Got my 16 x 48 Intex pool up but was 5 inches high on one side so draining now. It is level except where 2 of the legs are on the edge of where I leveled. Wondering if I could just leave 2 inches of water in and lower the area under the legs?
You really should properly level the pool. Unfortunately that will require draining and moving the pool to access the ground underneath. High spot of 5" is well above the allowable limit. just digging out a level ring isn't the way to go since the liner will be all bunched up in that area and will be noticeable from inside the pool. The liners of an Intex pool do help support the whole thing and should be set up properly.

Yes as I said the whole area is leveled (I should say i dug out and leveled the ground), the leg just ended up outside of the leveled area the only high area was the legs that were outside of the leveled area so I drained down to 1 inch, and will be properly leveling underneath the 2 legs to match the rest of the leveled area.
