Instructions / Assembly

Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth, or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2” base over the entire pool area to protect the liner.
DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH ALKALINE OR ACID CONTENT, ESPECIALLY PEAT MOSS, AS IT WILL CORRODE
METAL PARTS!
Next, using the sifted earth or fine sand, build a pool cove 6” to 8” high inside the wall along the entire circumference.
This will prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner from any edges of the pool framework.
THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL- IT MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals can cause discoloration or corrosion, it
is suggested that you place polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the wall, so no earth comes in
contact with the metal wall. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage is not
covered by the warranty.
After the cove and the base are in place, rake and tamp the entire pool area. Make sure that no sand is allowed to remain on
the wall above the cove. This could cause pinholes in your liner.

STEP 9: LINER PREPARATION
Before installing the liner, punch out skimmer and skimmer return holes from the wall using a hammer and screwdriver. Be
careful not to rough up the edges too much. If you do you can file them down to be safe from further damage to your pool (Be care-
ful not to allow filings to land inside of the pool wall). If you want to you can duct tape the raw edges of the metal at the skimmer
and return cut outs to protect the raw edges against corrosion. Next, locate your safety envelope, take out the double sided vinyl
gasket and install skimmer and return gaskets as shown on included instruction sheet. THIS MUST BE DONE! You
must also periodically inspect the gaskets for leaks to validate the warranty.

STEP 7A: LINER INSTALLATION
Use duct tape to cover the raw edges of metal at the skimmer and return cut outs. Do not place the liner wall seam directly over the
skimmer or return cutouts. Place the liner at the center of the pool with the flap from seams facing down. Spread the liner so that the bottom
seam of the circumference is resting on the cove evenly around the pool. The seam should not be upon the wall or shifted to one side. These
conditions will cause tightness or stretching of the liner when the pool is being filled with water.
STEP 6: PREEPARING THE COVE
Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth, or fine sand without pebbles, biult a 2" base over the entire pool area to protect the liner.
DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH ALKALINE OR ACID CONTENT, ESPECIALLY MOSS, AS IT WILL CORRODE
METAL PARTS!
Next, using the sifted earth or fine sand, biuld a pool cove 6" to 8" high inside the wall along the entire circumference. This will
prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner from any edges of the pool framework. THIS STEP
IS NOT OPTIONAL  IT MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals can cause discoloration or corrosion, it is suggested
that you place polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the wall, so no earth comes in contact wioth
the metal wall. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage is not covered by
the warranty.
After the cove and the base are in place, rake and tamp the entire pool area. Make sure that no sand is allowed to remain on
the wall above the cove. This could cause pinholes in your liner.
