New IG Liner Seams question

[westbrook215]

Had Merlin liner installed this week. Shallow end floor to wall Sean is about 2-3” from the wall and appears to not be sucked into the corner, like a ramp effect. It has been 48 hours since install.

after liner was installed 11000 gallons was trucked in.
I have them coming back out for unrelated tasks but what is acceptable regarding the bottom floor corners?

Have you been in the pool to feel it? It might have stretched some and it is okay. So long as the liner is touching the wall, cove, and bottom it is all good. If there is a large area it is not touching I would be worried about someone stepping on it and causing to over stretched and rip.

What do you mean by cove? My pool is Grecian it has plastic step insert.

Okay the cove I am speaking of is either sand or foam that acts as a barrier from the wall to the bottom to keep the liner from having to do a 90 from the wall to bottom and it helps keep the liner from trying to push under the wall. Here is a link to what it can look like: Aqua Select 48" Peel and Stick Pool Cove for 16' x 24' Oval Above Ground Pools - 17 Count - Walmart.com

Does that help?

Ah ok. This pool didn’t have a cove. It was always a 90.

To the best of my knowledge, mine doesn’t either. She may have had a brain slip and thought it was an above ground, But then again, Kim being Kim......... I’d bet that she is right and both of our pools are wrong.

Pool was built in the 90s. Maybe it didn’t exist back then.
