Swimming Pool Unlevel

I set up a 24ft round Silverado by Patriot swimming pool, and after filling it up ALL the way, the pool water at one side touches the rail and the other side there is about four and a half inches of liner showing!

I was wondering if there is any way to fix the un-levelness without draining and tearing the pool down and ruining the liner? If not what else could I do ?



Hi Aaron. It is possible to level a pool without taking it completely apart. It does, however, need to be emptied.

To level a pool correctly the entire pool should come down and the ground re-leveled and then the pool reinstalled. The problem with doing this is you should then replace your liner. It is possible to install a used liner but not easy and not recommended. You are far better off starting with a new liner.

So if you want to just make your pool appear level, look much better and be a lot safer, while still using your existing liner, follow the instructions on the page listed below.

By draining the water down to just an inch or so you are not disturbing the liner and it will not shrink or shift out of place. This will allow you to work around the outer edge of the pool raising or lowering the bottom rails. This will level your pool walls while saving your existing liner.

The only difference you will notice by leveling this way is the water depth when you are inside the pool. One side will be deeper than the other. When it comes time for your first liner change, years down the road, you can finish the leveling if you want.
