Application of the adhesive tape
Apply tape to the joins in the wall (supplied) inside the pool to cover the screw heads (
Figure 20
). This will
protect the liner from damage by the screw heads.

7.4
Fitting the underlay
Remove and defects or debris before spreading the underlay out over the slab.
The underlay is cut to the dimensions of your pool and does not need to be trimmed. Make sure that the
underlay covers the bituminous strips. Smooth out wrinkles as much as possible before laying the liner.
7.5
Fitting the water proofing membrane (liner)
Before fitting the waterproofing membrane (liner), make sure that the surfaces are free of splinters or
any other surface defects that could damage the liner.
Ensure that all the gaskets have been correctly applied.
The ideal temperature for fitting a liner is between 18 and 25°C.
Put the liner pack in the pool (take care, the liner is very heavy). Remove the liner and unfold it across the
pool width (see
Figure 21
) then down the length. Before starting to actually fit the liner, allow the liner to
rest for a while at ambient temperature (between 18 and 25°C) so that it becomes more supple and easier
to fit.
Figure 21 –
Unfolding the liner
Climb barefoot into the pool, check that the corners of the liner wall are properly aligned with the corners
of the pool structure. It is important to spread the liner out properly. Push the liner beading into the liner
locking track in the corners and then continue along the pool walls. Use half clothes pegs to block the liner
in position as you proceed (not provided), particularly in the corners
Block the liner in position with half-pegs (not supplied) as you
progress around the pool, pay particular attention to the corners
