Why Do Pool Liners Fail?
Although there are various reasons a liner can fail, by far the most common cause (about 80 to 90%) of swimming pool liner failures occur Above the Waterline. This is due to the afternoon sun reflecting across the top of the water & hitting the far side of the pool wall. When this happens, the ultra-violet (UV) rays are actually reflected and “Fry” the liner above the waterline as that portion of the swimming pool liner is not water-cooled.
