DECK ANCHOR INSTALLATION
The optimal mounting distance for the deck anchor is between 12 and 18 inches
from the edge of the pool. The aXs is designed to be used with simple pool edge
designs without protruding gutters. Please call RehaMed International with any
questions concerning deck anchor placement or if the aXs will work in your
installation.
Concrete Pool Decks
The deck anchor should be totally encapsulated in
concrete. Make sure that there are no air pockets or
empty space around the anchor.
Follow these suggestions to make sure your anchor
is installed properly:
• Determine the proper location to install the
anchor.
• Use a core drill to drill a hole, between 5 and 6 inches in diameter, into the
concrete deck. Be 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 completely encapsulated in cement.
• Clean all debris from the hole.
• Place the anchor into the hole. Be sure that the anchor is plumb and the
top of the anchor is flush with the surface of the deck.
• Fill the cavity with anchoring cement. Be careful to keep the cement out of
the sleeve.
• Allow the cement to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Wooden Decks
The aXs can also be used with a wooden pool deck, however this type of installation
will require a special anchor. Since this anchor will need to be fabricated to match
the design of the deck, the design and installation will likely be different for each
deck.
Please contact RehaMed International and we can work with you to gather the
necessary information for fabricating this custom anchor.
