INSTALLING THE GEOTEXTILE LINER
There are already cut to pool size geotextiles liners sold at your pool stores. Those
are thick and durable. Unpack and Unfold the liner inside the pool. Place it so it is
equal all around the pool. When done soak with water hose the whole surface of the
geotextile so it lays down well.
LINER INSTALLATION
The liner dimensions are usually a bit smaller than the pool frame. It is recom-
mended to spread the liner in the sun for an hour before starting the installation so
that the liner can warm up. It will stretch better under these conditions and facilitate
the installation.
We do not recommend installing a vinyl liner below 13 °C (55°F)
as it will be hard to install and not stretch enough when
fi
lled with water
Select a liner that meets APSP-4 liner performance requirements.
Do not attemp to install the liner on a cold day without sun.
Avoid to
fi
ll the swimming pool with very cold water.

place to install the screws.
