Pool liner replacement by far is the most common above ground pool repair that comes my way. I have been doing this kind of work for fifteen years now and pool liner replacement tops my list. Many things go wrong but winter ice damage ranks number one. Pool liners last for about 5-8 years, some last for many more. But most above ground liners last just a few years. For simplicity let's say around 5 years.

Quite often an above ground pool repair involving a liner will be from ice damage caused by winter. The ice on top of the pool melts at the beginning of spring as soon as the weather actually starts to warm. The ice shifts and helps to create liner punctures. This represents about 80% of most liner changes in North America. Other Twenty percent is produced by things like sharp objects, bad manufactured liners, bad chemistry etc.

Before you can change your liner you'll need to know what size and style liner you will need. For a round pool you need the height measurement as well as the pools diameter. For an oval pool you will need height, length and width. Once you determined what style liner you have like J-Hook or beaded then you will be ready to start your en devour. I will suggest that you hire a person like me, one who knows his way around a pool. But if you don't that's OK, you can do this.

Which style you have versus what you can purchase is null. Because you can replace any above ground pool liner with another style. You may have to convert from one to the other, but it can be done. The best advice we could give when shopping around for a new above ground pool liner is to find a good quality liner with the best warranty you can get.

Once the liner is in place and the water is put back into the pool. Your chemistry regiment begins by testing and re-testing until it's just right. You see the best precaution one can take to keep your liner brand new is to keep testing the water on a regular basis.

To recap your above ground pool liner replacement will depend on measuring your pools height, diameter, and length-width. The design and style of pool liner needed, finding a contractor and testing your water regularly thereafter.
