Hey,
So I’m getting an 16 x 32 Polymer In-Ground pool installed in NJ. It will have a 3.5ft shallow end and a 5ft deep end.
So far they did they following:
- Excavated
- Built the kit
- Put the concrete mixture at the base of the pool (inside the pool)
- Connected the filter, heater, skimmers, all the piping, etc..
My question to you is:
Should they have poured a concrete collar at the base of the pool brackets along the outside of the pool for more support? They did not do that and everything is currently hooked up. With my depth of pool do they need to?
Also can they backfill with the dirt they excavated with or should they use gravel? Does it matter with my pool size and depth?
I have a lot of dirt left over and there’s actually a lot of roots and remnants of a sprinkler system.
Thanks for the insight!
