Where to Purchase an Esther Williams Pool Liner?

[dpmsrm03]

I purchased a used Esther Williams 27' 2004 vintage above ground pool and am looking for advice on websites selling liners and possbily were to purchase replacement bottom track as most of it was rotted.

Thanks

I don't have a good suggestion for you, but maybe someone will. I recently replace my pool, but ordered my liner through my local pool company. I like having somebody local to go back to if there is a problem. There may be some other members who have bought liners online who can make a suggestion for you, though.

Is this your first pool!

I put in a used 27" EW last year. I remember there were several online vendors of EW liners but I wanted to have a deep middle. Since I couldn't find an expandable EW liner I decided to convert to an overlap liner. It wasn't particularly difficult but the EW wall edge with the top rail installed is almost an inch wide so I couldn't use standard pool coping. Instead I used Vinyl siding "J Channel" from Lowes. This is the end capping use for vinyl siding when the side meets an inside corner. I found that the channel width is perfect for use as a coping strip for installing an overlap pool liner in my EW pool. It snaps perfectly over the top rail and holds the liner nicely. I just had to cut off the nail tab with a razor knife. I also used a couple of layers of heavy duty duct tape over the original EW liner holder so the liner wouldn't abrade against it. Now I've got a "doughnut" pool with a wide 44" deep outer ring and 58" deep middle. Works great.

I also had several sections of rotted bottom track. I went to Lowes and picked up 1" aluminum right angle and with some creative notching you can curve it. I sprayed it with car undercoating for protection.

For patching panel corrosion use aluminum sheet metal from Lowes. In addition I repainted the entire pool using Rustoleum latex aluminum primer and then Rustoleum indurial oil enamel. Pool looks brand new.

The downside, like any overlap pool, is that I will now have to take off the top pool rails when I eventually have to replace the liner.
