Hey all, I'm relatively new to swimming pools and have operated this pool for 2 years now with fairly good luck. However this spring when i removed my winter cover I was confronted with a liner that looks like it has pulled away in several spots.

I have done some reading including on this forum about "beaded liners" and how to heat them up and stretch them back into position. I think I understand, but wanted to get some input:

1. what type of liner I have (beaded or not)
2. any other trick that might be helpful?
3. should this be something I try myself or best left to professional to prevent things from getting worse?
4. do i need to drain my pool completely to do this repair?

Thanks for all comments.
