New 24' AG Pool, Backfill ??

They had to dig down 14 inches on our high side. Like traceyb, we leveled the dirt around the pool with the undisturbed dirt. We partially filled with the dirt removed and then we finished it off with good soil for the flower beds.

I too would go with just the dirt. Pool walls are so well treated you should be looking at many years before rust is an issue. If the pool, over time, does rust below ground level there are so many easy fixes. If you want twenty plus years out of pool you should have no problem. Every time you change the liner do a close examination and deal with any proplems. By doing this you would be amazed at how long above ground pools can last.
