[QUOTE="Eric, post: 930, member: 108"] If your not going to break out a 4' x 4' hole in the bottom then I would break out (6) 12” x 12” holes in the bottom area spaced evenly apart and some in the shallow end. You will need a breaker to do this job! If you already have a bobcat then not renting a breaker would be a foolish mistake. I think you can rent a breaker for about $150 per day. To use any other tool to punch holes in the floor and tear down the sides would only be more work and it will take longer. The top 12” edge of the pool is called the bond beam and is roughly 12” x 12” of concrete and has extra rebar running through it. The pool walls are usualy only 6” thick. Fill the pool with the cheapest material you can get a hold of in your area. It just has to be compactable and not have trash or green waste in it and no solid debris larger than 12” as stated in the specifications. Then I usualy finish the fill job with 18” to 24” of good to decent top soil. Below is a link to my photos of my recent pool demo job. I even added descriptions to help explain the steps. It should help you out alot. By the way there are 4 pages of pictures. Good luck!
