Seeking advice to repair or not?

Dave,

You're absolutely correct. My wife doesn't even notice and wants me to leave it alone.

The water level is below the wrinkles now as I haven't filled my pool up yet for the year. Once the water fills up, the wrinkle will probably dissappear below he return current, but I will know it's there. The 1/2" to1" dip in the paterned border will always remind me of it I guess. Having installed the pool myself, I know there are absolutely no other wrinkles what-so-ever.

I've never done a patch and I'm too worried about opening up a can of worms. At the moment I'm tending not to do the repair. Of course, that's until I get the courage or it drives me nuts looking at it.

Thanks for your perspective.

Your liner leaking? No? Leave it alone!

My liner looks terrible--the original was defective, though well-installed, and failed in 10 days. The liner company had a local crew install the replacement--they didn't know how to work sand, having only done vermiculite. I hate all the wrinkles (espec at night under the lights) but to re-seat the liner mean dumping the water, removing the liner, re-doing the sand PROPERLY and re-setting the liner.

So I'm torn. I want the liner to fail in a couple of years so I can replace it right. OTOH, I want it to last 20 years.....
