Jordan, Why is the bottom of the pool a different color? Was/is there a rust problem that has been fixed in the past?

There was some spots on another side so I thought about making the painting area the same all around the pool, but then I said forget about it lol

LOL I hear ya! So I am going to guess this is new.
I notice it is right above one of the bottom rail plates. I would think there should be a support there. Where is it? That is how my pool is done so...........

The support just wasn’t installed yet at the time of the photo. However it doesn’t fit into the bottom cap because it’s in too far thus causing the dent in the wall.

How much water is in the pool? Did you recently set it up? I'm not understanding why the upright is missing. It should not have water in it without the uprights in place. Is there a cover on the pool?

Re: Dent to wall of above ground pool at bottom HELP?
The pool is full all uprights are in, the pool is completely out together and the pool is closed. I’m trying to figure out how to fix that dent ???

Re: Dent to wall of above ground pool at bottom HELP?
Has the pool been set up a while or did you recently put it together? Usually it only dents like that if there is some kind of ground heave on an existing installation, the bottom track is not lined up right on a new installation, or something is putting pressure on the top of the pool without enough water or support for the walls in place. Figuring out what caused the dent will help us figure out the best way to fix it.

It looks like the bottom track is out of round. Do you know what brand of pool it is?

You will need to drain the pool and dig down 1" for the block on the high side. If it is one block that is too high it may have been enough pressure to cause the wall to have a dent at that point. While the pool is disassembled measure across the edge of the bottom rails from opposite sides of the pool and make sure it is 18' from outside rail edge to opposite outside rail edge at each block. You may want to re-inforce the wall at the site of the crease with some sheet metal.

I’m not draining this pool. I’ll try other routes to fix this issue but not draining it.

Unfortunately there is no safe or solid advice to address your issue while there is still water in the pool. There are many tons, literally not figuratively, of water weight behind the bottom edge of a pool wall. I'm not sure why you removed the upright from the pool while it was full of water but that is really not a prudent move. The base plate for that upright looks like is has shifted and the ground under it settled. That is likely the root cause of the bent metal.
If you are unwilling to drain the pool your best and safest option is to leave the dent alone and make sure the upright is secured in place. Keep an eye on the area make sure it doesn't get worse.

Thats a high spot. Its bowed because its not level. If you want to fix it, take the pool down, shave the offending area down to level and reinstall. It may not be what you want to hear but thats the only way to fix it.
