Refer to the swimming pool dig spec drawing for your specific pool size for the total excavated
depth of the deep-end. Your dig specs (also called panel layout) were sent and approved during
your ordering process and should have also been emailed to you along with this guide. The dig
spec shows the depth measured from the top of the pool wall. If you are using bullnose
coping, you'll need to add an additional 2½" of excavated depth from the top of the coping or
finished elevation. The finished measurement shown on the dig spec is the measurement from
the pool floor to the liner track or top of the pool wall.
Check the hopper/deep end of your pool to make sure it is squared
as you proceed from the hopper toward the shallow end. To square
the hopper, measure the diagonals/slopes. If the diagonals are
equal, the layout is square.
A trench for plumbing tubes from the pool to the planned filter
location can be dug at this time. The excavator should dig the
plumbing trench at a depth of at least eighteen inches (18"). It
should reach from the pool over dig to the equipment pad. This will
save digging by hand later!
