Liner Underlayment; Corner Steps - Endless Pools Streamline Installation, Operations And User's Manual

Once the notched liner hanger sections are installed in each
corner, secure the unnotched sections along each side wall. The
unnotched sections will transition onto the reinforcing channel
which protrudes 1/8" (3mm) further into the pool. The unno-
tched sections MUST be level with the adjacent notched sec-
tions before attaching. Use (3) self-drilling screws per unnotched
section to secure to the pool wall. It's important that the gap at
any joint between liner hanger sections is no greater than 1/2"
(13mm). Fig. 23.

Liner Underlayment

To prepare for the installation of the liner, dry vermiculite and
precut plastic flooring sheets are provided. Vermiculite can be
used to level the floor, filling any voids or covering bumps, if
needed. Plastic flooring sheets have been provided to protect the
liner from the tension straps. Vacuum the pool floor carefully
making sure there are no sharp bumps that may pierce the liner.
Take special care to remove any metal shavings that may have
fallen on the floor.
Vermiculite and Plastic Flooring Sheets
The tension straps make an ideal planar grid on the floor of
the pool. This planar grid can be used to see exactly where your
floor is out of level and requires fill material. Start in one end
of the pool. Pour in a portion of the dry vermiculite. The direc-
tions on the bag call for a mixing of water, concrete, and ver-
miculite. While this can be done if desired, we recommend to
simply use the dry vermiculite. Pour the vermiculite in the areas
where the floor is out of level and use a long straightedge tool
and smooth the vermiculite out so that it is level with the ten-
sion straps. It is critical that the distance between the pool floor
and the top flange of the pool enclosure is 48" (1.22m). This
will be dictated by how the floor is leveled. Make any necessary
adjustments to the floor to ensure this distance is maintained
across the front of the pool. If this distance is greater than or
less than 48" (1.22m) the plumbing of the propulsion system
housing will not align properly and an adjustment will need to
be made. Once you have approximately 4' (1.22m) of your floor
done across that end, place a piece of the plastic floor over the
vermiculite base so that it will not be disturbed. Continue along
the floor of the pool, filling any voids as needed and continue to
place the plastic flooring in place.

Once all of the plastic flooring pieces are in place, use the clear
packaging tape to tape the plastic floor pieces together and tape
to the galvanized panels. Fig. 24.

Corner Steps

The corner steps at the rear of the pool can be used to get in and
out of the pool or can be used as seats to relax in between work-
outs. The corner step kit contains pre-cut rigid foam pieces and
PVC side and top covers.
Position the rigid foam triangles, stacked (12) high, in each rear
corner of the pool enclosure. Fig. 25.
