Special Construction Applications
Deck-on-Deck Pools
Create a rectangular frame
around the free-form pool for
an undertrack installation with
track channel.
Vanishing-Edge Pools
Create a 45° or 90° vanishing edge
45°
90°
track channel or
deck straps
Extreme Cantilever
Perimeter Overflow
Create a freeform pool by extending the cantilever up to 24"
beyond the channel or track.
Create a pool for which water height appears even with
the deck. A narrow channel collects the overflow water
and allows for the glider arms.

perpendicular to the unit mechanism and recessed housing (90°).
2. Over-dig the recessed cover box end of the pool 18" beyond the forms.
Do not install plumbing within 14" of the deck in the housing area.
3. The motor can be on either end of the cover box.
4. Do not locate skimmers in the lowered pool wall.
5. All corners must be square (no radius) on the finished tile line or the coping.
6. Place 3" drain in floor or wall of recessed housing.
