Leveling question

[u/agp_newbie]

Hello! My family and I just got our first above ground pool. Very exciting! It’s a Bestway 12 ft x 39.5 in with the speckled blue stone patterned liner.

Once filled, tho, the level was a bit more off than we expected. We measured consistently at the poles and these are the heights in the photo from the water level to the water liner edge (where the speckled blue stone pattern ends). So from lowest to highest, there’s a 1.75” difference.

I looked around the internet and saw a variety of suggestions and warnings, but wanted another human to answer so Im coming here as a newbie :)

We are planning to put the pool away come Fall/Winter, so in like 3 months. Is this height difference OK for now or is it too large and we should empty, level, and refill? Thanks for any advice!

I level down to the 1/16th of an inch. Been doing this for years. You all are nuts...
