INSTALLATION OF THE LINER
After the sand/vermiculite bottom has been completed, the liner can be installed on a wet or
dry pool floor. However, if weather and time permit, allow the pool floor to dry completely (24-
48 hours).
If the pool floor is completely dry, 2 -3 people will be needed to install the liner. Wipe down the
pool walls with a rag to remove any dirt or vermiculite that may be stuck to the walls. Use a
hand trowel to remove rough spots in the floor and a soft broom to remove crumbs or debris
that may be in the pool bottom.
If the pool floor is not completely dry, you will need 4-6 people to install the liner to prevent
dragging the liner across the bottom. Unroll the liner at either end of the pool. 2-3 people
should hold the liner while 2-3 people work the liner toward the other end, being careful not to
drag the liner on the pool floor.
TOOLS
Commercial Vacuum, Screwdriver, Razor Blade, Duct Tape
TIP
The liner should be installed before rain has a chance to do any damage to the pool bottom.
If rain is unavoidable, cover the pool floor with plastic.
