We did just that. I bought a small above ground pool for the kids last summer (15' diameter) and our yard wasn't level. Digging in the red clay proved impossible so we decided that instead of trying to lower the high end we'd raise the low end with sand. We bought mortar sand, not play sand, and spread it in the area that needed to be raised. Once you add water to the sand it stays in place very well. So well, in fact, that even after the pool was taken down the sand still stayed in place for months. The pool held up the entire summer but the cost of the sand was about as much as I spent on the pool (about $200).

Is low sand in pool filter bad?
It depends on what you mean by low. You need to check your filter's manual, and see what level it SHOULD be. Lower than that, usually means you are losing sand into the pool (you'll know!) or when you backwash (because the pump is too big for the filter.) If you are losing sand, you need to correct the cause and then add more sand, after you've resolved the problem.
How do you fix low stabilizer in your pool and low pH low alkalinity?
make sure chlorine is is at 1-3ppm, if pH is very low raise chlorine slightly higer than average. shock the pool after and run filter for over night. If pool still not stabilize then add PH high chemical.
How do I raise pool acidity level?
If the pool is too acidic, pH is low, add soda ash (sodium carbonate). If it is too alkaline, pH is high, add muriatic acid.
How much sand is needed for 15 X 42 pool?
You will want to lay the sand out at 17' x 44' x 3". Give yourself an extra 1ft of wiggle room minimal per side. That puts us just under 7 cu yards of sand. Call it 9.5 tonnes of sand or 7.5 yards. Use any extra to fill in low spots.

You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.

How do you raise the alkline level of your pool water?
