of liner. C Skimmer Pocket 3. Connect bottom tubes (F) to struts (G) one at a time to make the four (4) sides of your pool. Connect corner tubes (E) to open end of both struts (G) to finish each of the four (4) corners.

5 P5/8/08 Page 5 of Connect the (B) and the (C) tubes together. NOTE: The (C) tube (shorter, wider tube) is always the last tube on the right when facing the pool wall. (Refer to Diagram #2: Wider Straight Tube Layout) DIAGRAM #2: WIDER STRAIGHT TUBE LAYOUT D C B 5. Feed the connected tubes into the corresponding sleeves of the liner. Remember to align the top rail slots with the matching cutouts in the liner. Align slots in the top rail with corresponding struts (G) and insert.

6 P5/8/08 Page 6 of Insert and connect the top corner tubes (D). It may be helpful to insert both ends of corner tube (D) into the corresponding liner sleeves, followed by pulling back and connecting one side at a time to top rail. 7. Ensure all tubes completely nested in one another, connected correctly and that the struts are perfectly aligned. 8. Slowly begin to fill the pool with water until the bottom of the liner is taught. Remove any wrinkles in the pool liner as this time as it will be difficult to do once the pool is full. 9. To prevent leaking issues, it is very important to plumb and plug both through walls before the water level reaches the two pre-cut holes in the liner. For more information, refer to the section in this Owners Manual titled, WATER QUALITY SYSTEM, SKIMMER & THRU-WALL FITTINGS (starting on Page11). 10. Once these holes have been plugged, assemble the Fastlane Swim Unit.

7 P5/8/08 Page 7 of 26 FASTLANE SWIM UNIT ASSEMBLY 1. Verify that all items have arrived. NOTE: If using a power drill, do NOT over tighten the screws, as this will strip the thread in the PVC of the Fastlane Swim Unit. 2. Carefully unpack the Swim Unit Housing, Swim Unit Base and its components from boxes 11, 12 and 14 as noted above. Remove and verify all hardware kits from inside. Close the boxes and flip them upside down on the ground to use as a workbench or collapse the boxes and use as a smooth surface to protect the components from scratching. 3. Turn the Swim Unit Housing upside down on the box or another smooth surface. Remove the block of wood by removing the screws that attach the wood to the Swim Unit Housing. The wood is for packaging purposes only and may be discarded. 4. Remove the screws on the two sides and the front of the Swim Unit Housing that secure the throat. Set the throat and the screws aside to be used in Step Set the Swim Unit Base on the cardboard box with the cylinder facing up. Lay the hydraulic hoses that come pre-attached to the Swim Unit Base to each side so that they are out of the way. Flip the Swim Unit Housing over and set on top of the Swim Unit Base. Secure the Swim Unit Base to the Swim Unit Housing by using six (6) of the 3/4 stainless steel screws provided (three screws on each side. NOTE: Do not over-tighten. 6. Carefully feed the bond wire that is attached to the Swim Unit Base up through the horizontal honeycomb grill located in the bottom of the Swim Unit Housing and up through the turning vanes. Install the grab rail using six (6) 3/4 stainless steel screws and the six (6) stainless steel lock nuts provided. Secure the bond wire that has been fed up through the turning vanes under one of the six screws. Secure the other bond wire that has been pre-installed in the Swim Unit Housing under a 2 nd screw in the grab rail. NOTE: Do not over-tighten.

8 P5/8/08 Page 8 of Run the hydraulic hose up the back of the Swim Unit Housing so that the PVC hat channel will cover the hose. Firmly secure, but do NOT over tighten, the eight (8) stainless screws per hat channel. Repeat for the second hose. 8. Once both hat channels are attached, pull the two hydraulic hoses tight and secure them to the top of the Swim Unit Housing using the green hose clamps provided. To accomplish this, unscrew the green hose clamps, insert the hoses, and re-screw snugly into the top of the Swim Unit Housing. Locate the bonding wire attached to the grab rail and run back along one of the hydraulic hoses. 9. Attach the acrylic hanging bracket to the back of the Swim Unit Housing with four (4) of the eight (8) stainless steel screws provided. NOTE: Do not over-tighten. Leave the two top screw holes unused.

9 P5/8/08 Page 9 of Attach the top bumper piece (length of PVC pipe) to the Swim Unit Housing through the unused screw holes (top holes from Step 9) in the acrylic hanging bracket using two (2) of the eight (8) stainless steel screws provided in Step 9. NOTE: Do not over-tighten. 11. Attach the lower extension bumper (length of PVC pipe) to the rear of the Swim Unit Base using the two (2) of the eight (8) stainless steel screws remaining from Step 9. NOTE: Do not over-tighten. 12. Attach the wheels to the Swim Unit base. Slide the axle through the two holes that are marked in yellow on the intake grill in the Swim Unit base. These holes have been widened to allow the axle to pass through freely. There is a total of four (4) large and two (2) small washers used in the wheel assembly. Be sure that two large washers are located between each wheel and the intake grill on the back bottom of the Swim Unit base. Secure the wheels to the axle with one smaller washer between the screw and the wheel on each side. 13. Re-install the throat that was removed previously in Step Place the Swim Unit on the ground and roll it close to the Fastlane Pool location for installation. Be careful not to tip over the Swim Unit, as it is front-heavy. 15. Once the pool is nearly full and the pool liner is taught and wrinkle-free, carefully lift the assembled Fastlane Swim Unit into the pool at the skimmer end. Lower and position the Swim Unit so that the acrylic hanger is resting on the wider top 130 cm straight tube (B) as shown in the photo on the following page. It should be centered between the two end struts (G).

10 P5/8/08 Page 10 of The hydraulic hoses can be simply left hanging over the top of the pool wall and run back to the Power Unit. Tie the bonding wire to one of the end struts (G) located near the Fastlane Swim Unit to bond the Swim Unit to the pool. If you choose not to feed the hoses through the pool liner as outlined in Steps 17 & 18 below, please skip to Step 19. (NOTE: Steps 17 & 18 below are optional) 17. If a more finished look is desired, four rubber grommets have been provided to fit into holes that you can cut into the top white section of the liner. Once the Fastlane Swim Unit is placed properly in the pool centered between the end struts (G), on the outside of the pool liner, measure 1-1/2 from one side of the acrylic hanger and 3 down from the top of the pool. Make a dot with a permanent marker on the outside of the liner. Place a rubber grommet over the mark so that the mark is in the center of the grommet. Trace the INSIDE of the grommet onto the liner. Using a sharpblade utility knife, slowly and carefully cut out the traced circle. NOTE: Cutting a small circle with a utility knife can be difficult. It may be best to work in many small straight cuts for accuracy. 18. Push the grommet into the cut hole so that the fabric is inside the grooves of the grommet. Repeat this process inside the pool as well as the other side of the Fastlane. NOTE: The hydraulic hoses and bonding wire will be passing through two (2) layers of fabric. It is important to feed the hydraulic hoses and bonding wire through both grommets, starting from inside the pool and then feeding them through the outer layer of fabric as shown in the photo below. 19. Install the top cover of the Swim Unit Housing using six (6) 3/4 stainless steel screws (three screws on each side). 20. Run the hydraulic hoses back to the Power Unit and tie the bonding wire to one of the end struts (G) located near the Fastlane Swim Unit to bond the Swim Unit to the pool.

11 P5/8/08 Page 11 of 26 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Consider the electrical requirements for your particular installation before locating the Water Quality System and gluing the plumbing parts. Different option packages require different plumbing and electrical configurations. Standard Fastlane Pool package with no heater The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is shipped with two whips coming from the EP1 Controller mounted on the HPU. One whip is to be wired by an electrician from the power source into the LINE side of the contactor and is intended to supply power to the unit. The other whip is connected to the LOAD side of the contactor and is to be hard wired into the 220-volt, two-speed pump with the switch on the rear of the pump by the electrician. This pump is intended to run continuously on low speed, but can be manually switched to high speed for cleaning. The two-speed pump will run only when the Fastlane is not in use. Fastlane Pool Package with optional 5.5 kw Electric Heater The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is shipped with two whips coming from the EP1 Controller mounted on the HPU.

Put the skimmer into the pocket with the throat against the gasket. 3. Align and place the faceplate on the outside of the gasket and affix by using the provided screws. 4. Snap in weir door, add basket and push the lid into place. Only use the included skimmer plate if using a Vacuum or Suction Cleaning system. CONNECTING SKIMMER WALL FITTING (Refer to Diagram #3: Rectangle Skimmer Diagram on the following page) " Push fitting (#8) thru the wall of the pool from the inside. MAKE SURE TO USE A GASKET (#9) on both sides of the wall of the pool. Place cork ring next to the gasket outside the pool and secure the wall-fitting nut (#10) to (#8) now sticking out of the wall of the Fastlane Pool. Tighten with a large pair of channel locks. Make sure the nut is very snug but do not over-tighten, as this may crack your fitting. " Thread the male portion on the male adaptor (#3) into the bottom of the skimmer. NOTE: No glue or tape is necessary to complete this step. " Inside the pool, thread the male portion of the threaded 90 (#5) into the thru-wall fitting (#8). NOTE: No glue or tape is necessary to complete this step. " Press the connection pipe (#4) into the male adapter (#3), then press the other end of the pipe into the female end of the threaded 90 (#5). NOTE: You may have to lift slightly on skimmer to make this connection. " Outside the pool, glue the male portion of the street ell (#6) into the tailpiece of the thru-wall fitting (#8). " The provided plugs can also be threaded into the threaded end of the thru-wall fitting to prevent the pool from draining when the water quality system equipment needs maintenance. DIAGRAM #3: RECTANGLE SKIMMER DIAGRAM Thru-Wall

15 P5/8/08 Page 15 of 26 (Refer to Diagram #4: Wall Fitting Diagram) CONNECTING RETURN WALL FITTING Push fitting (#8) thru the wall of the pool from the inside. MAKE SURE TO USE A GASKET (#9) on both sides of the wall of the pool. Place cork ring next to the gasket outside the pool and secure the wall-fitting nut (#10) to (#8) now sticking out of the wall of the Fastlane Pool. Tighten with a large pair of channel locks. Make sure the nut is very snug but do not over-tighten, as this may crack your fitting. Outside the pool, glue the male portion of the street ell (#6) into the tailpiece of the thru-wall fitting (#8). Thread the eyeball fitting into the threaded end of the thru-wall fitting (#8). Point the eyeball towards the bottom of the pool for optimal water circulation in the Fastlane Pool. The provided plugs can also be threaded into the threaded end of the thru-wall fitting to prevent the pool from draining when the water quality system equipment needs maintenance. DIAGRAM #4: WALL FITTING DIAGRAM Thru-Wall Drainage Drainage needs to be provided around the pool and near the water quality equipment. It is important to be prepared in the unlikely event of a leak. It is ideal to install floor drains in the area just outside the pool (if indoors), but not directly under the pool itself. It is worth the time and effort now to install a drainage system rather than be unprepared in the event of a mishap. Pump/Filter Connector The pump/filter connector has been pre-plumbed at the factory. It is located in the circulating pump box. When installing this piece, be sure to verify that the rings have been seated properly and that you have applied Teflon to the threads of the black adapter piece that goes into the pump.

16 P5/8/08 Page 16 of 26 The Equipment Please refer to the drawings and photographs on the following pages for suggested plumbing layouts. While it is important to follow the general layout, the equipment can be laid out to suit the specific needs of your site. Please call your Endless Pool design professional if you need guidance on equipment location. Be sure to install the ball valves, hose bibb and unions in the order we have shown. Their location is important for the maintenance requirements of the system. In addition, do not locate the equipment more than one foot above or five foot below the water level. If this condition is present at your site, please call our Customer Service Department at to discuss installation. Standard Water Quality System Standard Water Quality System Plumbing

17 P5/8/08 Page 17 of 26 Optional Gas Heater/Water Quality System Optional Gas Heater/ Water Quality System Plumbing Mounting and Equipment Mount the equipment to the PVC board using the hardware supplied with the circulating pump. The two (2) 3/8 bolts are used to fasten the circulating pump using the threaded inserts already located in the base. Use the self-drilling fasteners to mount the filter tank and electric heater to the PVC board. A gas heater should not be mounted to the PVC board. Once again, please refer to the drawings and photographs above for suggested plumbing layouts.

18 P5/8/08 Page 18 of 26 Equipment Plan and Elevation The standard water quality system with electric heater requires about 4 x 5 of floor/ground space. The water quality equipment can be arranged horizontally or vertically to fit specific spaces. 36 minimum vertical clearance is required to remove the filter cartridge. As mentioned previously, suitable drainage must be provided at both the Fastlane Pool and the water quality system. All electric components must be located, installed and bonded by a licensed local electrician in accordance with applicable codes. WARNING: ALL CIRCUITS MUST BE GFI PROTECTED.

19 P5/8/08 Page 19 of 26 FASTLANE POWER UNIT ASSEMBLY Placement Considerations The Power Unit should be elevated from the ground and placed on a flat surface. If placing the Power Unit outside, it is recommended the Outdoor Power Unit with Weather Guard be purchased to protect it against the everyday elements. If placing the unit indoors at a level below the pool deck, such as a basement, a floor drain is mandatory to accommodate the unlikely event of a hole developing in one of the hydraulic run hoses creating a siphon. Whether placing indoors or outside, this is an air-cooled unit and must have ample ventilation. Therefore, a minimum of 12 of air space must be provided on all sides of the Power Unit motor. In addition, the Power Unit needs to be checked periodically for maintenance and should be easily accessible. 1. Carefully remove the Power Unit from the packaging. NOTE: The Power Unit is heavy. 2. Place the Power Unit in the selected position and verify that the hose connections are pointed in the direction you desire. 3. Connect the hydraulic hoses that either hang over the pool wall or go through the pool liner to the Power Unit. NOTE: The low-pressure hose has red tape on the end. Connect the low-pressure line to the post at the fill cap and the high-pressure line to the port with the proportional relief valve. 4. Have an electrician make the electrical connections using the whip provided. Make this connection by hard wiring to a disconnect or using an appropriate lock tight plug and socket. The Power Unit requires a single-phase 220-volt, 30 amp GFCI protected power. (Refer to Diagram #5: Power Unit Electrical Wiring.)

20 P5/8/08 Page 20 of Turn the circuit breaker to the Power Unit OFF. Fill the Power Unit with the 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid provided. NOTE: The fill cap is at the low-pressure fitting. 6. Remove the oil filter by lifting it out of the fill opening. Once filled with oil, replace the oil filter and cap and press firmly to ensure proper seating of the filter. 7. If your hydraulic hose is a sufficient length to require additional fluid, it will be included with the hydraulic run hose. In this case, fill with the full five gallons first and run the Power Unit for one minute to fill the hydraulic run hoses. Turn Power Unit off and add the additional oil. NOTE: Do not run the Power Unit without the fill cap in place. 8. Be sure to bond the Fastlane Pool and the hydraulic Power Unit by connecting a #8 or larger copper bonding wire to the bonding lug located?????? and running that wire (typically along with the hydraulic hoses) back to the hydraulic Power Unit. Any other piece of pool equipment with a bonding lug should also be bonded to the same loop as the Fastlane Pool and the hydraulic Power Unit. DIAGRAM #5: POWER UNIT ELECTRICAL WIRING

21 P5/8/08 Page 21 of 26 USING YOUR FASTLANE SWIM UNIT You are now ready to start up your Fastlane. Remove the remote from the Controller Box on the hydraulic Power Unit and unwrap it. Press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn on the Fastlane and produce a current. The Fastlane features 52 incremental steps in speed. Press and release the FASTER button to increase the speed of the current one step at a time. Alternatively, press and continue to hold the FASTER button to ramp up the speed until the button is released or the maximum speed is achieved. Reduce the speed in the same manner using the SLOWER button. Turn off the Fastlane by again pressing the ON/OFF button. Because the Fastlane remembers the speed at which it was turned off, it will return to the same speed when it is turned back on. NOTE: The circuit card on the hydraulic Power Unit is programmed to ramp the speed of the current down before completely shutting off and ramp the speed back up when turning the current it back on. The hydraulic Power Unit controller is equipped with an automatic timer shutting off the system thirty (30) minutes after receiving its last command. INSTALLING AN ANTENNA EXTENSION Your Fastlane remote control operates by radio waves. Should the hydraulic Power Unit be placed too far away from the Fastlane Pool, your remote control may not operate efficiently. To operate your Fastlane more effectively, please install the antenna remotely with the enclosed kit. A longer length of coaxial cable can be used if you move the antenna closer to your pool. Parts List " 10 length of coaxial antenna cable " Coaxial grounding block (antenna mount) Instructions " If the antenna is already installed, detach it from the upper left hand side of the Controller Box mounted on the foot of the motor. " Attach and finger-tighten the antenna cable. " Attach the coaxial grounding block (antenna mount) to the surface where the electrical disconnect box is mounted. " The antenna should be just above the height of the box so that the metal box does not block the radio waves for your remote control. NOTE: The antenna can be placed even closer to the pool by purchasing antenna cable from a local supplier. " Attach and finger-tighten the antenna to the upper end of the coaxial grounding block (antenna mount).

22 P5/8/08 Page 22 of 26 CARING FOR YOUR FASTLANE POOL Once installed, your Fastlane Pool will provide years of swimming, exercise, training, therapy and family fun with minimal maintenance. The Fastlane " Clean the intake grill of the Fastlane Swim Unit of leaves as needed. " Wipe down the stainless steel grab bar with a Scotch Brite pad and brisk rubbing. " Clean the acrylic housing with any typical non-ammonia, non-abrasive kitchen cleanser. " Periodically check all electrical and ground wire connections and test the GFI circuit breaker for proper function. " The hydraulic motor, which is located in your Swim Unit and submerged underwater, should be replaced after three years of usage. " Change the hydraulic fluid and filter in the Power Unit after every 500 hours of use. Pool Water Chemistry " It is important for the long-term operation of your Fastlane that your pool water is properly balanced and in accordance with normal, pool industry standards. " As with any swimming pool, your Fastlane Pool requires water chemistry monitoring. The Water Quality System, which includes automated re-circulating, optional heating and filtration, does most of the work for you. Balancing and maintaining your pool water is essential to the life and health of your equipment. " Maintain a minimal level of 0.5 ppm free chlorine in your pool at all times as necessary. Adding 1/2 cup of Clorox a day will add about 0.5 ppm of free chlorine to a Fastlane Pool. How quickly that chlorine is consumed will depend upon the water temperature, swimmer load and the amount of direct sunlight the pool receives. " We have provided water test strips that will help you monitor the chlorine and ph requirements of your Fastlane Pool. " If your Fastlane Pool is located outside, we recommend using the granular form of stabilized chlorine (should have an active ingredient of sodium dichlor) instead of Clorox. " Pre-dissolve all dry chemicals before putting them into the pool. Failure to do so may result in bleaching or damaging your liner. " Always have your pool running when adding chemicals, liquid or dry. " Do not leave pool filled with water without proper chemical treatment and pool maintenance. " Do not leave pool set up without being full of water. Daily: " Test for free chlorine after your swim or at least a few times a week. " Add chlorine to maintain free chlorine levels between 0.5 and 1.5 ppm. " As you become familiar with the chlorine demand for your Fastlane Pool, you will find that you may not have to test chlorine as frequently in order to maintain a minimum level of 0.5 ppm.

23 P5/8/08 Page 23 of 26 Weekly " Check and adjust the water level. The water should completely cover the honeycomb grill where the current is produced. Water 1/2 lower than this can create a choppy current and may cause your skimmer to draw air into the plumbing lines. Having the water level 1 or more higher than that honeycomb grill will cause more water to get splashed out of the pool, and may cause the air relief port on the top of the skimmer body to leak water. " Test the ph level at least twice a week. Broadcast (i.e. pour chemical into the current) ph increaser or ph decreaser to maintain levels between 7.4 and 7.8. Winterizing the Fastlane Pool " Take the Fastlane Pool down and/or re-install indoors if in an area where harsh winter weather occurs. " If you only close the pool, know that Winterizing is specific to the climate the pool is located in. Winterizing generally refers to the treatment of the water in the pool, draining below the Fastlane Swim Unit and draining your equipment, again the pool itself requires no special attention. " If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Department at " If you do choose to winterize, you must drain the Fastlane Pool below all wall fittings, Swim Unit and view ports. " When storing your pool, thoroughly clean and dry the liner and carefully roll it up. " Store your pool and Fastlane Swim Unit in a dry safe place. Always store the hard parts and the liner in separate boxes. " The hydraulic Power Unit can remain outside as well at the hydraulic run hoses as the fluid inside will not freeze. The hydraulic run hoses will need to be capped off to prevent the fluid from draining out. Disassembling the Fastlane Pool " Unhook the hydraulic hose connections at the Power Unit and cap all ends to prevent hydraulic fluid from draining. " Pull the hydraulic hoses through the grommet holes (if applicable) and lift the Fastlane Swim Unit and hanger from the pool wall. Pull Fastlane Swim Unit out of the pool carefully so as not to damage the pool liner. " Once the pool is drained, reach in each corner pocket and pull the liner away from the top rail tubes. " Once the liner is loose from the top rail, walk around the outside perimeter of the pool moving the wall back and forth to loosen the top rail and corner joints. " Begin disassembling Fastlane Pool by taking of all of the corners. " Be very careful to slowly and carefully pull the corners from the top rails. Jolting or forcing the corner out of the top rail can create a tear in the corner of the liner. " Once corners are off, lift top rails off of the legs and disassemble the remainder of the pool.
