Liner pulling out of track

[shadowman]

Well, I didn't get back to it last weekend. September weather arrived in mid August this year and it doesn't look like it's leaving any time soon. The temps are not going to be out of the mid-70's for the next week. We had enough rain that I may have to pump some water to waste. I may have to seal up the two dropped spots in the liner with tape to keep the rain out for the winter. I am getting closer and closer to bulldozing this thing. Eight week pool seasons, if that, aren't worth it!

If I sound bitter, I think I am. Unfortunately, it was my idea to buy a house with a pool in western Oregon!

If your going to leave it that way over the winter get two small pieces of that LinerLock and put them in, on each side of the pull. This will keep it from getting any worse. And it probably will over the winter with the extremes in temperature change day after day.

As long as it doesn't get any worse, I've seen pulls that size last for years on older liners when the effort of the fix, wasn't worth its benefits.

I hear ya about filling it in. I've filled a few in over the years too. To do it properly isn't cheap. Tamping every 18" over 8 plus feet is labor intensive. If you don't in a few years you have pool shaped depression in your lawn.

Actually, the pull pictured in my original post has already been through 2 winters with no appreciable difference. I will do as you suggest though since I have no idea what to expect from this winter. Our winters have been so mild lately that I haven't even winterized. I just pump it down a little and wait for the rain to fill it up.

As far as filling it in goes, I think we'll just move in a few years and let someone else have all the fun
