Keeping groundwater away from pool liner?

In areas with high groundwater levels, it is important to take steps to keep groundwater away from pool liners. This can be done by:

1. Installing a sump pump. A sump pump is a device that removes water from a basement or other low-lying area. It can also be used to remove groundwater from around a pool. The sump pump should be placed in a location where it will be able to collect water from all around the pool.

2. Using a French drain. A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or other porous material that allows water to drain away. It can be installed around the perimeter of the pool to collect and drain groundwater.

3. Sealing the pool liner. The pool liner should be sealed around the edges to prevent water from seeping in. This can be done with a variety of materials, such as caulk or sealant.

4. Installing a vapor barrier. A vapor barrier is a material that prevents moisture from evaporating from the ground. It can be installed under the pool liner to prevent groundwater from evaporating and entering the pool.

5. Grading the area around the pool. The area around the pool should be graded to slope away from the pool. This will help to prevent water from pooling around the pool and seeping in.

By following these steps, you can help to keep groundwater away from your pool liner and protect your pool from damage.

Additional tips:

- If you have a lot of groundwater in your area, it may be a good idea to install a dehumidifier in the pool area. This will help to remove moisture from the air and prevent it from condensing on the pool liner.

- If you have a pool cover, be sure to keep it on when the pool is not in use. This will help to keep rain and other water from getting into the pool and raising the water level.

- Inspect your pool liner regularly for any signs of damage. If you see any damage, be sure to repair it immediately to prevent further damage.
