liner

I have a 16’x32’ in ground with a “Bermuda” shape. It’s about a 7 year old Merlin liner. Not sure of the thickness. It has floated pretty much every spring when I’ve opened it (over winter), and I’ve had success getting it back in order with hot water and pumping out the water from behind the...

We noticed these wrinkles forming from our integrated steps and moving towards our skimmer box towards the end of last season. We contacted our builder (pool was just over a yr old at that point), and they took photos. They returned today for more photos to send to the GLI rep. Any clue what...

I have learned and done all my own pool work after inheriting a 20x40ft inground 8.5ft deep end sand filter pool. I replaced all the equipment last year with success. I decided the liner was above my pay grade. I've had terrible experiences with some of the "pool guys" here in Wisconsin when...

Hi TFPeers! I have a plan to repair the liner for an in-ground pool and would like to run it by those with more experience than I have. I have read many of the forums posts and further reading materials here. We would not have ever done as well as we have for the past several years without...

Have a 20 x 41 inground pool with steps and concrete walls. It needs a custom liner and last time (10 years ago) I did it myself but I don’t want to DIY this time. I opened the pool and noticed the water was lower so I’m also have a pressure check on the main drain. Is 8000 including the...

I have an inground SWG pool. I have at least 4 screws that have rusted away that hold the liner track in place, which is causing a section to droop. These screws are under the overhang of the concrete deck, so I am unsure of how to replace them. Any suggestions on how to repair this? What do...

This summer I had some wrinkles develop in my liner around our steps. Steps are steel frame with gravel / concrete poured in them. Steps were installed and liner was replaced 3 years ago. I am wondering what might cause the wrinkles and how they could be fixed.

With our pool season coming to a close soon, I've got a few issues that I need to address before opening next spring. There are the issues: Deep end of pool has sunk 2-3" over the past few years One section of our concrete pad has separated New liner is required What I'd like to do during...

There’s a rip in our pools liner and it’s also come loose from the coping. The liner was originally installed back in 2008. Anything I can do as a temp fix before I think about hiring someone to replace the liner?

Hi All! We have a 9 month old vinyl pool that had a leak in the liner - our PB is replacing the original Hydra liner with a Merlin one next week. We have steel steps and steel tanning ledge that are also covered by the vinyl liner. These steps and edges in the ledge are pretty sharp, and I...

This is an existing install and we're now considering a liner replacement. However, this "issue" has always bugged me and I want to know if this is the proper way to install in-ground steps that are not covered by the liner. I don't see why the liner receiver channel needs to surround the step...

Hello, we just got a new unground pool.. I noticed these holes in the liner at the corners and a couple places where the coping is. They’re all the way through the liner. I asked the installer about it and he said this is normal and happens with all pools during install .. is this true? Will...

Hi Everyone! I am a first time pool owner and this is my first post on this forum, I've read some very informative posts here and I look forward to being a part of this community and learning from you all. I recently purchased a home (built in 2011) in NJ which has an in-ground liner pool, we...

hey everyone, I was watering my garden by the pool yesterday and today I realized I never turned the water off. Today I came out and saw my floating liner puffing out all over. I lowered the level a bit waited one hour and chemistry/salt still look good. Will the puffy liner go down in...

Hi there, New member here; thanks for all the info I've read so far. 🙂 We have a 20+ year, 15x30, above ground pool. Purchased new j-line beaded (I think that's what it's called) liner. Correct size for sure as we have the original pool book. Cleaned up the floor and coved edges, and put down...

So I bought. 24ft x 52 ft summer waves Pool. Paid only 300.00 for it so I don’t mind investing because it came with Lots of extras. Upon putting it together the liner floor is not looking so great. Lots of blistering. So I figured I’d by a replacement liner. However after reading for days now...

New pool owner. Have been lurking a while. First post! We purchased an Intex 18x52” round XRT pool. We are having a hard time with our set up, mostly getting the bottom of the liner to lay in a circle & smooth bottom wrinkles out. My son noticed the stitching in the seam of top sleeve support...

I have a 2 year old vinyl liner that should be under warranty but the pool company that sold it to me, is possibly gone out of business and I am unable to locate a receipt to be able to get warranty coverage for a replacement. I am searching all my receipts and online statements but if I don’t...

Has anyone heard of a temperature rating for vinyl liners? I have an inground vinyl liner pool and my pool supplies store owner (also was the builder) insists that I need to keep my temps in the mid-80s or lower to keep from ruining the liner. I'm having a hard time finding anything online to...

Hi Everyone - I have some questions about pool opening and pool covers. I have an old loop-loc cover that probably is in need of replacement. Each spring, I spend about a week sanitizing the water in my 43k gallon pool. When I remove the cover, the water is black – it’s disgusting. It entails a...

New pool arrived on Wednesday. We spent Thursday & Friday after work finishing site prep & leveling pavers. We have run into an issue with size of the pool and excess liner. We have to widen out the area of the whole pool so that there is not excess liner. Any suggestions on the best way to do that?

Hello everyone! I have a 24' round above ground pool that was installed before I moved in (it sounds like possibly 20 years ago). It was built in a hill with retaining walls on the high and low sides. When we moved in we saw the wall on the low side was leaning out. Over the past 3 years it...

We are planning our pool and it’s time to pick our liner. We are leaning towards Latham Grey Mosaic but have concerns over the safety of it as it’s a darker liner. Our pool is going to be 7’ deep in the deep end and we have lots of young kids that will be using the pool. For those of you who...

Hello! We had been given a 27’ x 54” deep AGP from my cousin. Set up was tedious but went well but now I’m having panic attacks! I am attaching pictures of our wall. The first pic is how the wall looked without water (and even with the first 5-10” in). The next pics are all what I woke up to...

Hello, Hoping someone can help me. This is the first time I've owned a pool. We have a 18' Intex pool that will be put up and taken down each year after summer and has sand under it which helped to level it. Our hose attached to the pump came off and water gushed out causing the sand directly...

We just bought and are 75% finished installing a 18’8” I text pool. There is 14” of water in it. I notice a small area while installing side panel slats that there was a little bit of water between the liner and the tarp. All other areas that could still be checked were fine. The area the water...

Hi all, Just had our pool liner replaced last summer in August. When the liner was filling up with water & vacuums on, I noticed the bottom edges of the shallow end had "air" underneath, It seemed like it was improperly positioned or measured wrong(refer to pics attached). I was told the...

Well, getting ready to open the pool this year and our vinyl liner is shot (7 years old). I have a 20,000 gallon kidney shaped in ground pool. Any recommendations on thickness of liner and how much I can expect to pay for the liner itself and/or installation. I’m hoping no more than $3,000...

All, We've started digging today for a budget pool build. We purchased two sets of used steel walls and are going to reuse them for a 16' x 36' inground pool (purchased a liner that was ordered the wrong dimensions). My question is this: I have enough walls to do the complete 16' x 36' pool...

Replaced pool liner for 40'x20' inground Lazy-L back in 2015. Last Oct I lowered the water to about 10" below the returns instead of the normal 2"-3". Everything fine up until 25-Dec when i looked out and saw that the water had dropped sharply - down to maybe 2" of water on the shallow end...
