A quality Fox Pool makes your dreams come true!Because a pool becomes a permanent part of your home, make sure that you invest in a quality product. Fox began building pools in 1957 and offers you decades of expertise and lasting quality.

A swimming pool keeps your family together. It provides a healthful place to exercise, and it gives you a uniqueall-family center for summertime fun, entertainment,and relaxation.

It’s yours to use everyday, whenever you wish. Just open your backdoor and let Fox open a new and excitingworld of lasting pleasure for every member of your family.


Fox pre–packaged pools are engineered to meet or exceed all APSP safety standards.We provide exacting dig drawings for every pool we make, ensuring that your Fox dealer has the proper specifications for bottom depths and dimensions for both diving and non–diving pools. Proper construction is the foundation to safety. Please be aware that even in diving pools it is unsafe to dive from the pool deck into any part of the pool. This applies to all residential swimming pools and is dictated by the APSP. To help

A pool can provide your family with a lifetime of enjoyment, but like many recreational products and activities, it’s essential that you use it safely.To help you get off to the right start, each Fox pool is delivered with a complete owner’s manual, as well as several publications from the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) that relate to safe pool use. It is very important that you read them thoroughly and understand this information.

+always putsafety fi rst

You can obtain a copy of these guidelines directly from the APSP at 2111 Eisenhower Avenue Alexandria, VA 22314or visit their web site at www.theapsp.org.Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in serious injury or death.

remind you of this and to make your guests aware, Fox supplies NO DIVING signs with all new pools and liners. Each liner is embossed in the proper area with, “no diving label” to indicate the proper area to affix the label. Make sure your dealer affixes these labels and no one removes or defaces them. If you choose to install a diving board, be certain that the manufacturer’s size and placement instructions are followed exactly.Diving boards must be installed in accordance withthe APSP safety guidelines.

5lighting for safety at night+Be sure your pool is properly lit for nighttime usage. Your builder can discuss several options for lighting your pool properly that will not only enhance safety, but can provide you with dazzling colors to beautify your pool and backyard.

proper fence & gate+Fencing around your pool is an important consideration. Most local codes require some type of barrier to prevent childrenfrom accessing the pool area. Typically, an enclosure must be least four foot high and include a self closing gate. Check with your local codes inspector to find out the requirements for your area.

no diving signs+In addition to the no diving labels, Foxsupplies you with an area sign indicatingproper pool usage. You must display this signto alert all pool users of the proper usage of the pool.

steps & ladders+Steps and ladders are another important element ofyour pool. Steps or a ladder should be installed in the shallowend of your pool if the water is more than 2 feet deep, and a ladder must be installed in the deep end.

supervision at all times+Never allow children or infants in or aroundyour pool without constant adult supervision.Never swim alone, and do not swim when under theinfluence of alcohol or certain prescription medication.Always keep a rescue ring or other rescue device handyin case someone in the pool needs assistance. Read yourFox owners manual and the other safety informationprovided with your pool.

Fox exclusiveFox X–Brace® construction gives you a poolthat’s self-supporting with or without water.Fox Pools use some of the same technology used in buildingbridges, tall buildings, water towers and other structures thatrequire high strength due to high stresses.Your swimming pool holds thousands of gallons of water while holdingback thousands of pounds of earth. In order to ensure structural integrityover many years it is important that your pool walls will remain intactregardless of external forces. With the Fox X–Brace™ technology you getjust that. Patented by Fox, the X–Brace™ structure provides 100% supportfor your pool walls and pool deck without concern for internal or externalpressures. Don’t be fooled by imitations, demand the “original” X–Brace™

only available from Fox.

the benefi ts of the Fox X–Brace® design• Self–supporting structure at all times• Integral deck support• Your pool deck can be poured immediately without waiting for the ground to settle• Withstands frost upheaval• The pool can be drained without worry of collapse• The pool retains its original shape, protecting your investment

The Fox X–Brace™ technology is backed by an independent engineering report that proves theFox X–Brace™ structural integrity is as we claim. Ask your dealer to show you a copy of this report.

Fox X–Brace® details• Pool panels are supported every 2 feet by

welded-on Z Bar stiffeners• The X–Braces™ are bolted to panels using

heavy duty corrosion resistant bolts • Steel rods and “S” hooks anchor the

X–Brace™ and the pool wall to the ground • A concrete footer or foundation is poured

around the perimeter of the pool, creating a permanent “foundation”

• Pool can be backfilled with or without water• More reinforcing rod is added to connect the

top of the X–Braces™ to the deck structure• The concrete deck encapsulates the

X–Braces™ and reinforcing rod to form a unitary structure • Backfill settles over time forming a thermal

barrier between the deck and the ground to protect against frost upheaval



Architects use X-bracing where high strength is needed to support tall buildings and structures with high stress.

In addition to superior strength, Fox pools feature FoxGard® fusion bonded protection. Fox takes an extra step when it comes to manufacturing its pools. Each piece of 14 gauge,pre-galvanized steel is totally encapsulated, front and back, with a special powder coating, fusion bonded to the steel at 400 degrees to lockout rust and corrosion.

extra benefi ts:• Complete rust resistant coverage over welds, corners, and edges• FoxGard is applied after all machining processes to ensure complete coverage.• Fusion bonding to ensure coverage in even the tightest spots• Electrostatic adhesion eliminates drips, sags, and other surface imperfections.• Resistant to chipping and cracking• Endures ASTM B117-73 salt spray test requirements for 2,500 hours

The FoxGard® process of powder coating is used in a variety of other applicationswhere superior corrosion resistance is required. Everyday items employ powdercoating protection including:• outdoor furniture• electrical and metering devices• stadium seats• recreational, commercial, and industrial devices• military applications• truck fenders and bedsWe have so much confidence in our FoxGard® products that they come with a lifetime warranty against corrosion. See our warranty for details.

OUTSTANDINGWARRANTY

PROTECTION

Because FoxGard® offers such lasting protection, the warranty states: “Fox warrants that pool wall system components...will not deteriorate as a result of

corrosion...and extends for the life of the original purchaser.

Fox begins with heavy gauge galvanized steel and ends with a FoxGard® component.Note that edges and predrilled holes are fully protected.

The powder coating process begins and ends at this point: parts travel by conveyor through a 5-step cleaning process, the FoxGard spray booth and finally the curing oven.

The Fox “WaterFall” Circulation System provides highly effective and efficient corner-to-corner circulation because water “falls” from one end of the pool to the other. All filtered water isreturned at one end while two skimmers at the other end receive the water. The smooth, curved transition, from walls to the corners, assures maximum performance. Pools are easily treated with chemicals and, in heated pools, no hot spots can be created. This system is standard with all Fox rectangular type pools over 800 square feet and optional with all others.

Fox Garden Series Poolsperfect for all-family activities

These non-diving pools allow everyone to enjoy the benefits of swimming, even for homes with limited garden space. A diving pool required a deep end that does not lend itself to in-pool games like volleyball, badminton, etc. The Fox Sport Bottom assures equal footing at both ends for lots of in-pool fun. Of course, you can also enjoy lap swimming and water exercise in a Fox Garden Series Pool.

Small enough for your limited garden area, yet large enough for all-family swimming, water exercise, and avariety of in-pool games.
