partial drain vinyl liner-temperature question

[pookiesunshine]

I will be doing a partial drain/refill on my vinyl-lined pool. i am aware of the need to leave at least 12 inches in the shallow end. I saw something in a recent post that peaked my curiosity on temperature requirements. Can i do this while water temp is around 60 or should i wait for higher? I could not find anything on this by searching. Any advice? Thanks.

ok, after original post, i found where i had seen a mention of temp; also just found this response to the post just prior to it about 80 degrees:

You're right about the temp for the liner. .......]

is 80 really necessary? i did not want to wait that long.

I haven't heard anything about temps and a vinyl liner (besides that other thread you are talking about). The only situation I think would be an issue is below or close to freezing. Hopefully one of our builders chimes in.

Depends - does liner cover the steps?

No, I didn't mean to imply it must be 80, but it needs to be warmer than what that poster was currently experiencing. Conyers isn't too far from me so I knew the temps we're experiencing.

no, fiberglass steps.
