Swimming pool question Chris H?
Bonibelle:
I have an above ground pool with a vinyl liiner. When I uncovered it over the weekend, I noticed that some of the beaded liner had come off the track...or what ever it is rolled over. I called all over for help but no one seemed to know what to do other than to empty the pool and wait for a service guy...I tried to pull the liiner up and roll it where it belongs but I couldn't keep it in place. Hubby wanted to start bringing the water level up to the filters, so we did. Does anyone know anything about beaded liners or how to get them back where they belong? We can still use the pool but the pattern in the liner is a little wavy in that area. After a few beers no one would know the difference but it is buggin me.
I think Chris H was a pool guy?? Thanks

I can't imagine being able to re-seat the beaded edge with water in the pool. But, I'm not a pro. Just a user.
(Waiting curiously near by to hear the correct procedure. :) )
Bonibelle:
I bet you are right Drew, but Hubby can't wait...it is 90 degrees here and he WON'T wait so it is full to the skimmer and unless someone knows a special trick, my liner will look like a wave pool..or something. This has been a pain since the beaded liner was installed. And the goof that installed it has been NO help at all...Oh well :-/

I'd aggresivley go for an answer if Chris aint around, I'd make some calls or maybe poolspaforum.com can help? (it's kinda of slow over there and I don't know the qualilty of the advice, fwiw).
I would be very concerend about streatching our the liner if it's in there half a$$ed and has a few tons of water pulling on it. Once it's properly re-seated it might never look right.
I would also be concerned about water behind the liner and wall. (Corrosion of the steel wall, damage to any foam?, and water erosion around footings. Plus, if it's not seated right, it may start to pull out further and further.
:P

Sorry, I don’t really read this forum anymore unless I am traveling and bored in my hotel room. There is a product called “Liner Lock.” The best way to install it is with little water in the pool so you don’t have any tension on the liner. Basically the “Liner Lock” puts a wedge in the bead receiver making the liner stay in place.
