Do not drain the pool completely for any reason without consulting a pool |
| |
professional for advice. The older the liner, the higher the risk that the liner will shrink and not stretch back into it's original shape without ripping. Sites with a high water table may also carry the additional risk of structural damage. |

| 8. |
Never close a pool without circulating the pool water for several hours after |
| |
the final addition of chemicals. Even liquid chlorine can concentrate in the deep end and cause liner bleaching, if not sufficiently blended with the rest of the pool water. |
| |
| 9. |
Use a well fitting winter pool cover that is tightly sealed around the entire |
| |
perimeter of the pool to prevent accumulation of debris such as leaves, worms, etc. during the winter period. Organic matter has the potential to cause staining and/or bleaching of the vinyl liner. |
| |
| 10. |
Avoid the use of any abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning aids (e.g. such as |
| |
steel wool, sharp bristled brushes, scouring pads, etc.). |
| |
| 11. |
Use only manufacturer's recommended vinyl liner cleaner for removing |
| |
accumulated soil at water line or other soiled areas. |
