    I think I have two pictures posted on shutterfly. If more would be helpful, please let me know. I'm so worried about this problem.

    I actually have 4 pictures now. The liner fits great on the steps (pix) so it seems to be okay in the main part of the pool. There is a closeup of the corner where the bench starts and everything seems to line up because I can see the white seam where the bench liner is attached to the main liner. But for whatever reason a portion of the wall of the liner in the bench part is wavy. What concerns me is that they already cut into the liner for the place for the water to come out. I don't know how they would shift the liner without messing up that.

    Thank you for the pics!


    You are wise beyond your pool ownership to recognize that the liner, having been cut, makes 'resetting it' neigh impossible

    However, it might be possible. I'm sure there are tricks I'm unaware of and your PB may be able to fix this. (if they can, let me know HOW they do it )


    I'll stick with you through this to help you get to a satisfactory result!

    Thank you! I'm not holding out much hope, either. Maybe they can "spread" the wrinkles to make them less noticeable? If they can't fix it, perhaps it's time to bargain for a freebie, like an automatic vacuum!

    E think there is a VERY GOOD CHANCE that they will be able to make the wrinkles 'invisible' to anyone not looking for them.

    You ought talk to the PB and see what he'll do to compensate you for this.


    We can talk more over the winter or next spring, after they perform the 'fix'.
