I have a oval power still 20 x 12 spent days leveling the ground and then put tarp carpet pad, and then a pond liner under the pool. After a couple of days the ground is settled and with water splashing out, couple of the legs have sunk into the ground. It was about 3 inches unlevel from one end to the other. It is now partially drained and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I’d like to not wait days to completely draining the pool, as kids and I are ready to swim in hot New Mexico.
Need help leveling filled pool!

There is no easy way around it. Drain the pool and get the footings on blocks in undisturbed ground.

A lot of people are buying these pools up like toilet paper. They are skipping a crucial step and now you're seeing why. These leg post need to be treated like a hard sided above ground pool and sit on pavers.
Pool drained overnight, down to just a couple of inches of water.
Do I need to dig out the dirt to make the pavers level with the ground? So they do not touch the pool wall?
