Is it Time to Replace Your Vinyl Pool Liner?

Vinyl liners play a critical role in your pool’s makeup. Aesthetically, a beautiful liner can catch the eye. Functionally, a fully intact liner retains pool water.

While these facts may seem obvious, pool owners often ignore telltale signs that it’s time to change their vinyl liners. But why is installing a new liner important, and when is it time?

Installing a new vinyl liner will enhance the look of your swimming pool, and can ultimately be a transformative piece of any backyard makeover. No matter your style, we carry a wide variety of patterns to help you achieve it. Reflective liners are colorful and relaxed, while our vivid liners offer striking details. You can create a deep and seductive feel with alluring or infinity liners. All options make for a great pool facelift.

Most importantly, though, replacing your liner will give you a fresh layer of protection between pool water and pool floor. There are a number of unavoidable occurrences that wear down your pool over time. The greatest factor of vinyl deterioration comes from the beating sun evaporating your water and creating a chemical imbalance. But damage can occur in a number of ways. Damage can be detected by:

– Cracking
– Tearing
– Fading
– Staining
– Wrinkling
– Slipping
– Stretching

Why is this bad? Well, unless properly treated, each of these problems
could snowball out of control and cause catastrophic damage to your floor. A crack grows, wrinkling causes holes, etc. When water seeps into the ground sinkholes can form. Repairing and replacing your pool costs a fortune, and no amount of liner patching in the world will prevent that from happening.

So when is it time to replace your liner? The simple answer is as soon as you notice any of the listed symptoms. But if your pool liner hasn’t been changed in over five years, it’s time to start paying closer attention.
