2) GROUND PREPARATION
The preparation of the
ground is the most
important step in the
installation of the pool.
a) Mark off your pool area
by driving stakes. Have a
helper hold a tape measure
or a string and mark off the
pool perimeter using flour
or chalk. Remove sod inside
the pool area to a distance
of 1 feet beyond dimensions
shown in the plot layout
around entire perimeter
of pool.
41x21
b) Remove all grass from
within the entire pool area.
It is not enough to just cut
the grass. The sod must
be removed.
(12570mm)
41' 2-7/8"
c) Two or three inches of sand is the best for your liner. Using sand eliminates the necessity to level inside of frame area except where
exceptionally high or low areas exist.
These areas should either be dug or filled in. This does not mean the perimeter or frame area. That area must be firm and level by digging
only.
d) Do not fill low spots in the area where pool wall will rest. as setting may cause your pool to become out of level.
Making sure pool bottom is flat.This is a must.
e) If your site is not on firm soil, use 2" patio blocks for the base of the wall Care should be taken to center a patio
block under each bottom plate. The top of the patio blocks should be flush with the prepared ground surface.

7) ASSEMBLING BOTTOM RAIL
STEP
1:
Before proceeding, remove the steel wall from carton and stand on a 3'x3' board inside pool area as shown at down. Put the liner, (leaving it in the
carton) inside pool area.
STEP
2:
Bottom rails between the horizontal supports are set up by inserting each end of bottom rail into side lower joint,Insert the bottom rails around the entire
perimeter using lower joints on the circular portion of the pool.Leave one section open that will be nearest to where you will locate your filter.
Before proceeding to the next step, place a large amount to sifted earth in the middle of the circle. (see chart for the amount on the first page.)
Sifted earth should not contain any pebbles.
Place a patio block under each lower joint around curved area.Make sure top of patio block is flush with ground surface and top of horizontal support.

Due to the weight of wall,some bending will occur in the top and bottom corrugation.
because the wall is built to flex. Simply bend those sections back before inserting wall in
top or bottom rail.
STEP 1: It is practical if two people work together; one inside and one outside of the
pool.
INSIDE OF POOL
BOLT
STEP 2: Place coiled wall near bottom rail one section open.
WALL
Note:
There is an up and down side on steel wall. Locate the skimmer cutouts
which are near the outside end of the wall. These cutouts must be at the
TOP even if you will not be using these cutouts .
WALL
NUT
STEP 3: Bring the wall close to the bottom rail.
Make sure there is nothing in the bottom rail before inserting the wall. If there is
earth or something is in the bottom rail,take out it accordingly.
Begin to insert end of wall into bottom rail. One person unwinding wall (wall
should be on a plywood base for ease of rotating) while the other person is
feeding wall into slot of bottom rail around entire pool.
REINFORCING
WASHER
As you unwind the wall and insert it into the assembled bottom rails, temporarily
place top rail sections on top of the wall. This will help to prevent the wall form
bending or falling over.
Should the wall be either too short or too long,Adjust bottom rails,The
circumference of bottom rails can be adjusted slightly by equally tapping
outward or inward at the each lower joint until the wall ends meet.
Step 4:
Bring the two open ends of the wall together as shown above.
This is one of the most important steps in assembling the pool. Pay close
attention to the following points.
8
Step 2:
Step 3:
Unfold the liner inside the metal wall. Carefully spread it out on
the ground. The seam around the bottom of the liner should be
well up the earth mound. Do this evenly all around pool.
INSIDE OF POOL
1/4in Reinforcing Washer
1/4in Reinforcing Washer
Remove top rail temporarily placed.
Lift the side of the liner over the top of the wall. Form a collar
approximately 3" down the outside of the wall and temporarily tape
it, to the outside of the wall using masking tape at intervals of 3'.
INSIDE OF POOL
Step 4:
Take the plastic edging and clip it over the liner and the top of the
wall. The ends of each section of edging should touch each
other. The edging forms a full circle all around. Cut off excess
plastic edging
1/4in Reinforcing Washer
1/4in Reinforcing Washer
If the liner does not fit evenly around the pool.
Remove the masking tape gently from the collar of the liner and wall. Smooth
out all wrinkles on the bottom of the liner. There may be extra material around
the side. Spread it evenly all around the side of the pool. There may be extra
material in height.
DO NOT FASTEN THE WALL WITHOUT USING THE REINFORCING
WASHERS ! FAILURE TO USE REINFORCING WASHERS AS
INSTRUCTED WILL CAUSE WALL TO SPLIT WHEN POOL IS FILLED.
THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY
INJURY.
INSERT THE SCREWS FROM INSIDE OF WALL.
NUT MUST BE FASTENED FROM OUTSIDE OF
WALL.
Please refer to "Assemble TopSeat ,
Vertical and Cover" of an attached sheet
* Reinforcing Washers must be on INSIDE and OUTSIDE of wall.
* Insert the screws from INSIDE of the wall.
* Insert and fasten screws from hole to hole down to the bottom
of the wall.Do not fasten tightly before insert all screws.
* Fasten all screws tightly.
* Do not leave any open holes.
* Cover all the screw heads with strip of fabric tape.
* Check the level of the top of the wall,if more than 2" off level ,
Rework the ground to achieve levelness.
12) FILLING THE POOL
9) BUILD AN EARTH MOUND(cove)
The hard work is all behind.
Now the fun begins.
Build a mound 6" high and extending 8 to 10" on the ground
around the inside of the pool wall. Pack the earth gently but
firmly.
When pool is completely assembled and ready for water, run water into
the pool. Wrinkles in pool liner should be smoothed out as water is
added for easier maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
The earth mound must be built right. you must rebuild the earth mound each
time you set up the pool. Water pressure can force the liner out under the
bottom rail. If this is not done.This could cause damage to the liner and void
warranty. The earth mound will prevent this from happening.
IMPORTANT: STOP FILLING POOL AT 1 FOOT DEPTH
1)
INSPECT BOTTOM RAILS-make sure they are not scalloped, see
detail at right. If rails scallop, pull outward at the bottom of the
verticals to allow wall and rails to assume natural shape.
By using a string and small weight, check each vertical.To see that they
stand straight.
6in
Be sure each vertical stands perfectly straight.
2in
2)
Measure all around the pool, from the TOP RAIL down to WATER
LEVEL. This level SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THEN ONE INCH.
An unleveled condition will cause overstress of the pool wall and frame.
Remove excess soil as required to establish a level frame and bottom
rail condition.
See " ASSEMBLY OF BOTTOM RAILS "
10) THROUGH THE WALL SKIMMER
3)
Step 1:
For untirusting, All edges of cut out have to be covered by vinyl
tape or rusting paint.
Begin the installation of the through the wall skimmer. Follow
separate skimmer installations.
Set as many hoses as you want to help speed up filling time. The pool
holds a considerable amount of water (ie;18' round pool holds 7650
gallons.).
At one point during the installation of the skimmer, you have to
install the liner. The skimmer installation will tell you when.
Complete the installation of the liner as described next. Then
finish the skimmer installation.
11) LINER INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Remove your shoes. The liner should never be forcefully pulled
or dragged, especially when it holds water, even only 1/2".
When you enter the pool during installation, use a ladder other
than a pool ladder.
Do not attempt to straighten liner after you begin to fill with water.
Severe damage could be caused and You will void warranty.
Make sure the legs rest on a strong flat board
Step 1:
Open the liner carton carefully by removing the tape. (Do not cut
open carton.)

13) HELPFUL INFORMATION
14) SAFETY RULES
1.
Proper filtering and chemical treatments should not make it necessary
to change the pool water.
Your pool dealer will advise you of the proper procedure.
To estimate the amount of chemicals needed here is the approximate
water content of the pool based on full capacity:
1.
2.
3.
Read your instructions and safety rules carefully. If you do not follow
the safety rules someone could be injured or damage could occur.
Plan carefully where you are going to put your pool. It must be close to
a water source for filling. Also think about draining your pool.

7.
Remove ladders when there is no adult to watch the pool.
Remove anything else that can be used get into the pool.
Use a cover if the pool is not in use for a long period of time.
If there is sign of corrosion on pool wall drain pool
immediately, and replace it.
If there is sign of corrosion on other pool parts, sand off the rust.
paint with rust resistant paint.
SAFETY DECALS CAN BE AFFIXED TO A CLEAN,DRY,
SMOOTH SURFACE SUCH AS THE VINYL LINER,TOP
SEAT THAT HAS SMOOTH FINISH. THEY MUST BE
PLACED THAT THEY ARE EASILY SEEN.
c)
d)
The pool should be left up and filled year round properly winterized and
covered with a good cover. The water level must be lowered to about
6" below the lowest skimmer opening if your area is subjected to be
below freezing temperature. All pool leaks must be repaired before
winter.
Do not empty your pool in spring. Filtration and chlorination will
remove all impurities. Leaves and other matter should be skimmed or
vacuumed out of the pool.
