Hi. So we've set up our 15x48 Intex pool and were very diligent in leveling the ground. Once the pool was set up we went around with both a line level and an board with a regular level on top to confirm before filling and we were all set. Now that the pool is filled the water level is deeper on one side, about 2". When we go around with our board and level again, the pool top is still showing to be very level, but you can see the difference that clearly something is off. What could make the water level be off when it still appears to be level based on the top ring? Thanks!

Hiya Dsav99.... did you dig DOWN to level ground? That is important. The weight of the heavy water makes any imperfection in the leveling show up.

If the legs are level but the ground inside the legs is not, then the top will be level but the water will be deeper in 1 or more spots.
Thanks Yippee and Croket!
If the water level is off but the legs and top rim aren't does it make it just as unstable? I'm guessing so....we’ll prb have to drain and start again.

I don't think so, unless its way out whack and/or the walls are not plumb. if the walls are plumb and the top is level but the ground inside is uneven it should be ok, at least through the season. if the walls are leaning, then you have a problem.
