Should I Replace My Pool Liner?

Vinyl pool liners tend to last a good 8-12 years with proper maintenance and care. Over time, vinyl pool liners will experience wear and tear.

So eventually, a vinyl pool liner replacement will be needed for your pool. Even if you are a do-it-yourself person, we would recommend pool owners to have a vinyl pool liner replacement professionally installed.

Not all pool owners know what to look for before deciding if they need a pool liner replacement, so we’re here to help!

What should you look for before deciding if you need a pool liner replacement?

Deterioration

The sun and pool chemicals can cause vinyl pool liners to deteriorate over time, which leads to cracks and tears. Cracks and tears are never a good sign for pool liners, so make sure to check around the skimmer, lights, and pool steps.

Numerous cracks and tears may lead to water leaks, which is a strong indication that your pool liner needs to be replaced. Even though some cracks and tears are easily patchable, if several exist, your pool may be losing more water than you think.

Stretching

A vinyl liner loses elasticity over time and becomes stretched, making replacements necessary. Loose fittings around the skimmer and the pump are a good indication that your pool liners are stretching.

A pool liner that’s stretched could also wrinkle and cause your pool to lose water.

Fading and Stains

Vinyl pool liners fade as they age, especially when they’re exposed to pool chemicals and sunlight. As pool liners age, they may get stained from algae or rust.

These two types of stains are very tough to remove. If your pool liner is full of these stains, it may be a wise move to have your pool liner replaced.
