When to Replace Vinyl Pool Liners?
Vinyl pool liners are durable, yet they don't last for life. Typically, they need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average, but different factors can contribute to having to replace the liner sooner.
If it has been 10 years since your inground pool installation, contact Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs today to inspect your vinyl pool liner.
Here are the Key Signs to Watch Out For:
- Tears and Holes: Frequent repairs start to add up over time. If there are multiple places where the liner is torn or punctured, it may be more cost-effective to replace the liner.
- Fading and Discoloration: Sun exposure, pool chemicals, and other elements can cause the liner to lose its bright colour and either appears dull or unevenly faded.
- Wrinkles and Sagging: A vinyl liner should be tight against your pool. Wrinkles or sagging areas may mean that the liner has stretched or has lost its shape.
- Water Loss and Leaks: If water continues to leak, even after small holes are patched, the liner is no longer holding and can cause considerable water damage.
- Algae Growth: Algae and mold can build up in the liners with age, particularly when the material starts to deteriorate. In addition, liners that have become hard to clean or are discoloured due to algae should be replaced.
If these issues start to concern you, it is best to consult a professional who can evaluate the situation and advise replacement when necessary. Inground pool installation and liner replacement can help you regain your pool's appearance and functionality.
