Smoothing Pool Base Before Liner Replacement

We are having to replace our pool liner due to the sand moving and getting divets under the liner causing the liner to get holes in it. What can we use to keep the sand from moving after we smooth it out?


Hi Desari.

Most of the time the second liner will stay much smoother than the first. The sand will have had a chance to pack down under the weight of all the water. I would smooth it out with a push broom and then install the liner from outside the pool, therefore not creating footprints as you are installing it. Our liner installation pages show this method of installation.
