Installing new liner

[Watermom]

I haven't see him around too much lately because I'm sure he is really busy right now with pool installations, but one of the support team members 'Waste' aka Ted may be able to offer some advice. I will send him an email and ask him to look at this thread, but, cannot guarantee that he will. It is worth a try, however.

Thanks! Send me a PM if necessary for any contact info.

Liner is completely out.. what a mess! (mostly my fault because it was swamp water haha)

One small hole in the hopper's poolcrete and a little stream of water from underneath is constantly flowing back in. It's been doing it for hours now. Once it gets to be a couple inches deep i sump pump it out again. Any ideas? I sure hope it stops soon! I have people lined up to help Sunday morning with the new one.

Pretty sure I have everything I need. New gaskets for the bottom return and skimmers. Salt. CYA. Bleach.

Sorry I'm late

Can you tell me your plan? (when you want to drop the liner, how you'll fill it...)

With the water still coming in through the floor, you have a "high water table" which will effect the way you go about dropping the new liner.

I hope that you aren't planning on dropping the liner tomorrow , there is info that I have to tell you before you drop this new liner.

I have to go to work at 0600 tomorrow, but 'ought' have Monday off to take the time to tell you a few things to be sure to do.

The more you tell me about your pool, the better I can advise you on how to properly drop the liner, so it can last you 15+ years. (shape of pool, type of corners and step and cutout locations)

I'll look in on this tomorrow and see how you answer. That way, I can ask a few more questions and be able to best give you a 'game plan' on Monday.

I was planning to drop it in the AM everything else is prepped and it looks like the leak is getting very slow now.

you can email me at liner@funkbum.com (yeah I set up a temp email address haha!)

Here's the drawing that came back with the new liner

Corners are 45's
Fiberglass stairs are at the 8' section on the top (not the 8' section on left)
5 returns in the liner, one in the stairs
1 main drain
2 skimmers
1 light
polymer walls
poolcrete bottom

everything is very clean
gaps are re-taped
i have new gaskets for skimmers and main drain
i got new front pieces for the returns (the old ones have cracks in them)

in my plumbing, I do have a line that is behind the liner to drain any water that gets behind it
it's located at the floor of the shallow end at the 5' section to the right of the 8' section by the stairs

Any tips you can give me would be great, I have to do it tomorrow I can't get any help during the week.

Thanks!

HI

I hope you got the liner in today!

Let me know how it's going, if there are issues, tell me BEFORE you start cutting the liner!!

I sincerely hope the drop was 'perfect' but, if it wasn't - we can make everything GOOD before you cut the liner
