We bought the 18 x 52 Intex Ultra Frame. In the past week we have filled it and drained it twice due to the ground being unlevel.
We have spent three days this time trying to get the ground level. We borrowed a tri-pod leveling type device and half way through leveling yesterday it started raining. Despite covering the ground, one side of our area got wet and muddy. Today we brought in more dirt to help dry it up, then made sure everything was level. We allowed some room for the muddy side to sink and put the pool up. We packed the dirt in.
Even though we allowed room, the muddy side apparently sank more than we anticipated and we are now off by about 2 inches on that side. We have a couple of inches of water sitting in it right now until we decide what to do.
Is two inches too much to be off? If not, will it continue to sink or should it dry and quit sinking?
I don't know if climate makes a difference with this, but we live in Louisiana.
Any advice is much appreciated as we have worked so hard on this and are just getting disheartened and frustrated at this point. Thanks so much!
