6. Insert and connect the top corner tubes (Part D). It may be
helpful to insert both ends of corner tube into the correspon-
ding liner sleeves, and then pull back on the corner tube to
connect one end at a time to the top rails (Parts B and C).
There are no spring clips on the corner tubes (Fig 11).

7. Ensure that all tubes around the perimeter are completely
nested in one another and properly connected, and that no
parts of the frame are racked or crooked. The liner should be
hanging evenly from the top tubes.
8. Slowly begin to fill the pool with water until the bottom of
the liner is almost taught. Remove any wrinkles in the pool
liner at this time, as it will be difficult to do so once there are
more than just a few inches of water in the pool.
9. To prevent leaking issues, it is very important to plumb and
plug both thru walls before the water level reaches the two
pre-cut holes in the liner. For more information, refer to
the section in this Owners' Manual titled, THRU-WALL
CONNECTIONS.

THRU-WALL CONNECTIONS

There are 2 thru-wall penetrations for you water quality system.
There is a thru-wall fitting and a return thru-wall fitting. The
provided fittings will come with 3 gaskets (2 rubber and 1 cork).
Only two will be used in this application. One rubber gasket
will be used on the inside of the pool and the cork gasket will
be used on the outside of the pool. The following section will
give a more detailed instruction for these thru-wall fittings.

Thru-Wall Installation
1. Place a rubber gasket (#2) onto the thru wall fitting (#1) and
then insert the fitting into the hole in the liner (#3) from the
inside of the pool. The threaded body of the fitting should be
protruding outside the pool.
2. Place the paper/cork gasket (#4) onto the fitting outside the
pool. Then thread the locknut (#5) onto the fitting. Do not
over-tighten the fitting as this could cause the fitting to crack.
3. On the outside of the pool, attach the male thread x female
slip 90º elbow (#6) to the thru-wall fitting. Make sure to
apply Teflon tape to the threads of the elbow prior to attach-
ing. The elbow should be facing down.
4. Cut off a short length of flexible PVC (approx. 2 1/2") (#7)
from the large roll. Glue that short length of pipe into the
elbow. Make sure that you apply PVC cleaner to both faces
of the joint prior to gluing.
5. Then glue the slip x slip union (#8) onto that short length of
pipe. The union should be disassembled prior to gluing so
that the union pieces are not glued to themselves.
6. The remaining flexible PVC will be used to connect the
plumbing assemblies at the pool to the Water Quality System.
The skimmer thru-wall will be on the right and the return
thru-wall will be on the left (as you are in the pool facing the
thru-wall penetrations). The skimmer thru-wall assembly
should be connected to the suction side of the pump and the
return assembly should be connected to the pressure side of
the pump (or to the optional heater). The Water Quality
System should be completely assembled prior to running the
flexible PVC lines.
