简中A Vinyl Swimming Pool Liner is a custom made sheet of material that overlays the walls and floor of a swimming pool. It locks into a metal piece called coping and covers the entire pool structure.The liner is usually colored or patterned to match the pool, and varies in thickness. The thicker liners typically last longer than the thin ones.Vinyl liners are generally not recommended for families with pets, as they can easily tear or puncture. This can lead to leaks and damage to the pool.
Some types of bacteria and fungi can actually penetrate the vinyl surface and cause stains. They appear as dark areas on the surface, and may be difficult to remove with chemicals.Trichlor Chlorine tends to suppress pH, which is great if you have a plaster pool, but it can also be problematic for vinyl liners. It takes time for the water to raise pH back up, and the vinyl surface is a good place for the chlorine to be absorbed.
In my experience, using gas chlorine a lot (especially if it is added weekly) can speed up the fading of a vinyl pool liner. This is because gas chlorine will spike the chlorine level much higher than a regular amount of liquid chlorine. This could result in a lot of fading, especially if there are low pH conditions.Keeping the right balance of chemicals in the pool will help prolong the life of a vinyl pool liner. It is also best to keep the pool covered during the winter months, which will reduce exposure to the harsh elements.
Vinyl swimming pool liners can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, depending on how well they are maintained and the amount of wear and tear they receive. To prolong the life of your vinyl pool liner, here are some tips:Keep the water chemistry balanced: Properly balanced water chemistry helps to prevent the growth of algae and other harmful bacteria, which can damage the liner. Test the water regularly and adjust the pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels as needed.
Avoid sharp objects: Keep sharp objects like toys, tools, and even pets away from the pool. Sharp objects can puncture or tear the liner, causing leaks and damage.Clean the pool regularly: Dirt and debris can cause abrasions and wear on the liner, so it's important to keep the pool clean. Use a pool vacuum or net to remove leaves, bugs, and other debris, and scrub the sides and bottom of the pool to remove any buildup.Use a pool cover: A pool cover helps to keep debris out of the pool and protect the liner from the sun's UV rays. It also helps to reduce water evaporation and chemical use, which can save you money on maintenance.
