• Ensure the pool floor is still clean and that no
objects can fall into the pool. Any objects or dirt
that remain in the pool when the liner has been
fitted can be unsightly for years to come and even
damage the liner.
• While climbing in and out of the pool make sure no
dirt or debris is brought in. It is advisable to lay the
floor felt underlay with bare feet or just wearing
socks.
• Locate the roll of underlay felt and underlay tape.
Never use any other type of tape where it will
come into contact with the liner.
• Lay out the felt to completely cover the pool floor,
it will be necessary to trim the felt with a sharp pair
of scissors and join strips together using the
supplied underlay tape.
• Ensure that the felt is not overlapped at any point
or creased as the double thickness will show
through the liner.
[See Figure C07]
• Where strips are laid side by side ensure the joint
is butted up closely with no gap. Join sections of
felt with the underlay tape.
[See Figure C08]
• Avoid joining together edges that you have cut on
site, most likely a neater finish will be achieved by
joining machine cut edges.
• Around the perimeter of the pool where the wall
meets the floor cut the felt with scissors and tuck it
under the foam.
