Yeah, the darker liners look cool, but I think you're gonna find that you hit hot-tub temps much faster than with a lighter liner. On the flip side, though, you might be able to extend your swim season by a few weeks. My liner is a 20 ml made by Plastimayd. My old liner lasted 8 years (my pool stays open year-round but actually has swimmers in it from April through late Sept or early Oct.) and I just replaced it last spring. Looking at the pattern choices the installer gave me, the website is plastimayd.com. There are other liner companies out there, but these are the only ones I've ever had. At least I know they're good ones.
