MARKING THE SITE
1. Mark the centre of the site and drive a stake or screw driver into the soil. (See diagram 1)
2. Tie a piece of string onto the stick. At the other end of the string, tie a funnel. The distance
between the stick and the funnel should be 15cm more than the radius of the pool (See diagram 2)
2. If the pool diameter is 500cm, then the circle should be 530cm in diameter. (See diagram 3)
3. Place flour, chalk dust or lime into the funnel and draw a circle around the stake.

LEVELING THE AREA
Warning! Levelling is extremely important: take as much time as possible to work out a site
that is completely firm and levelled.
Use a carpenter’s level and straight edge to ensure that the site is completely level, flat and firm!
(See diagram 4) The pool contains a huge amount of water and thousands of kilos of weight.
Should the pool collapse due to unlevelled ground, it could cause a lot of damage to property
and even human injury or death!
Remove the higher ground rather than filling the low laying ground (see diagram 5)
Attention! Always remove grass and stones within the circle.
If clearing Kutch, Kukua grass, use the ground cover provided to ensure that the grass doesn’t
penetrate the pool liner and cause damage.
Spread a light layer of fine brick layers sand over the foundation area. Level this layer evenly. (See diagram
Remove high spots
Do not fill low spots
(Diagram 4)
(Diagram 5)
(Diagram 6)

ASSEMBLING THE POOL BASE RAILS
Place the base metal pieces equally around the circle line drawn in Step 3, slide the bottom rail
into the metal piece. The base metal piece should now be placed in the middle of the bottom rail.
Do the same for all 12 bottom rails. (See diagram 7)
Connect all the bottom rails together with a small connector piece. It is important to leave about
an 1cm gap between 2 ends of the bottom rail at the small connector piece. (See diagram 8).
This is for fine adjustment of the diameter of the bottom rails. When all the rails are connected, it
should form a perfect circle and the diameter should be equivalent to the diameter of the pool
itself. You can shorten or lengthen the gap distance at the small connector piece in order to form
a perfect circle. (See diagram 9)
(Diagram 7)
(Diagram 8)
(Diagram 9)

8
FIXING THE POOL WALL
Put the pool wall on a ground cloth, cardboard or a piece of ply wood (see diagram 10). This is to
protect the levelled ground while installation of pool wall is taking place. Make sure the square
window (for skimmer) is on the upward side.
( It is advisable to wear protective gloves when handling the metal wall).
You should decide where the skimmer and filtration system should be placed. The opening end of
the pool wall closest to the square window should be placed on the closest metal piece to your selected
location for the electic supply of the filtration system. The pool wall end should be resting in the centre of the
base metal piece (See diagram 11). Make sure that this location is not in a windward position. Square window
should be in the upward position.
Then uncoil the whole pool wall onto the ground rail. Join the 2 ends of the pool wall together. Line
up the screw holes. If you could not line up the holes, then adjust the gap distance of the small
connectors again or cut away the excessive part of the bottom rail. (See diagram 12, 13)
(Diagram 10)
(Diagram 11)
(Diagram 12) (Diagram 13) (Diagram 14)

9
Place the screw heads through the inside of the pool. Nuts should be on the outside of the pool wall.
(See diagram 14). Only hand tighten the bolts at this point. Check to see if the pool wall is level. This can
be achieved by placing a length of rigid timber or similar across the diameter of the pool and placing
the builders level on the top. (See diagram 15)
If the deviation is more than 2 cm (see diagram 16), then the ground site must be levelled again.
Warning! A pool that is not level is very dangerous and may collapse at anytime.
Check also if the pool wall is round and measure the diameter across a few spots to make sure the
differences of diameter measured are within 2cm.
Cover the screw heads with the thick PVC band (See diagram 17, 18)
You can also use tape to seal the screw heads.
(Diagram 15)
(Diagram 16)
(Diagram 17) (Diagram 18)

10
MAKING A PROTECTIVE CUSHION COVE AT THE FOOT OF THE INNER POOL WALL
To protect the liner against the sharp edges of the metal rail and pool wall, it is recommended to build a protective
covering made of fine brick sand at the foot of the pool wall. (See diagram 19, 20).The size should be 15cm H x 15cm W

so that it completely seals the rail but doesn’t distort the pool liner.

11
FITTING THE PVC POOL LINER
Fit the PVC liner on a warm and sunny day, preferably above 22 ˚C. Unfold the PVC liner and put it
in the sun for 2 hours. This helps to soften the PVC. If the temperature is below 16˚C, the PVC
liner will be hard and rigid and quite difficult to handle.
Put the liner at the centre of the pool site inside the pool wall. Extend it evenly until the seam line
reaches the base of the pool where the protective sand cover is. Smooth out all the wrinkles in the liner.
Straighten the PVC liner and hold it perpendicular to the ground.
Drape the pool liner over the pool wall. There should be an overlap of 8cm of the pool wall height
(See diagram 21,22) Hold the overlap in place with clothes pegs.
Check if the pool liner is placed evenly around the perimeter. Evenly fold the excessive length of the
PVC if you find it a bit loose. Check if the overlap is uniform. If the pool liner is a slightly short, then
you will have to let it down and vice versa.
Fill the pool with 3cm of water to smooth out the liner against the pool wall. Check to see if water is level, if not,
something is wrong and you will have to dismantle the liner and pool wall to access and level the ground area.
Remove the pegs one at a time whilst applying the top rails. Please note that the top rails do not need to be joined
together with small connectors like the bottom rails (see diagram 23). Trim the excess off the last top rail once the
perimeter is completed.
Do not cut the excess overlap off the
pool liner wall. Neatly tape it to the top
rail. If you cut the overlap, it will make
the next pool installation difficult.

INSTALLING THE TOP METAL PIECE
Hook the top metal piece over the top of the rail (see
diagram 24) The first metal piece should be placed on
top of and in the middle of the pool wall join.
Makesurethatthetopmetal piece isdirectly aboveing thebottommetal piece(seediagram 25)
Fixall 12 top rails to the top metal pieces and make sure they are all sitting
properly before finally tightening the screws
Adjust the distance between the two metal pieces if necessary to accommodate the top platforms.
Make sure that you place the longer side of the top platform facing out and the shorter side facing
inside the pool. Once you have fixed all the platforms into position, the trace of pool liner should be
hidden. Line up the screw holes and lightly fasten with the screws provided. (See diagram 26).
(Diagram 24)
(Diagram 25)
(Diagram 26)

13
FIXING THE VERTICAL SUPPORTS
Line up all the screw holes for the vertical supports. The first vertical support should be placed over the
join in the pool wall. (See diagram 27, 28)
FIXING THE JOIN PROTECTORS
The soft flexi joint covers are for sealing the edges of the top rails. Hook the cover over the outside edge
of the top rail and pull to fasten the cover to the inside edge. (See diagram 29, 30).
Fix the vertical support onto the metal pieces. Line up the screw holes and check if the vertical sections are
in line. Once all vertical supports are in place and straight, fix the vertical supports with screws provided.
(Diagram 27)
(Diagram 29) (Diagram 30)
(Diagram 28)

FIXING THE LEAF SKIMMER
Unpack your skimmer box from the carton. Carefully read the POOL LEAF SKIMMER instruction
manual before you start to mount the skimmer box onto the pool wall.
Mark the position of the hole with a cross shaped cut in the centre of the opening. Allow for a little over-hang
off the remaining liner from the inside of the skimmer box and Inlet and outlet openings
(See diagram 31A, 31B)
FILLING THE POOL WITH WATER
Before you fill the pool with water, thouroghly check to see if there are any loose screws, holes or tears in the liner.
Fill the pool until it is half way acroos the skimmer box openeing or to the maximum water level or a minimum of 15
c
from the top of the pool wall (see diagram 32) to make sure water is entering the skimmer box opening.
WARNING! To avoid collapse, never leave the pool without water in it.
Warning! The Filter Pump must be switched off if there are swimmers inside the pool!
Follow assembly instructions for the professional Sand Filter Pump Combo.
WARNING! Cutting more than necessary will damage and void the pool liner, so please do it with extra care.
Follow the installation instruction manual of the skimmer Box to install the skimmer box to the pool wall.
Carefully trim off any protruding part of the liner within inside the connections after installation.
Caution! Do not damage any part of the inside of the Skimmer box and Inlet and Outlet connections with the knife.
