Thank you for choosing Go Aqua UK!
To ensure your on-site liner installation goes smoothly and avoids unnecessary delays or costs, please read and follow the preparation steps below carefully before our team arrives.
✅ Before We Arrive
1. Liner Lock or Chase Preparation
-
Ensure top-fix liner lock is fitted OR
-
A 20mm deep chase is cut beneath coping stones.
2. Pool Shell Readiness
-
Remove old liner (if not included in your quote).
-
Jet wash and chlorine wash the pool shell.
-
The pool must be dry and clean for our arrival.
-
Ensure the shell is free-draining:
-
Drill holes at 2m intervals around the perimeter base.
-
Add extra holes in the deep end (avoid pipework).
-
3. Fittings & Accessories
-
All pool fittings (inlets, skimmers, lights, etc.) must be installed.
-
Provide new gaskets and faceplates on-site for our team.
-
Remove and replace any defective fittings in advance.
-
Note: We are not responsible for fixing poor-quality fittings unless quoted separately.
4. Surface Preparation
-
Ensure all loose screed or render is removed.
-
Re-screed and re-render using:
-
A proper bonding agent.
-
A 4:1 sharp sand/cement mix, especially on slopes and edges.
-
-
Screed must be strong enough to allow 26mm expanding rivet fixings.
5. Pipework & Drainage
-
Pipework must be pressure-tested to SPATA standards before our arrival.
-
Adequate groundwater management is required:
-
We cannot be held responsible for groundwater pressure behind the liner.
-
If water buildup displaces the liner, repositioning may incur charges.
-
⚠️ Important Notes
-
Liner joins and seams will be visible due to the welding process.
-
Patterned liners may not align perfectly at all joins.
-
Liner detachment caused by groundwater is not covered.
-
Slow filling may cause creasing – arrange for rapid filling on completion.
-
Disposal of old liner is not included unless quoted separately.
