I am installing a 8 x 14 foot endless pool partially submerged into the ground (about 28 inches). This is a 2012 or 2013 model that has the modular metal walls and is designed for any of the 3 options above ground, partially in ground or fully in ground.
We have a 10 x 16 foot hole excavated that is 30 inches deep. That part is done.
I have been told it is best to pour a concrete slab, which makes perfect sense, but a few installers are also suggesting building a cinder block vault with walls going up all 4 sides to protect the unit from dirt sitting against it.
If you have a fully submerged or partially submerged unit, what did you do, are you glad with the outcome, and do you wish you did something different? Any advice, help, input is welcome from anyone who has done this. In fact, let me know if you do this sort of stuff!
