Need reccomendation for new liner !

[Heavyhook]

I live about 60 miles south of you. If we are going to 100 degrees in six weeks I'm packing and moving to the mountain's somewhere. We may start seeing 100 degrees as early as June 1st
some years but most summers its around of the end of June before we start hovering around the century mark. I will give you with our 80% humidity it can sure feel like that much sooner! Oh got off track WERE LOOKING FOR A GOOD PLACE TO BUY A NEW LINER !!!

Hey 95 in April is possible. Close enough for my fat gut! I just need the best place to buy a new liner. I also, would like thoughts on getting a dark colored liner, to retain heat....use it earlier in the season, longer into the night during the summer and further into fall.....

thoughts?

[Heavyhook]

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?

[Heavyhook]

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?
