BOTTOM DRAIN ASSEMBLY (if applicable)
Dig a hole 30 cm (12") wide by approximately 25 cm
(10") deep in the center of the circumference.
From the center hole to the projected location of the pool
motor, dig a 15 cm (6") wide trench. Place the removed
soil aside to be used later to cover the hose.
Bottom Drain Assembly
Place teflon around the threaded plug. Screw in drain
holes using large pliers. Glue the connector in the appro-
priate opening.
Take one of the two rubber rings and adjust it to the top of
the drain, aligning the holes carefully. Secure with strips
of adhesive tape to prevent sand from penetrating inside
the holes once the drain has been installed.
Secure one end of the long black or white hose inside the
drain spout. First apply glue on the drain spout and inside
the drain end, then secure with one or two collars.
Cut the hose so that it ends with the stone dust (or sand).
Measure the pool radius from the center of the drain, then
add 15 cm (6").
Place the assembled bottom drain in the hole so that it is
approximately 1.3cm (1/2") higher than the surface soil.
Bury the hose, levelling the drain as much as possible.
Compact the soil, using your feet and a tampering tool as
well.
Mix three (3) shovels of stone or sand dust with one half
shovel of pure cement, adding a small quantity of water,
then pour the cement around the drain until it reaches 1.3
cm (1/2") from the top.

Insert the wall tracks on each side of the joiner plates,
making sure to leave a 1.3 cm (½") space between the
ends of both tracks, in the center of the joiner plate (See
Illustration 4.1).

Before uncoiling the wall, make sure the pre-punched
holes for the skimmer and pump return are at the top and
facing the planned location of your filter.
Begin inserting the wall into the bottom wall tracks in the
middle of a joiner plate. At first, the wall should be kept in
place with one or two support bars (or extra persons).

WALL INSTALLATION
Make a complete circle, using half of the wall tracks and
joiner plates found in the pool kit (See Chart and
Illustration 4.2).

Chart
3,05 m (10')
9,14 m (30')
One person should uncoil the wall on a beam or a plank
while a second person inserts it in the bottom wall tracks.
Do not uncoil more than 3 m (10') of wall before you
install a support bar to reinforce the structure.
Once the wall is completely uncoiled, you may find that it
is too long or that both ends do not meet by a few cen-
timetres. If such is the case, you must gently push the
wall in or out. If this does not work, roll up the wall again,
realign the grooves and uncoil the wall once more. If the
spread is too wide, measure the wall and check it against
the following chart.
When you prepare to join the ends of the wall, make sure
the end that is reinforced by the fold is inside the circle,
facing the liner and that the other end faces outward (See
Illustration 5.1). When the wall joint is screwed, install the
round stabiliser on top of it.
IMPORTANT: Due to the enormous pressure exerted by
the water on the steel wall, it is absolutely essential that all
the bolts are tighten to a minimum of 60 in-lbs and maxi-
mum of 85 in-lbs and no hole is left open. All bolt heads
must be inside with nut/washer outside. Cover all bolt
heads with heavy fabric tape.
