MEASURING THE POOL WALL
WARNING:
A POOL THAT IS NOT LEVEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY COLLAPSE
AT ANYTIME
.
• Check the pool wall level by placing a 2-in x 4-in board or similar across the diameter of the pool
wall and placing a level on the top of the board. A string level may also be used for this step
(see diagram 13). If the pool is not level then remove the pool wall, dismantle the pool frame, and
re-level the ground site.
• Check if the pool wall is round and measure the diameter across a few spots to make sure the
differences of each diameter and width measured are within 0.8-in (2-cm).
CAUTION:
Try not to damage any of the components if disassembling the pool wall to correct the
ground level.
• Once the measurements and levels are correct and all nuts and bolts are tightened, cover the
exposed bolt heads with the Self-Adhesive Tape (see diagram 15 and 16). This step is necessary to
prevent damage to the liner from the bolt heads.
WARNING:
Tighten the wall bolts using a screwdriver and wrench by hand to insure a tight wall joint
connection.
NEVER
use a power screwdriver or power drill for this step. Loose wall bolts may cause
the pool to collapse and is not covered by the warranty.
