Liner looks like it had a bad sunburn

What's intersting though is that this is 2" above the water line at the pool fullest so water never touches this part of the liner. It's on the side of the pool that gets constant sun so I think that is what has done the damage.

Thanks. I think I've been convinced to wait it out and see what happens and if we can get one more season out of it that would be great and we can tackle the problem next year.

In the mean time I've drained the pool down about 1 1/2 feet to refill to lower my CYA and also to hopefully fix the side of the pool that is leaning...

Are you sure it's the liner that is peeling, and not some algae/ bio- nasty? In 20 years, I've never seen a liner 'delaminate' - I have seen stuff that grew on the walls while the pool was overfilled that dried and flaked when the water was taken back down.

It is flaking...looks like skin peeling...eewww...I'll take a pic tomorrow and post.

I hope it's the case of what you said and not the liner falling apart.
