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 wrin-
kle-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 “clips” on to the top straight
tube (Part B) as shown in Step 18. The Swim Unit should be
centered along the end of the pool.
16. The hydraulic hoses can be simply left hanging over the top of
the pool wall to run back to the Power Unit, or they can be fed
through the pool wall as described in Steps 17 & 18. Attach
the bond wire to the nearest supporting strut (Part G) using the
provided self-drilling / self-tapping screw to bond the Swim
Unit to the pool’s structural frame.
(NOTE: Steps 17 & 18 are optional, skip to Step 19 if choosing
not to feed hoses through the pool wall)
17. If a more finished look is desired, four rubber grommets have
been provided to fit into holes that can be cut into the top
white section of the liner. Once the Fastlane Swim Unit has
been properly placed in the pool and is centered along the
width of the pool, locate the holes through which the hydraulic
lines will run. Using a permanent marker (while outside the
pool and along the exposed side of the acrylic hanger), dot the
liner with two marks, each being 1-1/2” away from the verti-
cal edges of the hanger (away from center) and 3” down from
the top of the pool. Place a rubber grommet over the marks so
that they are centered in the grommet openings. Trace the
INSIDE of the grommets onto the liner. Using a utility knife
with a sharp blade, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY cut out the
traced circles. Refer to photo in Step 18 to verify hole loca-
tion before cutting. NOTE: Cutting small curves or a circle
with a utility knife can be difficult. It may be best to work in
many small straight cuts for accuracy.
18. Push the grommets into the holes so that the fabric edges tuck
inside the grooves of the grommets. Repeat this process again
for two more holes inside the pool. NOTE: When complete,
the hydraulic hoses and bonding wire will be passing through
two 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 fab-
ric as shown in the photo below.
19. Install the top cover of the Swim Unit Housing using six 3/4”
stainless steel screws (three screws on each side).
20. Run the hydraulic hoses back to the Hydraulic Power Unit.
Using the provided bonding lug and self-drilling / self-tapping
screw, fasten the bonding lug to the bottom of the same strut
used in Step 16 (when the Fastlane Swim Unit was bonded to
the pool’s structural frame). To bond the Fastlane Swim Unit
and Fastlane Pool structure to the rest of the pool equipment,
run a #8 AWG bare copper wire from the bonding lug (that
was just attached) to the rest of the Water Quality System
equipment and Hydraulic Power Unit. Always be sure to ver-
ify any additional bonding requirements that may be dictated
by local codes and ordinances.
