FILLING THE POOL WITH A FIRE HYDRANT OR TANKER TRUCK
Fill the hopper with 2' of water from a garden hose before the high-pressure source is turned
on. Direct the water from this source into the partially filled hopper. This procedure should be
followed because water from a high-pressure source, if allowed to hit the hopper sides or
bottom directly, can make an impression under the liner and disturb an otherwise smooth pool
area. Flush the water line to remove any accumulated sediment that may be in the water
hydrant lines.
STEP FACEPLATES
Install the step and swim-out faceplates being careful not to
strip or break the screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. The gasket
should be located between the step and the liner. For
installation of step section faceplates please defer to the
individual manufacturer's instructions. Carefully use a razor
to cut out the liner material on the step side of the faceplate.
INSTALLATION OF LIGHT NICHE FACEPLATE
As the water reaches to approximately 2" below the bottom of the
light niche opening proceed as follows to install light niche faceplate.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions first. Remove the previously
installed faceplate screw by piercing the liner at the screw head and
removing the screws. Align the faceplate right side up. Insert screws
through the faceplate into the liner holes and partially tighten. Insert
the remaining screws, piercing the liner and tightening each in a
cross-pattern sequence. Check all screws for tightness one final time.
Make sure conduit is installed water tight to a point at least 12"
above the pool coping before continuing to fill the pool.
INSTALLATION OF THE RETURN INLET FITTING AND SKIMMER FACEPLATE
When water is approximately 6" below inlets, install the inlet
fitting faceplates. Remove previously installed faceplate
screws. Position the faceplate and re-install the screws.
Partially tighten each screw. Insert the remaining two screws
and tighten all screws in a cross pattern sequence. Cut the
liner inside the faceplate. You will want to complete PVC
plumbing before the pool water level reaches the return inlet.
IMPORTANT!
Consult the
current National
Electrical Code
Handbook for
specific
requirements on
installation.
IMPORTANT! Do not fill
the pool more than ¾
full unless the back filling
is ¾ completed. The
water pressure can over
stress the pool walls.
