Pool renovation - new liner

[Chris.rago64]

Hi all! Today I woke up to a bit of a surprise, my pool builder called saying they were on their way with my new liner!

How did this happen? I ordered it a few weeks ago, but while on vacation last week I apparently missed their call letting me know they were coming today!

Here's hoping that's the ONLY surprise of the day

I'll start off with some before shots, and hopefully by end of day today I'll have some nice photos for what it looks like all completed.

Almost empty! My yard seems to be handling the 22k gallons pretty well

Out with the old .. they are going to do a little clean up and then.. In with the new!

Ive had worse surprises so you’re in good shape! Looking great so far! Good luck with the rest!

Just curious how long your liner lasted before relaxing today?

 

[Chris.rago64]

I think the pool was built in 2008, and it's original. We bought the house earlier this year and it had a pretty significant tear in it. If not for that tear, I'd say it probably would've lasted a while longer.

The first truck has arrived, but they definitely aren't ready!

Unsolicited advice, don’t let them rush to get the liner in just so the truck can start pumping. Would hate for a wrinkle to be there somewhere because they were trying to get the truck back on the road.

Thanks! I don't think they are. They are still working on it. The truck driver is very patiently waiting too. It's starting to look real nice.

What a day! With the last water truck just packing up, this story comes to a close.

Thanks for tuning in!

It looks really nice. Now, it's time to get the water balanced correctly.

Looks great, very cool!

Yep! I'm going to on run the pump for 24 hours before I start testing and balancing.

I will promptly throw the sample bottle in the trash from the builder and rely on my own testing like I did all summer long following TFPC methodology.

They come back to close the pool in a couple weeks. I need to read up on if there's anything I need to do different with the chemistry before the closing.

Looks like the liner was an excellent fit...... unlike some other poor folks whose liners were all wrinkled up!
