POOL SETUP
POOL SITE PREPARATION
Remember ground preparation is the most important step in the installation of the pool. Do
not install the pool over underground power lines, sewer lines, or other structures. Do not
install on cement, asphalt, or other hard surfaces.
1. Mark off the pool area by driving a stake in the center of the area where the pool will be installed.
Have a helper hold a tape measure or a string and mark off the pool perimeter using our, chalk, or
spray paint. Remove all sod inside the pool area to 1-ft (30-cm) beyond the dimensions of
the pool.
2. If the area selected for pool installation has Nut Grass, Bermuda Grass, or another type of
persistent grass it is recommended a topical grass treatment is applied and to wait at least 48 hours
before continuing with installation.
3. After removing the sod, rake the dirt to remove any small rocks, stones, roots, sticks or other debris
that could cause damage or tear the pool liner.

10
WARNING!
Leveling is extremely important: take as much time as necessary to ensure the pool site is
completely rm and leveled.
• WARNING: The pool contains thousands of gallons of water. Should the pool collapse due to
unleveled ground, it could cause signicant property damage and even result in injury or death.
• Use a carpenter’s level and straight edge 14-ft long, 2-in x 4-in board to ensure that the site is
completely level! (see diagram 1)
• Remove the higher ground rather than lling the low laying ground (see diagram 2).
• Once the pool site is completely leveled, debris removed and ground smoothed, place a layer of
sifted dirt or masonry sand that completely covers the pool site (see diagram 3).
If a sand cove is being used (see diagrams 17 and 18) reserve some of the sifted dirt or brick layer’s
sand in the center of the pool site for this step.
LEVELING THE AREA
Spread a light layer of ne brick layer’s
sand or sifted dirt over the foundation
area. Level this layer carefully.

11
ASSEMBLING THE POOL RAIL
• Make nal adjustments to the bottom rail’s diameter.
• When all the rails are slid into the metal plates, it should form a complete circle and the diameter
should be equivalent to the diameter of the pool itself. You can shorten or lengthen the gap
distance between the two ends of the bottom rails (see diagram 6).
(Diagram 4)
( Diagram 5)
(Diagram 6)
IMPORTANT: Leave about 0.4-in (1-cm) gap between the 2 ends of the bottom rail.
NOTE: It is recommended that a 2-in patio block is place under each foot plate. The patio blocks
must be dug into the dirt so the bottom rails and foot plates lay ush on the ground.
• Place the metal plates equally around the circle (see diagram 4).
• Slide the resin bottom rail into the metal foot plate (see diagram 5). Repeat this process for all
bottom rails.

12
INSTALLING THE POOL WALL
DO NOT ATTEMPT WALL INSTALLATION ON A WINDY DAY!
CAUTION:It is advisable to wear protective gloves when handling the metal wall.
CAUTION: Have 2 or 3 additional people for the installation of the pool wall into the bottom rail. This
is necessary to hold the pool wall upright until the wall ends are connected and the bolts have been
inserted in the bolt holes.
HELPFUL HINT: Use tent stakes, string, and “S” hooks stretched out from several points around the
pool to hold up the wall until the liner installation is complete and the pool is partially lled
with water.
• Put the pool wall on a 4-ft x 4-ft plywood (see diagram 8). This is to protect the leveled ground while
installation of the pool wall is taking place.
• Before unrolling the wall into the bottom rail, decide where the skimmer and ltration system will be
placed. The opening end of the pool wall closest to the square skimmer opening should be placed on
the closest metal plate to the location that has been selected for the electrical supply of the ltration
system. The pool wall end should be resting in the center of the metal plate (see diagram 9). Make sure
that this location is not in a windward position. Skimmer opening should be in the upward position.
• Carefully uncoil the pool wall into the round rail. Join the 2 ends of the pool wall together. Line up
the bolt holes and attach the bolts, washers, and nuts; do not fully tighten. Measure and trim the
last piece of resin bottom rail to t the base of the pool wall. Once there is a snug t, tighten all the
nuts. (see diagram 10, 11 and 12).
NOTES: Some larger size pools have a double row of wall bolts (see the parts list). Place the bolt
heads through the inside of the pool. Washers and nuts should be on the outside of the pool wall.
(see diagram 12). Only hand tighten the bolts at this point.

13
MEASURING THE POOL WALL
WARNING: A POOL THAT IS NOT LEVEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY COLLAPSE
AT ANYTIME.
• Check the pool wall level by placing a 2-in x 4-in board or similar across the diameter of the pool
wall and placing a level on the top of the board. A string level may also be used for this step
(see diagram 13). If the pool is not level then remove the pool wall, dismantle the pool frame, and
re-level the ground site.
• Check if the pool wall is round and measure the diameter across a few spots to make sure the
differences of each diameter and width measured are within 0.8-in (2-cm).
CAUTION: Try not to damage any of the components if disassembling the pool wall to correct the
ground level.
• Once the measurements and levels are correct and all nuts and bolts are tightened, cover the
exposed bolt heads with the Self-Adhesive Tape (see diagram 15 and 16). This step is necessary to
prevent damage to the liner from the bolt heads.
WARNING: Tighten the wall bolts using a screwdriver and wrench by hand to insure a tight wall joint
connection. NEVER use a power screwdriver or power drill for this step. Loose wall bolts may cause
the pool to collapse and is not covered by the warranty.

14
PROTECTIVE SAND CUSHION
Making a Protective Sand Cushion at the Foot of the Inner Pool Wall
ATTENTION: THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP THAT WILL PREVENT THE LINER FROM BEING FORCED
OUT UNDER THE WALL, TEARING, AND RELEASING THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WATER
INTO THE YARD. AVOIDING THIS STEP WILL VOID THE POOL WARRANTY.
• To protect the liner against the sharp edges of the bottom rail and pool wall, it is necessary to build
a protective cove made of moist sifted dirt or ne brick layer’s sand at the base of the pool wall
(see diagram 17 and 18). The size should be 6-in H x 6-in W so that it completely seals the bottom
rail but does not distort the pool liner.
• When the cove is complete, re-smooth the rest of the pool’s dirt oor. Follow the manufacturer’s
installation instructions if a manufactured cove is being used.
• Now that the wall is installed, the cove is created, and the dirt oor is smooth, it is time to install the
liner. The following general instructions apply for a typical overlap pool liner.

15
INSTALLING THE POOL LINER
These instructions only apply to overlap liner installation. Follow the liner manufacturer’s instructions
for other style liners.
IMPORTANT: Only attempt to install the liner on a warm and sunny day, preferably above 72 °F (22°
C). Unfold the liner and put it in the sun for 2 hours. This helps to soften the liner. If the temperature is
below 60° F (16° C), the liner will be hard and rigid and quite difcult to handle.
CAUTION: Have 2 or 3 helpers for the following liner installation steps.
• Carefully place the liner inside the pool at the center of the pool oor. Do not to disturb the
smoothed dirt oor. Extend it evenly until the seam between the wall and oor panels reaches the
base of the pool in the center of the protective cove. Smooth out any wrinkles in the liner
(see diagram 22). Straighten the liner wall seam and so it is perpendicular to the ground.
• Drape the pool liner over the pool wall. There should be an overlap of about 3-in (8-cm) over the
pool wall height (see diagram 19 and 20). Temporarily hold the overlap in place with clothes pins.
• Conrm the pool liner is placed evenly inside the wall (see diagram 21). If the liner is tight, stretch it
to t smoothly on the inside of the wall. If the liner placement fails, it may not be centered properly
in the pool.
• Check if the overlap is uniform. The pool liner should only be touching the pool oor in the center
of the pool. If it’s not, pull up an additional 3-in of the liner over the wall and re-pin with the
clothes pins.
• Start lling the pool and continue until there is about 1-ft of water in the pool. As the water
stretches the liner down to the pool oor and against the pool wall , release some of the excess
overlap material. Before preceding further, recheck to see if the water is level, if not, something is
wrong, and the liner and the pool wall will need to be removed to re-level the pool area.

16
INSTALLING THE POOL LINER continued
• Remove the clothes pins one at a time while applying the coping (see diagram 23). Place a round
rail over each coping strip. Make sure to leave a 0.6-in (1.5-cm) gap between the two ends of the rail
(see diagram 24), then connect another round rail and continue around the circle until all round rails
are joined together (see diagram 24).
• Fix all round rails and copings to the top of the pool wall and make sure they are sitting properly.
(Diagram 23)
( Diagram 24)

17
INSTALLING THE METAL PLATE
• Hook the metal plate over the top of the rail (see diagram 25). The rst metal plate should be
placed on top and in the middle of the pool wall joint (see diagram 26).
ASSEMBLY OF THE RESIN VERTICAL SUPPORTS
• Line up the screw holes for the vertical supports. The rst resin vertical support should be placed
over the joint in the pool wall. Fix resin vertical supports onto the metal plates. Line up the screw
holes and check if the vertical sections are in line. Once all resin vertical supports are in place and
straight, x the resin vertical supports with screws provided (see diagram 27, 28, and 29).
Make sure that the metal plate at the top is directly above the metal plate at the bottom.

18
ASSEMBLY OF THE RESIN TOP PLATFORMS
• Place a resin top platform over a metal plate and attach using four bolts, continue this process until
all the resin top platforms are attached to all the metal plates at the top (see diagram 30)
• Check the alignment but do not tighten.
• Adjust the distance between the two metal plates if necessary to accommodate the top platforms.
Once the platforms are in position, line up the screw holes and lightly fasten with the bolts provided.
CAUTION: Fix all resin top platforms to the metal plate at the top and make sure they are all sitting
properly before nally tightening the screws.
ASSEMBLY OF THE JOINT PROTECTORS
• The joint protectors are for covering and protecting the edges of the resin top platform. Hook the
joint protector over the inside edge of the resin top platforms and gently pull to fasten the cover to
the outside edge. Fix with the screws provided (see diagrams 31, 32, and 33).
Make sure that the resin top platform is placed
with the curved edge outside the pool.

19
INSTALLING THE SKIMMER
INSTALLATION OF THE FILTRATION SYSTEM
FILLING THE POOL WITH WATER
• For protection and safety, all edges of the skimmer and return tting windows must be covered by
vinyl tape or rust proong paint.
• Follow the skimmer manufacturer’s instructions for skimmer installation.
ATTENTION: FOLLOW ALL SAFETY WARNINGS INCLUDED IN FILTRATION SYSTEM
INSTALLATION MANUAL.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the ltration system. Once all of the hoses
are attached to the skimmer and return tting, nish lling the pool.
• Before lling the pool with water, thoroughly check to see if there are any loose screws not
tightened during the pool frame installation process. Also check for holes or tears in the liner.
• Fill the pool until the water is halfway up the skimmer opening or a minimum of 6-in (15-cm) from
the top of the pool wall (see diagram 34). This will ensure water is entering the skimmer opening
and owing into the lter system.
SAFETY WARNING! To avoid pool collapse, never leave the pool empty without water!
The warranty does not cover damage to an empty pool.
Make sure pool waterline is
6-in (15-cm) below the top
of the pool wall.

20
SAFETY WARNINGS
• Install all safety warning decals and signs included with the pool.
• The Filter Pump must be turned off when there are swimmers in the pool!
WARNING DECALS
TOP LEDGE DECALS: Round pools require three (3) of
these warning labels (see diagram 35). Decals should be
placed along the top ledge of the pool so that they are
visible upon entry. The decals will need to be applied
to the center of the top ledge. Make sure the surface is
dry and clean.
WARNING SIGNS
DANGER SIGN: You must install
the danger sign near your pool
ladder or the stairs up to the pool
deck (see diagram 36).
CPR SIGN: Should be installed in
an obvious location that can be
