A little background-diy building our 20x40 sport pool. Smooth sailing through everything. Laid vermiculite this week. Got 2 inches of rain a few days later prior to dropping the liner. Pumped the water out. Got another inch of rain after that. Mind you, the hole without this amount of sudden rain was 100% bone dry hard clay since we dug.
We were advised to drop the liner. We did that yesterday to beat yet another round of storms overnight. We are about 2 inches into the shallow end and the liner is floating. In ANY other circumstances, this would not be an issue, but with do much rain all at once-its what we are dealing with. We have drain tile laid around the perimeter of the pool (laid above concrete collar) with a drain point leading to the back of our lot (a nice downhill slope).
My question is: as the fill water gets deeper, the liner will start to pull in, correct (after the pool water gets higher than the drain tile)? Everything is fitting very well-no wrinkles and weights on all the corners, the breaks, and the hopper. Do we keep on task with filling hoping eventually that we will win the groundwater battle? We will have a large area around the pool with a concrete deck, so a lot of future rains will be diverted away. Any advice would be appreciated!!
