TO OWNERS AND INSTALLERS
Install all warning stickers as indicated in this manual
Any failure to install these warning stickers will void your
warranty!
It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to remove these stickers!
If the labels are not visible around your pool you can be
sued in case of accident. Follow the information on the
next pages to put them at the right place. You should not
use your swimming pool if the stickers are not in place.
If your stickers get damaged or fall o you can ask for
new ones for free.
WARNING
Your pool is a fun area for family and friends. It is designed to be safe and to last for
many years. On the other hand, neglecting the use and maintenance of your pool
can quickly become dangerous. The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not
maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead
to failure of the pool structure that might release large quantities of water that could
cause bodily harm and property damage. Your pool contains enough water and is
deep enough to pose a real danger to its users. Therefore, it is important to follow
strict safety instructions to allow safe use of this product. Failure to follow the
recommendations listed below may result in serious injury, paralysis or even death.
We suggest you to learn or to refresh the basics of CPR, since you never know when
an accident can occur. Check local municipal laws for additional mandatory rules.
Publications are available that describe the risk of drowning, entrapment, and diving
accidents.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
•Make sure everyone using your swimming pool is aware of these
recommendations and follow them.
•Never dive or jump. Your aboveground pool is not deep enough to safely allow
diving or jumping. This can result in concussions, paralysis, drowning and
even death.
• No running near the pool. When surfaces are wet and become slippery, it can
result in falls causing serious injuries.
• Never leave a child unattended. It takes only a few seconds for a child to drown.
• Restrict access to the pool by making sure the ladder is removed, locked or
completely lifted. A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential
drowning and near drowning. That barrier is not a substitute for the constant
supervision of children. If you have a deck overlooking the pool, you must have a
door with an automatic locking system restricting access to water. Do not leave
garden furniture around the pool that could allow access to water. Objects such as
toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb shall be at
least 4’ (1219 mm) from the pool. Your ltration system (pump and lter) should
be at least 4’ from the edge of your pool.
• Life saving equipment should always be accessible near the pool. Either a 16’
(4.88 m) pole with a grasping handle and a 1/4’’ diameter 50’ rope attached to a
15’’ diameter buoy. Bad or inexperienced swimmers should always use a
life jacket.
• Wait 1 hour before swimming after eating since cramps can occur land lead to
risks of drowning.
• No walking or sitting on top ledges since they have not been designed for this
purpose and can be slippery resulting in dangerous falls.
• Do not use alcohol or drugs that may bias your judgment and diminish
your reexes.
• Do not use your pool if the bottom is not visible, it shall be visible at all time
from the outside perimeter of the pool. At night, it should always be well
illuminated with proper lighting.
• Do not use glass bottles or containers in or around the pool. It can cause
injuries or damage the pool.
• Never use the pool during thunderstorms.
• Keep your pool clean and hygienic as it could cause illnesses.
• Never swim alone, if something happens to you no one will be able to help you.
• A list of emergency telephone numbers shall be posted, such as the nearest
available police station, re station, ambulance, and/or rescue unit. These
numbers are to be kept near the telephone that is the closest to the pool.

(TONS)* 1,5 2 3 3,5 4,5 5
* The material required for the foundation should be the nest rock dust possible and can be
mixed with sand.
The installation must comply with the codes of the
authority having jurisdiction and may require permits
for building, plumbing electrical, zoning etc. Check local
municipal laws and rules before starting your installa-
tion, this could inuence the location of your pool.
The Warranty of the Product will be canceled if all instal-
lation requirements and guidelines are not respected.
WARNING
WARNING One of the most important steps is to choose the ideal location for your pool.
This will determine the life expectancy of your pool.
• The ground must have a good drainage and be solid, have a positive slope
(keeping the water away from pool base), should not be on a hollow ground since
this will result in a build up of water, this could jeopardize your foundation and
damage your pool.
•The ground must be free of rocks, pebbles, tree roots, bamboo and cattails.
•Never install your pool in a place where chemicals have been spread, this could
damage the liner and rust the wall.
•Never install your pool on a concrete oor, asphalt, tarpaper, grass, wood, gravel
or clay.
•Position your pool far from trees, electric lines or cables, buildings (house, garage,
etc.). Swimmers could use them for diving and could get seriously injured.
•Never install your pool above buried electrical lines or above a septic tank.
•The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 6ft (1.83 m) from any electrical
receptacle. All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 20’ (6.0 m)
of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The 20’ (6 m) distance is measured via the shortest straight line distance the
supply cord would follow without piercing a oor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window,
or other permanent barrier.
•Do not cover the rail and the bottom of the wall with mulch. The mulch retains
moisture and could help rust the metal wall.
•Do not use foam as part of foundation; this would void the warranty.
IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER BEFORE INSTALLING
1. Follow the installation steps thoroughly without omitting anything. It can result in
serious accidents.
2. Your pool must be level: Your foundation base should have a maximum of ½’’ of
slope. The slope of the oor from the shallow wall towards the deep area shall
not exceed 1’ in 7’ (1: 7, 305 mm: 2134 mm) to the point of the rst slope
change. The slope of the oor from the point of the rst slope change towards the
deepest point shall not exceed 1’ in 3’ (1: 3), (305 mm: 914 mm). The slope
adjcent to the shallow area shall have a maximum slope of 1’ in 3’ (1: 3,
305 mm: 914 mm) and the slope adjacent to the side walls shall have a maximum
slope of 1’ in 1’ (1: 1, 305 mm: 305 mm). The point of the rst slope change
shall be dened as the point at which the shallow area slope exceeds 1’ in 7’
(1: 7, 305 mm: 2134 mm) and be at least 6’ (1829 mm) from the shallow end wall
of the pool.
3. When closing the wall, follow the instructions in our manual using the 2 wall
brackets and all provided hardware (all holes must contain a screw).
4. The prefabricated cove sections should be well compacted. A lack of thoroughness
can result in the liner getting jammed under the rails and perforate. the ground
could deform, making the pool sink in or even burst.
5. The pool was not designed to be buried (inground). The wieght of the soil will
crush the wall inside the pool.
6. No installation should be done on unstable ground, ground with a drainage
problem, ground with movement or instability and at least 10 meters from a tree.
The manufacturer of your Product has no responsibility for any omission of the
installation steps contained in this manual or a non-compliant installation.

THE FOUNDATION
The foundation is the most important step of the installation of your pool. It will
support the pool for many years. It’s important to be thorough and take your time.
Flatness and compactness of your foundation will have a decisive eect on the
longevity of your swimming pool.
STEP 1
Determine the center point of the pool and insert a peg at that point (after having
considered all municipal laws and your existing installations : deck, patio etc.
Do not remove the peg until step 12.
STEP 4
Level the inside of your circle using the gardening rake and then atten the
surface with the 2” x 4” plank until it is smooth. Do not add soil, use the rake to
atten and even the surface. Compact the area 2 times with a mechanical compactor .
Start from center toward the outsides in a circular way.
STEP 5
Setting a 2” x 4“ straight plank on the ground, check your ground level by placing a
linear level on the plank and make sure the ground forming the rim of the basin is
perfectly level. Check every 3’’ to 5” (using an imaginary grid), the bigger your pool,
the more measurements you will have to take. Make sure there are no debris,
pebbles, branches, roots on your foundation. You can use a laser level in order to be
certain that your ground is at.
STEP 6
Drop piles of rock dust on the perimeter (every 4’) that you will then spread out.
Also add a few piles in the center of the pool and spread out to cover entirely.
STEP 2
Dene the sod area to be removed by attaching the end of the tape measure (or
rope) to the center peg, measure the radius of the pool + 12’’ (30 cm), then trace the
outside perimeter on the ground using spray paint.
STEP 3
Remove the sod, branches, rocks, pebbles and weeds by using a mechanical tool
or shovel.

STEP 7
Spread the rock dust on the rim of the circle to a width of 24” (2’) all around including
12” outside and 12’’ inside the rails location. The thickness of the rock dust should be
around 2’’ to 3”.
STEP 10
Spread the rock dust in center of the pool foundation so that level is maintained with
the exterior compacted rock dust. Compacting this part will be done in a subsequent
step just prior to installing the liner.
STEP 11
Measure the diameter from the center of the pool to the interior of the grooves on
the rail on each side of the bottom plates. The distance should equal the radius of
your pool.
When the measurement is good, plant a nail or 8” rod on the exterior center of each
bottom plate so that they can stay in place.
STEP 12
Measure between each opposite bottom plate to make sure your pool is a perfect
circle. You must not miss or skip this step under any circumstances because an oval
pool could cause future problems, and pool can even burst in time.
STEP 8
Damp and pack down the rock dust of the perimeter with your compactor. Once this
is done, measure the level and atness to ensure that the pool will rest on a straight
surface without space under bottom plates or/and rails.
STEP 9
Place bottom plates and rails around the perimeter and assemble together. Do not
push the rails completely in bottom plates. The rail has a graduated scale at each
end, begin by placing to the number 5 which will give you approximately ½” to 5/8”
of space between the center of the plate and the end of the rail. The spacing of both
rails into each bottom plate should be equal at all times.

STEP 2
Reposition bottom plates and rails following steps 11 and 12 (The foundation).
WALL INSTALLATION
Do not install the wall on a windy day. Wait for a calm
windless day. You You must have at least 3 people to
install the wall.
Be careful not to push any sand on or inside the rails
which would make it dicult to insert the wall into it.
WARNING
ATTENTION
STEP 1
Before starting the installation of the wall, make sure you have the following items
in the circle of your pool (inside the rails): two plywood sheets to support the wall,
some sand to make a cove or prefabricated cove sections and a stepladder to be
able to get out once the wall is up and installed.
STEP 2
Note that the skimmer hole and return are located at the starting end of the rolled
metal wall, therefore position the roll to begin the unfolding of the wall of your pool
where you want to position these items.
STEP 3
Place the two plywood sheets inside the circle of the pool close to where you intend
to put the lter and pump. Remove the wall from the box and place it on
a plywood sheet.
STEP 4
Start unrolling the wall by guiding the bottom of the wall into the lower slot of
the rail (already positioned). The rst end of the wall must be in the center of
a bottom plate to allow the installation of the screws so that they are hidden
behind an upright.
STEP 5
We suggest you install the top rails gradually as the wall is unrolled to give more
stability to the metal sheet. It is also recommended to hold and support the top of
the wall until it is fully installed, with the help of several people or by using the vinyl
covered hooks, rope and tent peg attached to the top of the wall to make it stand as
straight as possible.
BASIN ASSEMBLY
Once the wall is completely unrolled and inserted into the bottom rails, you could be
faced with 3 situations :
• The wall seems too long (it is not) See Step 1.
• The wall seems too short (it is not) See Step 2.
• The assembly holes at both ends of the wall are perfectly aligned. Go to Step 3.
STEP 1
If your wall seems too long, the spaces between the rails in the bottom plates should
be enlarged. Gently tap each rail inside of the bottom plate outwards so that the
circumference is slightly enlarged.
Measure the diameter from the center of the pool
to the interior of the grooves on the rails
STEP 2
If your wall seems too short, the spaces between the rails in the bottom plates
should be reduced. Gently tap each rail inside of the bottom plate towards the inside
so that the circumference is slightly reduced.
If you have done one of the two steps (1 & 2) you absolutely have to recheck
the spacing between the rails in each bottom plate to make sure that spacing
is equal in all plates.
PATIO SLABS INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
STEP 1
To have a more solid base under the bottom plates, you can install patio slabs under
each plate. To do so, mark the location of each bottom plate and disassemble plates
and rails. Patio slabs must be buried at the same level as the previously compacted
rock dust. All slabs must be even to ground level rmly supported underneath and
level to all others.
Patio slab

CARVIN®SILVER SERIES ABOVE-GROUND POOL | USER MANUAL
8
STEP 3
When the assembly holes of the wall are aligned, you will be able to join them
together. To do this, place both ends of the wall on top of each other then place the
two steel bars, one inside, the other outside the wall. To help you align the holes of
steel bars to wall, insert two or three punch or screwdrivers into holes to keep joint
aligned. Then, insert screws and nuts provided for the wall (screw heads inside the
pool and nuts outside); do not tighten them for now.
Make sure all holes have screws and nuts. Once all screws and nuts are in
place, tighten them.
Tighten all the screws without forgetting any, because this could cause an
alignment problem.
The pool must be at on the entire perimeter. A swim-
ming pool that is not entirely leveled can be dangerous
and can collapse.
Screw heads must be inside the pool.
Use a torque wrench of 8.5 Nm (75’’ pd).
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
STEP 4
Cover the wall joint by applying two or three layers of 2” (50 mm) duct tape. Make
sure all screw heads are well covered with tape so that the liner is protected from
sharp corners of screws to avoid it from being torn or pierced.
STEP 5
Once the wall is assembled, make a nal check to make sure the pool is perfectly
round. To do this, check the diameter of the pool at dierent places so that each
dimension is identical. If this is not the case, adjust the bottom plates by pushing
them inside or outside accordingly to get a perfectly round pool.
Once the wall is installed check all the rail position. Each rail should be place at the
same number. Ex: 5 all the rail will be adjusted to 5.
COVE ASSEMBLY
STEP 1
If you are using a prefabricated cove, follow the instruction manual provided.
STEP 2
If you are using sand or soil to create the cove, we recommend putting a polyure-
thane plastic sheet to prevent contaminants that may contain sand and/or soil from
aecting the metal wall.
STEP 3
Once the plastic sheet in place, using sand or soil create a triangular shape ledge
along the bottom of the wall of 3’’ to 6’’ (7.5 cm to 15 cm) high by 8‘‘ to 12’’ (20 cm to
30 cm) long.
The cove is not optional, it must be installed (prefabricated or hand made).
STEP 4
Dampen and compact the sand cove. Make sure the center of the pool ground is at
and smooth because the liner will show the slightest defects of the ground.

REFER TO LINER FACTORY INSTRUCTION BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS STEP.
The liner dimensions are usually smaller than those of the pool frame. It is
recommended to spread the liner in the sun for an hour or two before starting
the installation so that the liner can warm up. It will stretch better under these
conditions and facilitate the installation.
Select a liner that meets APSP-4 liner performance requirements.
Do not attempt to install the liner on a cold day without sun.
Avoid to ll the swimming pool with very cold water.
CARVIN®pool can be install with J-Hook and Overlap liner.
*See the retailer for the liner coping clamp strip for the Overlap liner.

FIRST RAIL INSTALLATION
• Align the ‘‘Check Icon’’ with the center of the wall bolt.
• Press down the rail from the right end to the left.
You might need a rubber mallet to place the upper rails in position and properly lock
the liner in place.
STEP 2
Hang the liner on the wall all around the pool. The liner should be free of any wrin-
kles or creases on the vertical portion on the walls. If this is the case, adjust the liner
by turning the bottom of the liner, or by adjusting the overlap on the wall contour.
STEP 3
As you install and hang the overlap liner, assemble the top rails to solidify the pool.
Position these top rails to be aligned with the bottom rails because the uprights will
have to be installed in top and bottom plates which are the junction between rails.
STRUCTURE ASSEMBLY
UPRIGHT INSTALLATION
Before starting the installation of the uprights, check if the bottom plates are
centered correctly into the rails of each plate. Adjust if necessary.
STEP 1
Insert uprights into each bottom plates. Push the upright down until you hear a click.
STEP 2
Holes are located on each side of each bottom plate to install screws. The installation
of these screws is mandatory to make the assembly even more solid against ground
movements due to freeze/thaw.
Do not cut the excess liner on the outside of the wall of the pool. If disassembly
or reassembly is necessary, a liner that has been cut will be much more
dicult to position. If the excess liner is too long, simply fold it and fasten it
with tape.
SECOND RAIL INSTALLATION
• Rail installation has a ‘‘Clock Wise’’ direction.
• Allign the second rail ‘‘Check Icon’’ with the center of the wall bolt or in the
ajustment area.
Press down the rail from the right end to the left.

Start the vacuum cleaner. The liner will begin to stick against the wall. If you notice
any wrinkles, smooth out the bottom. To avoid damaging the liner do not wear
shoes for this step.
STEP 4
Start lling the pool with water by using a gardening hose.
During the whole lling process:
•Check for wrinkles in the liner. To prevent the liner from moving, smooth out
any visible wrinkles at the bottom of the pool before there is too much water in
the pool. The slow ow of the gardening hose will allow the liner to stretch and
give you time to put it back in place if you see any wrinkles.
• Inspect the structure regularly. Make sure the rails stay in place and at to the
foundation. Make sure the wall stays in place in the rail.s and no kinks are formed
when the weight of the water pulls on the liner. If the wall kinks, immediately stop
lling with water, investigate and correct the issue with the structure.

FILLING THE POOL WITH WATER
STEP 1
You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the air between the liner and the pool wall.
By removing the air, the liner will stretch a little and start sticking to the pool wall.
This will allow you to correct the surface of the liner and remove folds and wrinkles.
Do not use an industrial vacuum cleaner that could suck
the liner and damage it or pierce it.
Make sure the vacuum cleaner nozzle does not have
sharp corner(s) that could damage the liner. Tape the
end of the nozzle to prevent any damage.
Insert the end of the nozzle into the return of the wall
(about 12 in/30 cm). Make sure the nozzle is at least
4 in/10 cm from the cove of the pool so it is not moved
or sucked by the vacuum cleaner.
Tape the vacuum hose to the side of the pool wall with
duct tape. Make sure the return hole is blocked
properly to keep air out. The vacuum must be outside
the pool.

INSPECTION
The parts most likely to cause a leakage problem are the skimmer and the water
return. Regularly inspect those areas of these two components to make sure there is
no water leakage on the wall of the pool. Make the necessary repairs to the
protection joints of the skimmer and water return (see replacement of these parts)
to stop any leakage as it may cause rust and seriously damage the pool wall, the
bursting of the pool that could cause signicant damage to your property and/or
your neighbors.
Your pool liner must be inspected regularly for leaks. Also, inspect your wall for
corrosion and scratches. If problems are detected, action must be taken immedi-
ately. Small leaks or holes in the liner can be repaired easily using repair kits sold
at your dealer. Corrosion and scratches on the pool wall must be repaired by using
an anti-rust enameling product. Rub the rusted surface with a wire brush, apply the
anti-rust product and repaint the wall to match the repair to the color of the wall.
WATER CHEMISTRY
The pool water contains several corrosive products for the wall of the pool. It is
important to check that there are no leaks in the liner. Any leaks will cause corrosion
to the pool wall which, if not treated quickly, will reduce the strength of the wall.
The wall could collapse and cause signicant damage to your property and/or your
neighbors and could also cause major injuries to people near or in the pool.
REGULAR CLEANING
Keep the wall and resin structure clean. Always clean chemical deposits that may
appear on exterior surfaces of the pool. Cleaning the surfaces of the pool, structure
and wall, is recommended at least once a year with a cleaning product without
bleach.
Neglecting maintenance of your pool will void the
warranty of your pool

WINTERIZING THE POOL
In regions where freezing temperatures occur, it is common practice to close a pool
during the winter months. This is called winterizing.
All our pools were designed to stay outdoors during the winter. However, it is
necessary to follow the following directions to winterize your pool.
A proper winterization should only take a few hours and will make the spring open-
ing of your pool easier.
As winter approaches, the temperature of the water cools, the addition of chemicals
becomes less and less necessary. However, it is necessary to periodically check the
chemical parameters of the water in order to keep the water clean and without
deviations from the recommended values. Failure to respect these values could tar-
nish the pool liner and reduce its life span. It is recommended to winterize the pool
as late as possible (end September/beginning October) when the temperature of the
water is under 10°C (50°F). At this temperature, the proliferation of contaminants is
very slow.
Do not turn o the ltration system until the pool is completely closed. The early
closing of the system could allow the water in the pipes to freeze and break some of
the elements of the ltration system.
INSPECTION
STEP 1
Before the annual closing of the pool, check the chemical parameters of the water
(PH, alkalinity, chlorine…). Pool water with unadjusted parameters will degrade the
liner and could cause rust on the wall.
STEP 2
Check for any leaks in the liner. To make sure, sometime early in September, check
that the water level does not drop in a week period. If a drop in the water level is
observed, there is a leak. Repair the holes in the liner using a repair kit which can
be found at your local dealer. Check for any leaks around the skimmer opening and
water return. If a leak is found, actions must be taken immediately to repair the
problem. Check that the liner is still rmly attached to the top of the wall.
STEP 3
Check the structure of the pool. If corrosion and scratches occur on the pool wall,
you must be repair them by using an anti-rust enameling product. Rub the rusted
surface with a wire brush, apply the anti-rust product and repaint the wall to match
the repair to the color of the wall. Also check that the walljoint (joining the two ends
of the pool wall) is solid and that the screws are tight.
PREPARING THE WATER
STEP 1
Keep average water parameters in the weeks before closing your pool. When closing,
use a pool closure kit sold at your local dealer. This kit contains algaecide and
chlorine specially made for winterizing swimming pools. Using these kits will reduce
the amount of chemical products when you restart your pool in the spring.
Clean the bottom of the pool of any dirt, leaves or sand before lowering the water
level.
Empty your pool so that the water level is between 6’’ and 20’’ (15 cm and 50 cm)
under the water return. The water return hole can be blocked or closed once the
water level is lowered. The hole under the skimmer must stay opened
Keep the skimmer on the pool. Do not let water accumulate in it. Make sure the
water that will go through the skimmer will drain as far as possible from the pool to
avoid causing ground movements.
For regions where freezing is greater, we recommend lowering the water level
between 15’’ and 20’’. (40 cm and 50 cm) under the water return. Check with your
local dealer to know his recommendations as to the level of water to be kept during
winterization.
Neglecting to follow the winterizing will avoid the
warranty of your pool.
IMPORTANT
It is also recommended to check the water level during autumn once the
winterization is done before the pool water freezes. If the level rises drastically, it is
recommended to empty this water to bring the water back to the acceptable level.
Do not empty the pool completely. This could cause your liner to move, it will also
put your pool at risk of ying upwind and causing signicant damage to your
property or your neighbors. It could also cause serious injury.
If you have a main drain, it is recommended to use antifreeze specially designed for
swimming pools in order to avoid pipes from freezing. To do so, once the pool is
emptied unplug the pipe that connect the main drain to your ltration system. Make
sure the pipe is above water level (to prevent the pool water from emptying through
the hole). Fill this pipe with antifreeze until you see antifreeze coming out of the
main drain of the pool. (You will not be able to ll the pipe since the water pushed by
the anti-freeze will go into the pool by the principle of communicating vessels.) Make
sure that the pipe remains higher than the water level all winter by tying it to
a top ledge.
WINTERIZING THE FILTRATION SYSTEM
STEP 1
Disconnect all the hoses from the ltration system. Follow the instructions manuals
of the various components of your ltration system to winterize. Store all the
equipment; pump, ladder or other in a protected and closed area.
USE OF A WINTER COVER
STEP 1
For the use of a winter cover, we recommend you ask your local dealer for
information. Since many types of winter covers are available, your dealer can advise
you on the best installation for your pool.
Never leave water in the ltration system. It must be drained to prevent freezing of
water in the system that could damage the components.
Never let water accumulate in the skimmer during freezing periods. It could dam-
age the skimmer and the pool wall could collapse.
The pool is designed to support the weight of water in a horizontal way. Make sure
to remove any amount of snow over 12” (30 cm) on the structure of the pool
(top ledges).
During winter, do not hit a pool lled with frozen water. This could damage the pool.
Never climb on a pool (frozen) during winter. This could move the ice and damage
the liner and the pool structure.

SPRING OPENING
As soon as the exterior temperature reaches 10°C (50°F) and the pool water is
completely unfrozen, it is time to restart your ltration system on your pool.
STEP 1
Clean your winter cover from any water accumulation, leaves or any dirt that would
have dropped on top of your cover. Take o your winter cover from your pool.
STEP 2
Reposition your ltration system in place and reconnect the hoses to the skimmer
and water return.
STEP 3
Fill the pool with water so that the level reaches the middle of the skimmer.
Check your pool to make sure there is no apparent rust or leaks, especially around
the skimmer and water return. If you see a problem, proceed with repairs as soon
as possible.
STEP 4
Clean the bottom of the pool by vacuuming the leaves and dirt. Set the lter to
“DRAIN” to clean without the water having to go through the lter. By setting
to “DRAIN” the sand in your lter will stay clean and delay the “CLEAN” operation
to later.
Do not empty water completely from the pool unless it is necessary. If you must do
so, do not leave the pool empty for a long period. A sun exposed liner can shrink and
dry. The structure can move if exposed to very windy conditions while the pool is
empty and create a hazardous condition.
STEP 5
Adjust the water parameters of your pool. Contact your local dealer for recommen-
dation on various chemical products to be added in the water for the season open-
ing of your pool.
Make sure the skimmer and water return do not leak. Any leaks could rust the wall
and seriously damage the structure of your pool.
Never pour chemical products through the skimmer. This could cause major
problems and long term damage to your ltration system.
