Should your pool’s vinyl liner be replaced? It’s a question the swimming pool service contractors from SwimRight Pool Service and Repair in Scottsdale, Arizona get asked quite regularly when they are servicing and maintaining a customer’s pool.
To take a step back, especially if you’re new to pool ownership, you should know that there are three building materials you can choose from for your pool and they are:
- Concrete
- Fiberglass
- Vinyl liner
Should your pool’s vinyl liner be replaced?
When you’re having your pool constructed that is one of the first decisions you will make — what to have the pool constructed from. There are pros and cons to each and for many the cost of the pool will play a significant role. Concrete is the most expensive, followed by fiberglass and then vinyl liner is the least expensive option.
When we are at a customer’s house cleaning the pool we check the pool itself to make certain there are no leaks or cracks — regardless of the pool construction material.
A pool that is well cared for — no matter if it’s concrete, fiberglass or vinyl liner — will last for decades. A vinyl liner, in particular, can last up to a decade or more if the chemicals are kept properly balanced.
Pool liner manufacturers offer guarantees on the vinyl liner (as they do other construction materials) but weather, chemistry and the way in which you use the pool can play a role in its lifespan. Understand the nuances and unique characteristics of each type of construction material before you take the plunge. Then find a pool service contractor who is experienced in caring for the type pool you have and you will be swimming for years!
