ADDING WATER AND FINAL INSTALLATIONS
FILLING THE POOL WITH A GARDEN HOSE
Examine the liner from all directions. Before filling the pool, all folds or wrinkles must be pulled
out ensuing that the liner is flat as any wrinkles still in the liner may remain permanently. It may
be necessary to turn off the vacuum and reposition the liner several times. After properly
positioning the liner correctly, use a garden hose to start filling the pool with water while the
vacuum is still running. Examine the hose ends first to be sure that no sharp edges will damage
the liner; tape the ends if necessary. Place the end of the hose on the bottom of the hopper.
After 8"-12"of water has filled the deep end, turn off water source but not the shop-vac. Install
the main drain gasket and the main drain faceplate underwater.
•
Very carefully puncture the liner where the heads of the 2 previously installed screws
protrude
•
Back the screw out through the vinyl liner and quickly position gasket and faceplate
•
Reinstall the 2 screws and partially tighten each
•
Install the remaining screws through the faceplate and gasket, puncturing vinyl as each
screw enters a pilot hole in main drain body
•
Tighten screws evenly and securely in a cross-pattern
sequence
•
After completely installing the faceplates, trim the
vinyl from inside the main drain faceplates with a
sharp blade and install the main drain grates.
Continue to fill the pool with water, continuing to remove
any wrinkles as necessary. If wrinkles remain, you’ll have to
pump the water out to remove them and then refill the pool.
To avoid this costly and time-consuming error, remove any
wrinkles before they are covered with more than 2” of water.
TOOLS
Commercial Vacuum, Garden Hose, Duct Tape, Screwdriver,
TIP
The vacuum must remain
running until the water is
covering the shallow end or else
wrinkles will develop. When
about 4" - 6" of water is up the
shallow end wall, turn off
vacuum and remove hoses from
behind the liner. You will want to
remove the vac hose before it is
covered with water otherwise it
becomes impossible to remove.
IMPORTANT! The pool should have 4"-6" of water in the shallow end BEFORE
installing the faceplates for the step(s), swim-out, light, skimmer or returns. Skip
to “
Step Faceplates
” for additional direction b
efore your pool is completely filled.
