1.Clear all sticks and sharp objects from an area near the pool, that is as large as the pool itself. Remove the liner from its carton and unfold and open the liner. Refold the liner so that it can easily be carried to the pool and unfold from the outside of the pool. Check the levelness of the sand in the pool and make sure that no sharp objects are still in the pool.

2.Place the liner into the pool while holding onto the top of the wall section of the liner. Overhang the top wall of the liner over the pool wall approximately 4” and hold it by temporarily placing the plastic edging over the liner and the wall. Continue in this manner around the entire pool.

3.Gently pull on the liner and use a soft bristle broom to remove as many wrinkles as possible on the bottom of the pool. Adjust the overhang of the liner as needed as you go trying to keep it as equal as possible around the pool.

4.Be sure that the seam of the liner where the wall meets the floor of the liner is evenly centered in the pool. Start filling the pool slowly with water. Continue pulling gently and working the liner with a broom, and readjusting the overhang as necessary.

5.Some wrinkling of the liner may be evident and in no way affects the structural strength of your pool.

Once the water is filled to a point that the liner is pressed firmly against the wall install the thru-the-wall skimmer following its instructions. Then you can fill the entire pool as quickly as desired. The excess liner material overhanging the wall can either be trimmed later when the pool is filled, or double folded now to the inside of the pool between the liner and the wall. Permanently install the plastic edging around the entire pool, not leaving any gaps.
