Edit - Just realized I posted this under the water chemistry section. Not sure how to relocate.
Just installed our pool with my father in law about 3 weeks ago and despite our best efforts, apparently we didn't get the ground completely level. One side is now about 2-3 inches lower than the other and its become quite noticeable over the past week. Is there any way to fix this without draining the whole thing and redoing our leveling? I think the problem is we left a very small amount of grass in place on one side and that grass has now died and is decomposing vs maybe it's just settling on the lower side and it's becoming worse.
The method of leveling went like this -
Dug up most of the circular area using a pick ax, removed grass
Stone dust added
Used a 10 feet 2x4 with rebar drilled into it, placed in the middle of the circle
a level was taped to that 2x4 and I moved it around the circle, making as level as possible
Then I used a plastic roller barrel filled with water to flatten the stone dust
re measured a few times
filled pool, noticed slightly uneven at that top
Used bricks under those legs that looked uneven
guess I should've stopped there and re leveled.
I hope this link to 2 pics of the pool works / is allowed
Thanks
