Professional Setting Instructions for Pool Curbing

It is highly recommend that you get the help of a contractor with installing these water pools. We sell the parts, but cant offer more instructions than you will read here. Your local contractor will be the best resource for advice and help. Ensure that this project is in compliance with your local codes.

You can pour a concrete slab (with footings to code) and put the curbing around it, do a simple water-proofing job so that it is water tight and you then have a pool.

Before proceeding to build your fountain, you should check with your local building inspector. Make sure you attend to all building code details before you begin.

If the submersible pump and lights are to be installed, the electricity is distributed through an underwater junction box equipped with cord seals.

POOL CURBING SETTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare wood wedges 4" long tapering 0" - 1".
2. Layout pool full size on concrete pad if necessary.
3. Place all curbing pieces in their places on 3 or 4 wedges each allowing for grout space between and under sections.
4. Set up (tripod mounted) builders level and level all sections perfectly. (Remember that later the water will tell whether or not you did this step well.)
5. Grout joints with mortar. A suggestion is to use a type of Latex additive designed for submerged work. Also use a light colored fairly fine sand so the joints blend well with the castings. Be careful not to smear the mortar over the finished surfaces of the curbing. When grouting is complete waterproof according to local custom or available materials.
