WARNING!
Leveling is extremely important: take as much time as necessary to ensure the pool site is
completely rm and leveled.
• WARNING: VERY IMPORTANT! SITE MUST BE LEVEL, STABLE, COMPACTED SOIL.
• CAUTION: You can not use sand or non-compacted soil to provide a level surface for this pool; it
will only wash out.
• WARNING: The pools contains thousand of gallons of water! Should the pool collapse due to
unleveled ground, it could cause signicant property damage and even result in injury or death.
• Use a carpenter’s level and straight edge 10-ft long, 2-in x 4-in board to ensure that the site is
completely level. (See Diagram 4)
• Remove the higher ground rather than lling the low laying ground (See Diagram 5).
• ATTENTION: Always remove rocks, stones, sticks, grass roots, and other debris from within the
marked pool area.
• Once the pool site is completely leveled, debris removed and ground smoothed, place a layer of
sifted dirt or masonry sand that completely covers the pool site (See Diagram 6).
• NOTE: If you are using a Gorilla Pad™ or heavy duty tarpaulin (both sold separately) you will not
need the sifted dirt or masonry sand in this step.
LEVELING THE AREA
If you are NOT using a Gorilla Pad™,
spread a light layer of ne brick layer’s
sand or sifted dirt over the foundation
area. Level this layer carefully.
