In Texas, the liner for all in-ground pools is vital for keeping the pool watertight and clean. The color of the liner also affects the temperature of the pool during daylight hours. When the pool liner is damaged, pool repair in Pearland is performed quickly.
Replacing a Vinyl Swimming Pool Liner
Elemental exposure and deterioration are the most common causes for vinyl pool liner replacements. The process begins by draining the pool completely. The technician needs the exact measurements for the liner before acquiring the new liner. Next, they remove the old liner and inspect the pool walls. Any evidence of rust requires an application of rust paint. Galvanized steel is highly recommended for these purposes.
Inspect the Flooring, Install Hardware, and Hang the Liner
Next, they inspect the flooring for cracks by applying water with a hose. All flooring damaged is repaired first. Next, they wash out the pool and sweep out any large debris. All screws and gaskets are replaced and positioned for the new liner. All seams and coping are taped securely. The technician begins to hang the liner after the tape is secure.
Eliminate All Air Pockets
A vacuum is attached to the skimmer behind the liner to remove all air pockets. The liner is smoothed against the wall and secured as the air is removed from each section. The technician evaluates the liner installation to make sure there aren’t any wrinkles, as they lead to damage.
Cut Out Spaces for the Drain and Skimmer
They begin to add water to define the location of the drains. Typically, the drain is visible after the pool is filled twelve inches in the deep end and eighteen inches at the shallow end. Next, they remove the vacuum and install gaskets for the return. They replace the faceplates for these fixtures. The pool is filled to the skimmer. The gaskets for the skimmer and faceplates are installed over the liner. They fill the pool to the halfway point and engage the filtration system. The final step is to shock the pool with chlorine.
