I'm going to replace my vinyl liner this year and I'm trying to figure out when to drain it because obviously you have to to replace it but I need to measure for a new one and to get the best measurement It will have to be empty correct? I keep looking for answers and all it keeps saying is do not drain your pool because walls could cave in or whatever. And if I drain it to measure for a new one I'm sure it will take a few weeks for new liner to get here so what to do?
When to drain it

Welcome to the forum. :lol: If you know the pool manufacturer, you should be able to find the correct size by contacting them.
If you do not, or it is a custom size, I would measure it with water in it rather than leave it empty for more than a day or two. I believe you can do it just as accurately when it's full.....just less conveniently.

No I don't know who the manufacturer is I just bought the house last year but its an older pool. The only problem I have is the pool is really green from the winter so going to be hard to see the bottom to find measuring points and how am I supposed to measure the bottom by the main drain?
