Hello all,
So I opened my to find my vinyl pool liner hanging in the corner of my pool. I tried to pull the hanging part of the liner toward the edge to see if I could maybe snap it back under the liner clamp and of course that liner wasn't moving anywhere. So I called the pool company that installed the liner about 9 years ago, and sent them some pictures of the liner. They informed me that the liner could not be repaired and I needed to buy a new liner for which they quoted $4200 which I don't have after just buying a robot and a salt generator .
I started thinking that maybe there was a way I could fix it and went to "You Tube" for some ideas, there a found a couple of videos that suggested that I use very hot water too make the liner pliable I could stretch it. Once I got home I looked at the liner closely and realized that the liner had ripped right at the point wear it clamps into the pool wall.
So the problem that I see is that the liner is now uneven, where it ripped off the clamp it is shorter than the rest of the liner that is clamped
So I guess the question is can I save my liner ? does anybody have any ideas/suggestions
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
