switching from beaded to overlap liner

[lawdawg79]

I just aquired a pool and need to order a new liner, it currently is a beaded liner but i want to switch to an overlap so.i can get am expandable liner and have more liner options. Do i need to remove the bead channel from inside the pool or can i just put the new liner over it?

Not something I can help with, but I'll see if Waste is available.

And in case that makes no sense to you ...... "Waste" aka Ted is our resident pool installer.

Hi, welcome to The Forum!

As long as the liner doesn't have to pass over the bead receiver, you're all set. I'd suggest caulking the (unneeded channel) so that debris doesn't collect in it and 'funk' can't grow in it and spill into the pristine pool water

If it does have to pass over the receiver, you'd do best to replace the part that has the receiver.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
