    Default winterize pool

    I am a first timer here. We have a 14' x 24' x 52" rectangle soft sided Chois pool. My question is when we installed the pool, it was level. After a terrible wet spring, one side of pool is about 6 inches out of level. I plan on draining the pool within the next few days and level area. We then are going to put the pool back on the spot BUT aren't going to fill it. Would I have any problems leaving the pool empty? I don't put water back in it if we don't have to. I didn't mention that we have a well. We don't want to take it apart and store it for we don't have the space. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I don't know but I wouldn't think that a soft-sided pool could withstand winds, etc, if it was empty. Hopefully someone else will chime in here and know for sure. Plus, the vinyl might get brittle if it is empty and exposed to air for a long period of time.
