| Recommendations for Minimizing Formation of "Pressure Cracks" |
| |
| 1. |
Do not unfold liners at temperatures below 70°F, in the plant or prior to |
| |
installation of the liner at the pool site. This is especially critical during |
| installation in the fall, when morning as well as daytime temperatures |
| can be well below 72°F. |
|
| 2. |
Do not store a boxed liner outside or in an unheated storage area prior to |
| |
installation at the pool site during the cooler spring or fall season. The liner |
| |
may not necessarily warm up sufficiently in a span of a few hours in the |
| |
morning due to the insulation provided by the outer layers of the liner. |
|
| 3. |
Minimize the length of time finished liners are stored in cartons. |
|
| 4. |
Ideal storage temperature is 70-72°F. |
|
| 5. |
Minimize or eliminate stacking of cartons to reduce pressure. |
|
| 6. |
Keep the number of folds in the liner to a minimum. |
|
| 7. |
Use larger cartons for large liners; cartons that resist collapsing under |
| |
pressure will afford more protection to the liner. |
