Preparation For Liner Fitting - Plastica Self-Build Eco Wooden Pool Installation Manual

• Around the perimeter of the pool where the wall meets the floor cut the felt with scissors to be an exact fit

Preparation for Liner Fitting

• The liner will be much easier to fit on a warm sunny day as this makes the material supple. Before fitting place the liner in a
warm sunny position.
• With underlay tape completely seal the outside of the skimmer, return and optional light. The idea is to make the wall structure as
airtight as possible [see figures 23 &
Figure 23
• Working inside the pool use underlay tape to cover all screw heads that would come into contact with the liner. Also use
underlay tape to cover any imperfections in the wood that could damage the liner. Only use the tape supplied with the pool kit.
• Position your vacuum cleaner in the middle of one wall so that its hose can hang down the inside of the pool wall to
approximately floor level if possible. Use just the hose, not the head attachment. Ensure that no part of the hose or vacuum
nozzle can become detached and get stuck behind the liner.
• Locate a water proofing gasket for the skimmer, return and optional light. Refer to each item's own instructions.
• Stick a self adhesive gasket on each fitting making sure the holes in the gasket line up with the screw holes in the fitting.
• Locate the screws for each fitting that are used to secure its faceplate.
• Take four skimmer screws and fit them in the pre-made holes at each corner. Do not fit all the screws, just one at each corner. Do
not completely tighten the screws. Leave each screw so that the cross in the head is located at the 12, 3, 6 & 9 O'clock positions
[see figure 25].
• Take two screws for the return and for the optional light. Fit them in two opposite pre-made holes (usually top and bottom) on
each fitting. Do not fit all the screws, just two per fitting. Do not completely tighten the screws. Leave each screw so that the cross
in the head is located at the 12, 3, 6 & 9 O'clock positions
• If you are fitting an optional underwater light fit its gasket and two screws using the same method.
