clockwise direction, slide a wall slat
onto the up right slat. The slat
should be h eld abo ut 30 degree s
from the up right slat whil e slidin g
together. Then wh en seated,
rotate the wa ll slat again st the wall
angle. The skimmer slat should be
located between the first two round
side up right slat s as you work
around the pool. Do not locate the
skimmer under the patio. The
return slat mus t be located within
15 panels to the left of the skimmer
as you face the pool.
Be careful not to let the wall fall
over during assembly. The walls
must remain plumb. If the wall falls
over, disassemble fallen section
and start again.
Use figure 11 to determine the
number of slats ne eded on the

attach the walk deck posts. This allo ws the wall t o expa nd to its prope r shape when filli ng the po ol.
Spread the sand across the entire bottom of the pool. Moisten and tamp the sand to provide a solid base.
The sand base must be 2” deep after tamping. Th e sand should be moistened and troweled to a smooth
finish. Create a 6” radius cove along the wall as shown in Figure 15. This cove must also be tamped solid
to prevent shifting. Clean the inside of the wall prior to installing liner.

Step 16: Se e Figu re 1 8. Remove the liner from th e ca rton and unfold into t he po ol. Be ca reful not t o dra g,
abrade o r sn ag the line r. Spread th e liner o ut over t he entire b ottom of the pool. The lin er bottom should b e
centered in the pool using the seam at the perimete r of the bottom as a guide . Locate the triangle shaped tabs
on the u nderside of the li ner. Th ese tabs should be lined up with the four t ransition uprights on the flo or of the
pool. Raise the liner sidewall and place the bead into the bead receiver. Bead must be fully seated in the receiver
to prevent it from coming out later when filling. Check frequently while filling pool with water.
Step 17: S mooth all th e wri nkles out on the bo ttom of the liner. To
remove wrinkles, always pull the liner firmly but gently. No sharp tugs! Be
certain line r is ce ntered. Time sp ent removing wrin kles and ali gning the
liner will give you a neater looking and easily maintained pool.
Step 18: Begin to fill the pool with water. Use a slow stream of water and
fill approximately 1 1/2” deep. Be certai n that the blocks un der the bottom
beams have remained level and that the bottom bea ms are seate d firmly
on those blocks. Make sure the fit of th e liner is correct. Smooth out any
wrinkles in th e pool botto m. Remove the con struction nuts a s previously
shown in figu re 9. If installing a deck, do not fill more than 12” until
the deck is installed.
Step 19: Fill the p ool with 4” to 6” of water. Me asure the distance from
the bead receiver to the water surface at several points around the pool to
be certain that the pool is still level.
NOTE: If the liner i s exposed to the sun for a long time, it will stretch and cause wrinkles. This can be
avoided by waiting until dusk or by spraying cold water on the liner during installation.

Step 22: Fill the pool until the water level is 3 inches below the return hole.
Step 23: Foll ow the in structions for the filtration system, ski mmer and return that are sup plied with th e filter. See
Figure 24 for additional assistance.
Step 24: Attach the remaining safety warning signs as described and shown in Figure 25. If installing a fence or deck
refer to those manuals for proper placement of safety information.
Step 25: Fill the pool up to the center of the skimmer, make sure that all fasteners are tightened properly and your
pool is correctly assembled. Upon completion of the pool it is important to backfill the pool wall to prevent the sand
from washing out from underneath and water from accumulating around the pool which can cause settling or
deterioration. Backfill should be sand or clean well draining soil. Do not use mulch or materials which retain moisture,
or limestone or materials which are corrosive. The backfill should be three to four inches up the wall, be sure to cover
the bottom beams, and slope away to provide runoff. Please read the “Sensible Way to Enjoy Your Pool” booklet and
enjoy years of swimming and relaxation.
