How do you remove wrinkles from an in-ground vinyl swimming pool liner?

January 23, 2016

We always recommend that you use a professional like the Liner Specialists for any pool repairs or installations. However, you can remove wrinkles from your pool liner by yourself if the entire liner is not wrinkled. If your pool is not full of water and there are a few wrinkles in the lining you want to get rid of, you can smooth out the wrinkles with a toilet plunger. You are advised not to put the toilet plunger directly on the wrinkle, but you can put it to the side of it to remove wrinkles from the pool liner.

To remove wrinkles from the pool liner where the entire liner is wrinkled, you should have it done professionally. If the liner has a fold in it, you need to call a professional. This is because the pool will probably need to be drained and the pool liner will have to be reset in order to get rid of the wrinkles. If you try to perform this task on your own, you may end up doing structural damage to your pool and/or liner.
