Sun burning a hole in liner

[mgabriel]

The other day, I noticed two big holes in our three year old pool liner. It is above the water liner. I thought it could be the robotic vacuum but the liner manufacturer (Tara) thinks it could be caused by the reflection of the sun from the windows. I didn't realize this could be an issue until I did some research. Anyone ever deal with a similar issue? What can I do to. make sure this doesn't continue to happen?

Do you have any “Low e” glass windows facing the pool? There’s definitely plenty of cases of melted siding caused by low e installations. If you can determine which windows are at issue, then you may be able to have some awnings installed to cut down on the reflections.

Get those patched asap. Don’t assume that it’s ok to leave them since they are above the water line. Even a little water getting behind there can cause all sorts of havoc.

My pool is burning

My pool is about to go up in smoke, literally! Last week I noticed my pool cover was burned. I assumed it was from the leaf embers that might have blown over. Fast forward a few days and I can see it getting worse. Today the wife calls me out and says the pool is smoking! Sure enough we get...

Thank you! I have fixed the holes and look for the best film to apply to the Low E windows that face the pool. I appreciate the help.
