I am confused , more than usual to day. My 15 x 24, 2 year old, Johnny W. pool needs a new liner do to a leak i can't find. I go to the shop were i bought it and order the liner they say i need. It is a beaded liner they say, and the sample confirms. They also say because it is a beaded liner, i don't need to remove the top rail to replace it.

I was just looking at the pool and pulled one of the top rails off, and i don't see how the original liner could be replaced without removing the top rails.

The orig liner has a distinct white area on the very top, with a 1/2" piece that is overlapping the pool wall, this is held on by a channel that goes over the liner and pool wall, basically clamping the liner to the wall.

Can anyone explain the differences in liner or how i can find out what i have.

Thanks
