FINAL INSTALLATION TIPS
When installing a thru-the-wall skimmer, follow the instructions of the manufacturer. It is essential that there is
no leakage of water at either of the openings. If water is allowed to drip down the metal wall of the pool, it will
cause the wall to eventually deteriorate and split. At the slightest sign of corrosion, you must sand down this
area and paint it. It is a good idea to silicone edge of wall at skimmer opening. Gasket is used directly over
steel an aluminum wall.
Be prepared to chlorinate your water within 24 hours of filling to prevent algae and bacterial growth. If you are
using well water or water with high mineral content, consult your pool dealer for proper preventative action.
DO NOT PUT POOL CHEMICALS DIRECTLY INTO THE WATER. ALL CHEMICALS MUST BE
THOROUGHLY DISSOLVED IN WATER, AND THEN POURED INTO THE POOL. IF CHLORINE IS NOT
DISSOLVED, IT WILL BLEACH LINER AND MAKE PINHOLES IN THE LINER. IF WATER IS DRAINED AT
ANY TIME, LINER MAY SHRINK AND BECOME UNUSABLE WITH NO RECOURSE TOWARDS THIS
COMPANY. REMOVAL OF WATER WILL VOID WARRANTY.
POOL MAINTENANCE
Small repairs and punctures in your liner may be easily repaired using underwater repair kits available at your
local dealer. Scratches on your pool wall and frame must be touched up with anti-rust enamel paint. Keep your
pool wall and frame clean. Wash periodically with a mild soap solution (no abrasives). Use a clean non-
yellowing household wax on all metal components.
Quickly wash away any deposits of pool chemicals which land on the frame of your pool.
Since metal are subject to wear and/or corrosion, a strict periodic inspection schedule should be maintained and
followed. If any corrosion is found, IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. Wire brush all rust
and add a coat of enamel primer followed by a coat of color matching anti-rust enamel paint. The skimmer area
is one particular area that must be carefully inspected. If any corrosion is allowed to continue, failure of the pool
structure may follow which could result in excessive property damage as well as bodily harm.
AQUA LOUNGE MAINTENANCE (If you have this option)
To fully take advantage of your pool entry system AQUA LOUNGE, some precautions must be taken. It is
important that all decks, patios or any arrangement surrounding the AQUA LOUNGE be ventilated. Intense heat
on the fiberglass could discolor the surface. In addition, wax application on the surface will assure you to keep
the shinny appearance and prevent dirt to stick on the surface. Some cleaning products can be used to clean
watermarks. Check with your AQUA LEADER dealer.
