move the bottom of the liner

[Chewbubba]

So I put about an inch of water in the pool to work out the wrinkles, and I noticed that even though the legs were straight, the bottom of the pool was not centered. If I continue filling, it will drag the frame to where center is - which will end moving the legs off my piers. It's too heavy to grab the bottom and move it now that it has an inch of water.
Help!!

why not siphon the water back out?

I tried siphoning, but the water level is so low, it won't siphon out.

Have a wet/dry shop vac? Utility sump pump? Need something to get that water drained more. Otherwise get a flexible bucket (old ice cream pail) and start bailing.

When I put in my pool this time, I made a slight divot in the sand on the center of the area. I then centered the pool bottom on it, worked like a charm. I had the problem every spring of the pool not quite being in the exact same spot when I set it up, and it was a pain. (I take mine down for the winter)

I used a flat sided garbage can to scoop out water. A steel mixing bowl also worked fine but wasn't as efficient
