I had previously had some rust on the upper t part of the bar at the top of the pool, i've managed to get around most of that through repeated rustoleam year after year (on year 9 now believe it or not).. i'm trying to get 2-3 more years out of this if i can (cause otherwise i have to tear it down and replace it entirely i guess, or go from 18 to 24 foot ideally which means modifying the deck).

I noticed that 2 of the bars where they go in the ground have rusted out that half the material is gone, though if i give it a good shake i think its still stable. The deck adds support to the one side, these two are on the open back side.

I'm wondering if i could or even should, try pounding in some sort of (metal?) stake just in front of these two supports and maybe somehow tying them together, though my concern is disturbing the base area where the rusted part is, i think it may work?

Also thought, at least for the one support at ground level that has lost material, maybe there is some sort of spray that would harden i could fill that area with?
For the spots on the upper part of the bar (vertical) that have some serious rust and erosion, thinking maybe some sort of clamp with ties could be put around that area to add strength? ("hole clamps or bigger ones with something in between that can loop around it ")

***
I did see one other post of someone that actually used wood (vertical) and a wood clamp at the top (replaced whole pole all the way around, but i dont want to get into that), i guess a similar thing could be done for one or two but the wood vertical post would have to be in the ground a good 2 or 3 feet maybe and some cement, that would add obvious support "behind" the existing vertical bar, i think. I may try this but avoid digging and somehow put a brace around the base of both the wood and existing metal pole so the cement can harden into a "Boot"


Anyone ever salvaged a few supports like this by adding something else? I think its fine for this season, but beyond that, i dont know how critical one or two supports would be and dont want to find out
Ill add photos later

EDIT: here are some photos
with these i've already put more rustoleum around the affected areas, here in the ground the back side is rusted out and broke away, just in front of that rock.

This is typical rust at one or two joints like this, its also up on the tbars on a few spots, but i've kept up with those and the joints more so, its in the ground on the others i have no idea the status except the two i can see like the one above. The other one in the ground you can see rust (not shown here) but nothing material wise broke away.

I am installing a 15x30 AGP. This is the 3rd pool I have installed myself. Our first was a 15x30 oval, the pool this is replacing was a 27' round. We got the pool used last summer - we knew that we were taking the 27' pool down in the fall. The seller did not know the brand and did not have the instructions. I found the instructions for my first pool and used those dimensions to lay out the blocks for the legs. I ran into two problems yesterday. The first is with the outside end of the legs aligned with the edge of the block the dimension across the pool is 12" too short. I rechecked all my string lines and they are accurate to the instructions I have, so the problem is the legs are a slightly different design. I think the bottom edge is longer on the outside of the leg. The other problem is the legs are too far apart. The metal plates that go between the legs I can see where they were mounted to the legs. Unlike the previous pool I had they attach so the legs land in the middle of each plate and the plates overlap and are screwed together between the legs. My previous pool the ends of the plates landed on each leg. This pool where I spaced the legs they don't line up with the marks on the plates. The legs are too far apart so the bottom wall track pieces that go between the legs are too short based on the leg spacing right now.

I will need to reset the blocks. I can get the dimensions measuring the plates but would prefer the instructions if possible. Is there any way to identify the maker of the pool? The top rail is metal not plastic.

Good morning! Refilled pool about 80-90% due to high CYA. It was filled again by this Saturday morning. I Added about 3 pounds CYA this weekend to get it back up as nothing showed on CYA test (as expected) after the refill. I have been adding a quart or so of acid each day since according to pool math to start working down the PH. So far PH is just fluctuating between 8.3 and 8.4. I have been adding liquid chlorine as recommended each day as well. Anything else I can do to assist in lowering my PH? Am I being impatient lol? My test readings are attached here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
