Pool liner

[markuszoom5]

I have a pool liner that is about 14 years old. It came with the house. I opened and cleared the water for the 4rh year. The liner's pattern at the deep end is non existent. There is a patch from previous owner due to a dropped tablet. There is a big sink hole near the stairs. Smaller sink holes are all over as well. The darn thing continues to hold water. I am thinking about getting a new liner but this one has no leaks and I never have to worry about bleaching it becuse it's already bleached. The pool plumbing works great. What do you all think? If it ain't broke don't fix it?

I want to hear the answer on this as well. My liner is rough looking, but no leaks. I think its a similar age, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm inclined to let it go until it starts leaking.

That's my approach, mine is about that old also. Each yr. I think this may be the last, but she keeps holding water. I'm sure one day one of the tight areas will split and that will be it.

That is so funny. This is exactly me too. Every year I look at her and go yep she will split for sure. But nope, I brush it, chlorinate it, vacuum it...nothing. Then I close it and say yep next year there will be no water there. But I am wrong.

I even find myself telling people " be careful in that corner, the liner is on its last leg and we could be sitting in here in lawn chairs if we have a blowout.

It could be more likely that it will pop out of the track rather than split. but anything is possible.

When I bought my house 2 years ago, the liner was 23 years old!

It had popped out of liner track in the deep end right after it was put on the market
so the previous owner drained it half way down and just let the water go green.

That was one of the reasons I'm sure it sat unsold for 2 months before I jumped
at the opportunity.

I'll do the same for this new liner, no replacement til it fails.
