    What's the best way to level a above ground pool?
    I just got a 10 x 30 Intex pool and after we filled it up, it ended up being about 1 3/4 inch lower on the other end.

    I read reviews that some people say you must dig up where the pool lays and level it out.

    I also read that some people stated that since its not too un-level that I would be safe getting some sand and making the lower end higher.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Afraid you missed the boat on this. You level first and then fill with water. Once you are where you are there is no safe way to raise or lower either side of the pool base. If you want it level you need to start over from scratch right down to relay the bottom ring.
