First I want to thank you for this forum. We moved into a new home with an existing pool (small, vinyl, 13K+ gallons) in 2005. Pool needed a new liner. Having no experience we had a company install (30 mil) - very expensive. If we every need a new one I will self-install. I'm a big do-it-your-selfer. No sense in paying someone for something you can do on your own.

Anyway I struggled through the chemical learning process with help from reading the forums. Many thanks. Saved me lots of $ and helped me through some self-induced issues. I was cleaning manually the first 2 years then we purchased an Aquabot automatic cleaner. Great product. Found one for a good price on the internet.

Last year I developed a few wrinkles in the liner. This year its much worse. Also experiencing water behind the liner. My guess is the only way to fix is drain and refit at night or on a dreary day - or will I need the sun to tighten it up? Corners and edges are all still properly aligned. It's like the bottom stretched. Getting ready to close and now would be a good time.
