      What material should I use for my pool base? And how much of it should I use?

      If you have ground water concerns, you'll want to use a mix of either vermiculite and Portland cement or you can use what the pros do and opt for Pre-Mix.

       There are 4 choices to use for the pool base.

      1. Sand
      2. Sand & Portland Cement
      3. Vermiculite & Portland Cement 
      4. Pre-Mix; also call Pool Krete® or Pool Crete

      We cover the details of each and when it is best to use them here in this blog.  <-- includes a chart for how much to use!

      You can find additional mixing instructions in our Inground Pool Installation guide here!
