Figuring load potential for deck

I have a 16'x16' professionally installed deck. The grade slopes downward away from the house to the point where the deck floor is 6' above ground. It is supported by 9 evenly spaced 4x4 posts. I would like to add a 10' diameter (2' deep water) inflatable pool on top of the deck at the highest point of the deck in one corner. This would leave 4 posts supporting this weight. Do I need more support and if so, what's the simplist way to do this? Our swim seasons are only 3 months long. Thanks for your help.
