Concrete block method

[KirstenHW]

How does it work to have a vinyl liner AND a tiled water line? It looks awesome - but I'm trying to understand how /where the liner bead sets and how water doesn't get behind the liner (as my husband says, the squirrel is on the wheel in my head again . . .

Kirsten,

The liner inserts into a channel mounted into the pool wall. (see pic) "Bead-loc" is then inserted into the channel, locking in the liner and waterproofing the seal. The tile is installed directly onto the concrete wall (just above the channel) with standard thinset installation methods.
