A. DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF 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 and
well drained.
(Image 1)
• Choose a spot on dry, firm earth (stabilizer or
other)—do not install the pool on asphalt, tar or oil
based surfaces, gravel, peat moss, wood or chemically
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 necessary.
(Images 2 & 3)
• Ensure the earth is well compacted and a wall is
placed to prevent the earth from seeping out.

• If you need to install partly in the ground, you
must contact your dealer to see if this is an option
for you and that you meet law requirements in your
jurisdiction.

Important Note:
Ground preparation is one of the most important steps in
the installation process. A proper foundation will ensure
the rest of the pool assembly goes smoothly and that no
problems will occur when the pool is filled with water.
