You shouldn’t install a new vinyl pool liner on top of an old liner as it can cause problems. For instance, once you drain your pool to install the new liner, the existing liner can dry out and become brittle. This can lead to deterioration that affects the condition of the new liner. Other types of pool liners can go directly over old liners safely, but you should always defer to a professional for the best course of action.

You’ll know when it’s time to replace your pool liner because there will be visible cracking, tearing, fading, and/or staining. You may also notice that your pool liner has lost some elasticity, and it may even start to leak. It’s a good idea to call in a pool repair professional to see if a repair is possible and worthwhile. If it is, you might spend a few hundred dollars and get many more years of enjoyment out of your pool rather than spending thousands on a full replacement.

While you should avoid draining an above ground pool on a regular basis, it may be necessary if you are experiencing common signs of major pool problems. When you fully drain your pool, do so slowly with the proper equipment and always avoid draining on a very hot day. In many cases, the pool liner and equipment depend on the cooling effect of the water.
