1) is there a good pool newsgroup my newsreader just isnt finding?
2) just purchased a house with pool. first time weve opened the pool. its a
aboveground 16x24 with diff depths of 3' and 7' yes i know thats odd. during
its neglect the liner seems to have unlocked from the top channel with some
sort of plastic strip to lock it in. tried pulling it up too heavy of water.
so i started draining. buddy stops by, says draining pool completly is worse
thing to do to pool. ok. what do i do to get that to lock in then?
thanks



1 - Not that I have found. There are several good Internet web pages.
Google for pool maintenance and go from there

2 - It is a bad idea to drain an inground pool. The water table can
rise under the pool and actually pop the whole thing out of the ground
ruining the pool. On an above ground I don't see any reason not to
drain it other than the expense of refilling it.
