As a contractor, I can tell you for certain... if your pool isn't level, you won't be able to level it without ripping it out and replacing it, and you're owed money back from your contractor for a shabby job.

What size to build cement floor for 14' round pool above the ground?
I used a sand base for our 20' round above ground pool. It's much easier to deal with after the pool is gone. Greener too.
Can you fill an above ground pool less than full height?
It has to be filled above the skimmer ( flow to pump) or else the filter will not work. Also, if too low the liner may dry out above the water line and cause it to shrink.
Where can I get a pool deck plan?
If you are looking for a plan to build a pool into your deck check out deckplans.com. they will have updated plans to fit your needs. they have plans for your above ground pool too.
Can you drain an above ground completely or most of the way without the walls collapsing?
You should be able to if it was built properly. However be careful that there is no ground water around the pool or too many clouds on the horizon when you do as there is a danger of the pool floating out of position (even a concrete pool).
Do you need to drain above ground pool if too much rain?
No the only thing it will effect is the skimmer and they rarely work too well any way unless you have a floating skimmer. evaporation and splashing will soon take care of it anyway. Rain is free water use it. Draining the pool will also waste pool chemicals.
Will composite deck boards be too heavy to replace top rails that have rusted on above ground pool?
I am about to start the same project, it's worth a shot !
When closing an above ground pool Do you have to drain the water below the skimmer?
No, you do not need to drain your pool. In fact, it is way better to keep the pool full so as to save water replacement every spring and the fact that the pool cover will sit higher makes it last longer too. There is a product called an AQUADOR' that covers the skimmer opening much like a Tupperware lid that keeps the water in the pool. It is inexpensive, easy and earth friendly.
Can an above-ground outside wall be fixed if it has a very large buckle in it?
Its not worth the risk, the wall strength has been destroyed, I would not trust it, if you get too much activity in the pool, it is safe too say the side will bust out, and what and whoever is in the pool is coming out with the water.
How level does the ground have to be for an above ground pool We thought ours was level but now that the water is in it's almost 2 inches higher on one side of the pool. Do we need to start over?
You have to use a spirit level, a big one. But two inches isn't too bad.
Does insurance pay for above ground pools when they are damaged as a result of frost in the ground going too deep because of lack of snow thus shifting the pool walls and liner?
Typically your above ground pool is covered as 'personal property' under your homeowners policy. Personal property is limited to coverage for a specifically listed number of 'perils' in your policy. I dont believe you will find a listed peril that this loss description would fall under. I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AN ABOVE THE GROUND POOL WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY FROST OR MOVEMENT OF THE WATER OR ICE. THE ONLY TWO WAYS THAT AN ABOVE THE GROUND POOL WOULD BE COVERED BY A HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE POLICY ARE AS FOLLOW: 1. A RIDER WAS PURCHASED JUST FOR THE POOL AT AN ADDITIONAL COST, PRIOR TO THE LOSS. 2. DAMAGE DUE TO VANDALISM.
Would to much water cause a above ground pool to explode?
Improper maintanence is my guess. The amount of pressure in a pool is great. Just as a water balloon bursts when there is too much pressure so can a pool. Water is heavy. It weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. Since water seeks its own level it is trying to spread out when confined to a pool. If there is a weak spot in the pool, the pressure will take advantage of it and cause a rupture. Lots of pressure.
Can an in ground pool that's not level be fixed?
No, it's too late
