Installing your TidalFit is a great first step in
improving your health.
The TidalFit's pressure-treated frame gives you the freedom to
install your exercise pool in a variety of ways, including in-ground
and aboveground. If you decide to move, you can take your TidalFit
with you. The TidalFit is portable and self-standing.
TidalFit pools are versatile
- Indoor, Outdoor, Above Ground, Semi-Inground
- Low maintenance, insulated and heated
- Custom colors, steps and options
TidalFit's basic installation requirements*
- Place your TidalFit on a surface that is large enough for the
entire TidalFit. Consider the space needed to easily access
equipment compartments
and circuit breakers. Remember, all electronics must be kept dry.
- The TidalFit must be on a solid, level foundation.
Recommended: 4
inches of cement slab that has cured for at least 72 hours. Your
warranty
will be voided if the TidalFit is not properly installed.
Structural damage
due to an improper foundation is not covered under warranty.
- To avoid potential water damage to the skirt and frame, your
TidalFit
should be placed on a site where it will not be in the way of
water sprinklers.
- OUTDOOR POOL: Consider building codes, electrical and
plumbing
codes, desired proximity to house, wind and sun exposure,
location of
trees (falling leaves, shade), dressing area, landscaping and
lighting when
selecting a location.
- INDOOR POOL: Floor surface must have traction to prevent
slipping
when wet. A floor drain is optimum. As room humidity will
increase because
of the spa, provide ample ventilation to prevent dry rot, mildew
and
mold. Use materials that will withstand humidity. There may be a
need for
cross-ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers. The spa chemicals
may corrode
some household metals. Provide ample room in case your TidalFit
should require service. Strong foundational support is vital,
particularly if a second-story
site is selected.
- Ensure the equipment compartment is in a location where it
will not
be damaged by water drainage. Cover the equipment compartment
with
a heavy screen if rodents are a problem. Damage due to rodents
is not
covered under warranty.
- Have the pool deck installed by a knowledgeable contractor to
ensure
proper support.
- If the TidalFit is placed on the ground, even for a short
period of time,
it must be supported by stones that are at least 2 inches thick
and 12
inches square. A solid foundation is recommended as soon as
possible.
Basic installation of semi-inground TidalFit
Dry Weight...............2,000 lbs
Filled Weight.........16,303 lbs
Volume.....................1,715 gl
Deminsions...........168" x 91" x 52"
1) The depth of the dig will
vary based upon the terrain or slope.
|
2) Place one bag of ice
in each corner and one in the middle of each long side. This
will allow you to remove the straps once the spa is in position.
|
3) Crane the swim spa into position.
*Note the dry weight is 2,000 lbs.
4) Allow the ice to melt before back filling with gravel.
|
5) In a flat application, use gravel
NOT dirt. Dirt requires compacting which will create unruly
pressure on the spa. Gravel gives 98% compaction by pouring
alone. After the gravel is completed, pour your concrete
decking. If a wooden deck is being built, there is no need for
backfill except to keep the ground from eroding around the spa.
|
* Please note that the recommendations presented
above are only suggestions and cannot replace advice or service
provided by a licensed contractor. Every TidalFit must be installed
by a licensed contractor in accordance with laws and regulations.
Failure to follow the proper installation instructions may result in
warranty voidance. |
