Yes, definitely. I had to replace the pool liner due to a freeze-induced blowout (in an above-ground pool). When I replaced the liner I used the foam pool coving material, rather than just reshape the sand. The next year, we started having little leak after little leak. Finally, I drained the pool halfway down to try and patch some bigger areas, and when I pulled the liner away from the wall, the pool cove material was riddled with ant tracks around every area that was leaking. I don't know if it was termites from some nearby rotten firewood, or just ants making nests there, but they really trashed that liner.

Water behind vinyl liner inground pool?

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.
Will my vinyl above ground pool be damaged if I drain it but don't take it down and store it this winter?
With a Vinyl Liner you should not empty it OR take it down. It's very hard to get the liner back in place if you remove it. Vinyl shrinks as it ages so you also need the weight of the water to hold it in place. Movement of the liner could also cause older vinyl to crack. Think of an older cars dashboard! To winterize the pool you should lower the water just below the skimmer, plug the return line, drain the skimmer, pump, filter and plumbing and cover the pool with a winter cover.
How can you fix a detached vinyl liner from its spot?

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.

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.
