Liner has Come out of the Track

My liner has come away from the beading and slipped down around 1/2". Is there any easy way to pull it back into position?



Hi Peter. Yes, it can be put back into the groove. The question will be how much water will you need to let out of the pool before this can be done. Try working with it during the hottest part of the day, or the time of day when that area has the most direct sunlight. The sun works like magic to make a vinyl liner more pliable and workable.

You may need to drain some water out of the pool. If so, take out only what is necessary. As the pool is draining keep trying to put the liner in place. At some point it will go back into the groove and you should start immediately refilling the pool.

If the refilling is done in direct sunlight you have the best chance of the liner staying in place. The sun will allow the liner to stretch a little and it may not be so tight in that spot.
