i had a new pool liner installed and in my area there is a high water table. I have sand bottom. didn't think high water table was going to affect liner to much because pool is only 6 feet deep. when old liner was ripped out sand under liner was a little wet in one area and water was dribbling in very slowly. so we decided to take our chances smooth out bottom and sides best we can and get liner in and start filling pool as fast as possible and take our chances. pool is full now and looks pretty good except in one area there is a bulge in the deep end on the side where it slopes down where sand is pushing againist the liner. is there any way at all i can correct this. old pool liner was 15 years old and last time it was replaced did not have a problem with any water table i guess we just chose a bad day to do it this time.

I've got a contract on a house that had a pool until about 4-5 months ago. The pool needed about $3,000 in work and the guy flipping the house (first time he has ever flipped one) just filled the pool in with dirt. I'd like to excavate the pool but I don't know where to start or if it is even worthwhile. The pump remains in the back yard and I understand he had about 10 loads dumped. Trying to get more info, like "did he punch holes in the bottom of the pool" etc; but haven't gotten a response yet. Has anyone ever done this and would they do it again? And if you did it, where did you start and what was the approximate cost?
