If this is the worst thing going on in this town its definitely a great place to raise a family.

the hell is this on the news for? nobody cares about some cheap ass above ground pool slightly leaning

"This pool is dangerous to be around... that's why we keep it filled and have floaters in it"

Should that pool buckle under pressure, it would rise the sea level over 50 feet, wiping out 1/5 of the world's population.

This is the news now. Wow.

Yep the kids would go about 5 feet untill they reach the fence. Thats super dangerous, better evacuate everything within 100 miles in that direction

If it breaks, she'll have a 25 second waterslide.

Y’all tried flex tape?

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this story.

I was expecting the pool to be improperly grounded or something, not a dent in the side. Lame

I like the fact that the inner sides have got fake stonework painted on them. Adds a real touch of class.

Guy: "I wouldn't swim in it. " Background: tube floating.

So why haven't they drained the Damm thing?

"she worries for the safety of her grandchildren". Then empty the pool fool

The day this was published, 21 civilians in Mosul were executed by the Islamic State. The day before, 2 car bombings in Fallujah killed 8 and injured 20. And in Florida, a middle-class woman wasn't happy with her new pool.

"Hopefully you can come see it when it looks good." Lady, it's an above-ground pool. It will NEVER look good.

Kim Fuller: "Scared of Pool"

Oh please people. My pool wall collapsed and it was a fun ride. The water will rush out and thats it..... omg. Get over it.

I’ve been in a pool that collapsed... it was fun..

1:55 the news is so funny, "Stand over there and start walking this way towards the pool for a good shot".

First world problems. 🙄

Must have been a slow news day.

How TF is this news?????

Looks like that pool is all *washed* up

You know whats not safe? Smoking!!

Drain it if you are worried about it. It will stay safe until they get back out there. Odds are it will need to be drained anyway.

In ‘87 we had an above ground pool installed in our yard. It was only 15’ across, yet it too, started leaning toward the back fence, which is adjacent to the paved parking lot owned by the church. Was likely due to the shifting of the ground and maybe improper ground preparations before it was installed The pool remained intact way past its warranty and we never did have a flood, nor did the pool tip over. Even though it was leaning so much to one side, you could visibly see where the wall was starting to buckle. Anyhow, the pool itself was professionally installed by Trévi, one of the biggest pool and spa companies in Quebec It was dismantled in 2011 or 2012 by my brother because no one was using it anymore and became too much to maintain on such a fixed budget

Above ground pools can be expensive (assuming the lady isn’t wealthy, like most of us aren’t); she has a reasonable expectation that her pool would be installed LEVEL.

When i was 12 our pool ( that was slightly elevated behind the house) collapsed and i legit floated through the kitchen and halfway down the hallway. As soon as my mom got off the phone with the insurance company i asked her, since half the house was already trashed, could we refill the pool and do it again? She thought i was joking

And the professional, "been doing this for decades" guy wanted to be on the news so he also thinks it's unsafe and will wipe out the whole neighborhood if it blows.

To all you 14 year olds in the comments that are jumping on the hate train because you're ignorant: This isn't a shitty little pool from Walmart. This pool is made of sheet metal. If it breaks, there's going to be a large metal hole with sharp edges that can really cut someone up. You don't drain these kinds of pools after they're filled. Once they're filled, the metal expands and emptying it would cause the metal to shrink back, and filling it up again could cause fatigue failure. This woman has every right to expect to have a correctly installed pool. There's nothing more to it than that. And don't act like you're a pool expert when you're not.

When installing an above ground pool it is absolutely required that the area the pool will set be level and properly filled with sand which will support the pool and water weight without sinking. The sand base should only be under the pool liner and not beyond that footprint or the outside wall supports will sink into the sand and create havoc.

The installer didn't say he wouldn't fix it, he said he'd come back in the winter (when the pool is normally drained), that thing is perfectly safe, would probably last a decade. Even in the event of failure while the grandkids were in the pool they'd be washed out onto the soft grass probably laughing their heads off with a story they'd have for the rest of their lives. Playing in the ankle deep surf on the beach is more dangerous.

I'm hearing people call this woman a rich snob...wtf does that have to do with paying for a shitty job. She paid whatever she paid for the pool installers to come out and do a bullshit install... I see no compacted sand base nor did they build the pool with all the necessary hardware. The woman customer is a complete victim and should sue those crooks that attempted to rip her off....

This saddens me that contractors take advantage of people thinking they will never find the mistake.

Remember back in 89, this same mistake, yes sir. Took out the whole neighborhood. My friends son was repairing a roof when the pool went, killed him in a matter of seconds. When ever I see a above ground pool I tell the owners it's a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Even the kidie pools are enough to destroy a small house.

In florida, should've gone with an inground, concrete pool, the only thing good about above ground pools is they are easier to take down when your sick of it

How does this make news, but when some kid got his thumb chopped off in the weight room at school doesn't make news

In 10 years that thing will still be sitting there full to the top of green water, and she will still be talking about how it was installed wrong🙄..

The pool: *slightly uneven* Her: omg i dont want anyone in the pool

If it's unsafe then drain the water and take the pool down easy as that

It's safe come on stop complaining

This is on the news?

Mine did the same thing, one side was leaning and off by a few inches We used it for months with no problems. Same with a family friends pool. In my opinion it’s really not a huge deal, depending on how much it’s leaning, but should be fixed if possible. If it breaks, well that’s quite the ride whoever’s in it is going to take!

I wanna ride the wave hell my pool is a tarp in the bed of my truck

Who cares if it breaks while you are in it a little waterfall ride never hurt anyone

Don't know why everybody is getting on the home owner. All she wants is her pool installed correctly because it was installed incorrectly. 5 inches out of level is no good. She paid someone to do a job, it should have been perfectly level.

The pool busting would be like the best ride ever, LOL!!

drain the water and fix it

If I pay someone, that is supposed to know what they are doing, and the repair or installation is wrong,; it has to be fixed. Not in the winter time, now MOtherF. I don't care if the ground dropped or not, the installer should have anticipated this. Repaired it now so that the person that PAID can use it NOW. Whether you think this woman is a snob or not, she PAID for a job and the job was not done correctly. That is the crux of this video. Too many a-holes doing a job they should not be doing.

Call Humpty trumpty so he can write an executive order telling the pool not to collapse!! Lol

No pool expert but when I grew up everyone in the neighborhood had above ground pools and I either assisted or installed more than mt fair share of them. For those you hating on this women that was a lousy install and thats putting it mildly. To be off by five inches is an embarrassment to the installer. If I owned the company I would do what is right and fix it. I work in machine reair and sometimes mistakes are made, just man up and resolve the issue. You cant just drain the water and leave it as the water is part of the support.

100 degrees...i am going for it man

This is the whitest story I’ve ever heard in my life

Shes worried its gonna collapse, its unsafe but that wacko stands 4 inches behind it. I'm 100% sure she got a great deal. You got what you paid for.

So here’s the question whose responsibility is it to grade the land to make it level for the pool to be installed and the answer is the guy who installed the pool should’ve told her it’s not level and then giving her the option to either have it leveled by one or her contractors or pay him additional money to have it leveled

He said it's Totally Wet

I would have given anything to see the look on her childrens face when she told them they can't swim in the pool till it's fixed. #Total bummer dude 🏄🏊

The wall is buckled and it isn't even level. Very unacceptable installation whether it's safe or not. How can anyone be forced to pay for the installation and told they have to wait to have it fixed. The installers should be sued and be put out of business if they think that pool is acceptable work. I used to install above ground pools and we went through a lot of work so the ground and each support post was perfectly level all the way around. the walls were even and liner was smooth and free of any wrinkles. There were times we redone our own work because WE weren't satisfied before giving the customer the bill.

Nobody gives a fuck if somebody’s pool is leaning.

Your yard isn't level.. you took the risk!

*totally wet*

That “Florida does not require a license for the assembly of above ground pools” tells you everything you need to know.

First of all that's a soil problem that's not contractors fault. And that's typical with above ground pools since the water when splashed out goes to the side of pool.

Get a real pool in the ground and your problems are solved.

She hired the cheapest company she could find - looks good on her.

If you’re gonna do a pool, do it right and put it in the ground...

I don't think it went swimmingly.

Ok I just looked and paused video and saw the tiny 3 inch line that is Buckled inward which is weird because usually it buckles outward. In any case that little shit is nothing to worry about.

You think that pool is leaning 😂😂 u should see ours lady

That lady must be a brain surgeon, she sounds as sharp as a brick. ABC news home of the big news stories

The so call professional pool guy need a measurement tape to see that the water level is low lmao

I'm worried about that families safety. This has troubled and disturbed me for quite some time. I'm very worried and think about it at least once a day for over a year now. God bless them

you should get arrested for above ground pools.

Is anyone else annoyed they didn't reveal the names of all the plumbers/companies, who correctly identified the problem and didn't try to pull a fast one on the customer. Integrity should be rewarded

Why is this news

What an ugly thing to put in your yard.

Me : that’s bad ! Pool drains : hey guys! Pools : SHUT UP

Wow a competing pool guy says his competition is dangerous really good investigative work

kim fuller *scared of pool*

It's made of sheet metal you could get a very nasty injury if on the way out of the pool you slice yourself wide open remembering its kids inside

Me to the installer: Fix the damn pool or I'll sue your ass for endangerment.

Next Video: _Pool_ _arrested_ _for_ _1st_ _degree_ _manslaughter_

Shouldn't have mentioned to the installer that you wanted a pool with a deep end and a shallow end!

Thousands of dollars?

How did I get here 🤔smh I was watching how Kylie Jenner don’t know who the baby daddy is!😂

Step 1 Drain the pool yourself. Step 2 "fix it". Step 3 Crisis avoided.

I’ve seen videos of people breaking pools on purpose to go for the ride lol

First world problems

Thanks for taking action for me! I didn’t know I was in danger.

Yep! Installer needs to come back and fix it! Poor quality of work

this is action news?

Don't do drugs. Please. Just don't, no matter what. Oh wait this is about a pool? Okay...

The real crime here is thinking an above ground pool is a good idea.

Local news is so great. Such mundane stuff, it's quite charming.

This isn't news.. all she had to do is nicely asked them to come back and fix it. Come on

Slow news day?

Instructions say no more than 1 inch difference. 5 is way off.

The fact that this News station aired this is absolutely disgusting! She is clearly using it and if she feared that much... it would have been emptied!

Rich snobs
