whole structure and prevent uprights and bottom plates against ground movements
due to freezing/thawing.
FILLING THE POOL WITH WATER
STEP 1
You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the air between the liner and the pool wall.
By removing the air, the liner will stretch a little and start sticking to the pool wall.
This will allow you to correct the surface of the liner and remove folds and wrinkles.
Do not use an industrial vacuum cleaner that could suck
the liner and damage it or pierce it.
Make sure the vacuum cleaner nozzle does not have
sharp corner(s) that could damage the liner. Tape the
end of the nozzle to prevent any damage.
Insert the end of the nozzle into the return of the wall
(about 12 in/30 cm). Make sure the nozzle is at least
4 in/10 cm from the cove of the pool so it is not moved
or sucked by the vacuum cleaner.
Tape the vacuum hose to the side of the pool wall with
duct tape. Make sure the return hole is blocked
properly to keep air out. The vacuum must be outside
the pool.

STEP 3
Start the vacuum cleaner. The liner will begin to stick against the wall. If you notice
any wrinkles, smooth out the bottom. To avoid damaging the liner do not wear
shoes for this step.
STEP 4
Start
fi
lling the pool with water by using a gardening hose.
During the whole
fi
lling process:
•
Check for wrinkles in the liner.
To prevent the liner from moving, smooth out
any visible wrinkles at the bottom of the pool before there is too much water in
the pool. The slow
fl
ow of the gardening hose will allow the liner to stretch and
give you time to put it back in place if you see any wrinkles.
•
Inspect the structure regularly.
Make sure the rails stay in place and
fl
at to the
foundation. Make sure the wall stays in place in the rail.s and no kinks are formed
when the weight of the water pulls on the liner. If the wall kinks, immediately stop
fi
lling with water, investigate and correct the issue with the structure.
PROTECTION AGAINST FOUNDATION DRAINAGE
In order to properly protect the compacted foundation and prevent it from draining,
spread around your pool a strip of 10” wide minimum by 2” to 4” heigh, of 3/4 rock
or river stones. Failure to apply this step or use another product such as garden soil
or mulch would void the warranty.
