GASKETS FOR POOL FITTINGS
Before fitting the liner, glue one of the 2 rectangular
self-adhesive gaskets (pool fitting skin pack) around the
mouth of the skimmer or filtration unit.
Make sure that the holes in the gasket are correctly
aligned with the holes in the skimmer.
From the pool side, insert return fitting throughwall flange
(pool fitting pack) into the opening in the pierced slats. Fix
it in position using countersunk self-tapping 3x25 screws.
Fit a self-adhesive gasket to each throughwall flange. Screw
carefully by hand to avoid damaging the wood.
IMPORTANT !
The ideal temperature for laying liner is between 18° and 25°C. Outside this range, the liner will be either
two rigid or too pliant and will be difficult to fit. On very hot days, lay the liner early in the morning. During cold weather
(less than 18°C), store the liner somewhere warm for as long as possible to increase it’s suppleness and do not take it out
until the last minute.
Place the liner in the centre of the pool and unfold it. When it is unfolded, the liner will form either an octagon or an
elongated octagon on the ground, depending on the pool model. Line the corners up with the corners of the pool
structure. Working in bare feet from inside the pool, fit the liner lip into the liner locking track, continue around the pool.
CAUTION: The vertical seam than joins the band that covers the walls should not be on the wall that holds the skimmer.
If this is the case, turn the liner.
While fitting the liner, insert wooden half pegs (provided) in the liner locking track to hold it in position in the corners and
at regular intervals around the periphery. This will help position the liner and stop it from slipping in the track. Keep the
pegs in position until the pool has been filled with water.
Make sure that the bottom corners of the liner correspond to the corners of the pool structure. You will note that the
liner is slightly smaller than the structure, this is normal and necessary to ensure correct tension on the liner after the
pool has been filled with water. Make sure that the liner is spread out over the entire surface of the pool.
Leave the liner as is until the warmth of the sun eases out the creases caused by folding (this will take a few hours).
CAUTION:
In the event that you need to move the liner, do not slide it in the track. Take it out of the track by pulling upwards on
the lip and reposition it. Sliding the liner in the track can cause it to tear just below the lip (this type of damage will not
be covered by any guarantee).
