Pool Upright Sinking

Is there a way to jack up one spot on the pool so I can reset it on a concrete pad without having to drain a lot of water off of it?


Hi. If you are talking about a soft sided pool you could start draining the pool, and at some point, when you can raise the sinking portion, stop draining.

If you are talking about a vinyl lined steel wall pool you will probably have to drain it down to about six inches. When you raise the pool you will probably shift the coving. You will then have to pull the liner back and get in behind it to make sure the cove is in place the way it should be.

Be careful, however, not to take to much water out of the pool. Vinyl liners shrink and become brittle when empty so the more water you can leave in the pool the better.

This page explains a little more about how to level an above ground pool once it has water in it.
