    Sorry, missed the question, so very late reply. 90% liquid chlorine, mainly calcium chloride and mainly at the beginning before finding this forum.

    Late to this thread. If you're still interested in data points, here's mine:
    + 7 year old vinyl liner
    + have never added calcium
    + fill water has 52 mg CaCO3/L
    + pH 7.5
    + CYA 50 ppm
    + use 12% LC and trichlor

    No damage, no wrinkles, nothing adverse to report regarding the liner. Some fading from sunlight - the area covered by the steps is darker than the rest of the pool.
