Removable pool liners

A good way to make your above ground pool look much safer and more elegant is to use a so-called liner. In simple terms, this is a kind of tarpaulin made of a special waterproof material that keeps your above ground pool safe when in use, while also adding much more aesthetic appeal than usual.

There are many things to know before buying a removable pool liner, which is why it is necessary to review both the types of liner and the best brands and prices that we can offer you at Quimipool.

Characteristics and types

The liner is that special material that covers the inside of the pool and is made of PVC, thus possessing outstanding characteristics such as:

• Flexibility.
• Impermeability.
• Resistance to protect the pool.

As far as types of liner for removable pools are concerned, it can be said that they vary depending on the size and colour, making it only necessary to know the dimensions of the pool so that you can choose the type of liner that will work best for you. However, there are two types of liner systems worth mentioning:

1. The hanging liner system, where the plastic liner is attached directly to the overlap of the pool by means of a steel sheet reinforcement. This reinforcement is usually made of a double layer of PVC.
2. The Liner Overlap system, where the liner is totally adhered to the surface of the pool, being only necessary that you help yourself with some tweezers so that you can make a correct installation of the liner inside the pool.

The best brand of liner for removable pools

In this part of the swimming pool market there is only one brand that stands out from the rest when it comes to liners. This is the swimming pool brand Gre, specialists in a wide variety of accessories for removable swimming pools that also have an extensive catalogue of liners that vary in terms of size and, therefore, prices.

The liners of this brand are usually navy blue in colour to blend in perfectly with the water and the pool in general, and are practically obligatory if you have a removable pool Gre in your home. Examples of this are as follows:

• The Gre blue 300x120 centimetre pool liner, with a thickness of 40/100.
• The pool liner Gre blue 300x65 centimetres, thickness 20/100.
• The pool liner Gre Gresite D 550x132 centimetres, with a thickness of 50/100.

Installation

Although pool liner is very easy to lay, this does not mean that it is a material that can be treated like anything else. Great care must be taken when installing a removable pool liner, which is why it is recommended to follow the installation steps:

1. Thoroughly clean the entire surface on which the pool liner will be placed.
2. Without dragging it, spread the liner along the inside of the pool, carrying out this action completely barefoot to avoid scratching the material.
3. Finally, once in place, fill the pool with water so that you can eliminate wrinkles and stretch the liner correctly in the pool.

If you are talking about a liner with an Overlap system for pools, the only thing you have to do is skip the last step, as this system is based on stretching the material on its own and cutting the excess.

It is recommended that you install the removable pool liner on a fairly sunny day.

Maintenance of the removable pool liner

To preserve the lifespan of any liner you decide to purchase, you will first need to use a non-aggressive, non-acidic liner cleaner so that you don't discolour the material while deteriorating its thickness and flexibility.

In the same way as mentioned above, it must be understood that the pool water must be in optimum conditions to keep the liner in good condition, as any unsuitable material in the pool could have a direct impact on this PVC layer.

Finally, for an optimal care of the pool liner, it is necessary to be aware of the pH of the water and correct it if necessary, so that this imbalance does not affect your physical integrity or that of the liner in particular.

Prices

The last thing you need to know about removable pool liners is the price. Although it may not seem like it, it can range from 50 to 800 euros, varying both by the thickness of the material and the size of the same.
