We had our ground professionally leveled within 1" then did a self-install of the above ground 21' round pool, steel side, 11,000 gallons. We used masonry sand with a tamper during install. Pavers with a 2" height. All was level, but upon fill weighted down to about 1.75" difference at lowest vs highest point. Then it rained and the ground is soft, more settling, plus possibly some sand movement.
We have 17 pillars and all of them are within 1 inch except for the 1 low one which is almost 2" now. It's been full for about three days.
Questions:
- how long does it take for a pool to fully 'settle'?
- As-is, there's no leaning or bulging, so while i'm feeling 'okay' just wondering if it is pending doom
- i don't necessarily want to take this down, but yes, obviously safety will trump all. I honestly don't know what we'd do differently if we did take it down, though. I feel like we'd end in the same position.
Any/all perspective is helpful, diagram attached because why not.
