Helpful Hints | Bureau County Pool Builders

Fill your pool before you proceed with any backfilling or landscaping
Unless it’s windy, only fill your pool on 60-degree days or sunny days during initial fill-up below 18″
1 inch from the top of the skimmer faceplate is your full line
You have 72 hours to detect leaks in the liner, look for standing water outside the pool
Read your pump and filter instructions before you proceed
When tiling and backfilling your pool, be sure to slope fill to move water away from the pool
Proper water management around the structure is of the utmost importance to make sure that your pool does not experience “washout” or rust
You will eventually need gasket lube for your pump, filter and vision gaskets to prevent leaks
NEVER drain your pool below 2′
Use YouTube videos to learn about your pump and filter, chemicals, caring, tiling, winterizing, landscaping, decks, etc. for your pool
Use great care to prevent access to small children and animals
Your pool must be filled 3/4 full to prevent potential wind damage
You must fill your pool first, and supply proper drainage around the pool to ensure that heal impressions do not develop
