Vinyl liners for in-ground pools tend to last 8 to 12 years, on average, although some might require replacement after just 5 years and others will make it to 15 or 20. For above-ground pools, which are more exposed, plan on 6 to 10 years.<\/p>\n
Why such variation in lifespan? Well, there are many factors that affect how long a liner will last, including the quality of the liner, sun exposure, how often the pool is used, how well it has been maintained and where you live. Maintenance is among the most important. <\/p>\n
People who buy a high-quality liner and are meticulous about maintenance might get 20 years or more out of a pool liner. That\u2019s rare, but it does happen. Here are some tips to maximize the liner\u2019s lifespan:<\/p>\n
Most vinyl pool liners come with warranties, but it\u2019s important to read the fine print. In many cases, the warranties are prorated after the first few years, meaning they lose value every year. Your 25-year warranty, for example, might only cover 10 percent of the replacement cost after the first 8 years. It might not cover installation costs at all, even in the early years.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re shopping for a new vinyl later, pay attention to the terms of the warranty. Higher-quality liners cost more upfront, but they tend to come with better warranties. <\/p>\n
