Default anyone got the hook up on pool liners.?

just baught a new house not to long ago and took more then 2 months of working on it before we moved in but was well worth it.

but the previous home owners didnt close the pool to AFTER fall and i got million and millions of leave in it, i drained it in hopes to get rid of all the leaves and clean it but after draining it and filling up about 10 full size garbage cans and dumping it in the street for the town to clean up i said to myself what the hell am i doing, im gonna fill up another 40+ cans and then try scrubbing the liner clean its gonna take a miracle, not that i cant do it but the liner is so badly stained.

its a 58 feet long by 36 feet wide and the liner is not cheap, just wondering if any1 got a hook up and can help me out here

EDITED***

let me put specifics

58 feet long
36 feet wide
3 feet deep in the shallow end
10 feet deep in the deep end
and a hill in the middle, im not sure of the degree of the hill though
and an additional 3 feet for the front steps, 4 steps

You should have told us, Mark could have gotten you a deal on your mortgage. Sorry I can't help you with the pool.

Well with a pool that size I wouldn't have drained it first. I would say get the leaves out and shock the shit out of it. After That it should look to be in better shape. Trust me the first year I did mine it looked like a swamp when I started. after I shocked I just vacuumed to waste and topped it off. You'll probably have to shock it more than once but it is far easier than trying to scrub the whole pool at this point.

Shock is your friend.

everything your saying is true, but the liner is so old and is faded to almost white. i was told the darker the blus the liner is the better the water would look (blue) instead of cloudy. me and my wife said the heck with it and lets just get a new 1

Yes, depending on the soil surrounding the pool
and the local water level in the ground, especially
right after rainstorms.
And you're right about the liner. A new one will look great.
