Congratulations! You have purchased a pool of superior quality and
durability. To achieve the best possible results, follow the instruc-
tions carefully. Failure to follow the installation procedures may
result in damage to your pool or property and void your warranty.
We recommend that you make a preliminary study of the instruction
booklet to familiarize yourself with the different parts of your pool.
Make sure that you understand each step thoroughly before you
begin assembling. We recommend having your pool installed by a
professional. We wish you a most pleasant and refreshing summer.
The homeowner must supervise the installation of the pool in order
to make sure that proper installation methods are followed.
The pool is subject to wear and deterioration if not maintained pro-
perly and could lead to failure of the pool’s structure. Failure of the
pool structure might release large quantities of water that will cause
property damage, bodily harm or even death.
Before installing your pool, you should check local regulations such
as building codes, zoning requirements and electrical codes.
Refrain from finishing up your pool with stones, rocks, gravel,
etc., to avoid chipping of the paint and damaging the pool wall.
Most decorative rocks are very acidic and they can damage
and/or corrode your pool wall beyond repair.
We are not responsible for the installation of the pool. We are not
affiliated with any pool installer and assume no responsibility or
liability linked to a faulty installation of the pool.
Warning : Do not modify any components of the pool without the
written authorization of the manufacturer. Doing so will void the
warranty.
If you need any parts, you can order these by calling
1-888-777-0447 or at www.corneliuspools.com
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING : All pool components, such as the filtration system, pump and heater should not be
positioned in such a way that someone could use them to gain access to the pool. Be sure that
filter, pump, all toys, chairs, tables, buildings or similar objects are at least at a minimum of 4’
(1,22 m) away from the pool. Positioning such objects too close to the pool may allow access
to the water while unattended and may cause serious injury or death.

When selecting a site for your pool, take into account your local
regulations regarding fences and utility laws pertaining to elec-
trical cables, as well as the landscaping which you are planning
once the pool is installed.
Mark the approximate location of the 4 corners of the pool to con-
firm pool orientation and available space in your yard. (Refer to
Chart 1.1)
Drive a stake into the ground for points A and B using the distance
of the straight section according to your pool size referenced in
Chart 1.1. It is important that your A and B measurements are exact
to ensure proper installation and avoid problems further on.
Draw two half circles from the A and B stakes using the radius (R)
according to Chart 1.1
Join the two half circles with two straight lines parallel to line (AB)
at the exact distance (R) from line (AB), refer to chart 1.1
Measure and verify that your total length (E) matches Chart 1.1.
Remove all sod from the area plus an addtionnal 6" (15 cm) around
the pool outline. (See illustration 1.1)

DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ACCUMULATE AROUND POOL. Make
sure to provide good drainage away from the pool.
SITE LEVELLING
The entire area must be perfectly levelled, using a proper levelling
tool. Eliminate any protrusions. Ensure that the surface is free of
debris such as rocks, wood, nutgrass, weeds and other debris.
Start by finding the center points (C) of both side sections using
points A&B. The center point of each side section should be at equal
distance from points A&B. Once both center points(C) are located,
start locating trenches from these points. (Refer to illustration 2.1)
TRENCHES FOR BUTTRESS ASSEMBLIES
Before diging you must refer to the proper chart and illustration
(See next pages)
Dig trenches to a depth equal to the thickness of the patio blocks
(a minimum thickness of a 1 3/4" is recommended) and the but-
tress assembly beam 3 1/4" (8 cm).
(Refer to illustrations 2.2)
Make sure trenches are smooth and levelled without compacting
them.
Refer to illustration 2.3 for trench layout detail, all grey shaded
areas.
Place and level patio blocks into trenches. Make sure that the top
of patio block is 3 1/4" (8 cm) deep in order to accomodate for the
buttress assembly thickness. (Refer to illustration 2.4) Top of but-
tress assembly must be level with the soil.

Chart 1.3

Refer to illustration 7.1. Starting with round section : Place the end
of the first round section bottom track on the foot beam so it is in-
serted into the outside notch of the last buttress post of each
straight section. Place the first bottom connector of the round sec-
tion, at the other end of the bottom track.
Repeat this procedure until the both half circles are completed.
Important : Before going to the next step, make sure that the centre
of the pool is properly squared and the tension straps are straight
with no buckles. Refer to illustration 7.2.
The two measurements, D1 and D2, should
be exactly the same.
If they are not, adjust one entire straight side
as necessary.
This is a very important step,
do not continue until measure-
ments are identical.

WALL INSTALLATION

When installing the steel wall, it is important to do so in a loca-
tion protected from the wind or on a day without any wind.
Before uncoiling the wall, add sand for the pool bottom and cove.
Choose the filter location beside a round section (never in a straight
section). The starting point should be at that location of the skimmer
and water return holes and be sure it is at least a minimum of 4’
(1.2 m) away from the pool. Make sure the pre-punched holes for
the skimmer and water return are at the top and facing the planned
location of your filter.
Begin inserting the wall into the bottom tracks in the middle of a
bottom connector. At first, the wall is kept in place with one or two
stakes and strings (or extra people). One person uncoils the wall
on two beams or planks, while a second person inserts it in the
bottom tracks. Do not uncoil more than 10' (3 m) of wall before
you install a support bar or stake and string to hold the wall in place.
Also in the straight section, temporarily secure the wall with trans-
parent tape to the buttress posts.
Once the wall is completely uncoiled, you may find that it is too
long or that both ends do not meet perfectly. If such is the case,
adjust the tracks and bottom connectors until wall holes line up.
If this does not work, roll up the wall again, check measurements
as per chart 1.4 (next page), adjust tracks and bottom connectors
and if applicable, uncoil the wall again. If the spread is too wide,
measure the wall and check it against the chart of actual wall
lengths below. Join both ends of the wall by orienting folds outward
to hide the exclamation icon per illustration below.
Note : If the wall joint is positioned properly, you should no
longer see the exclamation icon. If you can see the icon, you
must reverse the overlap.
Insert bolts and nuts (BB) in every hole and tighten with wrench
(screw head on water side of wall). Tape over screw heads with 3
layers of duck tape. You must use the wall bolts and nuts supplied
in the wall box.

You can now spread 2" (5 cm) of compaction sand, which is al-
ready inside the pool perimeter. Also, build a 4" cove, not needded
if prefab cove used 4" (10 cm) thick around the inside base of the
wall. Compact the center with a tampering tool or vibrating plate
and the cove by hand. The cove will protect the liner from the sharp
edges of the bottom wall tracks.
Level compaction sand one last time. Make sure that any sharp
stones, debris or roots have been removed from the surface. For
better protection, spray sand with water and pack it once more until
the base is smooth, even and levelled.

This is to complement liner manufacturer’s instructions. If you
have any questions, please refer to the liner manufacturer’s in-
structions, first.
1- Overlap liner : Install the coping strip* around the perimeter of
the pool, then the top track on the wall, followed by the top plate on
each upright. As the pool is filling, adjust the length of the liner on
the wall by removing one top track at a time. Never remove more
than one top track at a time.
2- U-Bead (J-Hook) (installed directly on the wall) : Hang the liner
bead on the top of the wall and install the top track to secure it fol-
lowed by the top plate on each upright.
3- Using liner retainer : Install the liner retainer on the top of the wall
around the perimeter of the pool and then hang the liner bead in the
lower part of the liner retainer around the whole pool. Install the top
track to secure followed by the top plate on each upright.
*Required but not included with all kits.
