Pool liners
Here are several tips to help prepare to install new pool liners:
• Drain water
• Remove ladders
• Remove face plates and gaskets
• Remove old liner
• Replace old wall-bolt seam tape with new duct tape
• Sweep area clear of debris
Pool liners add a decorative motif to a swimming pool and cover defects.
Installing a pool liner will give your pool a new look. There are several
steps to installing a new one:
• Measure the dimensions
• Decide what kind of liner you would like to have: vinyl, concrete
or fiberglass.
• Know your budget. Long lasting liners are somewhat expensive
but will save money in the long run.
• Choose the pattern. They come with trees, checkers, bead, and
trees, and more.
• Purchase the liner from a reputable pool supply retailer. Compare
prices and quality to make an informed decision.
It is not uncommon for pool liners to wrinkle. This is distasteful for
aesthetic reasons and can be rectified. If the pool is full and has
small wrinkles a toilet plunger is a handy tool to have. Plunge around
the wrinkle, not directly on it. This will spread the liner out and
hopefully remove the unsightly wrinkle. If there are too many wrinkles
one may have to call a professional service.
