so my vinyl liner got a 3 foot long tear in it a week or so ago

my pool is about 20 years old and i'm on my 3rd liner.  

should i just get anther liner or is there any newer technologies out there that might work.  a buddy said they have "spray in" liner material thats better but i know nothing about the latest stuff out there.

any suggestions?

Hmmm,  a liner should last 10-15 years. Could there be a chemical imbalance in the water degrading the liner? Are the liners breaking in the same spot? There may be something on the panels cutting the liner.




I haven't come across a "spray liner" but I have seen liner pools fiber glassed. Probably expensive though.


I would go for a thicker liner and better backing padding.

+1  Is the liner tearing on the seam

Do you have a standard size pool or custom. pictures would help with measurements?

what type of floor sand or a pool base product [hard]

To bad your in GA  could use some side work
