Hello i am new here and need some help. I have got new pool Bestway power steel 488x122 and i set it up. Now before setting up i tried to level up the ground as best as I could. Its almost full with water but now some of the legs are pushed out. Pool is off level 7 milimeters, that is diference in water depth. Should I be worried? Here are some photos of worst legs. Also some photos of the pool. It looks like bottom of the pool is pushing legs out. Strap that holds legs is tight. Please help and sorry for bad english.

Welcome to TFP! 
as long as the water level isn't more than about one inch (25 millimeters), you should be okay. I don't think the pools are too far out of plumb, but keep an eye on them to be safe.

Thank you for your time and effort. Would be good idea to use ratchet strap at the bottom of the legs to extra support the pools strap? I am just wondering if pool strap is made for this kind of stress because this is not normal. Anyway diference between lower and higher side is 7 milimeters.Welcome to TFP!

I couldn't say if it would help or hurt at this point, but you certainly try - carefully. With all that weight you wouldn't want a leg to slip inwards or outwards on you.
Just to know what would be too much out of plumb? One two inch?Welcome to TFP!

Vertical support post plumb? Eeek. I can't say for sure. I know the water level shouldn't be more than one inch out of level.
I used ratchet strap at bottom of the legs and thight little bit just to secure it. Only two legs are in perfect level rest 14 are kicked out, 3 that i send pictures are worst rest are few milimeters diference. It should be okay. You can hardly see diference in water level from lowest to highest point of the pool.
