IMPORTANT: A number of very important items that are essential for the safe use of your pool may not be visible in many of the photographs, either because of perspective or camera angle, or because they were removed for photographic purposes. These items include: 1. Safety ropes, which should remain in place at all times; 2. No Diving signs, which are provided and should be installed in accordance with instructions included on the coping or liner, where they are clearly visible; 3. An area sign is provided and must be permanently and conspicuously affixed in the pool area where all users can see it; 4. Necessary means of exit and entry into the pool; 5. Fencing with a self-latching gate, and other barriers that can assist in preventing unsupervised access to the pool by children; 6. Approved drain covers and other devices to protect against suction entrapment; 7. Minimum required inlets and returns to ensure proper water circulation; 8. Appropriate inpool lighting if the pool will be used after dark. All of these devices should be installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, ANSI/NSPI or ANSI/APSP standards, as well as state and local statutes and codes. Diving boards and slides require minimum depths and distances and must only be installed and used in strict compliance with the equipment manufacturers specifications and ANSI/NSPI or ANSI/APSP standards. If the pool is labeled by us as NON-DIVING, then diving equipment may not be installed and any such equipment must be removed before the pool is used. Smart pool owners always think safety first. They take specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible use of their pool. They also: ensure that their pool is never used unless there is adequate supervision; ensure that their pool is kept in good repair and is not used when there is a missing or broken drain cover or other component; ensure that ALL CHILDREN using their pool are supervised constantly; ensure that anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs or stimulants that would impair their abilities or judgement does not use the pool; ensure that their pool is protected by appropriate barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing with self latching gates, covers, alarms, etc. To assist you, a number of very important items of safety literature are included with each pool. We must insist that you read each item carefully and follow its instructions. These are: Pool Owners Safety Handbook Notice Card APSP Sensible Way Book Vinyl Swimming Pool LinerWarranty Children Arent Waterproof Book No Diving Labels Plaque Make sure your builder supplies you with all of the safety information that accompanies your pool and installs the enclosed warning stickers and area sign where they can be clearly visible to all who use the pool.

Things to Consider When Planning Your Pool
financing and stretch your payments out over a longer term often a monthly pool payment can be lower than a monthly car payment! Talk with your builder about what financing options are available. Also, maybe you dont have the funds to do a huge water feature or lighting system right now. But if you think you might want it in the future, tell your builder. Its much easier to plan for future plumbing and electrical needs upfront and work them into the design than to try and go backwards later on. STRONG SUPPORT DEALER PAGE 5

Think about how your pool will be used. If youre looking for fitness and exercise and have limited space, maybe a Lap Pool is just the ticket, or a 48" deep sport pool. If you want to use your pool as an entertainment centerpiece, maybe a larger Rectangle or True-L shape will work best. Want to invoke a more natural scene in your yard? Go for a Lagoon, Mountain Lake, Riviera or San Luis Rey design. Take a look at the variety of standard shapes available from Fort Wayne Pools or dream up your own and then visit your local Strong Support dealer to turn your ideas into reality.

A wall of strength
The wall panels and braces make up the primary components of the Elite wall system. Made of structural polymer like that used in sports equipment and army tanks, the polymer wall panels have unrivaled strength. The design of the wall panels, in addition to the polymer material itself, also contributes to that durability. Vertical, horizontal and diagonal ribs are built into the back of each wall panel, and the Polymer Pool has three times the ribbing compared with competitors panels. Our pool system is engineered so that all the components fit together perfectly.

The Story of Fort Wayne Pools is a Story of Firsts! Put Safety First
Smart swimming pool owners always THINK SAFETY FIRST. They take specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible use of their pool. They also always ensure that: their pool is never used unless there is adequate supervision; their pool is kept in good repair and is not used when there is a missing or broken drain cover or other component; ALL CHILDREN using their pool are supervised constantly; anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs or stimulants that impair their judgment abilities does not use the pool; their pool is protected by appropriate barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing with self-latching gates, safety covers, alarms, etc. At Fort Wayne Pools, we encourage you to talk with all members of your family about pool safety, and we promote a feet first approach to entering your pool. Fort Wayne Pools supplies each new pool owner with a number of very important items of safety literature, and we strongly encourage you to read each item carefully. For more swimming pool safety information, visit the Safety Resources for Consumers and Kids Safety on the internet.
