Installing an anchor in a concrete deck – Activeforever PAL 1000 Portable Aquatic Pool Lift User Manual

Page 14

The Splash! is attached to the pool deck using any standard anchor commonly
used for starting blocks or backstroke flag stanchions. For our standard Splash!,
we recommend a standard anchor with a 1.90 inside diameter and 6 inches of
depth. For our Splash! HD or Extended Reach models, we prefer a 2 1/2”
square anchor (see photos below).

The sleeve should be totally encapsulated in concrete. Make sure there are no
air pockets or empty space around the sleeve. The optimal mounting distance
for the anchor is 18 inches from the pool’s edge. However, the design of the
Splash! allows it to be used with virtually any pool gutter configuration. To
insure proper installation, a pool site configuration worksheet is requested with
each order prior to shipping so manufacturer can build the lift to match the cus-
tomer’s specifications. If unsure of proper placement of your Splash!, contact
ActiveForever at 800-377-803.

Installing an Anchor in a Concrete Deck

Follow these suggestions to make sure that your anchor is installed properly:

1. Determine the proper location to install the lift, making certain that the

anchor location is within 18” from the pool edge.

2. Use a core drill to cut a hole into the deck. For Standard Round Anchors, be

sure the hole is at least 3 1/2 inches in diameter. For Square Anchors, be sure
your hole is at least 5 inches in diameter. Make sure the hole is at least 7
inches deep. This will likely be deeper than the deck is thick, but the depth is
important to insure that the anchor is totally encapsulated in cement.

3. Clean all debris from the hole.
4. Place the anchor into the hole. Important!! Be sure that the anchor is both

plumb and flush with the surface of the deck.

5. Mix anchoring cement, such as Rock It.
6. Fill cavity with anchoring cement. Be careful to keep cement out of the

anchor sleeve.

7. Allow the cement to cure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
