On January 31, 2005 Kafko will make the following changes in the way we manufacture and package our liners. These changes are designed to improve the fit and finish of our liners as well as bring consistency to all our manufacturing locations.

• The reference point for determining "hand" (or direction) will become the shallow end. All 2004 order forms and digging specifications will need to be replaced with 2005 forms that indicate the correct direction. You may be asked to confirm verbal liner orders with a drawing that shows your intended direction. The label shown below will be included with each liner.
• The default close-off wall seam location will change from center deep end to the left side of the pool about 2' off the left deep end corner. You may still specify the wall seam location so that it falls in the step.
• The wall of the liner will be attached on top of the floor of the liner. This will insure that any excess seam material will face down and not become an edge to collect dirt.
• The liners will be folded so that the shallow end will be on top. The unfolding diagram will show that the liner should be placed on the deep end deck and unfolded towards the shallow end. Labels will be placed on the liner to designate the deep end and shallow end as well as any corners. By first locating these labels, you may choose to hang the liner from either end of the pool.
• We will begin using labels on the floor of the liner to designate the shallow end break. These labels will be placed on both sides of the liner directly on the break-over. By chance of design, there could be a seam on the break-over, but use the labels to assure location.



Please contact your Kafko representative with any questions or comments about these changes.
