Thank you for the video. Did it yesterday and it worked great. Saved us a lot of money, time and water. We did have to drain about half the water but better than draining the whole pool!

Good idea with the ratchet strap around the bottom of the legs. My pool has also settled, so I'm in the process of releveling now. Thanks.

I have a 8ton bottle jack. I highly suggest using pavers underneath the pool legs. I originally made .080 aluminum plates for under the stock feet. Prob is that the curve right off the aluminum and sunk into mud past the sand I had too. Since I had to lift the pool 2 inches up each leg. It was very scary not to damage the pool and not to have it blown out with 4500 gallons of water. Using the jack with a piece of 2 inch wood and a "u" type bar to push up the poles. Stay as close to the poles moving upward. Any angle can cause the jack to buckle and pop out. It happened once on the 15 poles. Once the poles are in the air, check for alignment and try to keep them vertical. A little tilt inwards is ok by the intex company for use. Just be very careful if your doing this. If you need to raise up 2 inches or more (hope not), I went in increments with a 1 inch block, reset the jack, repumped to 2 inches. Sad thing is Intex failed to give a proper diameter of the pool causing my sand/rock areas to be off. I did use 2 inches of sand with the suggested tarp over the sand for the pool liner to last. Poles location was on the edge of the sand and rock, not good...pavers saved the day for $25.

What size pool is this and what size strap is that? Did you connect two straps together? Awesome video thank you

This was very helpful. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for making this video I didnt know what I was going to do!

If I may add, Jeff, when you all use the pavers, make sure they are not touching the pool liner ! When people are swimming/playing, it'll cause friction against them and wear a hole in your liner, do be sure to leave clearance.

Are the 2x4 boards perpendicular to the bottom board or did you cut them at an angle to lean them in? Thank for your help, this post is a big help.
