Q: What should I consider before purchasing an above ground pool?
A: Before you purchase an above ground pool, you should: - Check your local codes and bylaws regarding pools in your area. - Locate the pool site. Make sure there is enough space for the buttress system (oval pools). - The site you choose should be as flat and firm as possible. - Depending on the slope of your backyard, earth-moving equipment may be required. - Be prepared to purchase Brick Sand, sifted Dirt or Play Sand. - When you purchase your filtration system, take a sample of your water with you. - Ask questions!
