Welcome to the forum!
You need to drain the pool and get it level. Lots of threads on how to do that in this forum.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry and consider reviewing the entire Pool School eBook.

But can i use like it is now , if i don t fill it anymore? It s half and a little more filled , or can i put some wood pieces unde 2 of the legs to balance it a little bit?
I dont really want to drain it becouse the water bill will be expensive is i keep filling 16.800 liter pools
I have an aboveground pool filled a little bit more than half , but i saw that it is unleveled so i put some bricks under some of the legs , now it at about 1.3 inches unlevel is it safe?
If you are within 1 to 1 1/2 inches off level, it will be fine. However, it's extremely important that you READ the directions that came with the pool. The directions clearly state that the legs MUST be placed on pavers or wood which have been sunken into the ground where ever necessary. I honestly don't think bricks will be ok, as kids tend to kick off the side of the pool and if they kick one leg too hard, it will come right off the brick. They aren't wide enough. What you need to do, is either dig down your high side(PREFERED METHOD), OR lay mason sand on your low side to bring that side up feathering it into your high side, then get some nice wide pavers or pressure treated wood for UNDER the legs. I have had good luck with 12x12 pavers, but others have found that they crack and prefer treated wood.
