ABOVE GROU ND POOL SAFET Y
WARN I N G
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT INJURY,
PARALYSIS FROM A BROKEN NECK, ELECTROCUTION OR DROWNING.
THIS POOL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DIVING OR JUMPING!
DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT, SHALLOW WATER!
Your pool contains a large quantity of water, and is deep enough to present inherent dangers to lif e and health unless the follow -
ing safety rules are strictly observed. First-time users run the highest risk of injury. Make sure everyone understands. To insure
your pool is used safely you must observe the following safety precautions:
1. NO JUMPING OR DIVING
The top rail of your pool is not a walkway and must not be used for jumping or diving. Do not
permit jumping or diving into the pool from a deck or the top rail of the pool. Diving or jumping
into the pool can result in serious injury.
2. NEVER USE THE POOL ALONE
Never permit the pool to be used unless it is attended by at least one person other than the
bather. Someone should always be available to lend assistance in an emergency.
3. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED
Never leave a child alone and unsupervised in or near the pool—not even for a second. There
is no substitute for constant adult supervision.
4. NO ROUGH PLAY
Do not permit “rough-playin” in and around your pool. Surfaces can become slippery and
hazardous when wet.
5. LIGHT THE POOL AT NIGHT
If the pool is used after dusk, adequate lighting must be provided. Illumination in the pool area
must be sufficient to clearly judge pool depth and all features in and around the pool. For light -
ing recommendations, consult your local licensed electrical contractor
6. RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE POOL
Do not leave chairs or other furniture beside the pool that could be used by a child to climb
up into the pool. Ladders must be removed whenever the pool is unattended. A fence with a
lockable gate around the pool or yard is strongly recommended and may be required by law in
some jurisdictions.
7. NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your judgment and
reflexes.
8. KEEP YOUR POOL CLEAN AND SANITARY
Your filter system will remove suspended particles from the water and the surface skimmer
will remove insects, leaves and other debris from the water surface. Use the correct pool
chemicals as directed to destroy harmful bacteria and prevent formation of algae. Remember,
unsanitary water is a serious health hazard.
The safety stickers must be installed as per following instructions. Failure to properly install wa rning labels will void warranty.
Failure to mount these safety labels may subject you to substantial liability in case of injury. Th ese warning are not to be re -
moved under any circumstances! If they become discolored or fall off please request replacements wh ich will be sent at no
charge.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow all safety instructions packaged with pool, ladder, deck or any other accessory.
Additional pool safety publications can be obtained by contacting: The Association of Pool &
Spa Professionals (www.apsp.org)
IMPORTANT NOTICE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION!
9. KEEP OFF TOP LEDGES
Do not walk on top ledges. They can be slippery and they are not a walkway.
10. POOL COVER SAFETY
The cover must have a tamperproof locking retainer cable that positions the cover around the
pool wall and keeps it securely in place. Never allow anyone, especially small children on the
cover. Asphyxiation or drowning could result. When purchasing any pool cover, please consult a
swimming pool professional.
11. ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Never touch or attempt to service electrical equipment, including the filter when your body and/
or the ground is wet. Electrocution or permanent injury due to high voltage (120V AC) could
result. The pool should be bonded in accordance with Section 680-26 of the National Electical
Code. For further assistance contact your dealer or a local licensed electrician. Do not use pool
during electrical or rain storms.
12. SAFETY ROPE & POLE
Keep a safety rope 1/4" by 50" with a flotation buoy with an outside diamter of 15". Have ac -
cessible in a prominent area by your pool . Keep a pole not less that 16 feet (4,88m) long with a
blunt or hook end available at pool side in case of emergencies.
13 . POOL CHEMICALS
Do not place chlorine, chlorine tablets or sticks directly into skimmer, or winterize your pool wit h
liquid chlorine. Damage to the skimmer, pool liner and filter will result. Failure to obey this in -
struction will void all component warranties. Always follow Chemical Manufacturer’s insturctions
when storing, handling and dispensing pool chemicals.
14. CHECK FOR DAMAGE
Periodically check your pool and ladder components for damage and wear. Be sure all screws
are in place. Replace all damaged or worn components and tighten all screws before you use
the pool, deck or ladders. At first sign remove rust and touch up immediately.
15. POOL PARTS
Never modify the pool or accessories, or remove or drill holes in the pool, deck or ladder com -
ponents unless instructed. Your pool wall is made of thin metal, there is an inherent cut hazard
with metal so use gloves during installation. Always use Original Equipment Manufactured parts
for your replacement parts.

A. IntroductiontoInstallingyourPool
Readallinstructionscompletelybeforeyoubegin.
These instructions explain how to install your pool. Simply follow the step-by-step direc-
tions. Start with this part, Section 1 and use the other instructions, Section 2to4to put
together your entire pool.
Section 1also has SafetyRulesand instructions to help you keep your pool clean and
in good shape, year after year. Be sure to read the SafetyRules, and make sure everyone
who uses your pool reads and understands them.
B. DetermineaLocationforyourPool
1. TheTerrain
Pay special attention to choosing the right location for your pool:
• Choose a large area, as at and level
as possible.
• Choose a spot on dry, rm earth
(stabilizer or other)—donotinstall
the pool on asphalt, tar paper, sand,
gravel, peat moss, wood or chemi-
cally treated soil.
• Check with your pool dealer to see if
Nut Grass grows in your area. This
type of grass may grow up through
your pool liner. Your dealer will be
able to advise how best to treat the
site.
• Sloped areas will need to be made
level by digging away high spots, not
by lling low spots—be prepared to
hire earth-moving equipment if nec-
essary.

ImportantNote:
Ground preparation is
one of the most impor-
tant steps in the installa-
tion process. A proper
foundationwill ensure
the rest of the pool as-
sembly goes smoothly
and that no problems
will occur when the
pool is lled with water.

No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules.
1-3
2. ThingstoAvoid
Donotlocate your pool near or on any
of the following:
• Overhanging tree branches.
• Overhead wires and clotheslines.
• Buried pipes and wires-contact your
gas, electric and telephone utilities
to nd buried pipes and wires before
you dig.
• Hilly and uneven terrain.
• Areas with poor drainage.
• Grass, stones and roots. Grass will rot
underneath the pool liner, and stones
and roots will damage the pool liner.
• Areas recently treated with oil-based weed killers, chemicals or fertilizers.
3. PlanAhead
• Will you be adding an adjacent deck later? Be sure to leave room.
• Will you be using pool accessories or other appliances that need electricity or
gas? Locate your pool near these services or plan to have them installed later by a
licensed contractor.
C. PreparetheFoundationofyourPool
1. MarkouttheArea
a. Drive a peg into the ground at the
centreof the area where you want
your pool.
b. Use a length of string tied between
the peg and a can of spray paint, and
mark a circle on the ground. Choose
the length of string you need for your
pool from the chart on the next page.
The circle will be 6” (15 cm) bigger
all round than the pool.

Important:
When locating the
centre of the pool, be
sure to take into consid-
eration any structures
(deck, patio, house) or
relevant items (change
rooms, gazebo, etc.)
that the pool may need
to line up with and
ensure that the pool is in
the most visual pleas-
ing location for your
property.

No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules.

2. RemovetheSod
a. Remove all sod and plants from the
circle.
b. Remove any sticks, stones and roots
from the circle.
3. MaketheAreaFlatandLevel
a. Replace the centre peg with a at-
topped stake, at least 1” (25 mm)
square and 6” (15 cm) long. Drive it
down ush with the ground surface.
b. Nail one end of a straight5cm x
10cm wood plank to the top of the
stake. Choose the length of 5cm x
10cm wood plank you need for your
pool from the chart above. Use a nail
long enough to hold the end of the
5cm x 10cm wood plank to the stake
while you rotate it in a circle.
c. Put a carpenter’s level on the wood
plank and swing the board in a circle
to nd the high and low spots.
Remember:
Your pool must be
perfectly level. Take
the time you need to be
sure your foundation is
perfectly level.
Hint:
Use a surveyor’s transit
instead of a carpenter’s
level, if one is available.

d. Remove all the high spots with a
shovel, hoe or rake. Be prepared to
hire earth moving equipment if you
need to level a large area. Remember,
your pool mustbe level within 1”
(25 mm) across the diameter of the
pool.
Option: Make a stabilizer slab based on
the pool diameter and add 15cm. The
thickness of the stabilizer slab should
be around 10cm.
e. Donotll in low areas. Filling will
create an unsafe foundation for your
pool. Small dips and hollows may be
lled in, but the soil mustbe hard-
packed with a tamping tool.
f. Recheck the outer of the circle, where
the pool wall will be. Make sure there
are no high or low spots. The bottom
edge of the pool wall mustrest at
on the ground and have no gaps under
it.
13
16
Remember:
The outer of the circle
must be perfectly at.
The bottom edge of the
pool mustrest at on
the ground and have no
gaps under it. Take the
time you need to be sure
this area is perfectly at
and level.

4. PatioStones(Optional)
a. Concrete patio stones may be placed at the base of each upright of your pool.
This is optional, but makes a better foundation for the pool wall. Patio stones 12”
(30 cm) or larger will do. Round patio stones will also work. Choose the number
of patio stones you need for your pool from the chart on the next page.
PoolSize NumberofPatioStones(Optional)
12’ (3,66m) 10
15’ (4,57m) 10
18’ (5,49m) 12
21’ (6,40m) 14
24’ (7,32m) 16
27’ (8,23m) 18
b. Temporarily lay out the bottom rails
and base plates around the circle.
Each base plate will show the loca-
tion for a patio stone. Make a mark in
the ground at each base plate.
c. Remove the bottom rails and base
plates and lay out the patio stones
around the circle where the base
plates were.
d. The patio stones mustbe sunk into
the ground so the tops are ush with
the soil around them. Use the car-
penter’s level to make sure the patio
stones are perfectly level and ush
with the ground. Use the carpenter’s
level and a 5cm x 10cm wood plank
between patio stones to make sure the
stones are level with each other.
e. Remove the centre stake and wood
plank.
5. ProceedtoSection2
a. Continue with Section 2 to assemble your pool.
b. The rest of Section 1 contains information you can use after you nish assembling
your pool.

D. MaintainingyourPool
After you have nished installing your pool, follow these instructions to keep it clean
and in good shape.
1. TheLiner
a. Check the liner regularly for leaks.
b. Minor repairs can be made to the liner with a repair kit.
2. PoolWallandVerticalColumns
a. Keep the pool wall and vertical columns clean. Wash down every so often with
mild soap. Donotuse abrasives, chemicals or cleansers.
b. Wash off any spilled pool chemicals right away.
c. Recoat all showing screw heads with clear outdoor varnish.
d. Check all metal parts for rust regularly, at least once per season.
e. Touch up scratches and rusty area on metal parts with matching anti-rust paint.
Follow the directions on the paint can.
f. Every two years, lower the water level in your pool to 12” (30 cm) deep. Remove
the top edge of the liner from the pool wall and look for hidden rust on the inside
of the pool wall.
g. Pay special attention to any leaks at the skimmer and return openings. Leaks must
be xed immediately.
E. WinterizingyourPool
At the end of the swimming season, you must follow these directions to make your pool ready
for the winter.
1. LowertheWaterLevel
a. Lower the water level in your pool until it is about 6” (15 cm) below the water return tting.b.
Remove all hoses attached to the skimmer and return ttings. Makesureallwaterisdrained
fromtheskimmerhousing,andmakesuretheholeatthebottomoftheskimmerisleftUN-
PLUGGED.
2. CheckallJointsandScrews
a. Make sure all the frame joints are tting together well. Make sure the pool wall has not shifted
from the bottom rail.
b. Make sure all screws and bolts are tight.
3. CheckforRust
Paint any scratches or rusty areas with anti-rust paint.
4. ChecktheLiner
Make sure the top of the liner is still attached to the pool wall with plastic coping. Donotremove
the liner from the pool. Removal of the liner will void the existing warranty. Donotdrain all the
water from the pool for the winter.
5. FindingLeaks
Make sure the liner has no leaks. Check the liner for leaks and repair any holes with a vinyl
patch. Leaks in the winter can cause severe damage to your pool.
Caution:
Chlorine can damage
your pool liner and
metal parts. Wash any
spills right away.
Remember:
Any rusty areas on
the pool wall must be
repainted quickly with
anti-rust paint. A badly
rusted pool wall can
collapse.
Caution:
Donotdrain all the
water from your pool
for the winter, and do
notremove the liner.
An empty pool may col-
lapse in the winter.

Remember:
Failure to install the
“pool Winterizing Kit”
and follow the winter-
izing procedures, in
accordance with theses
instructions, may void
the pool warranty.
6. PoolAccessories
Remove all pool accessories from the pool, including the ladder. Leave the skimmer and lter
parts attachedto the pool wall. Ensure that the skimmer lid is installed andtheopeningatthe
bottomoftheskimmerisopensothataccumulatedwatercandrainimmediately.
7. TheFilter
Disconnect the lter from the pool. Follow the lter directions for winterizing your lter.
ImportantWinterizingNotice
AllPools:The water level must be maintained at least 3” (7,62cm) below the skimmer
opening throughout the winter. Surplus water must be removed by pumping, draining or
siphoning so that it doesn’t enter the skimmer during the winter. Removeallhosesat-
tachedtotheskimmerandreturnttings.Theopeningatthebottomoftheskimmer
MUSTbekeptopensothataccumulatedwatercandrainimmediately.
Poolswith12”(30cm)skimmers:
In addition to the above, the Pool Winterizing Kit (Part Number 1370138) must be in-
serted into the 12” (30cm) skimmer (see illustration below)
Failuretoinstallthe“PoolWinterizingKit”andfollowthewinterizingprocedure,

Remember:
Spread stabilizer
out over the entire
pool foundation
area inside the
base rails. This pro-
vides a protective
surface for the pool
liner to rest on.
A. Assemble your Pool Base
1. Lay out the Base Plates and Bottom Rails
a. Place the base plates equally spaced around the perimeter of your foun-
dation. If you are using the optional patio stones, place one base plate on
each stone.
a. Slide the curved bottom rails together with the base plates. Leave a 1/2"
(13mm) gap between the ends of the bottom rails.
2. Spread out Brick Sand/Stabilizer
a. Spread a layer of fine brick
sand (no pebbles) over the foun-
dation area, 2" (5 cm) deep. Use
a rake to make the brick sand
flat and smooth..
Hint:
Bend the first 1/8"
(3 mm) of the end
of the bottom rail
slightly with a pair
of pliers to make
sure the rail doesn’t
slide out of the
base plate when
the pool wall is
installed.
Note:
If you want, in-
stead of using pa-
tio stones you can
make crushed lime-
stone pads. Dig a 12"
x 12" (30 x 30 cm)
square hole 2" (5
cm) deep and fill
the hole with sta-
bilizer, packing it
down hard. Spray
with water as you
pack it down.

Caution:
Do not attempt to
install the pool wall
in the wind. Wait for
a calm day.
1
Remember:
For best results, mount
the skimmer on the
downwind side of the
pool (that is, directly
across from the most
common wind direc-
tion).
Hint:
Secure the slotted tube
connector to the wall
with a piece of duct
tape after installation to
prevent it from lifting o
the wall.
Hint:
Bring the following
items onto the pool
foundation before
you start uncoiling
the pool wall: the
pool liner, some
extra stabilizer to
make the cove in
Step 5, and a ladder
to climb out after the
wall is assembled.
A. Assemble your Pool Wall
This section is for Round and Oval pools (Round pools are shown).
1. Set the Pool Wall in place
a. Wait for a calm day. Do not attempt to install the pool wall in the
wind.
b. Unpackage the coiled pool
wall and stand it on a piece
of cardboard or plywood at
the centre of the pool. The
cut-outs for the through-
the-wall skimmer should be
towards the top of the wall.
Look for a “this way up” label
and arrow.
c. Start uncoiling the wall, guid-
ing the bottom edge into the
curved bottom rail. The start-
ing end of the wall must be
positioned over a base plate,
and the skimmer and return
holes should be positioned
where the pump and filter
will be.
d. Set lengths of the omega
stabilizer onto the top edge of
the wall as you uncoil it and
join the omega stabilizer with
connectors as you go, leaving
a 1/2" (13 mm) gap between
each. Make sure the gap is
directly above the base plate
(this applies to round pools,
oval pools and Gibraltar Style
pools). (If you have a beaded
pool liner, set lengths of liner
retainer on the top edge of
the wall first, then the omega
stabilizer and connectors.)

No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules.
2
3-2
Remember:
The bolt heads must
be toward the inside
of the pool. Cover the
bolt heads with duct
tape.
Hint:
Stick a screwdriver
through two of the
holes to help line up
the ends of the wall.

e. Work around the foundation until the entire pool wall is uncoiled
into the bottom rails and the top edge is covered with the omega
stabilizer and connectors (and beaded liner retainers if you have
a beaded pool liner).
2. Join the Ends of the Pool Wall
a. Line up the holes in the two
ends of the pool wall.
b. To line up the holes, make the circle bigger or
smaller by nudging the base plates in or out
with your foot.
c. To fasten the wall joint, over-
lap the two steel bars, one on
the inside and the other on
the outside. Tighten the me-
chanical screws on the inside
and the nuts on the outside.
d. Ensure that all bolts and all
the holes are use.
e. Cover the seam and bolt
heads on the inside of the
pool wall completely with
three layers of 2" (50mm) duct
tape.

No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules.

3. Make sure the Pool Wall is
Level
a. Use a length of string and
a line-level to check across
the top edge of the pool wall
to see if it is level. Check the
wall in several different di-
rections. The wall must be
level. If the level is off by
more than 1" (25 mm) across
the diameter of the pool, take
the wall apart and level the
foundation again.
4. Make sure the Pool Wall is
Round
a. Using a tape measure, meas-
ure across the circle at each
base plate. The pool wall
must be round within 1" (25
mm) (all of the measure-
ments must be within 1" (25
mm) of each other). Adjust
the circle by nudging the
base plates in or out with
your foot.
b. Adjusting the pool to the
proper shape may cause the
bottom rails and base plates
to slip out of alignment a little. Recheck all of
the base plates to make sure each one is cen-
tred where the base rails meet
5. Make a Cove
a. You are ready to prepare
the cove. The cove is a small
slope around the inner wall
circumference of the pool
which will prevent the liner
from slipping under the wall.
You can use stabilizer, or
preferably, polypropylene
pieces designed for this pur-
pose.
11
Caution:
The pool must be lev-
el within 1" (25 mm)
across the diameter.
A pool that is not
level is dangerous
and may collapse.
9
10
13
Remember:
The cove is an impor-
tant part of the pool
structure. Take your
time to make a com-
plete, full-size cove.

No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules.
4
3-4
14
Hint:
If possible, unfold the
liner on the grass one
to two hours before
installation. Be careful
not to leave the liner
too long or you may
damage the grass.
15
16
17
Hint:
To smooth out the
wrinkles in step 2(c),
use a vacuum cleaner:
block the skimmer
outlet with card-
board and tape and
put the vacuum hose
through the skimmer
return hole, between
the liner and pool
wall. Seal the hole
with tape and keep
the hose 4" to 6" (10
to 15 cm) above the
sand cove so you
don’t suck up any
sand. Start the vac-
uum and run it until
most of the wrinkles
are gone. Then, stop
the vacuum and add
1" (2.5 cm) of water
to the pool. Finally,
remove the vacuum
hose and unplug the
skimmer hole.
B. Install your Pool
Liner
1. Set the liner in place
a. Open the carton. Do not use
anything sharp to open the
carton.
b. Unpack and unfold the liner
and spread it out in the sun
to warm it up. Inspect all the
seams and surfaces for holes.
c. Spread out the liner, smooth
side down. The curved seam
should be centred on the
cove at the base of the wall.
The other seams will form
straight lines across the bot-
tom of the pool.
d. Smooth out all the wrinkles in
the bottom.
2. Fasten the Liner in place
(Overlap Liner only)
This step applies only if you
have an Overlap Liner. See
the next page if you have a
Beaded Liner or V-Bead Lin-
er.
a. Lift the sides of the liner and drape them over
the top of the pool wall. If you have a 52" (132
cm) high pool, pull the liner up until there is
2" (5 cm) overhang; if you have a 48" (122 cm)
high pool, pull the liner up until there is 6" (15
cm) overhang.
b. If you are using stabilizer, pack it around the wall to from a cove
of about 15cm high and 15cm wide at ground level. Wet the sand
to pack it and use a trowel to spread it evenly.
c. Wet the sand on the floor of the pool to smooth it. Pack it using a
manual compactor.
d. If you are using polypropylene pieces, insert them in the lower
wall channels of the pool.

No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules.
5
3. Trim the Plastic Coping and Roll Up the
Excess Liner
a. After all the wrinkles in the liner are removed,
trim any extra length of plastic coping so there
is no overlap.
b. Roll up any excess liner hanging below the
plastic coping and tape it in place near the top
of the pool wall. Important: Do not trim off the
excess liner.
3-5
Remember:
Do not trim off the ex-
cess liner. (If the liner
ever needs to be
removed, trimming
