layING tHe lINeR & FIllING tHe Pool
w
Put the liner pack in the pool (caution: it is heavy!). Take the liner out and unfold
it once across the pool and then totally along the length of the pool. Before
proceeding with the fitting itself, allow the liner to rest for a while so that it becomes
more supple, this will facilitate its installation.
w
Climb bare foot into the pool, check that the bottom corners of the liner wall are
properly aligned with the corners of the pool structure. The liner corners are marked
and should correspond with the pool corners. It is important to spread the liner out
correctly. Push the upper bead of the liner into the liner locking track, continue the
whole way around the periphery of the pool. Hold the liner in place as you go using
half pegs (supplied with the liner), particularly in the corners.
w
With the liner correctly hung in place, fill the pool with 2 cm of water and smooth out
any creases pushing them from the centre of the pool towards the pool walls. This
will not be possible if the pool is completely empty or too full (more than 2cm water).
w
Once the creases have been smoothed out, proceed with:
- installation of the wall drain flange,
- cut out of the liner and mounting the front face (see page 70).
w
The filtration system should now be installed before continuing to fill the
pool.

caUtion
w
Before fitting the
liner, make sure that
the surfaces are free of
splinters and any other
asperities that could
damage the liner.
w
the ideal ambient
temperature for
fitting a liner is
between a 18 and
25°. if the liner
is fitted in colder
weather, take care to
store it beforehand in
a heated room.
w
should the liner need
to be repositioned
while fitting, never
pull it along the
rail. release it and
reposition it to avoid
the risk of tearing.
(damage of this type
is not covered by the
guarantee).
w
Before and during
the filling, check
that liner is correctly
hung, particularly in
the corners. Leave
the half pegs in
position while filling
the pool.
