SELECTING A SUITABLE SITE Carefully select the site for your new pool. This is the most important decision to ensure the safety and success of your pool’s construction. An incorrect site could cause problems in the future that may result in injury, death, or financial loss. Carefully read the check list below when selecting your site. Acceptable: Tools and Materials Required: •...
POOL SETUP POOL SITE PREPARATION Remember ground preparation is the most important step in the installation of the pool. Do not install the pool over underground power lines, sewer lines, or other structures. Do not install on cement, asphalt, or other hard surfaces. 1.
LEVELING THE AREA WARNING! Leveling is extremely important: take as much time as necessary to ensure the pool site is completely firm and leveled. • WARNING: The pool contains thousands of gallons of water. Should the pool collapse due to unleveled ground, it could cause significant property damage and even result in injury or death.
ASSEMBLING THE POOL RAIL IMPORTANT: Leave about 0.6-in (1.5-cm) gap between the 2 ends of the bottom rail (see diagram 5). NOTE: It is recommended that a 2-in patio block is place under each foot plate. The patio blocks must be dug into the dirt so the bottom rails and foot plates lay flush on the ground. •...
INSTALLING THE POOL WALL DO NOT ATTEMPT WALL INSTALLATION ON A WINDY DAY! CAUTION: It is advisable to wear protective gloves when handling the metal wall. CAUTION: Have 2 or 3 additional people for the installation of the pool wall into the bottom rail. This is necessary to hold the pool wall upright until the wall ends are connected and the bolts have been inserted in the bolt holes.
MEASURING THE POOL WALL WARNING: A POOL THAT IS NOT LEVEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY COLLAPSE AT ANYTIME. • Check the pool wall level by placing a 2-in x 4-in board or similar across the diameter of the pool wall and placing a level on the top of the board.
PROTECTIVE SAND CUSHION Making a Protective Sand Cushion at the Foot of the Inner Pool Wall ATTENTION: THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP THAT WILL PREVENT THE LINER FROM BEING FORCED OUT UNDER THE WALL, TEARING, AND RELEASING THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WATER INTO THE YARD.
INSTALLING THE POOL LINER These instructions only apply to overlap liner installation. Follow the liner manufacturer’s instructions for other style liners. IMPORTANT: Only attempt to install the liner on a warm and sunny day, preferably above 72 °F (22° C). Unfold the liner and put it in the sun for 2 hours. This helps to soften the liner. If the temperature is below 60°...

INSTALLING THE POOL LINER continued • Remove the clothes pins one at a time while applying the top rails (see diagram 23). • Slide the rail connectors into one end of the top rail, make sure to leave a 0.6-in (1.5cm) gap between the two ends of the rail (see diagram 24), then connect another top rail and continue around the circle until all top rails are joined together (see diagram 24).
INSTALLING THE METAL PLATE • The first metal plate should be placed over the top rail and in the middle of the pool wall joint (see diagram 25). • Place the remaining metal top plates on top of the top rail, between the rail joints and aligned with the metal bottom plates (see diagram 26).
INSTALLING THE METAL PLATE continued • Adjust the distance between the two metal plates if necessary to fit the top ledges. Make sure that you place the longer side of the top ledge facing out and the shorter side facing inside the pool. Once you have fixed all the ledges into position, line up the screw holes and lightly fasten with the bolts, washes, lock washes and nuts provided (see diagram 29).
ASSEMBLY OF THE RESIN VERTICAL SUPPORTS • Line up the screw holes for the vertical supports. The first resin vertical support should be placed over the joint in the pool wall. Fix resin vertical supports onto the metal plates. Line up the screw holes and check if the vertical sections are in line.
INSTALLING THE SKIMMER • For protection and safety, all edges of the skimmer and return fitting windows must be covered by vinyl tape or rust proofing paint. • Follow the skimmer manufacturer’s instructions for skimmer installation. INSTALLATION OF THE FILTRATION SYSTEM ATTENTION: FOLLOW ALL SAFETY WARNINGS INCLUDED IN FILTRATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL.
SAFETY WARNINGS • Install all safety warning decals and signs included with the pool. • The Filter Pump must be turned off when there are swimmers in the pool! WARNING DECALS TOP LEDGE DECALS: Round pools require three (3) of these warning labels (see diagram 36).
