Close the skimmer opening with cardboard and adhesive tape so that the suction
of air works better.
Set the liner in place
Open the carton. Do not use anything sharp to open the carton.
Unpack and unfold the liner and spread it out in the sun to
warm it up. Inspect all the seams and surfaces for holes.
Remove your shoes to avoid damaging the base or tearing the
liner.
Spread out the liner, smooth side down. The curved seam
should be centred on the cove at the base of the wall
(image 1)
. The
other seams will form straight lines across the bottom of the
pool.
Smooth out all the wrinkles in the bottom.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If possible, unfold the liner on the grass one
to two hours before installation. Be careful not
to leave the liner too long or you may damage
the grass.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The liner is generally smaller than the support
structure of the pool. It will stretch more
easily when warm. It is important that the liner
is installed on a warm sunny day.

INSTALLING
THE LINER

TYPE 1 - overlap
Starting at the liner wall seam, hang the liner over the wall making sure that
the seam is straight up and down, perpendicular to the floor. (remove stabilizers
gradually as you fold the liner over the top of the wall.) This will assure you that
the liner begins going over the wall straight.
As you put the liner over the wall you can secure it by using the plastic coping
strips to keep it in place. If you end up with excess material, continue around
the pool, pulling excess liner evenly, and distribute over the wall until the excess
is gone.
Fasten liner to the top of the wall with plastic coping. Let liner hang slack for
now. Do not pull liner tight.

Turn the vacuum cleaner on and push the liner outward with your feet to iron
out any wrinkles. Once finished, turn off vacuum cleaner.
Start filling the pool with water. As the pool fills, work out all the wrinkles and
smooth the liner to the wall. Remove the plastic coping around the top edge
of the wall one piece at a time and adjust the liner. Keep smoothing out the
wrinkles.
After all the wrinkles in the liner are removed, trim any extra length of plastic
coping so there is no overlap.

Roll up any excess liner hanging below the plastic coping and tape it in place
near the top of the pool wall. Do not trim off the excess liner. (image 5.4)

INSTALLING
THE LINER
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some liners may fit very tightly, it is better to
install uprights, top plate and rail before going
onto next step.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not trim off the excess liner. (if the liner
ever needs to be removed, trimming the liner
will make re-installation very difficult.) Instead,
roll up any excess liner and tape it in place
near the top of the wall.
