Aquasport 52 supplier and backfill

[Slh53]

Hello all, my first time posting. I am wanting to install an 17 x 32 aquasport 52 in my backyard in Iowa. I have two question I was hoping to get some input from the community on.
1). Does anyone know a reputable supplier for the aquasport 52 that was good to work with and that would ship the pool.
2. A large portion of this pool will be under ground with concrete pad poured around it. Does anyone have any back fill recommendations that I can pour concert over right away, and that won't put to much pressure on the wall when I have to change the liner years from now.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks all

Welcome to TFP

Very interesting, I have not seen that pool before and did not know you could bury it completely, nice...

You will want to use 57 stone to backfill once the pool is full of water.. That will allow you to pour concrete within a few days...

Do not use dirt backfill near the pool, only use gravel.. If Dirt backfill is used wait a year or 2 for it to settle...

Thanks for the quick reply. When you say "Do not use any backfill near the pool, only use gravel". I assume you mean don't use any dirt as backfill near the pool, use 57 stone instead. Is that correct?

That is correct, no dirt as backfill I promise it made sense when I was typing it..
