I have the pool discibed above and the u shaped legs have sunk, has anyone had or tryed to fix this problem without emptying the pool it's a Colman ultra steel frame

how far and how many? close up photos can be very helpful. are the legs on pavers or lumber?

They were on packed ground but we had a really bad storm with lots of rain and they sunk about 2 1/2 to 3" and there are 4 bad ones

No pavers or pressure wood? Empty and do it right!

Intex specifies a 15x15" pressure treated wood base to spread the weight on each leg pair.
In the post where the gentleman from Sweden hung his pool from his deck, it was calculated that the each leg was supporting 500 lbs. I did a back of the napkin calculation and go 320 lbs for each pair of legs.
That's a lot of weight. And it's concentrated in a very small area.
You might be able to get something under the legs and use a fulcrum to pick up the legs (but you might bend the legs in the process).
I agree you should drain the pool, add the base support to each leg pair so this won't be a problem the next time you get a huge storm.

I'm surprised the Coleman instructions didn't specify something similar to what Intex specifies.

You may not have to completely drain the pool, -- maybe 2/3's or so.

And don't forget you want this base to be fairly close to flush with the ground.

Ok this is the bad news that I figured I would have to do and Colman does not specify this which is very lame in my opinion it just says firmly packed level ground!! And thank you for the advise very much appreciated
