Hello. I'm having a problem with an aquasport 52 oval that I installed myself a couple weeks ago.
I had it set nearly perfect with my spinning laser but unfortunately I forgot to add the pressure plates and it lifted. I drained it and installed the plates and it lifted again anyway.
It hasn't moved any more after a couple weeks so I'm thinking it's where it wants to stay now.
The far ends are within 1/2" of each other but the straight runs are 3/4" higher than one side and 1-1/4" on the other side. The straight runs are exactly the same elevation to each other.
The pool is going to be semi inground and right now it hasn't been backfilled yet.
So should I drain it and check if it goes back and backfill as I fill the pool with water to try to keep it in place ?
I'm going to put a concrete cap on the coping so I can hide the discrepancy by shimming but I don't want to backfill and find I created a major problem later.
After doing some reading it sounds like these oval pools always have problems on installs but I can’t find a rule of thumb on how much fluctuation is to be expected or tolerable.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
