We had almost the same situation with our water. I can tell you DO NOT drain the pool. My neighbor says they drain their pool every year because they don't want to spend so much money on chemicals to clear the pool. In hindsight, the chemicals would have been cheaper that the new liner we had to buy.

We just put in a new liner in our 24ft./52in. AB pool(that's a whole nother story). Anyway, it seems that this liner is not wanting to stay in the beaded liner receptacle (it has not pulled loose "yet"). So, what I want to find out is: 1)Put bead liner lock all the way around the top of the pool? OR 2)Put a new bead liner receptacle around the top of the pool? HELP!

We just drained our AG at the end of last week because the liner had pulled loose around the top in a foot-long section...DISASTER!!! It shrunk enough that it pulled the beaded liner out of the beading receptacle around half of the pool. Needless to say, we ended up bringing in a truck load of sand to add to the bottom thinking that maybe the ground had settled. Didn't help. We finally had to buy a new liner. Our other one was only three years old. Now, from all the pressure (I suppose) of the weighted, shrunk liner, our beading receptacle looks a bit stretched. We have popsicle sticks all the way around the top of our new liner to keep it from popping all the way. To make a long story short, we will NEVER drain our pool again. My hubby was ready to bulldoze the entire thing to the corner of the yard.
