Step bowed in vinyl liner pool

[Ken_J]

Just wanted to provide an update. A couple weeks ago the the company that installed the steps and line back in 2005 sent out an installer to take a look. He was dumbfounded and basically said that they have been using these steps in pools for over 15 years without incident. He took pictures and left. A couple days later we got a call from the owner saying that he, too, had never seen anything like and that he and a representative from the manufacturerwould be out to see it. Well they came out last week and the manufacturer has agreed to provide new steps and a new liner at no cost. I just have to pay the labor to install them.....works out to $250 per year that we've had the current steps/liner. They are going to do the work after 8/12 so I'll report back then.

Thanks for the update, Ken!

Any chance of snapping a pic of the steps without the liner on them?

I hope the step and liner replacement go quickly so you can enjoy the pool as much as possible before summer ends.

BTW- did the pool dude say anything about start up chems and who's paying for the water?
