I'm trying to buy a liner for my Doughboy pool. I talked to a pool supply store who was happy to sell me a replacement liner until they found out it was a Doughboy pool. They changed their tune telling me that you *must* use Doughboy liners in a Doughboy pool. They couldn't tell me why, just that "generic liners won't work".
Seems to me to be BS. I can't see anything magic about the Doughboy pool. The liner overlaps the top of the pool, so it isn't like there is a special receiver involved.
I have noticed the pool measures a bit under 28' (27' 9" one direction, 27' 11" measured 90 degrees from the first measurement). So, I figure the actual diameter to be 27' 10". Is that 2" difference from 28' critical?
A Doughboy replacement liner is $1200. The best generic liner I can find is around $600. The pool is 15 years old, so I don't want to drop a bunch of money on it.
Has anyone put a generic liner in a Doughboy pool?
