If this is the first time the pool guy has installed a liner, worry, they can make a mess without experience. If he is experienced, relax and let him do his job. If he botches the job, you can always sue him for what it cost to get the job done right. The vermicullite can be smoothed with a cement trowel before the liner is installed. Usually they add a couple of bags of vermicullite to the existing to give it a fresh cushion. They should have a pump going to suck any standing water out of the hole before installing the liner. Then they attach the liner to the coping around the top and run a vaccum in the bottom to suck the air out from under the liner. A shop vac will do both jobs at once. The speed that he is able to do this depends upon his experience. It doesn't take very long though. Better plan on a couple of hours in case something doesn't go exactly like he planned. By the way, I have an 18 x 36 inground with SS walls and vermiculite covering the bottom. Both times I have had the liner replaced, they attached the top edge around the pool, and then cut the drain in the deep end and attached it before putting water in.. As the pool filled, and the liner stretched to fit the pool, they cut in the Light, water returns and skimmer holes. DO WATCH FOR THEM WALKING IN THE UNFILLED POOL WITH BOOTS ON. Both times I have had a replacement, they wore Waffle Stomper Sole boots that left deep foot prints in the vermicullite. The pool liner stretches to form fit the Boot Prints in the bottom of the pool and collects sediment in the tracks. Insist they use a piece of board or some other flat object to stand on and walk around on while working on the vermicullite.
