When I built my ungrounded liner pool, I found buried trash as I excavated. I pulled up the trash, concrete bags and other junk. I used a compactor to carefully tamp down the dirt, as I added it. Everything was fine for about four years. When summer came, I found an indention that was about...

Thank you for the response. Some manufacturers say yes to teflon tape. Others say no. It certainly didn't work with what I did... I believe it's a Hayward pool jet and I connected standard 1.5" threaded pvc. I tried Rectorseal but the pipe seemed to thread deeper the second time and still...

We had a pro come out. He was an absolute jerk but he got it installed. He taped EVERYTHING with duct tape. He pulled the liner down and taped the coping to the walls. He also had plywood to put over the steps, with coping at the top, to better seal the liner. He used two large pool specific...

Here are some more pictures. The short wall, with the Outside corner seems to be the problem. We tried installing it first on the second go and it still seemed to be a problem.

Yes, it was ordered with the kit. It was not made from actual measurements. Dimensions should be pretty close on the pool. Can you look at the picture and tell where we could be off on measurements? Should the vertical seam on the liner always be in the center of the steps? I installed the...
