What do you do to get water out from under liner of a vinyl lined pool?

I just had this happen. I have an in-ground vinyl pool. About 10,000 gallons of water was under my liner this weekend. I took off the trim ring around the (normally summerged) pool light and slipped a small submursable pump with hose attached under the liner at the deep end. Plugged in the pump and let it run for a day - got almost all of it out.
I used a Rule brand pool cover pump, but any small submersible pump will work.

Once a gunite pool is converted to a vinyl liner pool can you convert it back to being a gunite pool I live in the Panhandle of Florida and have no problem with ground water?
If it was working ok before you lined it and you have no problems removing the liner you should have no problems.
Can you fill your vinyl lined pool if there is ground water under it?
Yes it wil just It should be alright the pressure of the water in the pool will push the ground water out. how much water underneath may influence the way the vinyl settles however.
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.
Water behind vinyl liner inground pool?
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.
Can you use the same water-treatment chemicals in vinyl-lined and cement-lined pools?
Vinyl lined pools require less chemical treatment to use since it is not a porous material unlike cement lined ones require more chemical treatment (more porous material). Cement lined ones form more algae than vinyl.

How can you fix a detached vinyl liner from its spot?
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.
What problems could you expect if you allow dogs in your pool with a vinyl liner?
I also am tempted to let my two labs and bichon in the water. Here are our reasons not to let our dogs in our above ground vinyl lined pool: Bichon would think it was okay to get in the pool when I wasn't watching...uh oh! Dirt from dirty dogs, Hair from hairy dogs, torn vinyl liner from dogs' nails. Skin problems and possible poisoning from pool chemicals. All of our dogs love the water. We have a "kiddie" pool for the dogs, and we try to take them to the creek to really swim as often as we can.
