I have a 15x30 above ground with beaded liner. Just seen under the rails where the beaded liner attaches it appears rusted badly where the support posts are. The top rail and posts are composite. I thought the bead track was a composite and not sure what is rusting at this point. How worried should I be? This was professionally installed maybe 15 years ago.

I think you are simply seeing a pool that is reaching the end of its lifespan. Not much you can do with those rusted areas at this point I'm afraid. Where you the owners who had that pool installed? Is that company still in business where you could reach out to them?

I am the one that had it installed. It looks like the bead track which is plastic is rusted unless underneath the wall is rusted and eating through the bead track? The company that I bought the pool from is out of business, the ones that installed it are still around but I prefer not to call them.
