BWT myPOOL TROPIC WIOODEN POOLS
HOTLINE
Place the liner in the centre of the pool and unfold it. When it is unfolded, the liner will form either an
octagon, an elongated octagon or a hexagon on the ground, depending on the pool model. Line the
corners up with the corners of the pool structure. Working in bare feet from inside the pool, fit the liner lip
into the liner locking track, continue around the pool.
CAUTION:
The vertical seam than joins the band that covers the walls should not be on the wall that holds the
skimmer. If this is the case, turn the liner.
While fitting the liner, insert wooden half pegs (provided) in the liner locking track to hold it in position in
the corners and at regular intervals around the periphery. This will help position the liner and stop it from
slipping in the track. Keep the pegs in position until the pool has been filled with water.
Make sure that the bottom corners of the liner correspond to the corners of the pool structure. You will note
that the liner is slightly smaller than the structure, this is normal and necessary to ensure correct tension
on the liner after the pool has been filled with water. Reductions are approx 1% around the periphery and
5% along the height. Make sure that the liner is spread out over the entire surface of the pool.
Leave the liner as is until the warmth of the sun eases out the creases caused by folding (this will take a
few hours).
CAUTION:
In the event that you need to move the liner, do not slide it in the track. Take it out of the track by pulling
upwards on the lip and reposition it. Sliding the liner in the track can cause it to tear just below the lip (this
type of damage will notbe covered by any guarantee).

Once the liner has been hung and is correctly
positioned, fill the pool with 2 cm of water. Push any
creases towards the walls smoothing out the liner as
much as possible. Take care to ensure that the floor is
as smooth as possible. This operation will not be
possible if the pool is empty or overfilled (contains
more than 2 cm of water).
Stick the self-adhesive gaskets to the return fitting
and vacuum fitting flanges. Locate the holes in the
throughwall flange and mark them.
Screw the flange (fitted with its gasket) into place
using the countersunk SS screws M5x16 from the
pool fitting skin pack. Tighten the screws alternately to
ensure a leaktight fit. Hand tighten, over tightening could damage the flange.
