Hello all
I have a 20 x 40 inground pool,its about 15 year old and last year i had my liner replaced with a 28 mil liner
What a nightmare trying to get these guys to come back to finish, and always sent someone different.
Anyway once they ripped out the old liner they said i needed a new floor extra money of course(to me the floor looked good nice and smooth made of sand and portland except for some small holes and dents) by the way i video taped it just in case.
Ok they redid the floor with a thin coat of vermiculite and the new liner went in,water was in and cleaned.then went in for a swim and found
many rocks under the liner
And when i turned on the light in the pool i found many surprises,really bad troweling job,many large foot prints,holes.
I also noticed that now only the deep end of the pool and the slope lights up,the shallow end floor is not lit up but the shallow end walls and stairs is
lit up,there is light there but not the floor,i tried ajusting the lens but no luck.(The whole pool lit up before the new liner was replaced)
I also noticed in the shallow end of the pool where the walls and floors meet the liner does not touch the floor,meaning
if you put your feet between the corner of the floors and walls and push down it feels like a balloon so a am afraid of vacuming and puncturing it
I called them up and they said this is normal
After many calls i made they said they will put in another liner and fix all of the problems
so they came once the swiming season was over and put in another new liner.
Ok opened the pool about one month ago and flloor is a little better and no footprints,holes or rocks,
but the corner of the floors and walls are still the same and now theres a small tear on the seam by the bead that goes into the track.
And the Shallow end floor still does'nt light up but the shallow end walls and stairs do(Is it possible alternations to the floor would cause this?)
The liner that came in the box,had the measurements of walls 38 inches and the deep end 7 feet 8 inches
My my pool measures walls are 40" and the deep end measures 8 feet which i just measured,also i had 2 other estimates which
had also measured 40 inches walls and 8 feet deep(It seems that the liner that they put in is too small for my pool,can a 28 mil liner strech that much?)
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Tony
