pool bowing in when filling

That's normal. As water gets closer to the top the pool will go back to its normal shape.

I have filled and emptied my pool many times. The design is such, that when filling, the sides bow in until the pool is full.

If you mean the long poles are stuck in the actual plastic pool liner, we sort of had the same issue. We just worked it through with a long screw driver and it seemed to loosen as it went along. The liner is pretty durable but we didn't jab at it either so no rips or tears in the process. Good luck.

Nice, I did the same with my smaller pool. I have mine lined up and suspended in the water with plastic screen weighted down with bricks on the pool deck. They will sink to the bottom if you don't secure them somehow. Anyway, if you have enough circulation they work for me lined up. Hope this helps and welcome to the converted pool community!

I had the same problem. Make sure to use the string because that is what holds the plastic down. I had to look at the picture a couple of times. The four corners are held down by the string going below the pool itself.

This happens when it is over-filled. Be cautious when filling and only fill it to the indicated level, and it will return to normal. Happened to me too.

I've never experienced this problem with mine. I just make sure I don't exceed the "MAX FILL" line.

Try to adjust the amt. of water flowing into the pool. That seemed to work for us.

Hmmm...I've actually never experienced that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. But could it be the chemicals your using to clean the pool? Also, the ring should only be partly inflated...the sun will inflate the rest. Shrugging beats me. Let me know if you find out what is causing it. Maybe call the manufacturer and see if they've had other customers complain of this.Have a great day.Hanna

I have experienced the same problem. Make sure you have a high water level and a tight seal in the skimmer basket.Ed

I have had no problems. If people are complaining of it bowing out, that means it isn't level. I recommend putting it on a level surface or pour a small slab of concrete where you want it.

The corner pieces are meant to slide in and out of the sides they are connecting rather than snap in like the top rail pieces. If you find they do not slide relatively easily, it's likely the supports along the lengths are not quite level. Don't worry that they might come out altogether. While you CAN do that if you really tug on it, the normal movement of the water in the filled pool will not exert that kind of pressure on it.

I have never had this problem. I would follow Dave's advice since the directions do say you should keep the hose stretched out straight when not in use. We just run the hose along the side of the pool. We only curl up the hose when we are having guests and need to put it out of sight.

We used sand and bricks to lift the legs. No use - weight of the water shifted everything, so we gave up and filled it to the line as instructed on the side with the most water. Had the pool for 7 years, until the lining finally gave way. Ordering a new one for this summer.

We've had issues with water getting in, enough that it makes the sand unusable. This summer we're going to buy a little tarp to put over it to help hopefully.

We took a level and set it all around on the ground where the pool was going. Any low spot we just filled with dirt. It wasn't perfect and the pool filled up fine. It's an inch off now that it's filled up but doesn't seem to affect the pool

Not really sure. never had that problem. even before i bought a bow, it takes the slack out, keeps water from pooling and stops flapping. Are you sure you have the right channel?

mine seems to help because my above the ground pool is not very smooth on the bottom.
