    Default Butress settling at pressure plate

    I have just installed a 15 x 30 pool. When I started filling with water one of the buttresses was leaning in about 1.5 inches. Is this ok?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for bumping this up. I actually removed the water and liner and placed a 4" concrete block under the buttress and pressure plate. The pool is filled and working great. This area settled because when I initially installed the buttress I removed a large rock and i didn't get it backfilled correctly.

    Thanks for following up. Good to know and a great reminder to build a pool on level, undisturbed soil. Congrats on getting it straightened out.
