What type of backfill material is used around the pool?

This is an important question because certain manufactures require certain material be used, if these materials are not used it will void your warranty on your pool walls. H2o plus uses only clean rock as backfill material around your entire pool. This severs two separate but very important parts of your installation. One by backfilling with clean rock you eliminate settling under your pool decks and two, clean rock does not add any more excessive weight bearing on your pool walls. Dirt backfill has a tendency to settle as much as 6 inches over time and also when dirt gets wet the side load is greatly increased. If h2o plus is unable to use the excavated material around your yard it will be hauled away, this is an additional cost to the homeowner but it is included in your original bid.

    We debated gravel versus sand to backfill. Our yard is clay. Our pool contractor thought sand would be better than gravel. So he backfilled with sand. Do you agree?
