Moving a pool question

[Pibster]

I am moving a pool from my neighbors yard to mine. It's a 5 year old pool with a beaded liner. Am I wasting my time trying to reuse the old liner or should I just order a new one?

You're better off ordering a new one.

Once liners are drained, they're not really good about re-stretching to be refilled. Besides, if it's 5 years old, you are at least halfway through the life of the liner anyway. I'd get a new one if it's in the budget....

I guess I'll get one ordered. Would all 18' x 52" pool liners be standard?

[PoolDoc]

No!! Not at all.

[Pibster]

The pool supply website shows 18' standard spec round liners 52" high. Why would this not fit my pool? Wouldn't most pool manufactures use a standard size?

Pibster, you've got our recommendations. They are are not going to change, if you ask a few more times.

It's your choice: do what pleases you!

Who knows? You might get lucky, and find one that actually is interchangeable. I'd guess that's happened once or twice.
