Vinyl Swimming Pool Liners

All vinyl swimming pool liners should compliment your pool for years to come. Know the important parts and questions to ask for your inground or above ground swimming pool liners.

Ask The Right Questions

1. What's the price? Is that the best you can do? There are others out there I like, you know?
2. Installation cost?
3. How about cleaning it? What do I need and why? Will you take care of that or do I?
4. What's the warranty? I heard some warranties are up to 20 years? Is that correct? What does it cover and not cover? I need to see specifics.
5. Do you install it or do you have a sub-contractor? Is he licensed and insured? Is he experienced in these kinds of liners? I need to see proof.
6. What are the safety features? What would happen if one of the safety features fail? If it does fail, who is responsible?
7. If it does fail, who will fix it? Will you fix it, or do you contract that out to someone else? Who is it? Why do you use them? How long have they worked with you?
8. How about free delivery? I want that in writing.
9. How do you resolve complaints?
10. Are you part of the Better Business Bureau or the National Spa and Pool Institute? Have you had an excessive number of complaints?
Call the Better Business Bureau to verify
11. How long has your crew been working for you?
12. How much experience do they having installing my kind of liner?
13. If it rips, will you take care of the swimming pool liner repair?
14. Do you have a high turn-over rate? If so, why and what specifically is the training?
15. Do you offer financing? Is that the best rate you have? I bet I could get a better rate somewhere else.
16. I'd like to have references

Installing A Vinyl Pool Liner

Inground Pool Liner Sizes and Prices

Here are some sizes and prices you may find. These and not concrete, just ball-park figures.

One Last Thing

If it's possible, try to use a 30 Mil. vinyl on the walls. This is the place on vinyl swimming pool liners that get the most wear, especially at the waterline and the corners. I've found the most popular inground swimming pool liners have the 20 Mil. floor and a 30 Mil. wall. The "Mil." or "Gauge" simply refers to the thickness of vinyl swimming pool liners. The larger the number, the thicker the Gauge or Mil. Just remember a general rule of thumb:

The thicker vinyl swimming pool liners are a bit more expensive.

Refurbished Swimming Pool

Is That It, Finally?

The answer to that age-old question is a nice but firm, "Yes!" When you choose a great contractor, have everything all set up, ask the right questions, all that's left is choosing the right color and pattern. I like to take my wife along with me to tell me what I like. Just a little marriage joke.

Remember: Get the best contractor and the best color and pattern. Simple and easy. Don't complicate things by having the dreaded paralysis of analysis. Allow the process to be fun and maybe, a little spontaneous. Not the contractor, the vinyl swimming pool liner.

I think buying a brand spankin' new inground swimming pool liner is like getting a new car. The smell and feel of that liner when it's being installed, filling up the pool, then jumping in and letting the smoothness glide under your feet, and remember to use these great swimming pool maintenance tips to keep your swimming pool running and looking its best.

And last, just get out there and have fun swimming. Have fun with your family and friends, splashing around for hours, until sunset, then have dinner, get a shower, and collapse into bed.

Believe me, if you want your kids to go to bed early, tell them to go swimming.

They'll get all their energy way out.

Happy Swimming
