Grumpy AG Pool owner wants to share his misery.

[indoorairpro]

last year we noticed at the end of the season we were loosing water so we hired a guy to check for leaks, repair them and close the pool. After checking for leaks he said dont waste money closing pool because the liner is shot. Wait until next year and replace liner. Well a year later and a year broker replacing liner is not an option. Teh pool had about a foot of water in it for most of winter whcih was the mildest winter on record. I am now in the process of vacuuming out the rest of the water leaves etc. I was thinking with the pool empty it would be pretty easy to patch holes and maybe get another year our of it in hopes that my better half comes to her senses and lets me get rid of the dam thing. My question Do liners shrink. Someone told me that when I fill it that has now shrunk willjust tear apart under the weight of the water?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

When you drain the pool, the liner will float, and you're not gonna be able to re-use it. You'd be better to keep a few feet of water in the shallow end and see if you can find/repair the leak before you fill the pool all the way up.
