Fading liner help.

[freddyttt]

Inground pool only about 3 years old-

liner seems to be fading in the corner-

I do use the BBB method and have only had minor problems. also the pool water hardly ever reaches that level.

thoughts?

Do you have a robotic cleaner? They sometimes 'overwork' an area and strip the pattern off the liner.

[freddyttt]

I do but it rarely reaches that area if ever. also it seems to be happening at the same level in a few spots around the pool. just not as bad.

yet

After further inspection from in the pool it is happening at the same line level on 90% of the liner. almost a craking of some sort.

at what level should the water be at. i keep it half way at my skimmer level about 8inches from the top.

[freddyttt]

any thoughts?

I haven't seen that before. My liner sometimes accumulates a dark gray buildup in about the same place that is white on your liner, but it isn't cracked--it cleans off with baking soda and a sponge. I have no idea what could make your liner crack like that above the waterline.

I guess i see if its covered under warenty.

Very strange to only be in the corners like that...

Can you feel the area and tell us if it might possibly be calcium deposits or similar - ie - something that is on the liner (perhaps tape residue?)

Logic would say that any cracking would be ~ the same around the entire liner, but then again, so should any deposits

Please keep us posted as to what you find out about this

Hi waste it is happening at the same line level on 90% of the liner all around the pool.

the only thing i can think of is when i had a alge or slim problem i scrubed with a pool scrub brush. but i did that to 100% of the walls. this is happening above the waterline;(

Did you use any type of chemical when you were scrubbing with the pool brush that may have not been rinsed off above the waterline?
