Vinyl liner problem

[bjerich0213]

Hi all, second post in 24 hours! This time noticed our liner is coming off/out of the coping in a few spots. We just opened our pool last week, so not sure how long this has been around. We haven’t swam in it yet, and are currently exchanging water to lower the CYA. I don’t believe the water has gotten high enough to get behind the liner, but am unsure what our next steps should be in trying to correct this, and how urgent it is? First photo is the worst spot, second is a close up of that spot, and third is another spot. Have been cleaning the pool with an aquaproducts robot, it has cleaned the pool floor maybe 3-4 times so far, and the walls/waterline maybe once or twice.
Thanks in advance!

Start from the area that are already locked into the coping.


Roll up with your thumbs and lock the bead back into the coping. A little hot water may help...I have several area I need to roll back in every year.

Got it, thank you! I will give this a try. Have you ever tried liner lock stripping?

I have several areas where the liner installers use liner locking, or pennies, or nickels. I am of the belief that liner lock stripping stretches the coping, and have avoided it, I just push it back into the coping every couple months. Other think nothing of using it. @Newdude YMMV.

The liner hacks that did pool 2 chose to hit the loose liner track with a hammer every 12 inches to pinch it. From the inside of the pool it looks like a roller coaster.

And it still popped out between pinch points. Liner lock the whole way around helped hide some of the wavy track, but its still noticable.
