pavers broke while filling pool

[Anngellicas]

So we set the pool up with the pavers under each leg. Now 5 15" pavers have cracked. Had to stop filling the pool. Do I have to completely drain it and get the PT wood under the legs? Some parts of the ground is not completely level. My husband worked his butt off trying to get the ground level. Not sure what to do! Help

PT wood under the legs?

It's usually the thickness, not the material. Most of the time people use the 2 inch thick 'pavers' that are really stepping stones and only 1.7 or 1.5 inch actual thickness. 3+ inch pavers are actual 2.5+ inch and won't crack.

*edit, just saw your pics in the introduce yourself thread. You used the thin ones. Thats the problem.

Being level is its own can of worms but not why the stepping stones cracked.
