b.

The skimmer knockouts begin approximately
12" from the beginning of the pool wall. Begin
wall installation at the foot plate 12" from where
your filter will be located. As wall is uncoiled,
guide the bottom edge into the rim groove until
wall ends, overlap and the holes align. If ends
overlap too much, gently nudge rims toward
outside of pool. If ends do not meet, gently
nudge rims toward inside of pool.

c.

As you are joining the wall ends, attach the
reinforcing bars on the outer sides of the pool
wall using the 5/8" machine screws and hex
nuts as shown in Fig. 26 - insert screws from
inside of pool.  Nuts and washers MUST be on
outside (FIG. 26).  To eliminate burrs on screw
heads, hold screws in place with a screwdriver
and then turn the nuts to tighten.  Tighten the
nuts to a maximum torque of 70 inch pounds.
File off any burrs on screw heads and cover the
inside wall joint with heavy tape.

BE SURE:

¨

Tighten all nuts - do not omit any screws in
wall joint.

¨

Check the entire substructure for sharp
edges or corners. These areas must be
covered with heavy cloth or duct tape.

¨

Pool must be level. Check pool level at
several locations as shown in FIG. 28. If
level varies 1" or more dismantle the pool
wall and re-level the entire bottom frame-
work.

7. INSTALL POOL WALL

a.

Set coiled pool wall on a 2 X 2 wood board inside the pool area
(FIG. 24). The perforated knockouts in the wall are for an
optional thru-the-wall skimmer. Whether a skimmer is used or
not, these knockouts MUST be positioned at the TOP of the pool
(FIG. 24 & 25).

IMPORTANT:
If you are using a thru-the-wall skimmer, refer to your
Skimmer Owner’s Manual and remove the knockout now.
If you are not using a thru-the-wall skimmer do not remove
the knockout panel. Cover ALL perforations (inside the
pool) with heavy cloth or duct tape.

POOL WALL MUST BE INSTALLED WITH ONE REINFORCING BAR ON
THE INSIDE AND ONE ON THE OUTSIDE.  FAILURE TO INSTALL BOTH
BARS AS SHOWN WILL CAUSE COLLAPSE OF POOL!
