5 Things to Know About Popping a Pool Liner Back In

Use a pool liner lock tool A $10 plastic hook tool slides under the liner to push the edge back into the track without damaging it.

Lower the water if the liner is tight If the liner is under tension, drain a few inches of water to reduce pressure before attempting the fix.

Warm up a cold liner first Cold liners are stiff and brittle. Let the sun warm it for an hour so it becomes flexible enough to work with.

Never use a screwdriver or sharp tool Sharp objects will poke holes in the liner. Stick to the plastic lock tool only.

Call a pro if the liner is old or brittle If the liner cracks when you try to move it, stop. Old liners need professional replacement, not a DIY fix.
