So...I have lots of small holes in my liner, due to the last owner of the house not putting in sand or whatever was needed under the liner when it was replaced, and I'm now losing water and have to fill up an inch or so every few days. I have patched and patched since we moved in 4 years ago, but the rocks keep moving up under the liner and with people stepping here and there it works a hole eventually. I notice water on the ground on one side of the pool that looks like its coming from under the pool. Not a lot, but its always wet there, I'm assuming its from the liner leakage.
Here's my questions...
Should I just replace the pool and liner at the same time?
The pool is at least 15-20 years old, the railings are a bit beat up and underneath them there is rust in a few spots. Other than that it seems OK.
Can I replace the liner myself, if I decide to only replace the liner? I hear its a pain in the a$%. And I'm picky. If there are wrinkles and its not done right it will drive me crazy for the years to come.
What kind of material goes underneath a liner? I have mostly clay soil with rocks, and I want to make sure the new pool/liner is good to go with no rocks working their way up and poking holes again.
When is the best time to install a liner?
