It is important to make informed decisions about your pool liner and not replace it unnecessarily. Pool companies may sometimes suggest replacing a liner as a way to generate more business, but it is important to evaluate the condition of the liner and determine whether replacement is truly necessary. Perhaps a diffrent solution is a better road to take.
To make your pool liner last longer, there are several steps you can take:
- Regular maintenance: Proper maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your pool liner. This includes keeping the water chemistry balanced, cleaning the pool regularly, and keeping debris out of the pool.
- Avoid sharp objects: Avoid placing sharp objects in the pool, such as toys or equipment that could puncture or damage the liner.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure: This sounds odd since its a pool and its meant to be out in the sun. Unfotuntaly like anything else overexposure to sunlight can cause the liner to fade and become brittle. Consider using a pool cover when the pool is not in use to reduce sun exposure.
- Address issues promptly: If you notice any signs of damage or wear, such as tears, punctures, or discoloration, address them promptly to prevent further damage.
- Overuse of chemicals like chlorine over time will also make your liner brittle and fade faster. If you have ever let chlorine sit directly on your liner I'm sure you have seen the stain it cause's. Actually, what's happening is your bleaching that part of the liner that was in direct contact with such a harsh chemical.
