SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION
WARNING: Leveling is extremely important.
Carefully select the location for your new pool. This is the most important decision you will have to make to ensure the safety and success of your
pool's construction. A poorly-chosen location could cause problems in the future that may cause injury, death or financial loss. Read carefully the
checklist below when selecting where to set up your pool.
Acceptable:
Flat, level, firm and dry ground with easy access to all sides of the pool
Exposed to direct sunlight
Access to electricity for running the filter pump and other pool accessories
Easy to access to a water source
Protection from wind
Position the pool near an adequate system to discharge the pool
Unacceptable:
Sloping, uneven ground
Sandy, rocky or soggy ground
Close to wooden construction (e.g. pergolas and decking)
Next to trees
Overhead wires and clotheslines
Drains, electric wires or gas pipelines underneath the site
Poor or little drainage
High flood risk locations
High wind conditions
NOTE: Remove the higher ground rather than filling the low laying ground. All grass and sod under entire pool area must be removed.
