    If you don't mind I'm going to use your video for customers to Reference to for info on vinyl liners.
    I'm in Connecticut right now day after Thanksgiving. Her pool had leaked for two years now. They get it up and running for about a month toping off with the hose. Then pump is shut off and water level drops to around first step.
    Now I'm explaining why I would not recommend removing solar cover. Liner is brittle and might Shatter

    Draining your vinyl lined pool is a set up for trouble. Believe this; one of my kids poked a hole in the bottom of our above ground pool years ago. The guy at Lesl** Pool supply sold me on a patch product, but instructed me to “drain the pool for best results”. Not knowing any different, I did just that. Patch complete and let it set up till the next day and refill. About 2/3 full, the liner pulled away. I blamed the kids for getting in and climbing out with their feet against the sides. Drain again and repeat. Yep, liner separated from the top deck channel again. Went back to the pool supply and asked the same counter person why this was happening. Once he discovered his error on instructing me, he forked over a new $130 liner. This was in 1988.

    Good info! Just moved into a house with an above ground pool. Opened it this summer and the water is clear but the liner seems to be stained, giving the water a light green tint. I tried using a magic eraser on a small section which took the green off but wasn’t sure if this was safe for the vinyl.

    Hi I just found your video searching for something similar to your waterline cleaning. I have an intex ultra xtr above ground pool and this is the 4th summer. I don’t take it down because it feels like it would damage the liner trying to fold it up and restretch it the following year and I have a friend who said it was to difficult. So there it stays and has been great. But this year I have noticed the liner on the rail seems dry and the cover has put a slight bit of wear on it because as it rubbed against the liner on the rail over the winter months and the weight of the snow you can now start to see the think white threads ever so slightly in some places on the front side where it gets the most wind. So I thought maybe there’s something out there to keep the liner soft that’s not in the water to help it last longer. It would be a shame if the liner fall apart at the rail and it can’t be held up any more. So how do I fix this? You talked about the waterline vinyl cleaner and dry rot. Can this possibly be something I can use on all liner areas outside of the water like the rail and have it help keep it healthier?
    Also I’m thinking the pool cover is a bad idea now do you have thought in a leaf net through fall and then just leave it uncovered all winter so that there’s no cover rubbing on the liner in the rail ?
    Thanks for your video and help! Hope to hear from you! Oh BTW I’m in Plymouth Massachusetts if that matters.

      Yes, using a vinyl cleaner will help preserve and add life to the vinyl liner in your pool. Covering the pool can also help but it is not needed, keeping your vinyl clean especially above the water line is key. Remember, keeping your water properly balanced (chemicals) is also very important in the life of your liner as well. Thanks for watching.

    • @HallmarkPoolSupplies

      Most liners are 20 to 27 gauge/mil, and they all can last about the same. Chemicals and house keeping plays a huge role in the life. In chlorine pools, a liner can last 10 to 12 years on average, In salt pools, a liner can last 6 to 8 years on average and in baquacil pools, a liner can last 15 to 20 years on average. Keeping the water balanced and cleaning the water line will help extend the life of a liner. Thanks for watching.

Mind you these holes are only on one side of my pool not the whole thing and I do clean 2-3 times a week. Or would a bristle brush left in the sun last summer be the culprit? I am leaning towards the plastic bristle brush when I had an algae issue last summer.

      The E10 cleaner is made for above ground pools and is safe, the pin holes you are referring to may be from the brush.

    I tried a regular scotch pad sponge in a very small area and it immediately started to remove the water line scum but also scratched the image off the liner which would ruin the entire liner if you got in a hurry and didn’t look closely enough to notice this. I’d rather do it every month with a plain sponge and not rub too hard and keep it cleaner longer and not have to worry rather than ending up with a scratched up liner that looks bad and cuts down the life of it.
    Chemistry, IMO is the main key to long use out of a liner, high chlorine being the worst factor. I go easy on the shock after opening except for during a bad algae bloom for a day. I’m replacing mine in the spring due to the age and a couple of splits that will spread and finish it off over the winter. The first replacement was at 10 seasons and this, the second one is after 12 seasons. Our pool is exposed to all elements including full sun 8-10 hours a day when it IS sunny and I keep a solar cover on it when not in use, which is seldom. We see 90s and full sun probably 30 + days a season and it’s heated often in the evenings for maybe 5-8 hours a week. In winter I keep a black algae cover cut to fit and a mesh safety cover on it and blow out and close the whole system without lowering the water level at all.

    • @HallmarkPoolSupplies
      @HallmarkPoolSupplies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would not drain the pool, but you can lower the water and leave at least 1’ in the shallow end. This way you might be able to work it out because there will be less pressure on the liner, but enough water to hold the liner in place. If the liner is not to old you have a good chance that you can fix it, however age and the type of chemicals you use in the pool will play a big part in your success. Thanks for watching.

      There are a lot of different filter systems out there, most of these pools come with a cartridge filter system. If you replace with a sand system it will be much better than what comes with the pool, however some of these systems can cost more than the pool. You can go to the manufacturer’s website and research some of the different systems, there are also aftermarket systems that can also work with your pool, it depends on how much you want to spend.

    • @HallmarkPoolSupplies
      @HallmarkPoolSupplies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Keeping your water balanced will prevent this in the future. You can use baking soda and white vinegar to clean and remove calcium build up. Take 2 to 3 parts of baking soda to 1 part white vinegar and make a paste. Apply on the surface and let it set, after awhile you should be able to remove the build up, you may have to repeat more than once depending on the amount of build up. You can also wipe down with just vinegar, once you have removed most of the build up. Thanks for watching.

      This could be several different things, without a water sample its hard to say. It sounds like you could have mustard algae, if so you may need to treat the pool for mustard algae.When a pool has mustard algae, once treated you have to vacuum the pool to waste or the algae will just keep coming back. When vacuuming to waste you will have add water to the pool.

      Vacuum to waste, treat it for the algae afterward.

    I am a service tech for jacuzzi and have more customers than anybody in the world that does what I do. My friend has a tear in his liner and I can’t find my patches. Basically scraps of all the different patterns like you showed in the video. I need some scraps bad and no pool stores in the area want to help. It’s been all hot tubs for me since 2018 but maybe you can help

    Hi Mark, thank you for your video, I have some concrete sealer that is unfortunately stuck to my water line from the concrete company, it’s been 4 years now and I can’t get it off . I was thinking after seeing your video that I could try to buy the vinyl cleaner you were using and attempt that but I’m sure it’s not going to remove the areas of sealer that are bad . I was wondering if you think I could place a patch over the unsightly areas to cover it ? Can you help me match my liner ? If so how do I contact you? Thank you

    The one thing he did not mention to prolong the life of your final liner is to not have Shockett added in quantity that it sinks to the bottom and makes contact with your liner. Best to use a fast dissolving shock it and add it very slowly

    We have an inground pool that requires a liner. Previous owners pulled the liner, now there is a significant leak into the pool through a crack in the concrete.
    What is the best method to repair the crack? We have been told it is not necessary, but the water flows in constantly. I want to repair the pool and get it working.

      Without seeing the severity of the damage it is hard to say. You can also remove the section of deck and replace. If you would like to email some pictures I will be glad to take a look. Our email is on our website.

    Mark,
    I am a 1st year pool owner. Above ground 28ft pool.
    I did not use a pool pillow for my pool cover and while attempting to remove the pool cover some of that residual water and leaves got into my clear pool water turning it brown. I’m worried I will not be able to get the water back clear, will that be a issue upon opening my pool up this weekend and cleaning it up? Please help

    • @HallmarkPoolSupplies
      @HallmarkPoolSupplies  ปีที่แล้ว

      Take your water to your local pool store and have it tested, then you can chemical treat and vacuum your pool once it clears. It is a little upsetting when something like this happens but you will be fine.

    The biggest mistake in pool ownership is spending big bucks at a pool store on supplies that can be bought elsewhere for much cheaper. Pool cleaners are just other products rebranded, pool chemicals are mostly the same. If it says it's for your pool it's marked up 1000%.
