Need reccomendation for new liner !

I really like your idea of a darker color under water and the benefits it could bring. My last liner patterns and colors bleached completely out to a very light blue over just 4 or 5 summers. I'm not sure if that is normal or not for these things. I am only 4 years into ownership of my first pool. Maybe WaterMom can shed some light on this, I would love to here her thought on your ideas. Also maybe we will get PoolDoc to join in this topic on a source and brand of good liner options that will also benefit the website !

I am also curious to if we could in my 30' round....add a large pump, to my current set up, that I can turn on when I am in the pool and want to float in a circle with water speed like I am going down a slow river?

EX.... the Comal in the hill country...



Anybody ever looked at that idea?

Coj79 that's a interesting idea. You might want to start a separate tread with something like "HOMEMADE LAZY RIVER" in the topic . It will most likely get overlooked in this thread on a different subject!

Sorry, Heavyhook, for adding to the thread highjack.

How about removing the eyeball and threading in a 90 degree 1-1/2" NPT x 3/4" hose barb?

I'm not sure how much extra heat would be retained by having a dark liner. Personally, I think a lighter blue seems more refreshing visually.

Regarding your liner bleaching out so much --- what were you using to chlorinate with and how were you adding it?
