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 oth-
er)—do not install the pool on asphalt, tar or oil based
surfaces, gravel, peat moss, wood or chemically treat-
ed 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 2a & 2b)
• 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 jurisdic-
tion.

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.
