Mike, as Brad said, it's no big deal - liners, especially new ones, do that. Hope everything works out for you
Brad, your crew isn't installing them right if you have to 'liner lock' the entire pool. You can feel when the liner goes in right. There's a small difference between a bead that is in enough to look good and one that's properly seated, but it can be felt. I see the liner popping out of the side that whichever new guy put in. 'Locking' the whole thing seems a bit excessive, but 'locking' insures that the bead is all the way in, and less call-backs is a good and wholesome thing![]()

Waste, I'm not saying I need to install the liner lock on every pool to ensure that it won't pop out, but every once in a while this problem does happen. And since customers are not familiar with liners they can become concerned with this type of problem. I know that if I just spend the $20 per pool I won't have to deal with this specific problem. Call backs are bad in that they cost money to send my guys back, but also customers don't appreciate problems with their new pool, whether they are big or small. Any time I can spend a few bucks and make sure that a particular problem won't come up, I'm happy to do so. Sorry to hijack the thread everyone
