How Do I Get Out Wrinkles In Aboveground 24' Expandable Liner
by Bakeracres
I bit off more than I could chew. Water temp. is @80. Water level @ 4" on walls . Center of pool tapers down to @ 66". Wrinkle starts at wall base level and circles center. Local dealers are booked all Summer. Any help appreciated. Thanks for the question First, I would direct your attention to this post about pool liner wrinkles: Swimming Pool Liner Wrinkles and Black Algae Problems This post has alot of good information and troubleshooting. You can obviously disregard the Black Algae part. The post above talks about using a toilet plunger around the seams and wrinkles. You can also use a rubber broom or squeegee along the wrinkles to smooth them out. If your liner is fairly new, and the pool is empty, you can place a blower (or use a Shop Vac with the exhaust) between the liner and outer area to lift the liner. Then use the suction. While the liner is deflating, you can use your feet or rubber broom to gently pull and tug to get the wrinkles out. This is if you have a few wrinkles or those that might be easy to remove. I know a "few" and "easy" are very subjective words. Unfortunately if there are more wrinkles in your liner than you can handle, the best bet is to wait for a liner professional that can help. Hopefully you can find one and salvage your Summer. Hope this helps and good luck with your pool. Robert |
