Think of your above ground pool as a big dam. If the pool
is out of level or if the wall is worn or damaged, the
uneven pressure can cause the wall to break or tip and
allow thousands of gallons of rushing water to cause
extensive property damage and injury to anyone in its
path. The amount of effort and care you put into the preparation
of your pool foundation and maintenance of the pool wall
can make a big difference in the life of your pool and liner.
A solid, well-compacted, level earth foundation is the best
base for your pool. Take the time to do a good and thorough
job as explained in these instructions.
