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.

How do you remove wrinkles from the bottom of an in ground pool and why are they there if the pool is new?
The wrinkles are there to provide for liner shrinkage over the years.
Will wrinkles in a liner in the bottom of the pool affect how long it will last?
A few small wrinkles in a liner is very common. I install liners for a living, and it's pretty hard to get a liner in without a wrinkle or two. It's not going to effect how long the liner will last. If it is a big wrinkle (1" tall or more), you need to be careful that you don't tear it with the vacuum head.
How do you remove wrinkles from the bottom of an in-ground pool and why are they there if the pool is new?
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.
Filling pool how can you keep liner smooth?
put in about an inch of water, then pick up the wrinkles and pull them out from the inside.
How do you get rid of wrinkles in softub spas?
You replace the liner. Nothing will remove them. Improper PH causes this problem.
How do you prevent in-ground pool liner wrinkles and liners pulling out of the track every time the ground water rises?
If water is getting behind the liner, sorry to say you have a leak. This will also cause wrinkles. Check around main drain if you have one.
How can you keep the vacuum from sticking to the bottom of the pool and making wrinkles in the liner?
Sounds like you have too much suction in the skimmer. If you have 2 skimmers and have plugged one to vacuum, try taking it out. If you do not have 2 skimmers and have a main drain, try diverting some more of the suction to the main drain. I am not sure why you would be getting wrinkles unless your liner is loose or you have water behind the liner causing this. Hope this helps
How can I tell if I have received a genuine doughboy pool liner?
I have paid for a genuine doughboy pool liner, how can I tell if that is what I received or if I was given a cheaper one for the price of a doughboy? I am having so much trouble trying to get the wrinkles out of it. It seems they are almost manufactured right into it.
Can eye liner give you wrinkles?
No, not the eye liner itself. But having to pull your eye skin just to put it on, eventually will give you wrinkles
If an inground vinyl liner gaps from the wall at about the water line and wrinkles on the stairs is your pool contractor correct when he says it will tighten on its own?
