Question:

How do I properly remove my above ground pool?

Answer: by Osko Pool n Spa Onground Pool Removal Guide
Recently, a reader of one of my other articles asked the question;

" How do you take down an above ground swimming pool to move it? I can't seem to find anything to help me. I read your article on replacing a liner but I need to know how to move the entire pool".

Well, (I thought to my self), this is a very good question. So, here is a basic step-by-step guide on the basic proceedure: ( You'll need at least three people, to help with your wall).

1) Drain all water out of pool using a sump pump.

2) Remove skimmers, returns, lights etc.

3) Remove old liner, (use a razor knife and cut into manageable folded pieces). You'll need a new liner if your going to reinstall the pool.

4) Remove Top Seat Ledge covers

5) Remove Top Seat Ledges.

6) Remove Top Rail and Joiner Plates.

7) Locate Wall Bolt Joint on the Pool Wall and remove the corresponding Upright.

8) Now, get some help and remove all Wall Bolts and associated hardware.

9) Next, start pulling the wall out of the bottom rail (track). And roll the wall up as you remove it from the bottom rail. When finished, duct tape the wall so it does not unroll.

10) Pull the uprights, bottom rail and bottom rail joiner plates out of the ground in sections.

11) Remove uprights from bottom joiner plates.

12) Make sure to separate all components and save all hardware!

That's it!

Hope this helps!

no --it will be most beneficial
the sad will act a soft base and will protect the liner from sharp rocks etc and will prevent punctures to the pool liner
to prolong the life of the steel sidings paint the inside up to around 6 inches with a bitumastic ( ormonoid or tar ) paint as this paint will prevent rust at the bottom of the sidings from the steel and moist sand
the secret is to ensure that the pool is perfectly level all round and to keep the pool full at all times as the chlorine on the plastic liner will deteriorate the plastic and create pin hole leaks where exposed

• Get some food coloring...
  
  • Squeeze bottle works best
  • Or pool leak detection Dye
• get some good goggles...
• get in the pool, start at one specific area...
• and take a deep breath...
• Now follow all the seams 1st, squeeze some dye in a suspected area and watch. If the dye gets sucked in, there's a leak! If it just puddles and hangs around, keep checking somewhere else.
• Once a lead IS found, vinyl liner pool patch! Can even be used under water.

Good luck on your warranty. I'm sure it will be pro-rated. 10 years is a long time for a liner to last. It usually costs 2,000-3,000 for a new liner and installation.

need more info if you fill but leave system off it will stop leaking at level check around liner especially seams and where hoses go into wall

Your picture above is of a pool float, but I assume you are talking about an inflatable ring pool. Is that right? If so, this link will take you through a tutorial on how to find and repair pool leaks:

The easiest way to patch a hole in a vinyl pool liner is with the water still in the pool. With an inexpensive underwater repair kit, some swimming goggles and a few hours to allow the patch to cure, you will be back to enjoying your aquatic playground. jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){ jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); }); }); Difficulty: Easy Instructions Things You'll Need:

• Pool repair kit (underwater) Rag Scissors Swimsuit Swimming goggles

1. Step 1 Locate the tear in the liner. You may need to get into the pool and examine the surface wearing swimming goggles.
   
2. Step 2 Read the patching kit instructions thoroughly before starting the job.
   
3. Step 3 Clean debris from the area around the tear using a rag.
   
4. Step 4 Use scissors to cut a patch for the hole. Use the vinyl from the repair kit to for the patch. Be sure it is at least 2 inches in diameter and will cover the entire hole.
   
5. Step 5 Use applicator brush that comes with kit to apply adhesive to the back of the vinyl patch. Do not apply too much adhesive or the patch will not cure properly.
   
6. Step 6 Fold the patch in half. The adhesive should be on the inside of the fold.
   
7. Step 7 Enter the pool water and relocate the area in need of patching. If hole is accessible from the outside of the pool, there is no need to get into water.
   
8. Step 8 Hold patch underwater as close to the hole as possible. Unfold patch while underwater and apply to the hole.
   
9. Step 9 Press the patch firmly while smoothing it from the center to the outside edges. This will help remove any excess air bubbles or water from under the patch surface.
   
10. Step 10 Let patch cure as indicated on repair kit instructions.
    

The only problem is that ther is a leak in the liner. Generally at the bottom where a rock or debris has made a small hole. They can be patched but the pool will need to be drained. Call your local pool service company.
