From northern Minnesota .. I need advice please! I have a 27’ round above ground pool (17,000 gallons) and the liner has come away from the pool on almost 1/4 of the pool. The pool was here when I moved in 17 yrs ago. Same liner . I’m going to try the hot water thing but don’t really have much faith that it’s going to stretch that much. The last year I did open it , it was peeling back slightly in a couple small areas and I just used some thick tape that works under water and it held for the summer. But now, the liner is waaay down. I really don’t think that I can replace the liner myself as it sounds like a huge job. Really don’t want to spend $6000 or more for a new pool. Any suggestions ? Btw, I live waay up in northern Minnesota and we do not have a pool place around here or anyone who does such.
On a side note.. I didn’t open the pool last year because it ended up being the incubator of many many many tadpoles that must have just continued to reproduce all summer!
Also I had purchased a new cover the fall of 2022 which didn’t even last the winter ( I’ll talk more about that later - do NOT buy that brand .. it’s HORRIBLE!). You would touch the cover that spring and it would rip. They sent me a new one ( I wanted a refund but they didn’t want to do that!) and so what I did last fall after relocating all of the frogs was put the new cover over the old . So… needless to say .. the new one ripped too, just not as bad. I removed the new cover this spring and was left with a ton of debris on the top of the old ripped cover. Tried our best to get it off without letting all of that into the pool but that didn’t happen . If you pulled on it , it ripped. So on top of my liner issue , the water is also very green . It’s so sad looking . It is like pea soup but I’ll deal with the issue after I figure out if there is a salvageable way to continue to use my current liner.
