To level for an above ground pool simply take a full bucket of water and put a plastic tube in it that will reach every part of the area where you intend to put the pool. When the tube is full of water (NO AIR BUBBLES) You will find that the level at the end of the tube is always the same, so if you measure down from the water level in the tube at the lowest point of the slope where the pool is going to be you will know how much to dig out every where else.

To rig up a simple leveling system

  1. Fill a bucket up with water
  2. put the end of a clear plastic tube long enough to cover the job in the bucket and put something on it to stop it from floating to the surface of the water.
  3. suck the other end of the tube and get the water syphoning until there are no more air bubbles in the tube
  4. Lift the tube and you will note that the height water in the end of the tube will be the same as the level of the water in the bucket no mater where you take the tube so long as you don't allow any air rubles to form in the water.
  5. You can now use the water level at the end of the tube as a reference point for leveling any where within the length of the tube away from the bucket.

I suggest renting a sand pounder and put a large amount of sand, pound the heck out of it. Also, place a professional weed killer in the sand so that certain weeds will not grow up threw the liner.

We used a laser level to make sure the blocks are the same height all the way around and a regular level to insure the individual blocks are level.

Not much you can do. You are stuck with the situation. Poor prep job.

How does tap water get cold?

Tap water temperature as "cold" is its normal temperature, depending on what your water source is. Underground water usually from wells/reservoirs is about 55 degrees, where as some parts of the country water comes from above ground lakes/reservoirs, and there the temperature will vary. Its warmer in the summer and can get really really cold in the winter as the above ground water temperature drops.
