Common Vinyl issues

Below are some examples of common issues that can arise in vinyl pool surfaces over time.

Fading – Weathering

Vinyl is susceptible to extreme UV and chemical damage that will leave a very noticeable mark around the pool’s water-line. This can also cause brittleness and cracking to occur when left untreated.

Rips & Tearing

Due to the inevitable breakdown of vinyl pool surfaces over time, you can expect the surface to become susceptible to rips and tears from general use.

Water Leaks

Caused by movement between the liner and surface fittings, water leaks are common amongst vinyl pool owners. These leaks are usually caused by the breakdown of silicones used to bond the vinyl to the concrete beneath. They are particularly bad for the integrity of the pool below the liner, causing rust and damage to the concrete surface.
