I have the exact same issue. I didn't notice the corner was binding and now the pool is 3/4 full and I can't move it. Did

Hi all - new above ground Intex pool owner - installing this weekend and have a bit of a crisis - hoping someone can advise...this is 32x16 rectangle - had been filing the pool for 28 hours when noticed three of corners look fine but 4th corner looks like it is about to pop out - I shut water off bc I am afraid it will pop and pool will collapse...think this is the corner where the white plastic insert was broken but we put it in anyway...I got they to Intex finally but the customer service rep is not familiar with pools and could only register a claim. Pics show challenge.
Any thoughts/advice? I dread thought of draining pool and starting over...
Thank you!!!

I have the exact same issue. I didn't notice the corner was binding until the pool was 3/4 full. Did you drain it or did it fix itself when the pool was full?

Hi Lena,

Do you have any additional details about your problem you'd like to share? We'll try to get some fresh eyes on your thread with a bump...

Same issue - following. I wish I knew how long the corners were so I would know when to panic.

I’m having the same issue. My sides are bowed in really bad (which I know is normal), but one side is leaning more than the other and it looks like one of the elbows are starting to pop out. I am FREAKING out. First time pool owner and it’s just endless worry. I hope the corner doesn’t come out, cause then the pool will have to be drained.

What did you do? I’m having the same issue. One corner is bowed and looks like it will pop out .

I don’t really know what to do. It’s completely jammed, so at least it’s not moving. It’s because the long sides are SO bowed in! The pool is almost 3/4 full, so I’m hoping once the sides start to push out that the corner will slide back in. Or at least loosen enough for me to be able to push it back in.

On top of that, the sides bowing are terrifying! Like it’s painful to look at. Do you have that issue too?

Fill it all the way. Releases the pressure and the corners will move freely.
