Q – What is a Uni-Bead liner?
A – A Uni-Bead liner is a 2 in 1 liner. Gives customer option to use the liner as a beaded liner which requires a
bead receiver or as a J-Hook liner which just hooks onto the wall of pool.
Q – Why do I have grass growing through the bottom of the liner and is this covered under warranty?
A – This is not covered under warranty. The earth underneath the pool liner was not properly taken care of
before installation, thus causing sharp blades of grass to grow beneath the liner surface and poke through.
Weed killer can be used but must be checked to make sure that it will not aff ect the liner in any way
Q – How do I fi nd a leak in my liner?
A – Take some food coloring and go to where you think there might be a leak, if so the food coloring will be
drawn to it.
Q – Why do I have too much or too little left over when installing a beaded or Uni-Bead liner?

For example:
North, South, East and West ends of the pool.
Then insert the bead in between these points to get the best possible fit.

A - A pool cove is used for the transition of the liner from the wall to the pool bottom.
Q – How much of a pool cove should I have?
A – There should be a 4-5 inch cove.
Q – How are the liner seams put together?
A – They are heat-sealed.
Q – What is the lowest temperature to install a liner?
A – 60 degrees for a beaded liner and 50 degrees for an overlap liner.
Q - Why doesn’t my liner fi t?
A - To determine why your liner is too small or doesn't t properly, review the following:
(a) Is it too cold. Vinyl will shrink and sti ffen when the temperature is below 65 degrees. The sun will soften
the vinyl making it easier to pack folds and wrinkles.
(b) Your pool is out of round.
(c) There should be two inches of sand or Styrofoam under the pool liner with an eight inch cove along the
inside of the pool wall. Do not use coarse sand.
(d) The pool may not be level.
(e) The liner may have been installed unevenly. Verify that the bottom seam of the liner is centered in the
pool. The liner may be pulled to one side.
