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.

Do inground vinyl liners frequently float?
The liner should not float at all. The pressure or weight of the water is what holds it down. There has to be either a leak where water is getting under or behind it or maybe ground water is forcing it up. This is sometimesa problem in the southern states where the water table is closer to the ground surface.

How much does it cost to install a vinyl swimming pool versus fiberglass pool?
Well first of all there is no such thing as a fiberglass pool. You can have fiberglass walls instead of steel but your pool is still vinyl because you need a liner. These are the usual combinations of inground pools. Sand floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Sand floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, concrete walls, no liner Concrete pools have to be painted with epoxy paint or if you want tile installed then usually you plaster over the concrete. Now a days 3 and 4 are the most common inground installs. 1 and 2 are usually pools that are 30 + years old although you can still have them done that way. In South Alabama the cost of a 20 *40 vinyl pool will cost around 18 to 22 thousand

What is the best way to repair an in ground pool liner after water gets behind it from the pool overflowing from heavy rain causing creases and bubbling?
I havew an inground vinyl liner pool that got water behind it from a leak. The walls started to bulge from all the water behind it. I was afraid I would need to drain the pool to fix the problem. But I was told to just use a shop vac and suck it out. What I ended up using was a submersible sump pump, and a garden hose. I ran the water back into the pool, and it seemed to work. You will need to pop off some of the beading to get the draining equipment of choice behind it. It isn't too dificult, and much cheaper than hiring a pro. BUT BEWARE make sure the equipment is out beofre the vinyl is sucked back to the wall, other wise you will need to find a way to remove it a very tight liner against it. (sound like advice from experience?) good luck!
What causes wrinkles in a pool liner?
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.
