Replacing a Liner is a Great Way to Refresh a Tired Pool
What To Know When Purchasing A New Liner
Liners are measured by 'mil' or thousandths of an inch. Many retailers sell by gauge or wall + floor gauge, to make their liners seem thicker. The only true measurement for swimming pool liners is in mils. For example, a sheet of printer paper is 10 mil. Because it is a measurement, the higher the number, the thicker the liner. A 27 mil liner is thicker than a 20 mil. If your inground pool wall is either aging steel or concrete, opt for a 27 mil liner for the walls. Add enhanced UV protection and chemical resistance, and you will have a great looking and performing liner for years to come.
Fit is the most important part of purchasing a liner. With a professional measurement for inground pools, this step is taken care of for you. For many aboveground pool liner replacements, measurement is simpler due to standardized sizes. A tape measure and a couple of minutes can help you size out the dimensions of your pool; for length and width measure the inside wall dimensions, not the outside or top rail dimensions. For the height of the pool, fit a tape measure under the bottom of the wall, and measure up to the top of the wall, under the top rail. If the pool is partially inground or obstructed on the exterior, measure in 7-8” from the wall and add a couple of inches for the base beneath the liner.
The final question is what type of liner is on your pool. If you see material on the outside of your pool, you most likely have an overlap liner. If not it is either beaded, or custom fit. For custom fit liners, wall height is an absolute must so we can order the proper liner in for you.
If you still have any questions, take photographs with your phone to bring in, and our Pool Specialists can get the right liner in your pool and have you happily swimming in no time.
Liner Maintenance
While unexpected instances arise that make liners fail, there are simple ways to extend the lifespan of your liner that you can control. Many know that keeping proper chemical levels keep your water clear and healthy, what many do not know is that proper chemical maintenance can extend the lifespan of your liner as well.
If your pH or total hardness levels are too low, the vinyl will become brittle and become more prone to cracking and tearing. The acidity of the water will create a corrosive environment for the vinyl liner, o-rings, and metal components. With Brothers 3's 6-in-1 Test Strips, your levels for all important chemicals can be accurately read and adjusted accordingly. Vacuuming and brushing should be as gentle as possible, as overly strong scrubbing can perforate any vinyl liner, especially in the corners where the wall meets the floor.
If you ever experience any issues with your liner, a Brothers 3 Pool Specialist can guide you towards a solution and troubleshoot any questions or concerns you may have.
