New Intex pool and Ground Lesson

I just set up our Intex 15'x42" ag pool over the weekend. I went over the ground almost with a fine tooth comb but we got in for a dip today and there are 2 rocks about the size of a nickel under the liner :cry:

I would really hate to drain the pool as we are on a well and it took 3 days to fill....can a patch we applied to reinforce the liner right above the rocks? I think there is a patch that can be applied underwater, correct??

And for next year...what can be used as a pad under the pool to prevent this from happening?

I am really happy with the pool so far...if we can get one seasons use out of it I will be happy. This is my intro to pool care, so the Intex is my practice for taking care of an in ground in the next year or two :) I think the BBB method is great!

TIA! Charlene


Hello all.
I've had the same issue. Went over my ground with a fine tooth comb and thought I had all the rocks, stones, bamboo roots and even broken glass. Now that's scary.
I filled my pool only a foot and kept it that way for about three days. Figure I let the pool settle a bit. Then I noticed the rocks.
Emptied the pool and cleaned up what I could. However just as a piece of mind, I now have three oversized tarps underneath my INTEX 42 x 15 pool. I've had mine for 5 years. Recently upgraded to the ULTRA FRAME. Just to note, I do not use sand. Sand seems to shift a bit from my experience making my INTEX uneven.
