Pool Walls Have Rippled

by Laura
(Albany, NY)

Hello,
On 1/2 of my above ground 24' pool, the walls have rippled or buckled from the ice and snow - we have a ton. Half the cover was pulled into the pool, even though it was tightened and held in place w/ ropes and heavy bottles. Seemed to happen overnight. The "uprights" for the most part are ok, except for maybe 3 that have bent some.

Can my pool recover from this? Will the sides re-form when the ice melts? What will happen when the ice melts? (anything I can do?)The pool is only 3 years old, and I'm very upset.

Thanks - Laura



Hi Laura. There is a lot of this type of damage this winter caused by all the snow. You will not know the extent of the damage until everything melts and the pool is full of water and cleaned up. Some of the creases may pop out on their own and some may not. The creases that don’t pop out may have no effect on the pool except a visual thing so it’s pretty hard to know if there is any permanent damage.

My only suggestion is to keep the pool full of water and get it running as soon as possible. Beyond that I would need to see pictures to get a better understanding of what the pool is going through.
