I have an above ground pool that we installed a couple days ago. However we have had some heavy rain and parts of the pool are VERY unlevel now. We are wanting to move the pool to a different area now, but are not sure how to keep the liner from shrinking, as we just bought it. If we put it in a trash can of water, would that work to keep it from messing up? We would do this all in a day or two off work.

Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I hesitate
a lot and never manage to get anything done.

I have an inground pool, which due to storm damage allowed the liner in the shalow end to be exposed to the heat and elements during the recent extreme temperatures in the midwest. Now the liner appears taunt and strenghted, discolored or bleached out as though it shrank by ovr 2″ or more. the cmpany I am daling with says the heat and lack of moisture could not have done this — could you please advise.

I have a very odd question to ask. I am building a home in a tropical climate and will need to put construction on hold for one or two years. I have already built the pool but do not have the pumphouse and other elements connected to the pool. What is the best way to maintain the cement pool? I cannot leave water in the pool due to mosquitos and the pool does not drain by itself. Someone suggested filling the pool with sand. Is this a good idea?

best

I just bought a house with a concrete pool and the old owner told me the main drain was turned off due to the auto vac. I dont see any way of turning the mail drain on, there is only one valve at the pump and that only cut’s of the water supply from the pool to the pump. I would like to be able to use the main drain once in a while so I can sweep what the auto vac doesnt get. Can you help?

Dennis asked if he should remove the plug, that depends on the ground water table in his area.

If the ground water table is high and he removes the plug, liquid water and mud may spray into the pool until the level of muddy water equals the level of the water table, on top of that, the soil that was compacted under his pool will now be disturbed and the pool shell may ” Settle ” and this could cause serious damage.

If he has any doubt as to when, if and how he should remove a plug for painting, he may want to consult a professional.

My gunite pool has 2 openings in the bottom drain. 1 goes straight down the other is at 90 degrees. The one in the bottom has a plug in it, should I remove this plug when draining for repaint and replace when I am done before filling?
