For a little history:
two years ago we bought a home and became first time IG pool owners. The existing liner was old, faded and creased In the shallow end so we got a new liner installed 19 months ago. We uncovered our pool last weekend and found a disaster! Our shallow end has large creases in it. We know our property has drainage issues and hope to get our yard leveled properly and my husband wants to install a sub pump all this summer.
We called the company the put in our liner and to have them reset the shallow end but the cost is huge. I made an appointment for them to come out in 2 days to fix it. We drained our pool down so that the shallow end is exposed and my husband tried to fix it since we don't have much to loose. Today is very chilly and drizzling. My husband loosened the one side and tried to start working the liner. He was able to get the big folds down, but there is a bunch of fine creases now. If he puts a shop vac behind the liner, the liner sucks fast to the floor, but if he turns it off the folds reappear.
We are hoping to work on it a warmer sunny day praying the liner will soften since today it feels so stiff. Any advice of technique on how to get our liner smooth again?
I wish I could figure out how to share the pictures!
THANKS!
