    Are you sure you don't have a leak? Even tho pool stores don't understand about the chemicals we use here, I would be surprised that one would lower your water that far.

    If it were me, I'd fill a few inches of water then stop and mark where it's at and see if it goes down. Because if you DO have a leak, it'll be easy for you to fix yourself as long as you can find it.

    Then if it's not a leak, someone with wrinkle experience can give you help.
    Why BBB? Because money can't buy happiness, but saving it sure can!

    Stop filling the pool, you need to drain it down to ~the wrinkles (you can leave ~1" of water over them and still be able to work them out). It will help to have a warm day as the liner will be more pliable. Then get a strong vacuume behind the liner and start refilling.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Hi waste
    thanks for the sweet words

    well, by the time I got that reply, it was way too late...
    guess I'm stuck with the wrinkles for now
    hopefully it won't damage the liner too much
    I can live with it anyway and it doesn't seem to bother the dolphin cleaner any

    I'm a bit POed at the pool store for this closing
    besides wrinkles, I also seem to have clogged pipes
    I can not get the pump to prime. I read in another thread to try to blow out the line, but I don't really have any eqipment to do that with... ( garden hose didn't work)
    I think the PS should come and fix it.




    sorry to hear about your s-i-l's dog

    hope your's is thriving with love ... give her a treat for me :-)
