and instructions to help you keep your pool clean and
in good shape, year after year. Be sure to read the
Safety Rules
, and make sure everyone
who uses your pool reads and understands them.
B. Determine a Location for your Pool
1. The Terrain
Pay special attention to choosing the right location for your pool:
• Choose a large area, as flat and level
as possible.
• Choose a spot on dry, firm earth
(stabilizer or other)—
do not
install
the pool on asphalt, tar paper, sand,
gravel, peat moss, wood or chemi-
cally treated soil.
• Check with your pool dealer to see if
Nut Grass grows in your area. This
type of grass may grow up through
your pool liner. Your dealer will be
able to advise how best to treat the
site.
• Sloped areas will need to be made
level by digging away high spots,
not
by filling low spots—be prepared to
hire earth-moving equipment if nec-
essary.

Important Note:
Ground preparation is
one of the most impor-
tant steps in the installa-
tion process. A
proper
foundation
will ensure
the rest of the pool as-
sembly goes smoothly
and that no problems
will occur when the
pool is filled with water.
