OUR PROCESS
The labor involved in replacing a vinyl liner begins with the measuring of your pool for the new liner. After the liner is delivered (allow 2-3 weeks), replacing a vinyl liner is a full day job.
- The pool is drained, the old liner is cut up into smaller pieces and removed to the recycling plant.
- We then start to work on the walls. Wall joints are taped, rust or irregularities are scraped and sanded. If the wall is rough, pitted or corroded, we will recommend foaming the walls to prevent contact with the new liner. Wall foam also gives the walls a nice, soft feel and can give some additional protection against tearing of the vinyl.
- All of the face plates surrounding the suction and return ports are removed. The track, where the bead of the liner fits into, is inspected, and if necessary, cracked sections may be replaced.
- Floor preparation is the final step before "dropping" the new liner and setting with a vacuum. If the floor is sand, remove any discolored or muddy sand, and replace with new. The floor is hand troweled with large plaster trowels floats to remove any irregularities and achieve design specs for which the liner was manufactured. Pebbles and sand balls are removed while we back out of the pool very carefully. If the floor is cement or vermiculite, it is swept and cleaned. Irregularities such as cracks and divots are filled in with a vermiculite mixture and troweled smooth.
- After the walls and floors are prepped, two to four people can drape the liner across the pool and lock it into the track. Positioning one or two vacuums to set the liner into place, working out any wrinkles as the vacuums suck out the air from behind the liner, creating a tight, suctioned fit.
- Finally, the main drain and steps (if they exist), are cut in and the plates are put on.
- We then start to fill the pool. The vacuums continue to operate until the water level is at a predetermined point on the wall. We remove the vacuums and lock in the liner at these points. The pool continues to fill.
