INSTALLING FACEPLATES
Once the water level reaches 2”-3” from the return and
skimmer, install the faceplates. Carefully locate the screw holes
for each opening. Once located, carefully puncture the liner
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 eyeball into the return.
