Hello,
On the weekend I discovered 2 holes in my liner. 1 in the shallow end that was the size of a quarter and 1 in the deep in that was about 1cm slit. Both are patched and seem to be holding.
Now, how do I get the water out from behind the liner. The pool compnay that I use to open and close only said it is a simple process that I can do myself. I pull the liner and use my pool pump and hose to suck out the water.
Have not tried as of yet, but when I hook everything up to the skimmer and put the hose down behind the liner will the hose just not dump the water out and cause a massive air pocket before it can start sucking at the bottom of the pool?
Can someone explain the process or would it be easier to get a small self prime pump and use garden hose to pull the water and another to put it back into the pool or is using the pool pump very easy?
thanks,
