When Should You Replace Your Above-Ground Pool Liner?

Pool liners don't last forever. Here are the most common warning signs that it might be time to schedule a liner replacement for your above-ground pool.

Wrinkles that won't smooth out

Some wrinkles are normal early on, but liners that keep wrinkling or pulling away can mean the liner has stretched, shifted, or is at the end of its life.

Fading, cracking, and brittleness

Heavy fading and brittle spots - especially near the waterline - are a sign the liner is breaking down. Once it cracks, leaks aren't far behind.

Stains, slow leaks, and water loss

Stubborn stains and unexplained water loss usually point to liner issues. Catching this early can save the base and the pool itself.
