Above Ground Liner Rehang Hint
If you are changing your above ground pool’s liner, we offer a step-by-step guide to do it right. Go to: http://www.eastgatepools.com/tips/linerinstall.htm
BIG HINT: If you have a sand base under the liner, make sure you compress the sand thoroughly on the coves. If you don’t, you will get little pieces of sand roll up between the liner and the wall when the cove compacts from the weight of the water. These pieces are then trapped, and when you vacuum the pool, the vac head brushes up against the liner and trapped sand. This causes tiny pinholes that will ultimately lead to rust and wall failure. Pack that sand. The last step should be to wash down the inside wall. Make sure to attach the spray nozzle so that you have a gentle stream of water, not a full blast that would wash the sand away. –Max

Make Sure You Know Your Pool’s Size
Believe it or not, the number one problem people have when they go to change out their above ground pool liner is….they don’t know their pool’s size. Years ago I installed pools and did liner rehangs. I had one job where I went to change the liner in a 15 x 30 above ground and found out that the pool was actually a 15 x 25. The pool owner had gotten it into his head that he had a 15 x 30 and was shocked to find out his pool had actually shrank. This happens several times a year and it is common for people that move into a home with an existing pool. Before you buy a liner for a pool, measure the pool. If it is a round pool, measure from 12 to 6 and from 3 to 9 (like on the face of a clock). For an oval pool, measure the total length and the side’s width where the water wall is, not to the out riggers. We also need the height of the wall. You may be surprised to find that you have a pool that is different in size from what you thought it was. It might also save you a lot of money! If you have questions, don’t guess. Give us a call and we will be happy to help you. –Max
