Step 7
–
Create Pool Cove and Base
7.1
Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth, or fine sand without
pebbles
, create
pool
cove
4”-6”
high
along
entire
inside
circumference of pool
–
NOT OPTIONAL!
The cove will
prevent the liner from distending beneath the pool wall
under the weight of the water. See Figure 5.1.
Since chemicals that may be in the ground can cause
discoloration or corrosion, we suggest laying polyethylene
plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of
the wall, ensuring that no earth comes in contact with the
metal. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond
the control of the manufacturer, this damage is not
covered by the warranty.
DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH
ALKALINE OR ACID CONTENT, ESPECIALLY PEAT
MOSS, AS IT WILL CORRODE METAL PARTS.
Use remaining
sand
to
create
2”
deep
sand
base
over
the
entire pool area to protect the liner.
Rake and tamp down whole area until it is level and
smooth. Any bumps or ridges will be perceptible under the
liner.
