removing wrinkles?

October 22nd, 2004 · 1 Comment

I had a 24′ above ground installed this year and when I ventured in
the other day, I noticed that the bottom isn’t perfectly smooth.
There’s a few wrinkles here and there that tend to collect debris. Is
there any way to fix this. Im wondering if maybe when everything
warms up this summer it might stretch out some. Any thoughts

    Unfortunately, you’ll probably have to live with it as water pressure
    will make it impossible to adjust the liner now.
    It’s unlikely to do any harm, more nuisance value, really.
    Liners do sometimes do this, severe water shock, like groups of
    people “bombing” in at the same time can cause this, as can the
    liner “creeping” down the wall - perhaps coming out of the liner
    lock, if you have one, high water pressure/water table behind the
    liner, and a liner made too big is more prone to this too.
    You can dump most (but preferably NOT all) of the water and then
    reset the liner, though it might happen again.
