Above Ground Pool Liners

Conditions that might cause damage

Vinyl pool liners are unfortunately susceptible to damage if the right precautions are not taken. The most common cause of damage to a liner is through the misuse of water treatment chemicals . Make sure that you've read and followed the chemical manufacturer's instructions for recommended use. When you do add chemicals to your pool, be sure you add them one dissolved chemical at a time through the pools filtration system. This technique allows for a more even dispersion throughout the pool. In addition perform regular water PH tests in order to ensure the right balance of chemicals. When it comes to cleaning vinyl pool liners, never use sharp objects or abrasive cleaning agents . Only use cleaning methods recommended by your pool lining manufacturer.

Replacing a Pool Lliner

When a liner does need to be replaced, a host of options are available. Consumers can choose from a wide variety of patterns, textures, colors, thicknesses, and methods of attachment. The right pool liners can easily and cheaply give your pool the look of a much more expensive "in ground" type.

The aesthetic options are endless when it comes to choosing a pool liner these days. You can go with a simple blue liner, or choose from a variety of highly ornamented and tiled designs. Two different pool liners thicknesses are in standard use: 20 millimeter liners and 25 millimeter liners. 20 millimeter liners are normally installed in "above ground" pools, although the stronger and longer lasting 25 millimeter can be substituted. However, a 25 millimeter liner is generally recommended for use in an "inground" pool.
