• The liner is coming off the track – Although this problem
is not uncommon, there is not an easy fix for it. Fixing this takes
a little know how and a lot of determination. The liners are designed
to fit tightly along the track of the pool. If it is not tight, it is
likely that changes need to be made. What you will want to do is get
a heat gun or a blow dryer to make the vinyl a bit more flexible and
then simply tug and pull the vinyl into the place where it needs to
be. The process is simple, but actually doing it can be difficult.
• Losing color – Much like the hair of those who have reached
middle age, the color of the vinyl pool liner tends to lose some of
its luster after a while as well. The two main factors that contribute
to this loss of color are the chemicals inside of the pool and the sun.
Either of these items by themselves could do damage but when they are
working together even more damage is possible. If you see this color

have is old. More recent updates on how these liners are constructed
have made this fading much less significant.
Knowing the issues that can come with owning a vinyl pool liner can
significantly help a person know how to care for the rest of his pool
as well.
