STEP 13 – WALL INSTALLATION (Cont.)
It is extremely important at this stage that the pool wall and the pool tracks form the proper pool size on the ground.
Once the wall is installed go around the pool and re-check the shape of the pool on the ground. Pull / push any
bottom tracks back into the proper pool shape. Make sure that the bottom tracks are not "trapped" and can easily
move on the ground away from the water. The bottom of the pool needs to be able to move out as the pool is filled
with water and the pool wall takes the water pressure. Any problems at this step show up at the end of the pool
installation when you put water into the pool. Evidence of incorrect pool shape or bottom rails being unable to
move will show up on a filled pool as:
·
The pool wall buckles in only some areas, usually close to the ground
·
The pool upright spreads out, usually close to the ground
·
The wall bulges out of the bottom track and sometimes comes completely out of the bottom track.
·
The bottom track leans out, away from the water
·
The pool wall and uprights are not vertical, but leaning into or away from the water
To fix any of these problems requires that the whole pool be taken down and re-installed.
