• The liner will be much easier to fit on a warm
sunny day as this makes the liner much more
supple. If possible before fitting, place the liner in
a warm sunny position.
• With underlay tape completely seal the outside of
the skimmer, low suction, return and optional light.
If you have a pre glued skimmer then you may
need to seal it in several places. The idea is to
make the wall structure as airtight as possible.
[See Figures C09 & C10]
• Position your vacuum cleaner so that its hose can
hang down the inside of the pool wall to
approximately floor level if possible. Use just the
hose, not the head attachment. Ensure that no
part of the hose or vacuum nozzle can become
detached and get stuck behind the liner.
• Locate a water proofing gasket for the skimmer,
low suction, return and optional light. Refer to each
items own instructions.
• Stick a self adhesive gasket on each fitting making
sure the holes in the gasket line up with the screw
holes in the fitting. If there is no adhesive on the
gasket use a small amount of spray glue on the
gasket.
• Locate the screws for each fitting that are used to
secure its faceplate.
• Take 4 skimmer screws and fit them in the pre-
made holes at each corner. Do not fit all the
screws, just one at each corner. Do not completely
tighten the screws. Leave each screw so that the
cross in the head is located at the 12, 3, 6 & 9
O’clock positions.
[See Figures C11 & C12]
• Take 2 screws for each of the low suction, return
and optional light. Fit them in two opposite pre-
made holes (usually top and bottom) on each
fitting. Do not fit all the screws, just two per fitting.
Do not completely tighten the screws. Leave each
screw so that the cross in the head is located at
the 12, 3, 6 & 9 O’clock positions.
[See Figure
C13]
• If you are fitting an optional underwater light fit its
gasket and two screws using the above method.
