Page 8: Ground Preparation
LEVELING AND LAYOUT GROUND PREPARATION Establish ground level (benchmark) of the pool. A sturdier pool will result when the pool rests on undisturbed earth. It is better to have to remove an inch or two by hand than to have to build up after the excavator had gone too deep. Any voids beneath the wall panels cause by large rock removal, etc., must be filled and properly compacted. - Page 9 Dig trenches 8” deep for all pool sizes. Level the bottom of the trench so that the top of the 8” concrete block is level with benchmark. NOTE: IF INSTALLING METRIC OVAL WITH HOPPER, PLEASE REFER TO SEPARATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRENCH LAYOUT.

- Page 25 INGROUND: LEVELING THE EXCAVATION Establish the Benchmark of the pool. The finished height of the pool includes the wall height, coping and the decking (pavers, wood deck etc.). The Benchmark will determine the depth of the excavation where the panels will rest. With the shape of the pool excavation marked out, its height relative to the ground must be determined.

- Page 30 CONCRETE COLLAR GUIDE Check with local building codes before installing your Radiant Metric Oval pool inground. Radiant Pools requires a minimum of 8” concrete collar around the entire pool if any point of the pool wall is 26” or greater in the ground (fig. 2). An example of a semi-inground pool requiring a concrete collar is shown below (fig.1).
- Page 31 BACKFILL AND DRAINAGE Before backfilling, check with electrician for pool bonding. Sonotubes may be installed at the time of collar pour to support the deck. Backfill may go directly against a Radiant pool wall. Crushed stone/gravel 3/8” - 3/4” in diameter is recommended.
