Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Gather

What you'll need:

Installation plate (Pick one up here if you don't have one)
Hammer drill
1" masonry bit
Hydraulic cement or similar adhesive (Loctite Construction Adhesive or Quikrete Hydraulic Cement recommended)
Tape measure
Marking tape
Writing implement
Rag for cleanup

Step 2: Measure and Mark

Determine the best location for your install and mark. Ideally, the hole should be set back 6-8" from the edge of your pool.

Mark the drill bit with a piece of tape to indicate a drilling depth of 3".

Step 3: Drill and Clean

Start slowly with the drill perpendicular to the drilling surface and continue until the hole depth reaches your 3" mark. Clean out the hole of any dust and debris.

Step 4: Check Fit

Once the hole is clean, insert the plate to check for fit and any adjustments the hole may need prior to installing.

Step 5: Install

Apply a modest amount of hydraulic cement or outdoor project adhesive to both the hole and stem of the base plate.

Press firmly and evenly into the hole while wiping away any excess adhesive. Make sure the Swim Tether logo is aligned the way you want.

Wait 24 hours for the adhesive to cure before using your newly installed Swim Tether. Enjoy.
