Q: What warranty do you offer for vinyl liner replacements?
We stand behind the quality of our work and the products we use. As such, we offer a warranty for our vinyl liner replacements. The specific warranty details may vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of liner selected. Our team will provide you with the relevant warranty information based on your chosen vinyl liner. We are committed to your satisfaction and will address any concerns or issues that may arise within the scope of the warranty.
Q: When should my liner be replaced?
Vinyl liners for inground pools typically have a lifespan of 7-10 years when properly cared for and maintained. However, several signs indicate that it may be time to consider a replacement. These include UV deterioration above the waterline, noticeable fading or discoloration, brittleness, small holes or tears, and evidence of chemical abuse. If you observe any of these signs, it is advisable to consult our experts for a thorough assessment and professional recommendation regarding the replacement of your liner.
Q: How long does the liner replacement process typically take?
The duration of the liner replacement process depends on various factors such as the size of the pool, the complexity of the project, and any additional repairs or renovations involved. In general, once we have the vinyl liner from the manufacturer, the replacement process typically takes about three days. This includes draining the pool the night before the job, replacing the liner on the following day, and completing final touches and clean-up on the last day. Our experienced team works efficiently to minimize disruption and complete the process in a timely manner.
Q: Do you offer liner resets?
Yes, we offer liner resets under certain circumstances. A liner reset becomes necessary when the liner experiences offset or floating, often caused by heavy rains or saturated ground. Our experienced team will evaluate the age, elasticity, and overall condition of the liner to determine if a reset is feasible. By draining the pool partially and utilizing specialized techniques, we can reposition the liner, eliminating wrinkles and ensuring a proper fit. If you're experiencing issues with your liner, contact us to discuss the possibility of a liner reset.

Q: How can I extend the lifespan of my vinyl liner?
To prolong the lifespan of your vinyl liner, regular maintenance and proper care are essential. Here are some tips:
-
Maintain proper water chemistry by regularly testing and balancing the chemicals.
-
Keep the pool clean by regularly skimming debris, brushing the walls, and vacuuming the floor.
-
Optimize filtration and circulation by regularly cleaning and maintaining the pool's filtration system. A well-functioning filtration system helps to remove impurities from the water and reduce strain on the liner.
-
Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight, which can accelerate deterioration. Consider using a pool cover when the pool is not in use.
-
Minimize sharp objects and rough play that may cause tears or damage to the liner.
-
Regularly inspect the liner for any signs of wear or damage and address them promptly.
Q: Do you offer pool winterization?
No, but we can refer you to trusted professionals who specialize in pool winterization. Properly winterizing vinyl pools requires specific knowledge and techniques to ensure the protection of the liner and equipment. We can provide recommendations for reliable experts who can handle this essential process with utmost care and expertise.
Q: Can I drain my vinyl pool to clean and/or winterize it?
It is strongly advised not to drain your vinyl pool for cleaning or winterization purposes. Draining a vinyl pool can have detrimental effects on the liner, including potential shrinkage caused by sun exposure, which can significantly shorten its lifespan. Moreover, draining the pool without professional guidance may void any existing warranties from the manufacturer or installer. The only instance in which a vinyl pool should be drained is when it is professionally assessed and determined eligible for a reset by an experienced specialist who understands the proper procedures involved. It is always best to consult with knowledgeable professionals to ensure the longevity and integrity of your vinyl pool.
Q: Should I use a chlorine gas company to treat my vinyl pool?
Absolutely not! Chlorine gas is incredibly destructive to any type of pool, but especially vinyl. It will bleach the color from the liner in a matter of a few seasons. It takes the life of your liner down to 2 or 3 years. It is also toxic the first 24 hours after the pool is treated and can make your kids and pets extremely sick. Many companies offer this because it is inexpensive, but you will pay the cost eventually.

Q: Should I purchase my own in-ground vinyl pool kit and then find an installer?
We don’t recommend this.
-
Most installers will not take on the job.
-
If you find someone to install it, they are highly likely to not give you a warranty because they had no control over the selection of materials and therefore, they have no idea of the quality of the kit
-
Most of these kits come with a liner. This is a problem because it is almost impossible to build a pool to fit a liner. The best way to ensure a proper fit is to build the pool and then measure it and custom order then liner.
-
Most of these kits come incomplete, regardless of what the manufacturer is telling you. There will generally be extra cost for plumbing, vermiculite, and electrical work.
