In ground pool liner pulled away from wall about 8 inches how to get it back?

Answer 1

If possible, lower the water level (this is not always an option for really big pools). Some people recommend using a hair dryer to warm of the section of liner around the lip that needs to be re-inserted. For obvious safety reasons (hair dryers and pools do not really go together), I have used a couple pots of boiling hot water poured over the area to soften up the liner, and then used brute strength to force the lip of the liner back into the groove. The lower the water level, the easier this is (because you're pulling against less weight). If the liner keeps popping out, you can wedge in a popsicle stick (or something of equivalent width) over the top of the re-inserted portion. Pool stores also sell liner "locks" that look a little more professional and are likely to wear better.

Try using very hot water on the liner.

How to get your liner back in the track?

You used to find alot of pennies holding a liner in the track, it worked. Your pool pro sells a product called liner lock, which is a small plastic insert to tighten up the problem, it usually works.

Answer 5

Either your liner is floating because of water is behind it, which will evaporate away as long as it is a minimal amount. If you do not have liner lock in the coping it will pull out from the wall by breaking the seal. Pull the liner back to the coping insertion to lock it back into the coping and install the liner lock ( T-shaped poly bead that slips into coping beadlock) Cheap Cure!! Or, unfortunatly, your liner is giving way and it is taking on water.

Answer 6

There are three different systems for above ground pool liners. There are beaded liners which click in to a top rail, there are overlap liners which overlap the frame then something clips over the wall and liner to hold it in place, and there are unibead liners which work on either system. Please check your original users manual that came with your pool. If you have lost it or moved into a house that already had the pool, you can find the information online. Definitely do your research before you buy, because you can find the information to buy the correct liner the first time.

Answer 7

You don't! Water must be emptied, liner reset in place and pool refilled
