    I've replaced two or three of those plates in our pool. I didn't lower the water level and replacement was easy; no liner shift issues.

    I don't have enough experience with liner pools to know how likely liner shifting is; I just know that it can happen, and can be a real problem if it does.

    Jumpin in here. Is that a touch of algae around the face plate? If so, a toothbrush cleaning may be in order around your others.

    Thanks for all the input . The plug has pipe dope on it and it is old. I removed the plate and replaced it ,no problems. I installed new plugs using a Teflon type dope, no leaks with 5 lbs air pressure on the line.
