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!

How can I fix pool liner from pulling away from return hole?

To fix a pool liner that is pulling away from the return hole, first, drain the pool to a level below the return fitting. Carefully reattach the liner by smoothing it out and ensuring it is properly seated around the return hole. You can use a pool liner adhesive or tape for added security, and then refill the pool, ensuring the liner is evenly distributed as the water rises. Finally, check for any leaks around the return fitting and adjust as necessary.

How do you fix a liner that has slipped down from under the edge?

Same thing happened to me. I took off the top rail and coping off and was able to stretch the liner back over the wall and replace the coping and top rail. I think it will slip again before the end of this pool year. I think I will lower the level of my pool next spring and try and stretch it back over the wall again.


What would be the best way to fix a 20 X 40 in-ground liner pool with concrete damage in the deep end?

To fix a 20 x 40 in-ground liner pool with concrete damage in the deep end, first drain the pool and remove any damaged concrete. Repair the concrete by filling cracks with a suitable concrete patching compound and resurfacing the area if needed to ensure a smooth finish. Once the repairs are complete, allow sufficient curing time before reinstalling the liner and refilling the pool. Consider applying a waterproof sealant to prevent future damage.


Can you fix a brand new J Bead chanel liner that has slipped off the pool wall without draining the pool if the liner is 18 x 30 x 54?

no, you need to drain the pool to get enough liner to pull over the top. You can try to glue a new piece to where it has pulled away but the weight of the water will most likely pull it apart and if not you will have a sag there sooner or later. When installing a new liner NEVER! trim the excess away without leaving 12 to 18 inches extra, water is heavy and the ground under the pool is sure to settle some. Some areas will stretch a lot and you will need to let it out and others will sag and you will need to take it up so plan for it. Most liners will have wrinkles in the bottom and that is where you will need to get your extra from, if not then a new liner may be necessary.
