Q.How do you remove wrinkles from an inground vinyl swimming pool liner?

A.You can actually pull the vinyl liner away from the coping and use a vacuum smoothing out the wrinkle, this is the way that pool are initially installed, not a big problem.

Q.How do you remove wrinkles on the bottom floor of a swimming pool liner?

A.For your swimming pool liner problem you might try using a regular bathroom type plunger.

Q.Can a corroded light cover in an inground pool cause metal stains on a pool liner?

A.Yes.. If the lite ring or facering are corroded the chemical balance has been way off.

Q.Can a 20 year old gunite pool be converted to a vinyl liner pool?

A.The answer is absolutely! Secondary market products are readily available for a conversion such as this. A plastic, resin, or fiberglass track is installed just under the top edge of the coping around the swimming pool. The track is usually attached with some sort of stainless steel screw. Rolled Wall foam can be cut into long sheets and attached to the existing plaster walls--usually with spray adhesive. The foam evens out the surface and also provides a nice "shock absorbent" pad in between the liner and the wall. Complete measurements of the existing structure need to be taken--and they need to be extremely accurate. Some of these measurements include the height of the wall, angle of slope, depth and step areas. For 99% of these conversions, a liner must be custom manufactured. Because you might hear an installer give you a quote for a "stock liner"--a mass-produced liner made based upon general measurements--carried in quantity at the local distributor.

Conversions are rarely exact, so don't be alarmed if you have a small wrinkle or two.

Expect to spend 25-50% over what a traditional liner replacement would cost. There's not too much of a difference in materials, so the cost will be mainly in the skilled labor.

Q.How do you find a hole in your pool liner when the pool is half full?

A.it's probably a good chance that the hole will be right at or a little below where the water level is right now..if it's a inground..and the water is clean and warm, get in and just start looking at the water level..if not, bend over and do it that way....just in case..plug the return lines to rule them out.

Q.If your pool is an 18'x48' above ground and you want to make the pool deeper what size liner would you buy?

A.An expandable liner for 48" pools. Specify when ordering from your dealer. There's different shapes for the extra depth such as a dish shape and a deep end for an oval pool.
