# Vinyl liner pool

A vinyl liner pool is a pool with a sheet of vinyl stretched over a wall frame and a sand or concrete floor.

The liner is the water barrier. It is smooth and gentle on feet, and it lets owners skip plaster. Liners can fade, wrinkle, or tear, and most need replacement after some years.

Signs of trouble: wrinkles, floating liner, small holes, or a pool that drops water fast. Sharp objects, rough brushes, and unbalanced chemistry can shorten life. Chlorine tablets sitting on the floor can bleach spots. Check the maker's care guide before you use a vacuum head or brush.
