When renovating a pool, people often focus mainly on the liner’s shade and pattern. In reality, what matters most is the base, penetrations, steps, corners and the quality of the welds. For systems like RENOLIT ALKORPLAN, therefore ask about the installer’s experience, not just the price per roll of material.
- How will the base be prepared and levelled?
- How will the jets, skimmer, lights and steps be handled?
- Which membrane type suits the pool’s operation?
- What is the warranty on the work and what on the material?
The lifespan of a quality pool liner is typically 10–15 years, but it’s shortened in practice by a poorly prepared base or aggressive water treatment with pH swings. Darker liner shades heat the water faster, but they also show up small debris and micro-scratches more. Before ordering a colour, ask for a sample in direct sunlight, not just on a screen or in a catalogue.
Before ordering the renovation, also check the condition of the skimmer and the flanges, because a leak at these points will show up again after installing the new membrane just as it did before. A good installer should address these details automatically as part of the preparation, not only after a complaint.
