    Nite, welcome (back?) to the forum!!
    Low pH will certainly harm the liner, including fading and wrinkling and premature failure! As far as I know high pH will not harm the liner.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    For vinyl, anything below 7.0 is asking for trouble, especially if it's for an extended period of time. This is based on user responses on forums. I don't have any actual chemical analysis or lab data.
