Best Answer

Take a shovel, proceed to fill with dirt

Firstly remove the hydrostatic valve in main drain if one has been installed.

Pool floor should also be permeated with holes.

When filling with dirt you need to use good clean fill that is then compacted and allowed to settle solid over a long time before building.

You also need to check with your local authority regarding regulations and further advice.

Believe it or not, some communities consider Swimming Pools as "in ground" storage tanks and must follow strict guidelines for filling them in. Check with your local city zoning people.
