Hey everyone, I just purchased an Intex Ultra Frame 48" x 15' pool and filled it up about 3 quarters of the way, just under the top water output from the filter plug. We thought our ground was level enough, but boy were we wrong. There is a difference of about 5 inches from the low end to the deep end of the pool. Today, I jacked up the pool using a hydraulic lift and placed paver stones under the legs on the low end of the pool to raise it up. For two of the legs, I have three 1 inch paver stones stacked on top of eachother with the leg resting on top of it (basically jacking it up 3 inches). For the rest of the low side of the pool, I am using 1 or 2 paver stones per leg. Its seems to help out but I'm not sure how good this is for the pool. I got the idea to jack it up from: unlevel pool, 6 inches off, lets not drain it!!
I just want to note that only my wife and I will be using this pool and just for lounging. We also have a little puppy who may go swimming in it. No large wave making or horseplaying, etc. I don't think I'm going to fill it any higher than it is right now, maybe even remove some more of the water so its just above the two lower filter input plugs. We will only be using this pool for the next two months and will be taking it down in September. Next year we are going to actually level the area of our backyard where the pool will be so that we don't have this problem.
Do you think I can keep it this way just for these two months? I can see already that the sleeves where the metal arms fit in are more stressed in the areas where I lifted the legs then the areas where its resting on the ground.
