Intex 16x48 1 year old rusting

We took the pool apart last weekend and moved it. Upon taking it apart we realized just about every metal piece had some sort of rust. The legs were the worst with 3 completely rusted through. We sanded and hit everything we could with Rust-Oleum. The pool is now standing filled with water. The 2 worst legs have now buckled from the weight of the water and are now leaning out. The weather is still chilly here, so the pool has yet to be occupied. Any opinions on if this pool will make it through the summer?

Ditto. And when that leg collapses it's going to split your liner. I'd drain it ASAP and get the replacement parts ordered.
