    Default Water under liner please help

    I have an inground pool. 3 feet and slants to 12 feet in deep end. When I took off winter cover my liner was floating. I put a pump behind liner and drained almost all of it. There is only a little more on the floor of deep end and I can't get it. Any advise what to use or can I just fill it and hope the water pushes it out?

    Welcome to the Forum!

    The water under the liner is either from a high water table in your area or spring thaws and rains which are having trouble draining through the soil. Adding more water to the pool will help push the ground water down and it should eventually recede on it's own. As the water leaves , you can use your pool brush to help keep wrinkles from forming - it's a slow process, but - if you're diligent, it should keep large wrinkles from forming.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
