Hello everyone.
This season I was thinking about replacing my liner. The liner is 8 years old this year and was originally installed with our pool. For this reason I do not know the mil or quality of the liner. I purchased my 24' round from NAMCOM in early 2009, so I'm sure it's so-so. Anyhow, the reason I am thinking about having it replaced is the pool hasn't gotten any use in the past few years. With me being away most of the year and only home for a few weeks here and there, my wife and kids joined the local pool because she wouldn't have to take care of it. The past 3 seasons it seems like the cover has ripped due to high winds in our area which causes the pool to fill up with nature and get completely nasty. By the time I come home for a few weeks near the end of the season it seems like I am spending my time running the pool 24/x7, brushing adding bleach everyday, etc. All to close it again and usually with the levels not so ideal. Last year I returned home in the middle of summer and thought I'd be able to get the levels perfect and even swim in it, but even with the new sand filter it helped, but I didn't start making progress during the SLAM until I was about to leave again. Needless to say I closed the pool and around December my wife said the cover was ripped again and as always the pool looks bad. So, I was wondering how much abuse it can take? Since it's been exposed to the element and harsh PA winter and caked algae at the bottom (I'm sure), I was wondering if I should purchase a new liner and have a local pool company instal it or if with sometime I could salvage the one that's in there? Would that even be worth the time and hassle at this point? I'm hoping to be home permanently this year in the middle of the summer, at worse maybe October with no more traveling. Once home again I will have a better grasp on things with the pool and can replace covers, etc fairly quickly if need be.
I know this was very long winded, but should I look at a liner replacement? If so, where do you all recommend I purchase one at? I heard the BLUE DENALI WITH BLUE MOSAIC is a strong liner.
Thank you!
Judd
