    Hello, just looking for more feedback. The wrinkles are long and all are in the shallow end and where there is a slope. The wrinkles are thin not flappy, but the still bother me. The more I read about this, leads me to believe that the low ph in my pool caused this. I use trichloro tabs in the auto chlorinator. I guess the ph tens to run lower. Can I drain the shallow end and try to fix it there. I tried to pull it with a toilet plunger but did not work. It seems like the liner is very tight even where the wrinkes are. Can someone give me a step by step way of fixing this or do I have to go into debt to hire a pro. I think it is cosmetic, ie no leaks but it really bothers me.

    What I did was to push down on the wrinkle while kicking the corner where the floor meets the wall with my heel at the same time. If it is too far away you could always use to people. And yes, I can pump out all the water with my pump.

    If you do not have a high water table problem, the low pH will definitely cause the problem that you have with your liner and there's not really any way to reverse it. The best way to deal with it is to try to move the wrinkles to the bottom of the wall (a toilet plunger works well for moving wrinkles around).
    To avoid the problem again, you need to guard against low pH especially when you combine it with a high chlorine level.
