My pool is unleveled now..help!

I wouldn't worry about it. Can't imagine that it would pose any problems (although I don't have an AG) and visually it can't look that bad, right?

Don't worry about it, 1" is definitely within the acceptable range.
Most AG pools will get a little off with time, much has to do with frost heaving and settling.
A washout tends to remove sand etc from under a corner of your liner, the liner will sink and tear, it's a little different than frost heave/settling.

Mine (30' round) was about 1/2 off when I built it, now it's about 1", because one side continually keeps lifting from the frost - that side naturally retains more moisture in the dirt due to a hill falling down towards the pool.
I have added drainage around that side of the pool, and although it helps through most of the year, it doesn't once temps get around the freezing point as you can well imagine.

Ours settled about an inch on one side too. I'm not sure its that big a deal. I looked around the base to see if we had any heaves or bends but all looks fine. The liner is not over stretched or wrinkled so we will let it ride. Those would be the things to worry about but like they said above, should not be a problem.

I agree, not to worry. Get an early start to the summer and enjoy.

What is an acceptable level. My 28' is off about 1 1/2. After going through hell last summer I'm resigned to ride this out.

28 foot round pool, 1.5" is fine, on an 18 foot pool I'd be tempted to say it's a lot, but it's all relative to the width of the pool.
1.5 over 30 is the same as 1 over 20 - same angle the pool is sitting on, same slope, just keep an eye on it make sure it does not get worse.

We have an 18' AG and it's off about 1". Was level the first year we put it up and then over the winter something changed....this was 5 years ago and so far no problems. Although I have to admit it does stress me out. But if you know me everything stresses me out.
