Concerns about bleach with vinyl liner (IG)

Thanks. I had a feeling that the lifespan was about right. I just wondered why he said that about the bleach. My husband usually walks around the entire pool pouring in the bleach. So, we could definitely stand to change the way we administer it to the pool.

Part of me did wonder whether this guy just wanted to pooh-pooh the idea of bleach, because he handed me a pamphlet recommending against using bleach.

I would love to read that. Do you have any way to scan it in? I hope it says never to use "liquid shock" from the pool store too.

"he handed me a pamphlet recommending against using bleach."

And what did this pamphlet give as reasons for not using bleach?

That it would "weaken the liner." Oy! Yeah, I will look for it and scan it, if found. I think I may have chucked it after my initial reading.

Hmm,I wonder what he thinks "swimming pool" chlorine does at 12%, if 6% bleach weakens the liner?
