Step-by-Step Instructions The entire process should take no longer than 15-20 minutes. 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 to cure before using your newly installed Swim Tether.
