Gorilla Pad

Hey Folks,

I was on here a couple years ago but could not remember my screen name....

I'm going to replacing my liner this month.... I have a resin pool which I purchased about 15 years ago. The place i bought it is still in business and the tell me it is an Ulusion and gave me a Luvari Liner brochure. The relacement liner in a solona / blue marble pattern for my 24' is 560.00. I was wondering if 1) I can buy this any where else....thought the 560 was pretty expensive. and 2) was wondering if that gorrila pad is worth the money or if there is something else that can be used? Will the gorilla pad eliminate the need for a new sand base?

Thanks for the help!

Bob
