New Pool Installation

[marandy]

Thanks Waste!
We agree that 7 weeks is a long time. Landscaping was finished this week and water around pool pumped out. Everything was then backfilled with crushed stone with concrete poured next week.
My issue now is as follows: In the shallow end of the pool, where the walls of the pool meet the floor the liner is not fitting snug at a right angle. It is "bowed" out a little and feels squishy like it needs to be pushed back. Is this air/water behind the liner or is the liner just not installed properly? Should we be concerned?
Thanks so much

Andy, sounds like the trowlers may have 'cheated' a little too much (*dirty little secret* - we all trowel the bottoms a little lower than the specs call for to insure that there are no wrinkles in the liner, the liner can handle the ~ 1/8 - 1/4" stretch, however if you overdo it, the liner can't stretch into the corners). Another possibility is that the liner wasn't cut correctly at the factory. I'm not trying to say that you've gotten a 'bad' job done on your pool, it will probably never become an issue for you, but I would point it out to the installer, the liner is more vulnerable to tears when it is not backed up by something solid. Having done that, I'd just enjoy the pool - Ted
