Yes, although it voids any factory warranty that came with it. I bought a 12x24 above grond pool, 4 feet deep. I used a backhoe to dig & a transit to level the hole. I buried it to 3 ft. Built a deck all around it & it's been in the ground 10 years now. No problems the only caution is when the pool is filled with water, be very careful when back filling the dirt around the walls. I did it with a Bobcat & almost caved in & destroyed the enitre job. Other than that, no problems
It is ok if you put an above ground pool on a bump.
Justin Bieber has a inground pool

The first thing you should keep in mind is the possibility of corrosion and the buidup of ground water around the outside of the pool.
mainly because they are rated on BTU size...
They will most likely work, they just have to have the same specifications.
In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.
To install the water return fitting above the ground pool, you have to switch off the source. After this you can then install the water.

It depends on what type of pool kit you are referring to. If you are looking for inground pools, no. If you are looking for above ground pools, yes. They have an above ground pool for $349.
Generally...no.

Yes, I know some friends with an inground swimming pool and they have had it for quit some time now. I am pretty sure that they last more than an above ground.
An in ground pool and an above ground pool have difference maintenance requirements. You should start by researching the time and effort it would take to maintain them. Then make your decision based on your research.
