They are usually light blue, giving the pool the appearance of an impossibly clean lagoon or mountain lake. These liners do not last forever, although they often come with a warranty of 25 or 30 years. Such warranties on pool liners sound too good to be true, and this often turns out to be the case, when pool owners try to get their liners replaced after eight years or so and find out that the fine print says that the full warranty only lasts for seven years. |

It doesn’t even make sense for a vinyl pool liner to last 25 years, when many above ground pools only last up to fifteen years, and many in-ground pools need major renovations after 20 years. You can realistically expect a vinyl liner to last between six and ten years for an above ground pool and between five and twelve years for an in-ground pool. Another problem with vinyl pool liner warranties is that they often do not cover the cost of refilling the pool with water after the new liner is installed.
The same chemicals you put the into the pool water to make it safe for swimming also wear out the vinyl pool liner over time. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can also wear out your pool liner. The first signs of vinyl pool liner deterioration are primarily aesthetic concerns, but keeping a seriously worn out liner in your pool can become a safety hazard. Cracks or tears can form in the pool liner, and water can leak through them. It is possible to patch small cracks, but eventually they become so big and so numerous that you cannot patch them, and the only choice is to replace the pool liner. The first sign of aging that your pool liner may show is fading. While a faded pool liner may not seem like a big deal, since it does not stop you from swimming laps or your kids from having fun playing Marco Polo, it is actually the first sign that your pool liner is becoming brittle and vulnerable to cracks and leaks. Vinyl pool liners gradually lose their elasticity, and you might notice that your pool liner is losing its elasticity when its top edge keeps slipping out of its track. Again, this first may seem just like a cosmetic problem, but it can cause your pool to lose water.
