Hi all, have been at this forum for a while and have been using bleach rather than other forms of chlorine for about 2 years now. Pool's been beautiful. Last year, we had seen just a couple small hole-type tears and had them patched. Then, last month, hubby and I noticed a large tear in the vinyl liner of our IG pool on the sun-facing side. It was too large to be repaired. The guy who is putting in our liner said that it was weakened by the bleach.

Is that so? Could we have just been pouring it in too close to the liner? I'm concerned and want to do this right so I don't end up having to have another new liner put in.

BTW, the old, split liner was approx 12-15 years old.

Thanks,
Erica
