INSTALLING FACEPLATES
Once the liner is installed and the water level reaches 2”-3” from the return and
skimmer, install the faceplates.
Locate the screw holes in the mounting plate beneath the liner for the
skimmer and the return. Once located, carefully puncture the liner at the screw
holes with an icepick or nail. Attach skimmer faceplate with 1” screws and hand
tighten evenly in order as shown in skimmer faceplate image below. When installing
return faceplate, hand tighten each screw by a half turn, alternating between each,
until all are tightened evenly. This ensures uniform compression of sealing gaskets.
Using a razor knife, carefully trim the liner from inside of the openings for the
skimmer and return. When done, install the directional eyeball into the return.
Locate screw holes for faceplate.
Please refer to the manufacturers’ installation instructions for all other installation components.
These include pump, filter, lights, and all other equipment and accessories.

Follow step manufacturer’s instructions for installation of step faceplate and gasket after the liner
