Looking to install a PVC liner in an indoor pool

The Acqua di Lusso range of inground and above ground pool liners are like other traditional pool liners in that they are fully pre-welded and shaped inside a factory. The liner is then stretched into place onsite.


Reinforced pool liners have to be fabricated onsite, inside the pool, as the reinforced layer does not allow the liner to be stretched and formed to the pool shape. Sections of Acqua di Lusso are laid into the pool, with overlapping seams welded together to form a water tight joint. Edges are also sealed to prevent wicking and finish off the water proofing process. This process also means any shape of pool, including steps and benches can be accommodated.


So if you are looking to install a PVC liner in an indoor pool or other situations where wrinkling may occur, we recommend the use of a reinforced PVC such as Acqua Di Lusso Reinforced. The affected area of vinyl that has wrinkled will eventually start to weaken, and when seen up close cracks can be seen. These tiny cracks if left will eventually form larger tears. As the process is irreversible, once this happens, the lifespan of the liner is greatly reduced.

Pool liners - How to Maximise Their Life

Most swimming pools in Australia will experience two climates: the active summer and the dormant winter time. Each time of year will require different maintenance schedules because the amount of activity in the pool changes.


Your pool’s pH level should always be carefully monitored, and should be above 7.0 to 7.6. Below this and it will be acidic (quite often the cause of stinging eyes after prolonged swimming). Above this and your pool will be too alkaline (quite often the cause of skin rashes after prolonged swimming). When adding chemicals to your pool, there are three important points to note:

·         Never add the raw chemical to your pool, always premix it first
·         When premixing with water, NEVER add water to the chemical, ALWAYS add the chemical to the water until the concentration is correct.
·         Never allow the raw chemical to come in contact with the pool liner, this can stain or damage it.
·         You should consider adding the pre-mixed chemicals directly to the skimmer box.


Winterising Your Pool :-  During winter, as the pool doesn’t get used and will be dormant for many months it is a good idea to “winterise” it. This process involves adjusting the pH to 7.6 and super chlorinating to 5 ppm. This controls algae and bacterial growth in the water. This can also be accompanied by the use of a pool cover, which greatly reduces evaporation, stops leafs and other debris entering the pool and even lowers the amount of chemical that is required.  Pool blankets also have the added bonus of trapping in heat, which can extend the swimming season up to a couple of months with a good solar cover.

Always maintain correct water levels for the pool, summer or winter. Don’t think that just because the pool isn’t in use, the amount of water in it can allowed to drop. The water holds the pool liner in place, if the water lowers, the liner can shift and wrinkle.

Main Points :-  Summer or winter, regular maintenance will give you the best out of your pool.  So always make sure you at least;
·         Monitor your chemical levels at least once a week
·         When adjusting chemical levels, adjust slowly and wait at least 6 hours before re-testing or adding more chemicals
·         Cover your pool when not in use, this greatly reduces debris and dirt in your pool, and means you use less chemicals
·         Never let the pH fall below 7.0
