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 support that claim. I like to set my heat pump to 88 and let the sun (and solar cover) take the temp up to the 90-94 range (for therapeutic reasons, bad back). My initial thought was that the water temp can't hurt the liner more than the direct sunlight all day -- but he's been building pools for 40 years, and I'm just a regular dude making a guess. I'm wondering if his claim is just bad hand-me-down info or something that he committed to repeating. Thanks in advance!
Max temperature for vinyl liner?

Makes no sense considering all the vinyl pools down south where temps go to upper 90s routinely.
Liners are more prone to damage by low pH, which causes them to get brittle.
