Drained vinyl liner pool

[oguzal]

Hi I drained a vinyl liner pool for the most part for 20 hours or so
Now I understood my mistake and refilling it
Do I need to have the liner to be vacuumed before refilling it

By pulling a vacuum and you see no wrinkles or you do see, they are easy to now remove. IF you take the chance and fill with water and get wrinkles you might not be so luck to remove them.

Thanks, what kind of vacuum is it? where do i plug it?

Update :
Talked to pool guy, he said he can reset it or better replace it
That will cost me 4K anyway, should I take the risk of refilling it ? What can I lose more

Update 2:

I refilled the pool a bit yesterday and all the big bubbles are gone

There are some wrinkles at the floor, do I still need to reset the liner ?

I noticed my pool starting leaking 3 inch a day. Could it be because i drained it ?

Well, if something fell on it or if it tore slightly due to stretching when you refilled it, that's quite possible.

I watched some of the videos how people find spots and patches them and tried to find the leaks all around using snorkel/ food coloring syringe but no luck. Its really difficult to see that small pins
The water is dropping 2 inch a day even after the level is below the jets so I suspect that its the main drain, could it be possible draining damaged the main drain ?
Any tips ?

Hi. 2 inch por day is a lot of water. I make the same to find leaks before I make a pressure test. In the most case the problem is the pool lamp. If you cannot find, close all poolvalves and wait until the water stops. If you think the floor drain is the problem, try to put a plug in. Its 1,5 inch or 2 inch.

And do you mean if i think its the floor
to put a plug in the main drain?
How will it help to turn of the valves?

When i look at the pictures from the time i drained i see that there is water under the vinyl of the shallow side, that makes me believe that leak is on the shallow side, from the layout can you guess which areas to check first?
