    Cool Re: Is It Normal For New New Ig Vinyl Pool To Be Slightly Unlevel?

    hancop....Your PB's comment is the weirdest response I can imagine! Wouldn't you only need to slope the FLOOR? I guess that could apply if it were a preformed fiberglass pool, is yours that? Or does he think the water level itself would be sloping to the deep end? It reminds me of my lifeguard days... a story my kids and I laugh about to this day. I had a hose in one corner of the deep end to add some water and a mother came by and told her kids to swim only in the shallow end because "they're filling the deep end." Oh, my.....

    Tenax,
    My thinking exactly! I plan to go that route, if hubby doesn't crumble in to PB. I am thinking that I will ask for a new liner without border installed, or accept a credit for that amount. As far as I am concerned, PB can walk after he finishes up, if he will not concede to an equitable settlement for me. I refuse to pay 'professionals' full price for below grade work . My PB acts as though he has never made any mistakes . On the otherhand, if I had chosen a borderless liner, I would be happy. I wish the PB would have told me that my border might not turn out straight, because I would have made a different choice, not only in liner, but also in PB.

    Hancop, do you have a border? Sounds like your PB and mine are related .

    i'm no lawyer, but i do have a lot of experience in building new houses and it should be no different that a customer has the right to a holdback if work is not done satisfactorily. i'm very happy for you that you have money not paid yet. it can be an amazing motivator

    Tenax-yes i have a border and you can see the one inch drop between the deep end and the shallow end. Unfortunately, I have paid the pool builder already.

    TO:Waste, Thanks for responding to my IM this date. Was unable to IM back. Nonetheless, the PB has agreed to pull back the liner and clean the pool crete from the walls. He will have to drop the water level about 1 and 1/2 feet .
    To everyone: I wonder how many gallons of water will be lost? Pool is 40'6" x 20'6" grecian style. Anyone have any idea? I think I have about 800 sf of swim area, but I don't know to calculate the gallons.
    Thanks, Webfeet
