I finished install of a 12x24 XTR frame pool over the weekend. We were happy with the level, used 1/2" foam mats underneath and 1" thick 12x12 pavers under the feet. We did encounter a few issues regardless. Before we cover the feet (pool is at ground level on one side, now cut into slope so other end is about 18" below grade, which we plan on backfilling) I wanted to see if any of one of these minor issues can be alleviated without emptying the pool.
The hose fell out of the pool and dumped some water near one of the feet, and the paver sunk into what became mud. Hard to tell, maybe sunk 1". If you don't know to look for it, you can't really tell and the pool is not really otherwise affected (slight irregularity of the top beam at that location). But I'm wondering if anyone has been successful in jacking up feet to raise the level.
edit: more researching suggests you can not / SHOULD NOT jack it up. Since mine is just one foot and a minor issue, I'm going to backfill with dirt, slope away from pool with plastic sheeting to ensure sufficient runoff, and then cover in river rock or some other ground cover. I think that should minimize any additional sinking that might occur.
