Water color with different liners--vinyl pool.

16 years ago

I did a search here before posting this and saw some nice colors with different liners. I am really having a hard time deciding on a liner for our pool. I like the color of the water with the "Caribbean Blue" pebble tec on the gunite pools.

Would this liner give me the water color that I am after? Whar color would the water appear as with this liner?

Thanks!

A gray liner such as the one you are considering would give you a steel blue color. I'm not familiar with the Caribean Blue Pebbletec, so I can't comment.

I have the Medievil tile mist liner and our pool water is a caribbean blue color.We also chose gray components to our pool such as the steps and the skimmer and drain cover.

Hi Have grown WH since the early eighties. But still learning about them lol. I redid a pond in March due to an invasion of strangler fig and marshmallow which has run continuously since 1982 . The pool is above ground, heated 5x10 x3 deep. I refilled on March 6 and put 5 WH .On April 15 I removed 25 plants and yesterday removed 125 !! Is that an astounding rate of growth ?? lol Have often noticed this growth before but have never kept track. The first flower occured on June 3 and now 25 are in flower . To my knowledge there are at least 5 subspecies or species of the genus but have no idea how to tell them apart. One question that others might know the answer to ?? Have you ever had them produce viable seed.?? Have maintained two ponds about 15 feet apart for many years yet have never had them move on their own . All those flowers there has got to be some seeds in there !!!lol gary

Yay for you! That's what's known as keeping at shock level - shocking is not just dumping chlorine in the pool and walking away. You have to keep at it until the chlorine overtakes the organics and the chlorine can get ahead and maintain. (hence, doing it every hour). We will be bringing our pool back from green after a horrific hail storm/wind storm on Tuesday. Stocked up with 11 1.5 gallon bottles of bleach to work on that this weekend. Sun and organics eat chlorine. So best to add just after sundown (like you did before bed), it will work more effectively (last longer and work longer before it will degrade due to sunligh), and clean organics (leaves, etc) out of the pool so chlorine isn't working on them and can sanitize the water. We scooped bags and bags of leaves out of the pool yesterday and today. No use pouring six bottles of chlorine in if there is that many leaves, IMHO.

Brushing a pool-Does it make a difference?
Q

And extending on what Lindsey said, buy a small round corner brush to attach to your pole, to get the plaster dust out of the crevices around benches, steps, etc, where the large brush can't reach. It makes a huge difference. I had one for my spa (when it was curing for the 2nd and third time) but not one for the pool. In those crevices by the pool steps that the big brush couldn't get to very well there is white buildup that does not come off now. It's plaster dust that's cured into the finish. All of the crevices in the spa are dust-free and super-smooth thanks to that little corner brush. The first week or so (while the water is clearing) it's critical to brush every time you think about it. After that, once a week is fine. Those first few days, the more you brush, the nicer your plaster will be for the long-term.

Your pool should be bonded - everything metal in or near the pool and system needs to have a heavy gage bare copper wire connected to it. It is called equipotential bonding. You also need to ground that bonding wire to the main electrical panel ground in your house. This is called grounding. In tandem they work to protect your pool from galvanic corrosion as well as prevent dangers from voltages in or around the pool. When built the pool should have included a bonding wire to the equipment pad for the pump and heater plus any other equipment such as control panel boxes. It is possible your pool builder did bond the pool but neglected to bring it over to the equipment pad. It is also possible that you don't have a bonding grid at all since many pool builders do not really understand the difference between bonding and grounding. Here is a Linkedin article I wrote about understanding the difference between bonding and grounding: The difference between bonding and grounding as it applies to swimming pools To help you resolve this problem you should bring in an electrician to test for continuity of your system as well as search for the existing bonding wire.

Thanks gals for the help. This picture (link) I posted is actually kind of off on the monitor. The liner I linked is truly more of a tan color than gray. I wish I could find a better picture. Does anyone know what color the water would be with a tan colored liner.

Georgiapoollover--I am seriously considering the same liner you chose. The tile color doesn't go very well with my house (sounds silly huh?), but I love how the gray walls make your water look.

This is an absurdly difficult decision :-)

Thanks!

Hello,

Just as an FYI, I just completed this agonizing process. And found out just before ordering the liner I had FINALLY chosen that some liners come with white above the tile instead of the floor color. So, I had to start all over with a smaller number of choices. Make sure you ask before ordering if the liner you are choosing has white above the tile! I know of four in the Merlin book that do. Hope this helps.
