Wrinkling of Vinyl Pool Liner
Our vinyl manufacturer has invested a great deal of time and money into discovering the causes of and the
prevention of wrinkling. Wrinkles that develop in swimming pool liners after installation are caused by the vinyl absorbing
water and thereby changing dimensions. Testing has shown that high levels of chlorine or bromine will initiate excessive water
absorption into the vinyl liner and lead to wrinkles. Low pH and cyanuric acid stabilizer are also factors in wrinkle formation
because the activity level of the chlorine is affected by pH and stabilizer level.
Our experience has shown that the use of trichloroisocyanuric acid sanitizer (Trichlor) and low pH levels can cause
wrinkling of your vinyl liner. Alkaline sanitizers (Hydochlorite) and non- chlorine sanitizer systems have been found to be
safer to use with vinyl liners.
