Old liner into cover.

[Juggalo_931]

Is such a thing possible? Im about to replace my liner (waiting for the mailman) and i have to remove the old one. Could it be turned into a cover?

Maybe? Problem is that it will not necessarily stay floating and may not lay flat. I have read of some using the old liner as a ground liner, although maybe that was people using old Intex pools below their new ones.

When they replaced my liner, the old one was brittle and had the sand and algae stuck on the bottom.
It wasn't pretty.
Nothing I wanted to ever see again, least of all to get into contact with my nice, new and clean water!!

Nope.............it will be too brittle and make a big mess if you try. Now you can leave it under the new liner IF the bottom is still smooth.

All very good points i hadnt considered. My new liner just arrived along with my first ever test kit. Looking forward to learning a lot this summer.

Have you watched the videos of the tests yet? If not do so. They are easy but is sure helps to have it right in front of you to see to make sure.

FC-if you let this test sit after getting it clear it might turn pink again. Just ignore it.
pH-I like to do this one under a bright light with a white plate behind it to help me make the color match.
CYA-GLANCE only for the dot. Do NOT look for it. Pour to the first line (100) GLANCE in . If you see the dot pour to the next line. Keep going until you don't see the dot at a GLANCE.

I for sure will once the liner is in and the pool is full. I bought ph meter so hopefully thatll help me with that one.

Never do that; double liners will wrinkle & fungus will quickly be visible from poolside.
