Hello all - new member here and a new pool owner. We just bought the house 6 months ago and I've learned a ton already about pool care.

Two weeks ago we had a major flood in the area and the pool was full of mud and debris. After trying multiple things I decided to drain it for cleaning.

My incorrect assumption was that the wrinkles would go away once of the weight of the water returned. That was only partially true - we still have multiple areas with wrinkles now.

I checked the liner for any rips/leaks after draining and had to patch up one area. The wrinkles are not severe (no folding) but there are quite a few now.

After reading the forum it seems like I'm out of luck for now. I don't wait to drain the pool and refill again.

Any tips for smoothing things out? I've read about using a plunger or just working them out on a warm day. Just wanted to see if anyone had success with other methods.

Thanks for your time
