I'm trying to figure out how long I can keep using the AGP at my new house.. its not in the best condition, and while it needs a new liner,, I am not sure its a good idea to put money into this pool next year. I'm considering trying to go as long as possible with this one, to save up for a in-ground... or a partially in-ground agp.
Anyway, as for the current pool:
My liner is wrinkled to all heck, with the color bleached out of the bottom except where it had shade from the sun due to the ladder or dirt.
The bottom of my pool is filled with grooves and tiny pits, and is a foot deeper in the center of it, and has a wierd depression near the filter return/skimmer where there was a leak (there's a patch in the depression).
Next to the depression with the patch the two sidewall supports are raised up about 3 inches, creating a gap between the pool wall and the top edge of the pool. (Leak led to frost heaves is my guess...) These supports are likely rusted off the bottom ring thing, as one is like an inch+ away from the pool wall at the bottom
I've included pictures of most of these:
The one with of the pool bottom with the ladder has dirt at the bottom... each spot is a small 1/2 to 1.5 inch deep depression the dirt is collected in. The side and bottom originally had the same pattern but now the bottom is just white.
The picture with the bottom depression/liner patch and skimmer has the wierd leak-hole-depression and shows a bit of the liner wrinkles. The liner has vertical wrinkles every 1/4 to 1/2 inch of varying heights (1/4 to 3/4 inch usually) and a 1-2 inch horizontal wrinkle all the way around about 6inches to a foot off the bottom of the pool.
The picture with the water surface and skimmer shows where the two supports are lifted up. You can see out under the edge above the pool wall.
The last picture shows where they painted over some rust spots. I assume those aren't an issue, but just in case... (the rustier ones are harder to see under the ladder... sorry I can take more pictures tonight if you need)
