Assuming this is a pool that is dismantaled each fall and reset each spring, I would use Natural Chemistry Cover cleaner. This product will clean the dirt as well as treat with a citrus smell. Hooks to your hose and sprays on. Mike
Magic Eraser. Look for it at Wal-mart. Household cleaning isle. Picture of Mr. Clean on the front. Be gentle, first time I used it took some color out of liner. Has worked good since.
I have a build up of salt on my pool liner in the deep end of my pool, how can I get this broke up to clean my pool.
You could try spraying straight bleach from a spray bottle, and then rinse with either reverse-osmosis or distilled water.
One pound of ascorbic acid per 10,000 gallons.
If it was working ok before you lined it and you have no problems removing the liner you should have no problems.
If you have water behind your vinyl in ground pool liner, you should first lower the water in the pool to normal levels if it is over-filled. Make sure that the vacuum pipe is clear, unclog it if it is not. Once it is unblocked let the water from behind the liner flow out.

To fix a detached vinyl liner from its spot on an above ground pool, the water will have to be drained from the pool. Then, a marine patch can be placed on the area to re-attach the vinyl to the place where it came apart. Allow this to dry thoroughly before refilling the pool.
To clean algae from a vinyl pool liner after it has become crystallized, use a solution of bleach and water with a scrub brush. One cup of bleach for every 5 gallons of water should be enough to clean the vinyl liner. Rinse well, then let dry before storing the pool.
If it is a vinyl liner pool you have to use a submersible pump. You can get a small one for right at $100.
Some types of bacteria and fungus found in the soil can actually penetrate through a vinyl liner and cause stains to appear on the liner. Usually they will start off as spotted or cloud-like formations on the liner. Algaecides used in the pool water have little if any effect on the stains caused from bacteria, since it doesn't get to the source of the bacteria in the soil. If a pool is known to have a problem with bacteria staining the liner, the ground underneath the liner may be treated with a solution of one half household chlorine bleach and one half water. Mix the bleach in the water and mist the floor of the pool with a small garden sprayer three or four times prior to dropping the new liner in the pool. After the last application of bleach solution, wait several hours before dropping the liner; making sure the solution has been absorbed into the ground.
How are you planning on making the pool water tight? If you want to use a Vinyl Liner, you should consult the dealer you are planning on ordering the liner from. A lot of Vinyl Liner manufactures will not make a liner for that pool.
I'm assuming that you have an inground vinyl lined pool. This is a chronic problem with inground vinyl lined pools, and is due to ground water being higher than the level of the water in your pool. The pressure of the ground water is greater than the pressure exerted by your pool water, and the liner floats. A half baked solution, is to wait until the ground is no longer saturated before removing water. The real solution is to provide a way for the ground water underneath your liner to be removed. This can be a passive system with a small pipe going under your liner and allowing the ground water to drain off (but this only works if you can keep all parts of that pipe below the level of the water in the pool-which depends completely on the pitch of the ground in your yard), or an active pumping system which pumps the ground water out to a drain.
Hydrostatic pressure or poor water chemistry. If the watertable is high the liner will float and when the water recedes will create a suction and pinch the liner. If your alkalinity and stabilizer levels are low the sanitizer will not have any molecules to attach to so it goes after the vinyl. The pulls the plastizer out the vinyl and causes it to prematurely fade and wrinkle.
