Inground Pool Liners

Inground Pool Liners

Are you in need of a new liner for your in-ground pool?  Let Blue Crew Pools install your next liner.

Using only the highest quality vinyl, Blue Crew Pools work with the Vinyl Works to only purchase high quality in-ground pool liners.  Our liner jobs include the following:

  • Drain Pool
  • Neatly remove old liner
  • Install 1/4″ wall foam if necessary
  • Trowel the bottom of the pool if necessary
  • Install new liner
  • Cut in skimmer and returns  

Types of Bottoms

There are various materials used for the bottom of the pool that the liner sits on.  The 3 most common are Sand, Vermiculite and Concrete.  Each type of bottom has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Sand:  Most older pools have a sand bottom.  Sand is troweled flat and the liner is set on that.  The advantage to sand is its inexpensive.  the disadvantage is that it’s easier for water to wash the sand away leaving dips and dents in the pool bottom.  Also, with sand, leaving heel prints is almost a given.  You may not see these blemishes during the day, turn a light on and you will see them all.

Vermiculite:  Also used on mostly older pools, vermiculite is a Portland cement and vermiculite mixture.  Using a little water to mix the vermiculite up, the technician trowels the vermiculite over the bottom of the pool.  A vermiculite bottom has a softer sponge-like feel that is more comfortable on your feet, vermiculite doesn’t dent with your heel as easy as sand does and it acts, to a small degree, as an insulator helping to keep pool water from cooling down so fast due to the ground temperature. 

Concrete:  Concrete bottoms are the choice for bottoms in newer pools.  Concrete is harder on the feet and not as comfortable as sand or vermiculite.  Concrete is ideal for maintaining the lines and curves in the pools bottom design.  Concrete keeps the slopes and walls from being able to wash out as easy, helps keep ground water at bay.  Concrete is also the most expensive option coming in around $6k for a standard sized inground pool.

Blue Crew's Liners

Blue Crew Pools works with 2 Liner manufacturers; The Vinyl Works in Latham, NY and Latham Liners, also in Latham, NY.

Both liner manufacturers produce top-of-the-line vinyl liners for inground pools.

        Water Balancing

        You can’t enjoy your pool if it’s not safe for human use, and the best way to ensure a safe, sanitary, algae-free pool is to perform regular swimming pool chemical maintenance.

        Unlike a pond, lake, or the ocean, which each have delicate ecosystems that typically prevent bacteria, fungi, and algae from getting out of hand, swimming pools are artificial environments. Without the help of fish and plants to keep negative elements at bay, your pool relies on its pumping system and chemical treatments to remain hygienic.

        That’s why Blue Crew Pools offers complete chemical services for a low monthly fee. When you hire us to check and balance the chemical levels in your pool, you never have to worry about this time-consuming and delicate task. The best part is, the chemicals are included so you don’t have to store chemicals anymore. This service is very popular and fills quickly, don’t wait, contact us today to get on the list for 2023..

        Our Chemical Balances Include the following:
        • Onsite water test
        • Chemicals to balance pool
        • Detailed Chemical report showinng what was done durig the visit
        • Historical reports available for help with warranty issues (Heaters, Pumps, filters and other equipment)
        • Through inspections of filter, pump and all associated parts
        • Detailed report as to water and any other findings that may be of concern.

        Signs That Your Swimming Pool Needs Chemical Service:

        Perhaps you’re looking out the window at your pool right now, and the water looks clear. Before you click away from our site, it’s important that you be aware of one simple fact about pool chemistry: Clear water doesn’t mean safe water, but safe water will always be clear.

        If you’ve noticed any of the below signs that your pool’s water chemistry might be dangerously unbalanced, it’s vital that you call Blue Crew Pools for testing and chemical balancing today:

        1. Water is cloudy
        2. Water is green
        3. Water burns eyes/smells like chlorine
        4. Water is foaming
        5. Water is staining the pool surface
