Hello,
Looking at pool liner mounting options I was all excited about the beaded liner approach until I thought about how splashing water and waves might get to the inner pool wall at the joints between the bead track segments. With a beaded liner, the liner itself does not go all the way to the top of the pool wall. The top section of the pool wall is only being covered by the sections of plastic bead track. But at the joints between each end of bead track, there is no seal--nothing to keep water from getting in between those cracks and then flowing down on the inside of the pool wall and starting rust.
It seems with a J-hook liner, the liner goes up and over the top of the wall and offers more protection to the inside of the pool wall from the pool's water.
I realize that replacing a beaded liner in the future is potentially easier with the bead tracks (don't have to remove the top rails) but at this point I'm mostly concerned about pool wall rust prevention.
What do you all think?
