A. Assemble your Pool Base1. Lay out the Base Plates and Bottom Rails

a. This step is optional: This step is optional: This step is optional: This step is optional: This step is optional: Place sheets of 1" or 1-1/2" (25 or 38 mm) thickStyrofoam on the ground first. Place the bottom rails and base plates ontop of the Styrofoam. Do not leave any gaps between the ends of thebottom rails. Using the inside face of the base rail as a cutting line, cutout the Styrofoam with a knife. Prior to removing the Styrofoam frominside of the pool perimeter, number each piece with a marker to makereassembling them fast and easy. Remove all of the Styrofoam fromunder the base plates and from inside of the pool (the Styrofoamtrimmed off outside the rails can be discarded). Neatly stack theStyrofoam removed from inside of the pool it will be required later afafafafafterterterterterthe pool wall has been installed in Section 3, not before.

b. Place the base plates equallyspaced around the perimeter ofyour foundation. If you areusing the optional patio stones,place one base plate on eachstone.

c. Slide the curved bottom railstogether with the base plates.Leave a 1/2" (13 mm) gap be-tween the ends of the bottomrails.

2. Spread out Brick Sanda. Spread a layer of fine brick

sand (no pebbles) over thefoundation area, 2" (5 cm)deep. Use a rake to make thebrick sand flat and smooth.Instead Instead Instead Instead Instead of brick sand, use thesheets of Styrofoam previouslycut out in Step 1a.

Locate the skimmeron this side

Wind

Remember:For best results,mount the skimmeron the downwindside of the pool(that is, directlyacross from themost common winddirection).

Hint:Secure the slottedtube connector tothe wall with a pieceof duct tape afterinstallation to pre-vent it from lifting offthe wall.

Hint:Bring the followingitems onto the poolfoundation beforeyou start uncoilingthe pool wall: thepool liner, someextra brick sand tomake the cove inStep 5, and a ladderto climb out after thewall is assembled.

A. Assemble your Pool WallThis section is for Round and Oval pools (Round pools are shown).This section is for Round and Oval pools (Round pools are shown).This section is for Round and Oval pools (Round pools are shown).This section is for Round and Oval pools (Round pools are shown).This section is for Round and Oval pools (Round pools are shown).

1. Set the Pool Wall in placea. Wait for a calm day. Do not attempt to install the pool wall in the wind.

b. Unpackage the coiled poolwall and stand it on a pieceof cardboard or plywood atthe centre of the pool. Thecut-outs for the through-the-wall skimmer should be to-wards the top of the wall.Look for a �THISTHISTHISTHISTHIS WWWWWAAAAAYYYYY UPUPUPUPUP� labeland arrow.

c. Start uncoiling the wall, guid-ing the bottom edge into thecurved bottom rail. The start-ing end of the wall must bepositioned over a baseplate, and the skimmer andreturn holes should be posi-tioned where the pump andfilter will be.

d. Set lengths of slotted tubeonto the top edge of the wallas you uncoil it and join theslotted tubes with connectorsas you go, leaving a 1/2" (13mm) gap between each.Make sure the gap is directlyabove the base plate (thisapplies to round pools, ovalpools and Gibraltar Stylepools). (If you have abeaded pool liner, setlengths of liner retainer onthe top edge of the wall first,then the slotted tubes andconnectors.)

Caution:Do not attempt toinstall the pool wallin the wind. Wait fora calm day.


e. Work around the foundation until the entire pool wall is uncoiledinto the bottom rails and the top edge is covered with slotted tubesand connectors (and beaded liner retainers if you have a beadedpool liner).

2. Join the Ends of the Pool Walla. Line up the holes in the two

ends of the pool wall.

b. To line up the holes, make the circle bigger orsmaller by nudging the base plates in or outwith your foot.

c. Join the ends of the pool wallwith a bolt and nut througheach hole. Place each bolthead towards the inside ofthe pool and each nut to-wards the outside.

d. Tighten each bolt and nutsecurely.

e. Cover the seam and boltheads on the inside of thepool wall completely with 2"(50 mm) duct tape.

3-2

Remember:The bolt heads mustbe toward the insideof the pool. Cover thebolt heads with ducttape.

Hint:Stick a screwdriverthrough two of theholes to help line upthe ends of the wall.

3. Make sure the Pool Wall isLevela. Use a length of string and a

line-level to check across thetop edge of the pool wall tosee if it is level. Check thewall in several different di-rections. The wall must belevel. If the level is off bymore than 1" (25 mm) acrossthe diameter of the pool,take the wall apart and levelthe foundation again.

4. Make sure the Pool Wall isRounda. Using a tape measure, meas-

ure across the circle at eachbase plate. The pool wallmust be round within 1" (25mm) (all of the measure-ments must be within 1" (25mm) of each other). Adjustthe circle by nudging thebase plates in or out withyour foot.

b. Adjusting the pool to the proper shape maycause the base rails and base plates to slip outof alignment a little. Recheck all of the baseplates to make sure each one is centred wherethe base rails meet.

5. Install the Styrofoam Sheets (optional)a. If you chose the option of using Styrofoam instead of brick sand,

you can now install the sheets of Styrofoam previously cut out inStep 1a. Reassemble the sheets in the centre of the pool and jointhem with duct tape along the whole length of each seam. Re-member to wait until the pool wall has been installed in Section 3before installing the Styrofoam.

11

Caution:The pool must belevel within 1"(25 mm) across thediameter. A poolthat is not level isdangerous and maycollapse.

15

6. Make a Covea. Make a curved cove about 6"

(15 cm) high and 8" (20 cm)wide all around the bottomof the pool wall on the inside.

b. Use fine earth or brick sandto make the cove, and packit firmly into shape.

7. Install the �Wall-Saver� Gasketa. The Wall-Saver gasket pro-

vides a water-tight sealaround the skimmer cut-outfor the through-the-wall skim-mer. Gently spread apart thetwo layers of the gasket andinsert it into the skimmer cut-out so that it sandwiches thewall. Be very careful not totear or damage the seam inthe gasket or the gasketmay leak. Take extra carenot to cut or damage thegasket when you are install-ing the skimmer later. If thegasket is damaged, youmust get a replacement fromyour pool dealer.

Note: The "Wall-Saver" gasketis not required or providedfor walls using 14" skim-mers.

B. Install your PoolLiner1. Set the liner in place

a. Open the carton. Do not useanything sharp to open thecarton.

b. Unpack and unfold the linerand spread it out in the sunto warm it up. Inspect all theseams and surfaces for holes.

Caution:The �Wall-Saver�gasket is importantfor protectionagainst corrosion.Failure to installthis gasket properlyon the cutout for 6"or 12" skimmers mayvoid the warranty ofyour pool wall..... If thegasket is damaged,get a replacementfrom your pooldealer.Note: The "Wall-Saver" gasket is notrequired or pro-vided for wallsusing 14" skimmers.

Hint:If possible, unfoldthe liner on the grassone to two hoursbefore installation.Be careful not toleave the liner toolong or you maydamage the grass.

c. Spread out the liner, smoothside down. The curved seamshould be centred on thecove at the base of the wall.The other seams will formstraight lines across the bot-tom of the pool.

d. Smooth out all the wrinkles inthe bottom.

2. Fasten the Liner in place(Overlap Liner only)

This step applies only if you have an OverlapLiner. See the next page if you have a BeadedLiner or V-Bead Liner.

a. Lift the sides of the liner and drape them overthe top of the pool wall. If you have a 52" (132cm) high pool, pull the liner up until there is 2"(5 cm) overhang; if you have a 48" (122 cm) highpool, pull the liner up until there is 6" (15 cm)overhang.

b. Fasten the liner to the top of the wall with plas-tic coping. Let the liner hang slack for now. Donot pull the liner tight.

c. Start filling the pool with water. As the pool fills,work out all the wrinkles and smooth the liner tothe wall. Remove the plastic coping around thetop edge of the wall one piece at a time andadjust the liner. Keep smoothing out the wrin-kles.

3. Trim the Plastic Coping and Roll Up the ExcessLinera. After all the wrinkles in the liner are removed,

trim any extra length of plastic coping so thereis no overlap.

b. Roll up any excess liner hanging below theplastic coping and tape it in place near the topof the pool wall. Important: Do not trim off theexcess liner.

3-5

Remember:Do not trim off theexcess liner. (If theliner ever needs tobe removed, trim-ming the liner willmake re-installationvery difficult.) In-stead, roll up anyexcess liner andtape it in place nearthe top of the poolwall.

Hint:To smooth out thewrinkles in step 2(c),use a vacuumcleaner: block theskimmer outlet withcardboard and tapeand put the vacuumhose through theskimmer return hole,between the linerand pool wall. Sealthe hole with tapeand keep the hose 4"to 6" (10 to 15 cm)above the sand coveso you don�t suck upany sand. Start thevacuum and run ituntil most of thewrinkles are gone.Then, stop thevacuum and add 1"(2.5 cm) of water tothe pool. Finally,remove the vacuumhose and unplug theskimmer hole.

4. Fasten the Liner in place (Beaded Liner only)This step applies only if you have a Beaded Liner. See the previouspage if you have an Overlap Liner or below if you have a V-BeadLiner.

a. Lift the sides of the liner andinsert the beaded edge intothe liner retainer on the topedge of the pool wall.

b. Start filling the pool withwater. As the pool fills, workout all the wrinkles andsmooth the liner to the wall.

5. Fasten the Liner in place (V-Bead Liner only)This step applies only if you have a V-Bead Liner.

See steps 2 and 3 if you have an Overlap Liner,or step 4 if you have a Beaded Liner.

a. Remove the slotted tubes andconnectors from the top edgeof the pool wall. Important:do not remove all of theslotted tubes at once; removeonly two lengths of slottedtube at a time.

b. Hook the V-bead over theedge of the pool wall.

c. The space between the endsof the slotted tubes at thetops of the locations wherethe verticals will be attached,should be about 1/2" (13 mm).If you have a Gibraltar OvalSystem , refer to page 2-6,step 2 in the Gibraltarmanual.

d. Replace the two lengths ofslotted tube and connectors.

e. Repeat steps (a) to (d) untilyou have gone around theentire pool and finishedattaching the pool liner inplace.

f. Start filling the pool with water. As the pool fills, work out all thewrinkles and smooth the liner to the wall.

6. Proceed to Section 4a. Continue with Section 4 to finish assembling your pool.


A. Attach your Verticals and Top Rails1. Continue filling your Pool

a. Continue filling your pool with water. Do not put in more than 12"(30 cm) of water until the top rails and vertical columns are allattached.

b. Keep working on the top rails and vertical columns while the poolfills.
