INSTALLING
THE LINER
TYPE 2 - bead/snap bead liner
With a snap bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips that are packed in
the parts carton of many pools. You can discard those pieces (if they are included).
Instead, you should have received a beaded liner track (not included) (referred to
as a “coping bead receiver”).
(image 5.5)
The beaded liner track should be installed onto the pool wall all of the way around
the pool. These pieces should be as close together as possible. Leaving spaces
between bead tracks can cause liner problems later on.
Once all of the beaded liner track is on the wall, you can snap the liner bead into
the beaded liner track at four random points around the pool. After that is done,
and you are satisfied with how the liner is situated within the pool, you can con -
tinue snapping the remainder of the liner into place around the pool.
Go around the entire pool again making certain that the liner is securely snapped
into the track. This is important to confirm so that the liner does not pull out while
under pressure of being filled with water.

TYPE 3 - hung/J or V-bead line
With a V-Bead liner you will not se the plastic coping strips that are packed in
the parts carton of your pool. You can discard those pieces, if they are included,
as they only apply to pools with overlap liners.
The top of the wall of the liner has what is called a “V-Bead” welded onto it.
Simply open up the bead with your fingers and hang it directly on top of the
pool wall. (image 5.6) When this is done properly, the only portion on the out-
side of the pool wall is approximately 1” of the V-Bead. No printed liner material
is actually going over the top of the wall to the outside of the wall.
Make sure the bead is on evenly around the entire pool, and that the liner
is hanging straight down from the top of the wall. The liner should not have
creases in it because it is twisting around the pool. If the liner is twisting, it is
because it is not sitting properly in the pool. Make necessary adjustments be-
fore proceeding.
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.
