zooba72 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi Everyone, I apologize in advance for all the questions ... I recently purchased a home with an IGP 18 x 36 T shape design. This pool has not been opened in over 3 years and the overall condition is poor. After trying to clean all of the old dirt and dried silicone from the filter and pump unions, I opened the pool yesterday. There are two major problems that I can see, and was curious if someone can provide recommendations: Pool Has 1/2" of Mud on the bottom of the entire pool ... I'm looking to rent a stand-alone vacuum system to avoid putting additional stress on the filter/pump. Does anyone know if people rent these? Someone recommended vacuuming the pool with the multi-pot on waste and putting a stocking over the filter basket ... Can anyone provide their thoughts on this? The vinyl liner is sagging in many locations. There appears to be two liners and I can see the second liner has slipped out of the liner track. Is there any way of stretching the liner back to the track? I read about using boiling water or a heat gun .... Any thoughts on this? Finally, there is a descent sized tear in the liner that I patched. I want to put another patch over the existing one that matches my liner. Can someone recommend liner patch adhesive? Thanks everyone .... Appreciate any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
