Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL B. ASSEMBLING THE COVE 1. Make the cove a. If you are using sand, bank the sand against the wall to form a cove of 3” to 6” (7.5cm to 15cm) high and 8” to 12” (20cm to 30cm) wide at ground level. This will prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner from any metal edges of the pool framework. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL, IT MUST BE DONE. (Image 9) b.
Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL B. CONT. ASSEMBLING THE COVE e. A vacuum cleaner can later be used to remove the air from between the liner and the wall. This technique enables you to remove folds in the liner. (Image 12) However the following precautions should be taken: Do not use an industrial vacuum cleaner which could be too powerful. Tape the end of the vacuum hose before inserting it into the wall so as not to damage the liner.
Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL C. INSTALL THE POOL LINER 1. Set the liner in place a. Open the carton. Do not use anything sharp to open the carton. b. Unpack and unfold the liner and spread it out in the sun to warm it up. Inspect all the seams and surfaces for holes. c. Remove your shoes to avoid damaging the base or tearing the liner. d. Spread out the liner, smooth side down. Unfold the liner from the centre of the pool toward the sides.
Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL C. CONT. INSTALL THE POOL LINER - OVERLAP Please ensure to follow instructions that match the type of liner you may have. 2. Fasten the liner place (OVERLAP ONLY) a. Starting at the liner wall seam, hang the liner over the wall making sure that the seam is straight up and down, perpendicular to the floor. (Remove stabilizers gradually as you fold the liner over the top of the wall.
Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL C. CONT. INSTALL THE POOL LINER - OVERLAP f. After all the wrinkles in the liner are removed, trim any extra length of plastic coping so there is no overlap. (Image 19) g. Roll up any excess liner hanging below the plastic coping and tape it in place near the top of the pool wall. Important: Do not trim off the excess liner. (Image 20) 19 Important Note: Do not trim off the excess liner.
Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL C. CONT. INSTALL THE POOL LINER - HUNG/J OR V-BEAD 4. Fasten the liner in place (HUNG/J or V-BEAD LINER ONLY) a. With a V-Bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips. Coping strips only apply to pools with overlap liners. b. 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.
Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL C. CONT. INSTALL THE POOL LINER - BEADLOCK/SNAPBEAD 3. Fasten the liner place (BEADLOCK/SNAPBEAD LINER ONLY) a. With a snap bead liner you will not use the plastic coping strips. Instead, you should have received a beaded liner track (referred to as a “coping bead receiver” in Image 22). b. The beaded liner track should be installed onto the pool wall all of the way around the pool.
Section 4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL FRAME A. INSTALLATION OF THE UPRIGHTS - ROUND SECTION 1. Install the uprights - round section a. The wall joint is hidden behind the upright on most pools. This assures that the skimmer and skimmer return holes are not obstructed. b. Insert an upright into the bottom plate. Ensure that the upright is correctly inserted into the bottom plate. (Image 1) c.
Section 4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL FRAME B. INSTALLATION OF THE STABILIZERS AND TOP PLATES 1. Install stabilizers and top plates a. Install the stabilizer on the wall while ensuring to leave a gap between each end. You must insert the stabilizer inside the vertical tabs that are at the top of the upright. Theses tabs will allow a better solidity of the assembly and will also facilitate installation. (Image 4 & 5) b. Place the top plates on the top of the upright.
Section 4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL FRAME C. INSTALLATION OF TOP LEDGE AND LEDGE COVERS 1. Install top ledge and ledge covers a. Place top ledges on the wall. Align the holes on the top ledges with those on the top plates. Make sure the space left between each top ledge is uniform all around and that the space in question can be covered by a ledge cover. Attach the top ledges to the top plates using the four special plastic screws.
Section 4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL FRAME C. CONT. INSTALLATION OF TOP LEDGE AND LEDGE COVERS b. You must now install the top ledge covers (one on the left side and one on the right side of each top ledge). Fit the finishing pieces onto the openings of the top ledges. (Image 10) 10 c. Start the top ledge cover installation by positioning the piece into an angle of 45 degree to insert the interior clip into the openings of the top ledge.
Section 4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BRACELESS OVAL POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL FRAME D. FILL YOUR POOL WITH WATER 1. Finish filling the pool a. Turn off the vacuum and carefully remove it from the pool. b. Fill the pool with water to 2” (5cm) below the lowest opening. Make sure you remove any creases from the liner in the bottom of the pool before the water level gets too high. c. While the pool is filling, remvoe the nails that were holding the bottom rails in place. d. Your pool is now installed.
Section 5 POOL MAINTENANCE MAINTAINING YOUR POOL POOL MAINTENANCE Keep your pool wall and frame clean. Always wash away any deposits of pool chemicals which land on the frame of your pool. Wash periodically with a mild soap solution (no abrasives). At least once a year use a clear non-yellowing household wax on all metal components. Your pool and liner must be inspected regularly for leaks, corrosion, scratches, and punctures. If any problem is found IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN.
Section 5 POOL MAINTENANCE WINTERIZING YOUR POOL WINTERIZING YOUR POOL Along with the cool nights of autumn comes the end of the swimming season. During the winter your pool is subject to more stress than in the summer, and any breakage that is caused by incorrect winter procedures is not subject to any warranty with this company. All of our pools are designed to be left up all winter, but nonetheless are subject to the warranty that was purchased.
Section 5 POOL MAINTENANCE WINTERIZING YOUR POOL WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS For areas where water freezes make sure to follow these instructions before the water is frozen, otherwise do not touch the frozen water, this may damage the pool. a. Towards the end of the summer season or around mid-August, check for leaks by verifying if the pool’s water level is stable. Draw a line on the liner marking the water level and wait 10 days. If after 10 days the level has dropped, then there is a leak.
Section 5 POOL MAINTENANCE WINTERIZING YOUR POOL WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED f. To maintain water quality, use a winter kit which contains an algicide and chlorine especially designed for this purpose. When it’s time for spring cleaning, this will save you hours of work and reduce the cost of chemicals needed to restore your water quality. g. If using an autumn cover, make sure to place a ball underneath so that rainwater falls into the pool.
Section 5 POOL MAINTENANCE SPRINGTIME CLEANING OF YOUR POOL PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING At the end of winter, allow the ice in the pool to thaw completely. When the temperature reaches approximately 10 °C (50 °F), you have to restart your filtration system, since algae and bacterial form more quickly as it gets warmer. Here is how to prepare your pool in a few simple easy steps. a. If your pool is equipped with a pool cover, remove the cover and cushion.
Section 5 POOL MAINTENANCE SPRINGTIME CLEANING OF YOUR POOL PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING CONTINUED d. When the pH and alkaline levels are ideal, apply a shock-treatment or chlorinate your water. Let it filter for 24 hours and again verify both the pH and free chlorine l evels. NOTE: Add chemical products to your pool after sunset, as sunlight rapidly destroys chlorine. e. Let it filter for several days until the water is clear and the pH and free chlorine levels have stabilized.
