AGP Oval Install Level, 1 inch off, use sand to fix?

[Falzy]

I'm doing a one man install. I've got my area within a 1.5 inches of level. The pool will be 24 inches below ground at the highest, 34 at the lowest. I haven't leveled/installed any paver's yet, but I'm not far. I'm in central texas and hit caliche clay where it's at...hard as **** right now.

I'm not sure why this post went ****, I said "a rock" not bad language at all..

1. Can I use sand to finish leveling this bad boy off since it's below ground
2. Should I wait to get everything together then do that (if ya'll answer yes to question one).

I'll say this. Mine is buried 2 feet. Low and behold like the day after it was installed, filled, and back filled, a nice rain washed out a spot you can stick your foot into about an inch deep. I'll fix that if I ever need to replace the liner.

Sand is terrible at filling in and leveling. You need a solid base, whether it's clay or crusher. At least with the crush, you can add and compact it and it won't wash out like sand.

I have to worry about washout with it being two feet deep and backfield with dirt?

I didn't, and I got one (divot) so you tell me! Takes a long time for that dirt to settle and pack in. I added more at least twice that summer.

Like Casey said if you do fill in anyting use crusher. It packs like cement. At least here in PA its easy to get.

Our pool was incorrectly installed on sand...yes even though it was buried, the sand shifted. It is better to take the time for a solid foundation than taking the easy way. It won't be easy to fix later.

Thanks for the response. Crusher it is...
