My vinyl liner swimming pool is getting hard and wrinkly in certain areas, what is causing this?
Chances are that your pool liner is being affected by the chemicals used in it’s maintenance. Inground vinyl liners are susceptible to chemical damage if the chemicals are not being added appropriately. Whenever adding chemicals to a vinyl liner pool, make sure that the circulation equipment is on, including the main drain if you have one. With the water circulating and not pouring chemicals all into one area, you can avoid chemicals sinking to the bottom of the pool in large concentrations. The problem with most chemicals is that they tend to sink to the bottom and “sit” on the vinyl pool liner causing serious damage (chemical burn). This is why circulation and light, spread out dispursal is the best method. Also remember to avoid using pellet type chemicals like chlorine solids unless using the appropriate floating dispurser. If this sounds like too much work, we always recommend the use of a pool service professional who has experience with inground vinyl liner pools.
