DIAGRAM #1: SUPPORTING LEGS / STRUTS 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 the pool will be assembled on a sloping surface, be sure to install the skimmer on the lower side to ensure that it will not suck air into the pump.
Longer (9' x 17') Fastlane Pool 4. Connect the top tubes (Parts B and C) together. NOTE: The shorter tube (Part C) is always the last tube on the right when facing the pool wall. (Refer to Diagram #2: Wider Straight Tube Layout.) 5. Feed the connected top tubes (Parts B and C) into the corresponding sleeves of the liner. Be sure to align the top tube slots with the matching cutouts in the liner, and then insert the corresponding struts (Part G) into the top tube slots.
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 box numbers 10, 11 and 13 (Refer to section titled, RECEIVING THE FASTLANE POOL). Remove and verify all hardware kits from inside.
and the six 10-32 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 second screw in the grab rail. NOTE: Do not over-tighten. 7. Run the hydraulic hose up the back of the Swim Unit Housing so that the PVC hydraulic hose protective channel will cover the hose. Firmly secure but do NOT over tighten the eight stainless screws per channel.
13. Re-install the throat that was removed previously in Step 4. 14. 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 liner is taught and wrinkle-free, carefully lift the assembled Fastlane Swim Unit into the pool at the skimmer end.
SKIMMER ASSEMBLY 1. Align the skimmer opening with the opening in the housing. Use the hardware provided with the skimmer to attach the skimmer to the housing. Make sure to use the skimmer faceplate when attaching the skimmer. 5. Once the skimmer assembly is complete, place it inside the pool in the same corner as the lower thru-wall fitting. (front right) 6. Use the provided drill bit and self-tapping screws to attach the skimmer assembly to the top tube of the pool.
• Outside the pool, thread in the male portion of the street elbow (#6) into the tailpiece of the thru-wall fitting (#8). • From inside the pool, thread the eyeball fitting into the thru-wall fitting (#8). Point the eyeball towards the bottom of the pool for optimal water circulation in the Fastlane Pool.
the pump foot. Use the provided screws to clamp the pump on the power unit handle. Attach the pump union nuts to both fittings of the pump. Make sure that the o-rings are in place before attaching the union fittings. Glue a male slip x female slip street elbow into the pressure fitting of the pump so that it is facing away from the power unit. Cut two 2-1/2” lengths of flexible PVC off of the 50’ roll of flexible PVC that was provided.
FASTLANE POOL EQUIPMENT HUTCH ASSEMBLY 1. Begin by attaching the PVC support (B) to the underside of the lid (A). Two supports have been provided and are labeled. One support will be for a 60hz power supply and one support will be for a 50hz power supply. Choose the support that is appropriate for your application. If you are unsure which power supply you have, refer to the specification plate on the motor. Next, take the 4-1/4” long piece and glue a slip x slip 90º elbow onto one end.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONNECTIONS (60Hz) 2. Connect the whip, provided with the heater controller, between the unused knockout in the power unit controller and the knockout in the top left of the heater controller. Consider the electrical requirements for the specific installation before locating the Water Quality System and gluing the plumbing parts. Different option packages require different plumbing and electrical configurations. 3.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (50Hz) Fastlane Pool without Heater Wiring Instructions A licensed electrician should make all electrical connections. The standard package will require a two-wire (plus ground) 220 volt 30 amp RCD Power Supply. The power unit controller may have to be attached to the power unit. If not done so already, connect the power unit as directed. There are two electrical whips attached to the controller. The shorter one needs to be connected to the power unit motor.
• All low voltage accessories combined: 150 mA max, on + 12 Vdc.
Off Mode WATER TEMPERATURE This mode allows you to stop all outputs for 30 minutes to perform a quick spa maintenance. Press and hold Key 1 key for 5 secs to activate the Off mode. Quick press Key 1 key to reactivate the system before the expiration of the 30-minute delay. While the Off mode is engaged, the display will toggle between OFF and the water temperature.
USING THE FASTLANE SWIM UNIT CARING FOR THE FASTLANE POOL It is now acceptable to begin using the Fastlane Swim Unit. Remove and unwrap the two (one for use, one extra) wireless controllers from the Controller Box on the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). Press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn on the swim current. Once installed, the Fastlane Pool will provide years of swimming, exercise, training, therapy and family fun with minimal maintenance required. The Fastlane features 52 incremental steps in speed.
Daily: • Test for free chlorine after swimming, or at least a few times a week. • Add chlorine to maintain free chlorine levels between 0.5 and 1.5 ppm. • As one becomes familiar with the chlorine demand for the Fastlane Pool, the amount of chlorine needed to maintain the residual at a minimum level of 0.5 ppm will likely become second nature, and frequency of needing to test chlorine levels will likely decrease. Weekly • Check and adjust the water level.

2) Using the provided 2" deck screws, attach the third 8'-11" cedar plank to the top of the two planks that are already attached to the pool frame so that the top edge of this third plank is flush with the top of the pool. tener per strut. The fastener should be drilled through the plank and into the strut one inch from the bottom of the plank so that the top edge of the plank should is flush with the top of the pool.
making sure the ends of the top plank line up with the ends of the vertical plank. The top plank should overhang into the pool enough so that its back edge completely covers the vertical should line up with the ends of that 8'-11" plank as well. Use the 2" deck screws to secure these horizontal top planks to the vertical planks on which they rest.
7) In order to best accommodate the ladder, create a notch measuring 22 1/2" long and 2 1/2" deep in the center (or in a preferred ladder location) of the final 8'-11" cedar plank. Do not discard this piece that has been cut out, as it will be later used to help attach the ladder to the pool deck. 9) Using the scrap cedar plank material from when the original planks were cut, place one end of the drop-off against the edges of cedar planks at the front (right and left) corners of the pool.
brackets and lag bolts (to be installed in a future step) will have a rigid surface to mount against and bite into, allowing the cover roller to function properly. the front corners of the pool. Repeat for the other side, and use the 2" deck screws to attach these pieces to the front corners of the pool.
2) Place the notch cutout piece (saved from Step 7 of Building the Deck) on the horizontal deck plank at the rear of the pool so that the outside edge of the piece is flush with the outside edge of the plank, and the middle of the piece is centered within the edges of the previously made cutout. Use two of the 2" deck screws to attach the notch cutout piece to the rear plank, being careful that the tip of the screw does not touch the pool fabric and that it does not damage the top rail of the pool frame.
2) Install the track splice between the adjoining tracks. Slide the plate into the extrusion end of both tracks before placing the second track on the deck. Two extra splice plates have been included for the longer Fastlane Pool to help secure the extra 2'-2" long cover track extrusions. 4) Slide the hub into the end of the 3" PVC pipe and attach the hub to the pipe using the self tapping screw that was provided with the rocky roller kit. Slide the black plastic bushing over the hub end.
7) Repeat the process for the other end of the pipe, but install the white knob instead of the handle. 8) Place the roller assembly onto the front of the pool so that the foot of the roller bracket is aligned with the top edge of the vertical cedar plank. Using the oval slots in the foot of the roller bracket, mark the plank for pre-drilling the lag bolt holes into the wood. 6) Slide the handle over the hub and secure it to the hub using the 5/16" bolt and washer.
11) Unfold the cover fabric so that the Cover Pools label is facing up. There is a beaded edge on three sides of the fabric; two long sides and an end. Slide the leading edge onto the end bead so that the eye hooks on the leading edge are angled up. Center the leading edge on the fabric and secure by threading a 1/2" pan head screw into the bead through one of the predrilled holes in the leading edge at each end. 10) Now repeat the process at the other end of the pool for the other anchor bracket.
way across the pool. Replace the black end guide top half. If necessary, dry silicone can be used to lubricate the track in which the cover slides. This will make the operation of the cover easier. OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS For outdoor installations, place the cover pump on top of the cover. Attach a garden hose to the water outlet and leave the pump plugged into a GFCI outlet. The pump will turn itself on automatically when the level of water on the cover is sufficient to satisfy the internal float level.
