Be prepared for your new above ground pool!

Though I'd share a few thoughts:

1. Check with your local municipality for zoning regulations, select a site in your backyard where the pool will be installed. An area that will recieve the most sunlight is ideal, also make sure the site can accomodate the size of your pool plus the zoning area requirements.

2. There are certain situations which you must be aware of. Your pool cannot be installed over or under electrical service lines and cannot be installed over a septic system. Also be cautious of installing your pool over underground water lines, sewer lines etc.

3. Your pool is not intended to be installed in the ground. Installing your pool in the ground MAY void your manufacturer's warranty. If you must backfill around your pool take your soil to a local greenhouse to have your soil's ph level tested.

4. Do not use any lawn or garden fertilizers near or around your pool. Many have chemicals that can deteriorate your pool wall.

5. Obtain a building permit and be sure to check municipalities for electrical and fencing requirements.

6.Purchase pool base sand or washed masonry sand that is absolutely stone free, the quality of the sand is very important because it lies directly below the pool liner. Poor sand may damage the pool liner and wouldn't be covered under the warranty.
