    Slight Depression Spotted Near Upright

    is there a leak at the seam or in the indented area? any sign of leaking (lower than expected water level) or water/mud on the ground outside of that area? I am presuming this is a new indentation and not a brand new install, right? could it be rodents or something burrowing?

    Has anyone had any luck with selling an Intex pool?

    4 years is getting up there for an Intex, but the equipment and steel for spare parts might be sell-able. Liner is probably a wash and that isn't really a replaceable item, cheaper to get a whole new pool. agree, spring might be a better time to unload it.

    Semi-Inground Pool Built Incorrectly... Figuring out next steps

    I think your liner is new enough it will probably be alright, but if it seems to not fit going back up you may need to replace. I think I have read people store them in a big tub of water when this sort of thing happens. definitely do not leave it out in the sun!

    Vacuum won't move

    Intex used to sell a pump and 16 inch sand filter combo. I don't think they do any longer, though you can get them as replacement parts on their website (sometimes). there are probably lots of fairly inexpensive options, even the 14 inch is going to be better than the little cannister...
