    I must have made a mistake in my measurements.. It is indeed 75000 liters verified by pool store

    The issue with the cracks in the concrete is the coping has snapped off and there's a 1" gap between coping and concrete. I thought about putting concrete in the gap but I'm not sure of that's a wise idea.

    Ive also thought about taking out the whole piece of concrete and putting a new one in. I'm not sure on the difficulty level of this solution. (have a bad back)

    Pool store 'verified' volume is almost always high.

    Yeah I know the pool store information can be highly inaccurate but I've kinda verified the amount due to the rise of tc and decrease of ph when adding a specific amount of chlorine / muriatic acid.

    Thanks though!

    Hello here's all the pics of my problem

    Any advice would be nice

    Pool store told me I should fix it this year, and the cost is about 2600 for 4 corners or 4600 for all concrete pads including removal.
    This pool store has a rep of telling you a low price then jacking it up while doing the work.

    Could this be a DIY project,?

    Should I get it fixed ASAP?

    There's also a crack in the concrete in the pool as well in the corner in the water. It sticks out about 1".

    Hydro-jacking or slab-jacking looks like the opposite of what you need -- it looks like you're wanting some slab-UN-jacking.

    Unfortunately, that gear is available only from the stores where they sell Boy Scout snipe in ready-to-use cages, board stretchers, and unsaws. I've never been able to get an address or URL unfortunately, for their location.
