Good morning,

My original liner was defective,................

Dave, Nice pool !!
It really doesn't look like a liner pool. I've never seen one with tile and steps like yours. I really like it.
Was it originally a gunnite pool converted over to a liner?
How is the liner attached under the tile?
Does the waterline go up to the middle of the tile above the top of the liner?
Sorry for so many questions, please tell me more about you pool.

Reason I'm asking is because I have a very old (55yr) poured concrete pool (painted) and I'm considering adding a liner. I still want my ceramic tile at the water line and tile on the steps? Do you think it can be done??

Hi, George,

Thank you. It is a 2 year old pool made from concrete block. I didn't have the skills to do plaster so I chose a liner. I also like the feel of a liner pool.

I see no reason why you couldn't to that to your pool. Yes, the waterline is halfway up the tile and yes, there is a horizontal track attached to the side of the pool and the liner has a bead that is inserted into that track. Beadlock is then used to wedge the bead tight in the track and waterproof it.

Send me a private message with your email on it, if you like, and I'll send you some photos that will help with the description. It's been a very interesting project.
