Step 15 - Backfill
15.1 Ensure all electrical bonding required in your area is
completed before backfilling the pool. Add any concrete
foundation forms or perforated drainpipes if they will be
used.
IMPORTANT:
Before backfilling, the pool water level
MUST
exceed the height of the surrounding backfill
required. Failure to do so will put excessive inward
pressure on the pool panels which may cause irreversible
damage and void the warranty.
Crushed stone or gravel aggregate, 3/8” to 3/4” in
diameter is the recommended backfill material which may
be placed directly against the pool wall. Do not use
expansive soils such as clay since this type of soil will
place additional stress on the pool and not allow for proper
drainage away from the surrounding area.
Only compact the backfill material manually by hand. Do
not use heavy machinery, especially around the skimmer
and plumbing fittings.
