FITTING THE LINER

- PREPARATION
Before installing the liner, check that there are no foreign bodies in the pool structure that could damage it. The finish of
the underslab will determine the final look of the pool.
Concrete underslabs must be scrupulously clean. Each square centimetre must be vacuumed using an industrial
machine. Bumps should be smoothed and any cracks should be filled in using fine cement.
NOTE:
Fit the woven PE underlay on the floor of the pool.
This underlay is ESSENTIAL and absolutely must be fitted.
Caution: to keep the underlay in position, use the adhesive strips provided (the purpose of the adhesive tape is to mask
the joins between panels) to stick the underlay to some panels.
Do not use any adhesive tape other than that provided. Prolonged contact between the liner and other types of tape could
result in the migration of tape components into the PVC liner causing stains.
Liner installation is more straight-forward when it is hot and sunny (at least 18°C) early in the afternoon. Creases are
easier to smooth out and the liner is more supple. If the weather conditions are not suitable, leave the liner in its packaging
in a heated room for one or two days before installing it. During the winter, the liner should be fitted under the protection
of a heated shelter.
Installation requires 3 or 4 people depending on the pool dimensions.
- FITTING
Unwrap the liner in the shallow end. Obviously the installers
should remove their shoes.
With one person positioned at either width edge, two other people
in the pool take a hold of the other two corners of the liner and
unfold it lengthways over the surface of the pool.

Position one corner of the deep end, snap it into the track and hold
it in position either using the locking trim half a wooden clothes peg
(remove the metal spring from the clothes peg to split it into two halves).
Snap the liner into the track along the width to the other corner of the deep end, position it correctly and hold it in position
with wooden clothes pegs (stretch the liner if necessary).
Proceed down the lengths of the pool towards the shallow end. It may be necessary to hold the liner in position using
half pegs.
Caution: if the liner needs to be slid laterally, detach it rather than sliding it along the rail to avoid any risk of
tearing at the liner track joins.
Next position the liner, pulling so that the base fits perfectly to the base of the pool. For pools with a flat base, the welded
seam of the liner may be lined up along the angle formed between the base of the pool and the bottom of the pool wall.
