THIS POOL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DIVING OR JUMPING.

DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT-SHALLOW WATER!!!

ROUND POOL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Your pool is designed for years of pleasurable, safe family fun. But, when used

incorrectly, a swimming pool can be dangerous. To insure your pool is used

safely you must observe the following safety precautions:

Do not dive!-Do not jump!- No rough play!- No running or pushing!

Do not walk on the top rail. It can be slippery and is not a walkway.

Be sure to install all safety labels provided with your pool according to the

instructions.

Keep a safety rope 1/4” by 50’ with a flotation buoy with an outside diameter of 15”.

Have accessible in a prominent area by your pool.

Post near all entrances to pool area; a list of telephone numbers of the:

• Nearest available police • Nearest ambulance service

• Nearest available fire department • Nearest available hospital

• Nearest available rescue unit • Nearest available physician

• 911 emergency number if available

Provide fencing or enclosure which is independent of the house as a closure

around the entire pool area. The fencing must be made of durable material, a

minimum of 4’ in height from ground level and with closures with self-latching

locks, to make pool inaccessible to toddlers and uninvited guests. Make sure

gate is always closed. Be sure to follow local building code requirements for load

capacity and fencing if using an aftermarket or homebuilt deck. You must make

sure all fence and barriers are in working order so that pool is always protected.

Check with your local town for any special laws in your locale.

Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your

judgment and reflexes.

Never use pool alone. All children must be supervised continuously.

Do not use pool if bottom is not clearly visible: At night, sufficient lighting must

be available. It is the pool owners sole responsibility to provide adequate

lighting for pool bottom, safety signs and walkways, which exceeds minimum

standards of the IES of North America.

Do not climb, stand or sit on any pool structure or the filter system. Components

such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to

prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.

Be sure that all toys, chairs and tables or similar objects that a young child could

climb on be at least four feet (4’) from pool.

Do not use pool during electrical or rain storms.

See available National Spa and Pool Institute (NSPI), publications for more tips on pool safety.

Above Ground Pool Assembly & Installation

Follow All Safety and Maintenance Instructions

INTRODUCTION:

Congratulations on becoming the owner of a new Sharkline above ground swimming pool. This is the

instruction packet for installing your swimming pool. The following are some helpful hints that you should take

into consideration before installing your pool.

1) Read through the entire instruction booklet before you begin. This will enable you to find out exactly what is

involved with installing your swimming pool before you begin. While you are going through the instructions,

please be aware that all of the diagrams are representative of a 15' x 30' pool. If you have a dif ferent

size pool you will find that your pool has a dif ferent number of uprights than the ones in the diagrams.

2) DO NOT ATTEMPT INSTALLATION IN WINDY OR GUSTY WEATHER. This will not only make

installation more difficult, it may result in damage to your pool before it is completely installed.

3) Although we have broken down the installation into many simple steps, you will probably find that steps one

and two will be the most labor intensive and time consuming steps. Once you have completed those two steps

you should find that the rest of the installation moves along much more quickly .

4) Please be sure to review all safety material and local codes before beginning your installation. There is a yellow

safety envelope packed with your pool. This envelope contains safety material and warning stickers to be

placed on your pool. If you are missing any of these items please contact your dealer or the factory to obtain it.

The warranty is void if all safety precautions are not followed.

5) In the event that you need to make a warranty claim, it is important to know the size and model of your

swimming pool in order to expedite the handling of your claim. Please fill in the information below and keep

for your records.

Radius means the measurement from the center point of the pool to the pool wall.

STEP 1: POOL LOCATION

Do not locate pool over underground lines, septic tanks, under electrical lines, near hazardous structures, or out of local code

restrictions. It is essential that the area selected for your pool has a level and firm base. Do not assemble your pool on asphalt,

tar or oil base surfaces. Avoid areas with sharp objects, or ground treated with weed killer or other chemicals. Also avoid areas

where nut grass, Bermuda grass or bamboo grass grows, as they can grow through your liner. Grass must be removed. Do not

place components such as filters, pumps, and heaters in a way that they can be used as a means of access to pool by young

children. Be sure to follow all local building codes and obtain all building permits required for your area.

Remove soil and

grass from high

areas to be

equal with the

low areas.

Remove grass only

from the low areas.

Determine the pool circumference by putting a stake in the ground at the center of the location desired, and with a line equal

in length to the radius of the pool area (1/2 the pool size plus 12”), mark off the circumference with a sharp object, lawn edger,

white powder, or spray paint.

After all of the sod has been removed, you must make the pool area absolutely level as measured by a level or transit, not

simply by the naked eye. Find the lowest spot within the pool area and level the ground to that lowest spot. Do not add dirt to

the low areas as that will cause settling after the pool is filled with water. It is the high areas that must be dug away. The footing

(perimeter) of the pool must be a solid foundation to prevent the pool from settling into dirt that is loosened by rain and water

splashing over the side. Once again, clean the area of all sharp objects, including roots that later effect your swimming pool. For

leveling, we recommend that you use a long straight edge board and a carpenters level or transit.

STEP 2: TO PREPARE THE POOL SITE

LEVEL POOL AREA

(Pool Dia. + 12”)

*BE SURE TO AVOID:

-All electrical wires

-All gas lines

-Septic tanks

-Cesspools

-Dry wells

-Tree roots/stumps

-buried debris(trees,

building material, etc.)

-sudden slopes within 6’

of pool area

Sample

A. Use your pool parts breakdown sheet to separate all pool components, becoming familiar with each part.

B. Take the curved bottom rails and place them in a circle along the circumference of the pool area. IMPORTANT: Make sure you

are using the bottom rails and not the inner stabilizer bars. The bottom rails on some pool models are made of resin and

not metal. The stabilizer bars are always metal and they have a male end and a female end. The bottom rails are the

larger width rails that have the straight cuts on both ends. The bottom rails do not interlock (see diagram.)

STEP 3: BOTTOM RING ASSEMBLY

C. Assemble the rails by using the bottom plates or bottom cuffs to join them together. IMPORTANT: Some pools have resin

bottom plates or resin bottom cuffs rather than the traditional metal bottom plate. Please refer to your pool parts

breakdown sheet to confirm which component applies to your pool. Rails should be inserted into the bottom plates or

cuffs up to, but not exceeding, the stops on the plate or cuff. Rail can be squeezed between thumb and forefinger to

facilitate insertion into the plates or cuffs.

* Adjust rails in or out as necessary

to form a true circle.

Please note the different bottom tracks.

FOR POOLS WITH EVEN

NUMBER of BOTTOM

PLATES or CUFFS:

Measure from bottom

plate to opposite bottom

plate at every other

plate. When true, stake

into position.

FOR POOLS WITH ODD

NUMBER of BOTTOM

PLATES or CUFFS:

Measure from bottom

plate to center of opposite

bottom rail at every other

bottom plate. When true,

stake into position.

Check for levelness in all directions.

Position patio blocks like this,

leaving only an inch inside the pool.

Make sure pool

is level from

block to block.

STEP 3: BOTTOM RING ASSEMBLY continued

STEP 4: PATIO BLOCK INSTALLATION

Once the frame is in position, begin centering bottom plates or cuffs on 2”x8”x16” patio blocks. Sink patio block into ground

under bottom plate or cuff, making sure that the block is level in all directions (side to side as well as front to back). Repeat this

step around the frame making the tops of all blocks level with the ground. Do not install blocks or rails on loose sifted soil or sand.

There must be no space between the ground and the bottom of the rails. All patio blocks must be flush with the ground, solid and

level with each other in all directions. You may remove a bottom rail at this time to cart in sand or sifted soil for the cove (step 9) as

long as your pool ring remains staked in position. Make sure you replace the bottom rail in its proper position. A chalk outline of

the bottom plates or cuffs on the patio block is an easy and temporary way to ensure that your track does not move throughout the

remainder of the installation.

D. Check the roundness of your circle by measuring diameter across in several locations. Since the rails do not automatically form a

true circle, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Otherwise, you might end up with a slightly oval shape, which can cause problems later on.

Once you have formed a true circle, stake the bottom rails at every other rail with a screwdriver, being careful not to scratch the rails.

Measurements

must go through

center of the pool.

STEP 5: PRE-ASSEMBLY

In this step, you will use the wall carton as a base to unravel the pool wall. Locate the area that you wish to put the skimmer and return

so that you can start the wall behind the appropriate upright. Unravel the wall a little at a time, inserting into the bottom rails as you go. Do

not unravel the entire wall at once, for this makes installation much more difficult. As you unravel the wall you will need something to hold

it up. We recommend placing landscaping stakes around the outside of the pool and clipping the wall to the stakes as you go. If you

cannot get landscaping stakes the other option is to temporarily install stabilizer rails and uprights to keep the wall in place.

If the side wall seems too long or too short, make the bottom ring larger or smaller by equally sliding the bottom rails in or out of the

bottom plates. If the ground is uneven, the wall may jump out of the bottom track. Correct this condition by rechecking the level.

You may hide wall joint behind an

Check neon

Make sure

skimmer and

skimmer return

holes are

unobstructed by

uprights, and are

at the upper

portion of the wall.

This is a good time to start the pre-assembly of the uprights. It is easiest to line all uprights next to each other in a line. It

helps to lean them against a fence or some other sturdy object. On most models the top of the uprights can be identified by

either an extra hole in the middle, or by an extra hole on each side (depending on which pool you have) for the decorator caps.

Place the metal top plate on the upright making sure the holes line up and the hooked part of the plate is facing the open end of

the upright (the side that goes against the pool wall). Now put a #10 x ½” screw in the center hole only. Do not install screws in

the two side holes until later. This will make things easier and more efficient later down the line.

Now would be the time to install the fence post holders onto the uprights, if you have purchased a fence to go around your

pool (see separate instructions). If not, or when that is completed, you should line the uprights around the pool at every

bottom plate or bottom cuff for your convenience later on.

*This is one example of a top

plate. The plate for your pool

may look a little different.

Rails can be slid in or out

from the stops on the bottom

plates or cuffs to adjust for

wall length being a little off.

We manufacture two different kinds of wall joint assemblies. One has a single row of bolts and the other is a staggered

double row pattern. In each case, the aluminum wall bars are not pre-attached. Please check which design your pool has

and follow the appropriate instructions below.

STAGGERED BOLT WALL BAR SYSTEM

REMEMBER:

ALL NUTS SHOULD BE AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE USING HAND TOOLS. BARS MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER. EVERY HOLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE

WALL/WALL BAR SYSTEM MUST HAVE A SECURELY TIGHTENED NUT AND BOLT. IF THIS IS DONE INCORRECTLY YOUR POOL WILL BREAK!

IMPORTANT – This operation must be done carefully! When joining the

sidewall, make sure that the aluminum strips do not touch each other.

One bar must be inside the pool (the bolts will touch this bar) and one bar

must be outside the pool (the nuts will touch this bar). Insert the bolts with the

bolt head to the inside and the nuts to the outside of the pool. Do not tighten until

all bolts have been inserted. If your screwdriver slips and scratches the head of

the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot puncture the liner. It is

recommended that you cover the heads of the bolts, on the inside of the wall, with

three layers of duct tape. If the insertion of the wall in the bottom rail is tight at

the point where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make

enough room, again being sure not to scratch the wall or the bottom rail.

ALL NUTS SHOULD BE AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE USING HAND TOOLS. BARS MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER. EVERY HOLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE

WALL/WALL BAR SYSTEM MUST HAVE A SECURELY TIGHTENED NUT AND BOLT. IF THIS IS DONE INCORRECTLY YOUR POOL WILL BREAK!

• If you are missing any hardware, do not leave empty holes in the wall joint assembly. Doing so will cause your pool to break!

See your pool dealer for additional hardware in the case of a shortage.

*Every hole from top to bottom of wall/Wall bar system must have a securely tightened nut and bolt. *

*Wall bars must not

touch each other

*Wall bars must not

touch each other

If you have not done so already, install uprights onto the bottom plates or the bottom cuffs. See appropriate step

below for your pool.

*Wall joint is hidden behind the upright

on most pools. This assures that the

skimmer and the skimmer return holes

are not obstructed. It is not possible

to hide the wall bars on some of the

smaller size pools that we make, such

as the 12’ round, and the 8' round.

STEP 8: UPRIGHT INSTALLATION

Upright

Note: Skimmer and skimmer return hole locations.

Upright

Screw

Bottom

Plate

#10

Screw

• Models with bottom plates will require one, two, or three #10x ½” screws

for each upright, depending on which model pool you have.

• The top plates can remain unsecured for now, but they should be

temporarily clipped over the wall to prevent the uprights from falling backward.

• If your pool has an additional resin “boot” for the bottom of the upright,

secure them to the upright at this point using two more #10x ½” screws.

• Check pool for roundness again, making sure the diameter is the same in all directions.

TYPE #1 – BOTTOM PLATE POOLS:

TYPE #2 – BOTTOM CUFF POOLS:

• Models with resin bottom cuffs, instead of bottom plates, do not require hardware in order to secure the

upright at the bottom. Simply line up the holes in the lower portion of the upright with the corresponding clips

in the bottom cuff and push them down until they lock in place. When this is done properly the upright will not

be able to be pulled up without bringing the bottom cuff with it.

• The metal top plates can remain unsecured for the time being, but they should be temporarily clipped over the wall to

prevent the uprights from falling backward.

• Check pool for roundness again, making sure the diameter is the same in all directions.

Be sure that the holes

in the upright line up

with the clips in the

boot, and that snap

securely in place.

Be sure that the holes in the

upright line up with the clips

in the boot, and that snap

securely in place.

STEP 8: UPRIGHT INSTALLATION continued

Please note the difference of the accent clips for the resin

boot and the steel Upright. For proper fit be sure to use the

correct clips.

Some bottom cuffs and/or uprights have separate accent clips. This is a good time to snap those pieces on if your

pool has these. Below are some examples of accent clips. These may be in different locations depending on the

model of pool.

ACCENT CLIP INSTALLATION (Not applicable to all models of pools):

Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth, or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2” base over the entire pool area to protect the liner.

DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH ALKALINE OR ACID CONTENT, ESPECIALLY PEAT MOSS, AS IT WILL CORRODE

METAL PARTS!

Next, using the sifted earth or fine sand, build a pool cove 6” to 8” high inside the metal wall along the entire circumference.

This will prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner from any metal edges of the pool

framework. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL- IT MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals can cause discoloration or

corrosion, it is suggested that you place polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the wall, so no earth

comes in contact with the metal. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage is

not covered by the warranty.

After the cove and the base are in place, rake and tamp the entire pool area. Make sure that no sand is allowed to remain on

the wall above the cove. This could cause pinholes in your liner.
