No Wrinkles, No Problem!

Ask your dealer questions
about how to keep your liner wrinkle free!
It's natural to have wrinkled fingers and toes after a fun day in the sun in your Pacific Pool, but what isn’t natural is the wrinkling of your pool liner. 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.

Proper installation is key
to a wrinkle free pool!
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. Although this situation is not one to be had, it can happen from time to time, its important to follow these guidelines! For more pool liner maintenance suggestions and guidelines, read more here!
