Tru Blu installation & ownership guide

Installation checklist

Use this checklist to coordinate DIY tasks, trades, delivery and handover.

Use this guide with the installation detail and equipment manuals supplied with your pool. Your site approval sets the required inspections.

Order and approval

Record model, height, finish, upgrades, written inclusions and price. Pay the 40% supply-only deposit after order acceptance; allow 6–8 weeks for production.
Record the approval pathway, certifier, site plan, barrier layout and inspection schedule. Confirm who is responsible for each task.

Locate services; complete the selected foundation, drainage and equipment area. Check the finished base is flat and provides full support.
Accept the separate freight quote and confirm access, unloading, lifting equipment and final placement responsibilities. Inspect the delivered shell and cartons.

Place and orient the shell; check level and full contact. Install supported pipework, fittings, pump, filter and vertical UV chamber.
Complete licensed electrical work and any required bonding. Fit selected ladder, light or heat pump using the supplied layouts and manuals.

Check the barrier and required inspections before filling. Fill to the operating waterline, prime circulation, check leaks and commission upgrades.
Test water before swimming. Retain installation photos, manuals, warranty schedules, electrical and inspection records; complete applicable registration and approval close-out.

Work through the drawings and job checks below, or download the same sequence as a PDF. Open a drawing to zoom into its labels.

Confirm full, level support, retained edges and finished drainage. Check no construction debris remains inside the shell.
Verify cured seals, supported plumbing, closed drain fittings and accessible service connections. Check suction covers and fasteners.
Complete licensed electrical work and the required barriers / inspection sequence. Keep children excluded throughout filling and startup.
Prepare water-care supplies and agree the operating waterline. The maximum brim-full calculation is not the working fill volume.

Use the certifier’s required sequence. Registration, barrier compliance and occupation/use approval are separate records where applicable.

Fill gradually and monitor the shell, base and fittings. Inspect for leaks as water reaches each connection.
Stop filling at the operating line set for the supplied skimmer. Record the filled depth or water-meter difference if a working volume is needed.
Open the correct circulation valves. Prime the pump and bleed filter air using their instructions before sustained running.
Inspect the complete circuit under operation and label normal valve positions. Stop and isolate before correcting a fault.

Job check / record

Never dry-run the pump or energise an exposed underwater lamp.

Confirm clear circulation, clean-filter pressure and no persistent air entry. Keep equipment service lids and isolation controls accessible.
Enable the assembled UV system with coordinated filtration operation. UV treats passing water but does not leave residual sanitiser in the pool.
Test the water and establish the specified compatible water-care programme. Do not put concentrated chemicals into the skimmer or directly against the coating.
If selected, commission the heat pump and submerged light using their respective procedures. Demonstrate controls and isolation.

Job check / record

Fresh-water top-ups are not a substitute for measured water care and a suitable sanitiser residual.

Keep order, delivery and installation details together with the manuals. Record model and serial numbers before labels become difficult to reach.
Attach foundation, hidden-service, fitting and equipment photographs. Keep electrical, approval, inspection and registration records.
Show the owner basket removal, filter pressure reading, normal valve positions, controls, waterline and routine water testing.
Check the starter kit: leaf skimmer, wall brush, telescopic pole, thermometer, test bottle and CPR sign. The optional Telsa 50 has its own pole included.
