liner replacement conversion from ester Williams

[Jimmynoshow]

I acquired and Esther Williams pool I was told Premier Series it requires a special liner I guess with a fatter bead which seems hard to get or custom made by the way very expensive.being that I'm putting up the pool next season I wanted to change the P trap so I measured and ordered a standard Bead track. And a wedge strip . I'm hoping a standard bead liner or unibead liner will now fit with a different track put in there. it doesn't seem like rocket science it is my second poolseems like by perching purchasing a 70 track its a 600 .liner versus 259 . any input here? Thank you I'm new to the form it said post here

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your question but hopefully someone will come along who will be able to. I just wanted to pop in and say hello and welcome you to the Pool Forum!

Ok , thank you for welcoming me. I ordered a unibead 25 ga gli liner the carribean one with the fish and standard bead receiver rail and wedgelock roll . Im sure it will be fine .My last pool I just slapped together did everything by eye and it lasted 20 years . This one im going to try to make much nicer . I already coated all the baseplates and bottom track with POR15 FOR rustproofing going to coat the inside of wall probably too. Last pool I got used and was already 5 years old when I disabled and set back up and 20 years later you could see the liner through rust holes in the bottom wall. Couldn't kill that pool .Ended up just taking it down and scrapping everything.

If you're getting no response it's because either people cannot help you with this (I cannot) or cannot follow your question.

BTW, a 25 gauge liner will be about 18.5 mils thick. FYI.

Sorry you are not get useful replies. Newbies have to post in the newbie section where only admin, moderators and support team members can see it. Once your thread is moved out into the regular section of the forum, there will be lots more people who can actually view it and hopefully someone will read it who can help.

Unfortunately, it may be a bit until it gets moved. PoolDoc (Ben) had a death in the family this week when his father passed away suddenly. So, he has not been able to be on the forum much in the past week understandably. Hopefully, he'll be able to be back soon. Hope you understand and we appreciate your patience.

Welcome to the Pool Forum, by the way!
