STEP 18- HANGING LINER (Cont.)
TYPE #3 - J or V-BEAD LINER:
- With a V-Bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips that are
packed in the parts carton of your pool. You can discard those pieces, if
they are included, as they only apply to pools with overlap liners.
- The top of the wall of the liner has what is called a "V-Bead" welded
onto it. Simply open up the bead with your fingers and hang it directly
on top of the pool wall. When this is done properly, the only portion on
the outside of the pool wall is approximately 1" of the V-Bead. No
printed liner material is actually going over the top of the wall to the
outside of the wall.
- Make sure the bead is on evenly around the entire pool, and that the
liner is hanging straight down from the top of the wall. The liner
should not have creases in it because it is twisting around the pool. If
the liner is twisting, it is because it is not sitting properly in the pool.
Make necessary adjustments before proceeding
STEP 19 - LINER ADJUSTMENT (For Overlap liners ONLY)
Once the liner is securely in place by coping, temporarily pull wrinkles in the floor towards the side wall
evenly, leaving the wrinkles at the cove. When the liner is correctly positionned, there must be no air between
the liner and the ground or side wall. Remove wrinkles at the cove by adjusting the amount of material over the
wall. Do not pull too tight- leave the slack on the sides. When a liner is properly installed, there is no downward
pressure on the liner. The liner could pull in if it is hung too tightly.
Start filling the pool. When the water is no more than 1" deep, check the levelness. If water runs to one
side, pull back the liner and make the ground level. When level, continue to fill and adjust the liner. Do not cut
the skimmer and return holes in the liner until fully adjusted and the pool is 1/3 filled.
