Step 5
– Create Pool Cove and Base
15
5.1 Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth, or fine sand without
pebbles, create a pool cove 4”-6” high along entire inside
circumference of pool
–
NOT OPTIONAL!
The cove will
prevent the liner from sliding beneath the pool wall once
filled with water. See Figure 5.1.
DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH
ALKALINE OR ACID CONTENT, ESPECIALLY PEAT
MOSS, AS IT WILL CORRODE METAL PARTS.
Since chemicals that may be naturally occurring in the
ground can cause discoloration or corrosion, we suggest
laying polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around
the perimeter of the wall, ensuring that no earth contacts
the metal pool wall. Since the presence of such chemicals
is beyond the control of the manufacturer, this damage is
not covered by the warranty.
Use remaining sand to create 2” deep sand base over the
entire pool area to protect the liner.
Rake and tamp whole area until it is level and smooth. Any
bumps or ridges will be perceptible under the liner.
