Re: Anyone have a sand caremel color liner? What do you thi Absolutely pleased. Although my point of comparison was a much lighter old and faded liner from when we bought the house. It's raining today so I can't get a full sun pic yet. Just looking I would have never thought this liner is a...

I have a local builder coming out to do a liner replacement but it will be sometime in May before the install can be completed. My existing liner is starting to tear down past the water line and my question is this. Is is safe to drain the pool for an extended period of time if the liner is...
