Aquarian Above Ground Pool Installation without Braces
1. Installing your Above Ground Pool
The pool must be installed on lever, firm (undug, non-filled) earth. We do not recommend backfilling or grading earth up against the pool wall or frame covering any part of them.
- Check local building codes for setback from house and property lines
- Check regulations concerning fence height and position
- Check above and below ground for existing gas, electric, telephone and water lines
Erecting a pool on blacktop, tar paper, asphalt, concrete, gravel, or any soil containing sharp objects will invalidate liner warranty.
- Sod should be removed to prevent irregular bottom and any unpleasant odor from decaying grass
- Do not use any oil based weed killer on cleared ground as it could stain the liner. Use weed killer made especially for swimming pool base applications
- Material for bottom of pool should be fine and free sharp objects
Recommended Materials
- Fine (shell free) sand or vermiculite
For Hard Bottom
- 6 parts of either material can be mixed with 1 part cementl applied dampened 2" thick, smoothed and packed with a trowel. Cove 6" up wall around pool.
If nutgrass is prevalent in your area use special chemicals with kill nutgrass in pool areas. Consult your local hardware of lawn care company.
Note: pH and chlorine balance must be maintained at normal levels. Excessive pH change r chlorine load will result in liner fading, tyrning brittle and either fading or puckering. This is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
Winterize your Pool according to the instructions provided. Failing to do so will void the pool and/or liner warranty.
Note: never empty your pool. Without water in your pool, the oiner is subject to shrinkage and the pool is subjected to strong wind damage.
