We are in the process of doing jsut that. We are replacing the liner and bottom of pool. We have the vermiculite bottom. We filled in the deep end of pool, due to water shortages, and are now trying to decide which liner to buy. I don't know anything about the sand bottoms but our bottom fell apart when we took the liner out. Hope this helps
If it's not ripped, there should be a white platic strip at the rdge of the liner. This strip bimply pops in around the edge of your pool. Make sure to vaccuum out any air! They are expensive to replace...
Vinyl liner patch kit are available at pool dealers and at stores like Walmart. They usually consist of some clear vinyl and some liquid glue. The best thing is to use vinyl that matches your pool liner. I always save scraps when new liner is installed. First trim the patch to cover the hole. A round or oval patch works best since there are no corners to peel off. Next clean the place to be patched. Then cover the back of the patch with glue. If the tear is under water fold the patch together with the glue on the inside. Next open the patch and place it over the tear and press the air out starting from the center working outward. If the tear is deep under water you may need to find a diver.
we just did it. remove the top lip and pour boiling water over the liner to soften then pull it back up into its proper place and replace the lip. done
Pool supply stores carry patch kits that you can place on the liner underwater. They are cheap and work pretty good
hope this helps!
That depends on what is wrong with it. If the missing liner is the problem sort out who the manufacturer is and get a new one.
