OK, I'm asking for a friend about moving their pool. They have issues with spot it is in and want to move it over a ways. It is and Intex XTR large pool and per what I've read on here and videos I've seen from different pool installers, I told them I would be worried about how long the pool would sit empty, weather temperature, and the process messing with the liner. I know iIhave read different places as well as on here that people DO this, but you never hear how many had leaks afterwards. It is my opinion that the first time these pools are put up and filled, that the liner has something in it that maybe stretches it out and when it is drained to empty, if left sit in sun or warm weather too long, when they fill back up the liner will not stretch out again. I don't know if that makes any sence, but I always come here for advise and I told them I would check it out. It was my understanding that the heat will make them shrink back up some (it's something the liner is made of that makes it stetch out in the first place), then when refilled they wont stretch out again. Even if it took them most of the day to take down and relocate, would this be and advisable thing to do? Anyone know anything and have advise on this? They are wondering if it would be safer if they waited until the weather cooled down to do this, or if it would even be a good idea. I dont like the idea of refilling a completely empty pool of this type UNLESS you can do it immediately, like a drain and refill for water purposes. I feel like I'm rambling here, I know what I"m thinking, but can't seem to get it in the right words! lol Thanks for any help or ideas on this that I can pass along.
