Legacy Portable w/ Bowed Sides

[odddon]

Hmmmm, I'm not sure we're talking about the same type of pool, but what do I know? Instead of posting a picture, you can see our pool, if you so desire, at legacyportablepools dot com. (As far as I can tell, the site is safe.) It's the one on the top right corner noted as "traditional rectangle", or the bottom left as "The Legacy". Ours is the 13 x 25 rectangle.

I think I've found the cause, after some weed whacking this morning. Grass grows around the pool, and it had gotten pretty tall on the affected side. With the grass removed, I see the base of the supports have sunken into the dirt an inch or 2. I'm going to have to drain the sucker to fix this, but hope it makes it until the season ends without a backyard tsunami!

This Just In!!! Finally got a response from Legacy:

"You should be very concerned as yyour legs are sinking into the ground and not giving the side the support it needs, which could lead to collapse.
Empy the pool and shhore up and support the legs so that they are level with the bottom of the rest of the pool."

Now I have to decide - do it now, or take my chances and do it after the season. It has taken 5 years for it to get to this point, will it make it another 4 months or so? I've spent a fair amount of money and a lot of time trying to fix what I neglected over the off-season, and 10,500 gallons of new water isn't exactly cheap either. Oh bother.....

I, too, have a 13'x25' Legacy rectangular pool. One end of the pool has done the same thing. I have read that emptying an above ground pool will cause the sides to collapse. Is this true with the Legacy pools? Also, I have been searching for a replacement liner for my pool as I want to be prepared in the event something would happen to the current liner. My pool is about 13 or 14 years old. So far, I have had no luck in this endeavor! Does anyone know if a liner can be obtained?
