I did and it is! I read some more posts after I submitted mine, and noticed other people with the same problem who solved it with raising the water level. So we are adding another inch and will see if that does it!

I have a 27’ above ground pool, sand filter, and single speed Hayward pump (pics attached). I got the pump as a hand-me-down from my aunt and uncle, so it’s likely old 😬 Last summer, the pump worked fine. It ran on a timer, would click on/off manually as well, maintained speed, always filled...

UPDATE: am driving 3 hours to get the last liner available in my part of the province for our size of pool. Got styrofoam coving too. Feeling a LOT better. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for this - I didn’t know that liners shrink permanently. Thought they would “re-expand” with heat and moisture. Might have to re-evaluate this whole thing…🤦‍♀️

I’m just about to hook up the pump to drain out the water. Will keep you posted if the wall goes back to form - here’s hoping! The skimmer has already been cut as it is the liner that came with the 2nd hand pool.

I get what you are saying. However, the appeal of a “free” pool was that the liner that came with it is the liner that would be used. Lol. The skimmer opening are lined up and bolted together and seem okay so far. There is no buckling or issues with the wall/liner where the skimmer is (so...

Hi! It’s a steel wall. Used the old liner that is original to the pool. We removed all the stone chips and dirt from the bottom of the pool where we have filled in. So far, the steel wall is still in the track. Definitely draining and putting in a cove. Off today to try and source styrofoam...

Thanks for the quick reply! We did enough of a sand cove to cover the bottom track and go up the wall, only about an inch. Plus a layer of 2” foam on entire sand surface. I’ve already begun to empty as all solutions will probably require this. Was going to leave the bottom 6 or so inches of...

Hello! We had been given a 27’ x 54” deep AGP from my cousin. Set up was tedious but went well but now I’m having panic attacks! I am attaching pictures of our wall. The first pic is how the wall looked without water (and even with the first 5-10” in). The next pics are all what I woke up to...
