Summer Waves Elite 18' x 52" (Liner Seperation)

[shizman]

Back Story: I've had this "newer" pool for a few years now... after having a terrible experience with the Coleman Power Steel Swim Vista pool (The first gen window pool from Walmart).

Anywho, my Summer Waves Elite pool has a seperation on the inside where the liner wraps around one of the horizontal beams at the top of the pool. This area is found between 2 vertical posts, it seems centralized. Somehow I did not find this issue until after there was already about a foot of water inside of the pool. I need to know if this is something that needs to be addressed right away, and if so... how?

Welcome to the forum!
Let's ask @zea @kimkats @Wobblerlorri
I suggest you read through Pool School - Trouble Free Pool and even look at a few of our videos TFP-TV - Trouble Free Pool

I see some GREAT, SUPER STRONG tape in your future. As soon as possible.

I like that you have some water in it as that will show you where to tape so the water weight will not pull on it like it would if it is empty and you fill it. I would go horizonal and vertical with the tape.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I have the same issue. My pool is Summer Waves Elite 24 foot. This is my second season using the pool. I noticed this week that the liner has separated on the inside where the liner folds over the rail. I'm really praying for a solution because I have put a lot of money in this pool with a new salt system I just had to replace last month. Any help is appreciated. Also, if anyone knows how these type of liners are seamed where the separation is would be wonderful.
