Hi-

I have a 6 year-old Outback 24' round pool. This winter, it sprung a

leak and was totally empty when I uncovered it this spring. I patched the
holes

and tried filling the pool, but when it reached about a foot deep, the liner

started tearing around the top on one side of the pool. I figured the bottom
of

the pool was somehow off-center, putting more stress on one side of the
liner. I

pulled all the plastic locking bead off and carefully nudged the liner to
where

I think it is centered. I re-secured the liner with the bead using the
original

marks as a guide. This time (during filling), the metal walls started
collapsing in several areas

around the pool. I released the bead and liner, and the liner ended up well

below the top edge of the metal wall.

What is the proper procedure for installing an above-ground liner, and,

is it possible the liner would have shrunk to the point it won't reach the
top

edge of the pool properly?

Thanks for reading and for any replies!!
