2. Caution: Do not erect your pool on
gravel, asphalt, tar paper or any oil
based materials.
It is essential that all traces of hardy
weeds be completely removed from
under the pool as the may puncture
the liner. Vegetation such as nut grass
or onion weed must be treated with
an effective weed killer before
cleaning the site. Be sure your pool
area is free from stones, sticks, wire,
roots and other sharp objects.
Concrete is acceptable provided a
bed of builders ‘sand is used under liner.’

30. If the plates are installed on soft fill
the weight of water can make the
vertical shift out of level. If in doubt
pack a small batch of concrete under
plate. (17)
28. Your pool is now ready to concrete.
Check vertical levels before concrete
hardens and pour concrete into
excavated hole to ground level.
31. Place the required amount of Sand
inside the pool.
LIDO POOL
26. Check corner to corner measurements
as per ground plan. The measurement
should be the same to have the frames
square.

7B. SIDEWALL ASSEMBLY
32. and 33. Note: During assembly take
special care when handling the sidewall.
Careless handling may result in a
buckled wall, when erecting. Assembly
on very windy days should be avoided.
If a colourband wall is being installed,
select colour preference and unroll
accordingly.
Locate Centre Point Between Pressure
Plates.
Centre Point is 1603mm from pressure plate.
34. Locate peg positions 1 and 2 as
shown in ground plan.
35. Tie a marker (screw driver) to one end
of string line and from each peg scribe the
required end radius measurement. This will
be a guide for laying the base rail.
37. Slide the end rails into the connectors
leaving approximately 32mm gap between them,
and position with stakes so the rails conform to
the radii marked out previously.
38. Check the distance to the apex of the
curve from pegs 1 and 2 making sure
the apex is in line with the 2 pegs
(see ground plan).
LIDO POOL
36. Select and install bottom rails for
between side supports; these rails have
a larger radii than the end rails.
2012 = 2 rails, 2315 = 2 rails
2412 = 4 rails, 2715 = 4 rails
3015 = 6 rails, 3815 = 10 rails

IMPORTANT!
The pool structure and any
conductive materials,
including but not limited to,
stainless steel ladders and
aluminum fencing within
1.25mtrs of the pool edge
are required to be

9. DEEPEN POOL CENTRE
Safety ladder designed for a pool installed in an
above ground situation.
Stainless steel ladder specially
designed for your inground pool.
You must provide an access ladder to and from pool during pool installation. Do not climb on unsupported walls.

39. The Paramount pool wall is supplied with
a pre-stamped, cut out section, sized for
the paramount Sp1500 Surface Skimmer.
It is positioned 600mm from the outside
end of the coiled wall. Before installing the
wall into the rails, ensure wall is correct
way up and you are starting in the desired
place.
40. Use 2 pieces of hardboard, or similar,
about 61cm square. One to stand the
coiled wall on, the other to move it onto
as you progress.
42. A few rails (6) may be placed on top of
the wall to give rigidity whilst uncoiling.
On reaching the end of the roll the bolt
holes may not line up. This alignment is
achieved by moving the rails in or out to suit.
44. Cover the bolt heads with plastic
cover strip (11).
45. Tape it firmly into place starting from
the bottom. Cut off 25mm from the top.
43. When the holes do line up, loosely
assemble all the bolts, nuts and washers.
Note: It is important to fit a washer to
each side of the wall and have a bolt
head inside the pool. Firmly tighten all nuts.
Although the pool wall is supplied with the
surface skimmer section pre-punched, the
eyeball holes are not cut.
This is to allow you to custom fit the eyeball
returns (2) in the most suitable position.
NOTE - It Is essential that the cutting of
the wall for these eyeballs is completed at
this stage of the pool wall Installation, so
all metal filings and off-cuts etc, cannot
damage the pool liner.
Procedure - Position the eyeballs where
required,
- Oval pools; position both eyeball r~turns
at the opposite end to the surface skimmer
- Round pools; position the eyeball returns
approximately 120° and 240°, around from
the surface skimmer.
It is recommended to fit the eyeballs at a
distance of 200 to 300mm down from the
top rail.
Cut a 48mm diameter hole for each eyeball
with suitable small side-cutters (Tin Snips)
or similar remove all metal burrs and sharp
edges with a round file, check hole sizing
with actual eyeball before continuing.
DO NOT INSTALL SURFACE SKIMMER OR
EYEBALLS AT THIS STAGE.
This is completed at Step 18.

41. The join should be hidden behind
a vertical support (10) page 9, start
uncoiling the wall with the end directly
over a connector thus covering join
by a vertical. It is advisable to have
someone hold the end of the wall to
prevent creeping along the rail.

46. Before spreading sand over floor unscrew
pressure plates and fill base channel and
pressure plate areas with sand to prevent
any movement.
Re-install pressure plates
Note: It is very important that this step is
completed correctly. The sand has to be
packed tightly to eliminate movement of
pressure plate when walked upon.
48. Spread the sand over the entire floor area
to an even depth of approximately 50mm
making sure you have 50mm of sand over
the pressure plate.
49. Compact the sand on the floor by
tramping or rolling until a footprint no
longer shows.
50. Installation of liner
Remove all seats and connector plates.
51. Place the pool pad (GROUND COVER)
over the entire floor area and hold it in
position by taping in to the pool wall.
53. Position the liner so that wall-floor
seam is an equal distance from pool
wall at both ends and sides. The liner
has several seams running across the
pool floor, which must be straight and
parallel to side frames.
52. Unroll the liner in the center of the pool
with the smooth weld up. (The liner is
easier to install if left unrolled in the sun
to warm and soften) .
54. Pull the liner wall up over the pool wall
and hold in place with plastic coping strips. (7)
Note: Remove footwear before walking
on liner.

approximately 150mm and pack firmly.

55. Commence running water into pool.
When you have approximately 25mm,
remove all floor creases by working
from the center to the wall. Remember
the more water over 25mm depth, the
more difficult it is to remove the creases.

Do not install these items until the water level has
filled to just below the cut out positions in the
wall.
This will ensure the liner is cut with accuracy and
lines up easily to the metal cut-outs. reducing the
chances of unsightly wrinkles around these fittings.
Procedure - Paramount SP1500
Surface Skimmer
Hold the face plate in position through the cut
out, pierce the liner through the 15 bolt holes (1)
with a pointed spike to allow easy insertion d the
bolts.
Place one gasket on the inside of the face plate
and carefully insert bolts through. starting with
the four comers.
Place 2nd gasket (2) on outside of the wall and
then position actual skimmer box on the
protruding bolts. Ensure both gaskets have
seated properly, fit nuts to bolts and tighten
all 15 evenly.
Finally trim the liner around Inside of the
skimmer mouth, check skimmer basket is
locked and position deck lid.
EYEBALLS
Cut the liner to the hole size in the wall. Ensure
you cut it the same size or slightly smaller, but
not larger.
Fit a gasket to the eyeball, then position eyeball
through the liner, then wall. Thread lock nut on
and tighten.
Proceed with the connecting of the plumbing.
Do not cover pipes until you have run water
through the entire filtration system, checking all
joins for leaks.

LIDO POOL
DO NOT DRAIN THE POOL.
Leave the pool filled throughout
the year, suitably protected
by a winterizing programme.
Unless the liner has been
damaged and cannot be
repaired on site, draining the
pool unnecessarily could result
in excess liner shrinkage which
is not covered under warranty.
If the liner has been damaged
repairs should be carried out
preferably with the liner in place
and removed only if replacement
is necessary. If a liner is to be
returned under warranty, please
contact your local store prior to
shipment. Returned liners must
be thoroughly cleaned and dried
inside and out. Mark the damaged
area with a black grease pencil.
The liner should be folded neatly
and packed securely into a
cardboard box marked with return
name and address. The pool can be
drained by using the vacuum and
diverting the return line, or by
siphoning.
Replacement Parts: Replacement
parts can be ordered from your
local store. Include the pool size,
part name and number when
ordering.
