The pools comply with ANSI/APSP/ICC-5 as Type O or Type I pools. The spas comply with ANSI/APSP/ICC-3 and IAPMO/ANSI Z124.7. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 General: The fiberglass pool and spa shells consist of one-piece fiberglass construction shop- formed over a mold. The material is minimum 1/4-inch-thick (6.4 mm), fiberglass - reinforced plastic (FRP), composed of isophtalic resin, vinylester resin, fiberglass, and ceramic (ceramic in Viking Pools only). The surface finish is a neopentyl glycol gel coat. The overall dimensions, depths and capacities are shown in Table 1 for pools, Table 2 for spas and Table 3 for models that are permitted to be installed up to 191/2 inches (495 mm) above ground. Notice: The pool and spa shells are designed to remain full of water at all times. The shell may be damaged if the water level is allowed to drop below the skimmer. When appreciable drawdown is noticed or if it becomes necessary to drain the pool or spa, contact Viking Pools, LLC, or its dealers for instructions. 3.2 Aboveground Pools and Spas: Models intended for installation up to 191/2 inches (495 mm) above ground, listed in Table 3, have vertical supports consisting of 1-inch-by-11/2-inch-by-36-inch-long (25 mm by 38 mm by 914 mm), Douglas fir, No. 2 wood members encapsulated in the FRP process at 41/2400t (13372 mm) intervals. 4.0 INSTALLATION 4.1 General: The swimming pool and spa shells must be permanently installed in -ground or, in the case of the models shown in Table 3, up to 191/2 inches (495 mm) above ground. All plumbing and electrical installations must comply with the relevant codes in effect at the construction site at the time of construction. Subject to the code official's approval, the pool or spa shells may be installed without a soil investigation by a registered design professional, provided none of the following conditions is encountered at the site: 1. The existence of groundwater within the excavation, where the pool or spa floor will contact the soil at the time of installation. 2. The existence of an uncompacted fill in contact with any portion of the pool or spa shell. Listings are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed as an endorsement of the subject of the listing or a recommendation for its use.

The existence of any soil types with an angle of repose that will not support the walls of the excavation at desired slopes. 5. Danger to adjacent structures posed by the proposed pool or spa location. If any of the above conditions is encountered, excavation must cease immediately. The specified conditions at the site must then be reviewed, and recommendations made, by a registered design professional. The code official must approve the registered design professional's recommendations; subject to the code official's approval, pools and spas may be installed in expansive -type soils in accordance with Section 4.2 before work is resumed. The pool or spa excavation profile must coincide with the contours of the pool or spa. The over excavation must be approximately 6 to 24 inches (152 to 610 mm) on the sides and ends. The over excavation at the pool bottom must be a minimum of 3 inches (76 mm). The backfill for the pool or spa bottom must consist of a layer of bedding material as outlined in our current installation guides, formed to match the pool or spa profile. The pool or spa shell must sit firmly on the bedding material and levelness of pool or spa to be within industry guidelines. Simultaneous waterfill and backfill operations must then commence. The backfill must be compacted with a tamper. The installer must ensure that the backfill level and water level are approximately the same throughout the filling procedure. After completion of the backfill, the bond beam and decking must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's published installation instructions, and approved by the code official. 4.2 Expansive soils: For installation of pools or spas in expansive soils, the following additional installation details must be followed subject to the code official's approval: 1. All surfaces adjacent to the pool or spas must be excavated to a depth of 12 inches (305 mm) beneath the pool bottom and 6 inches (152 mm) behind the horizontal pool walls. 2. Any soft or loose soils exposed by step 1 must be removed until exposed material is solid. If the soil is still soft and loose, the upper 6 inches (152 mm) of all horizontal excavation surfaces must be scarified and compacted with mechanical equipment. The compacted surfaces and the excavated wall surfaces must be maintained in a moist condition until the first lift of backfill or fill is placed against the surface. The term compaction implies any method necessary to consolidate the native and fill materials to keep the pool or structure from settling. 3. The excavated bottom area of the pool or spa must be backfilled with granular import material to approximately 6 inches (152 mm) below the bottom of the pool or spa, wetted and compacted. 4. The remaining 6 inches (152 mm) must be backfilled beneath the pool or spa and behind the pool walls with clean sand and compact. The pool or spa must be filled with water as backfilling progresses to a level equivalent to that of the backfill. The backfill must be placed in compacted layers of approximately 6 inches (152 mm) while a uniform height of backfill is maintained around the pool or spa. 5. Positive surface drainage away from the perimeter of the pool and surrounding deck is required and critical to installations in highly expansive soils. Surface area drains and surface drainage swales or subdrains must be placed as needed to prevent ponding or saturation of the soil around the perimeter and vicinity of the pool to prevent excessive shrink -swell or volume changes in the soil. 4.3 Aboveground Pools and Spas: Models shown in Table 3 may be installed up to 191/2 inches (495 mm) above ground. These pool and spa shells may be placed with or without concrete or wood decking. Unless the elevated external portions of the units are protected from sunlight by soil berms, decking, etc., these portions must be coated with a UV -inhibiting opaque paint that is compatible with the laminate. 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE The pool and spa shells described in this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5.1 The pool and spa shells must be constructed and installed in accordance with this report and the manufacturer's published installation instructions. In the event of conflict, this report governs. 5.2 Electrical and plumbing installations must comply with the relevant codes in effect at the construction site at the time of construction. 5.3 Clearances of the pools and spas from slopes set forth in IBC Section 1805.3, CRC Section R403.1.7, IRC Section R403.1.7 or UBC Section 1805.3.3 must be observed. 5.4 A barrier must be installed in accordance with IBC Section 3109, ISPSC Section 305, IRC Section AG105, or UBC Appendix Chapter 4, as applicable. 5.5 Slip resistance is outside the scope of this evaluation report.
