Tipton Pool Builders explain the bottom line purpose of a swimming pool liner
Making a decision on your swimming pool and its liner, in some cases, comes down to aesthetics. You certainly want a liner that is aesthetically appealing and swimming pool liner manufacturers are heeding that call and offering myriad pool styles, colors and designs. As a practical matter though, the swimming pool contractors from Tipton Pools, explain that the pool liner is what gives your pool its structural integrity and without it frankly, the water would not stay in. That’s the true bottom line — keeping the water in, right?
Vinyl liner swimming pools are a popular option because they are a less expensive alternative to other styles and the 
options available for color and style make them ideal for pool owners wanting to put their unique stamp on their family swimming pool. There are beaded liner pool styles and overlap liners from which to choose. The beaded style provides a decorative “beaded” finish while the overlap style fits into the lip of the pool and is secured by the decking.
When you’re in the midst of a pool remodel, part of that might be to replace your pool liner. While these liners can last for decades — with proper care — there will come a time when you will want to replace it for aesthetic reasons or need to replace it because of a rip or tear.
If your pool contractor is going to replace the liner, here are the steps he will take:
- The old liner will be removed
- The pool base will be washed down
- Your contractor will make certain he has a smooth surface on which to reapply the new liner so it stays flat and doesn’t wrinkle
- He will install the new vinyl liner and stretch it to fit the rebar
- Once it is smooth and everything is secure, he will begin to slowly fill the pool, working out any wrinkles as it fills
Ask your builder whether it’s time for a new liner and how long the process could take.
