Wow I can't believe that monarch pools was responsible for building a pool with no light no main drain one skimmer on a 30,000 gallon pool and no step section built in either.
I been doing pool liners now for 40 years, I also put fresh new gaskets new plastic housing and new stainless steel screws and check there ground connections or add a water ground
I can't stand when customers do this. The worst feeling in the world is having the person stand over the top of you for hours on end questioning every move you make.
Hi Kerala, You don't need cylindrical glass. Just get some 2.5" outer diameter PVC pipe, cut to the length needed (about 9"), and then wrap that in reflective silver colored Mylar sheeting, held in place with some Scotch tape along the length of the Mylar. These materials are very inexpensive. Home Depot likely will even cut the PVC for you. Please let me know how you make out with this project, and feel free to ask any other questions.
Excellent video! I happened to discover this technique in one of the museums in Edinburgh many years ago and was fascinated. And now, watching my own video from that time I decided to explore the subject and came across this great video. Lots of thanks!
What Size is that pool ?? How do you mesure it exactly?? I am going to try to do mines , is a pool like this one but not sure how to order the liner to give measurements for the corner , the depth , shallow etc , mines is 16x32 with 3 steps 8 1/2 “ deep , 3 1/2 shallow ! Having problems with radius measurements! Where is the best place to order liners ?????
It would've been a lot better if they ordered it to fit instead of trying to avoid wrinkles and ordering it too small then stretching it in, or bought a shovel and shop vac to empty the water in the hopper that the pump wouldn't pick up, or bought a pool liner vac (the day we attempted to scrub a black stain that used to be a shop vac off of concrete I knew to find a better product) or ordered the liner from Tara Mfg, or put a vermiculite (poolcrete) bottom in it,or used wall foam, or cut and folded the old liner so it fits on the truck when the job is finished, or didnt drag the liner across the floor- get his ass to help you carry it! And Take that stupid valve off the hose and keep it off the liner! Or used an actual skimmer gasket instead of duct tape! Or if you had two skimmers and more than 2 returns (hayward 1408 fittings) when the pool was originally installed you wouldn't have had the issue with leaves to begin with. But I'll bet the WORLD my paycheck to your dollar that the original liner wasn't 26 years old- bullshit!
The job was professionally done at my home. As I recall, the vacuum was set-up and turned on at the end of their workday, and then ran all night into the next day. This was about two years ago, so I could be wrong.
I would have foamed the walls, lots of rust. Scrape paint and foam. Shop vac the last of the old water out. Filling from shallow allows water to puddle and heat somewhat. I never lay hose on liner, if it starts wiggling back and forth with metal on vinyl,,, not good. Great job though.
I've worked on swimming pools since 1973 and have never put a liner in as sloppy as these guys. The bottom should have been scrubbed and washed down to eliminate the mold and algae that I saw on the video. The chance for stains bleeding through the liner is a real problem with liners nowadays, thanks to the liner manufacturers changing the chemical make up of the liner material. The pool would of looked a lot better if they had painted the coping while the liner was out. And any real pro would have blown the deck off before installing the liner to keep the debris from getting under the liner during installation. On a scale of 1to 10 , I give these guys a 3, maybe 4. Installers like this are why I don't have to look for work, work looks for me.
Yup I agree. Didn't look like they replaced the skimmer gasket either. Wearing shoes on liner. Didn't spray down floor or walls/track. Unless those parts were left out.

@@joepannarale8691 scrape any rust. If more than just some easily removed surface rust we install 1/8 or 1/4" wall foam as protective barrier for the liner.
You still around??? Apparently, either our brush or skimmer edge cut the liner and we lost all the water in our i/g pool. I placed bags of salt and sand on the shallow end corners and near the steps to avoid tearing. We finally located and repaired a handful of little tears....will I need to use a vacuum like these guys did or can the water refilling actually take the wrinkles out????? Anyone with experience please do tell!
Having installed liners now for 35 years this was a fun watch. I can see these guys are old school, look like a decent job but there's some new tools out that give better suction than a shop vac that are purpose built for the job. I suppose it gets the job done, way back when we used shop vacs too and burned out about 3 of them every season. These guys should invest in a "slop shove" and save their backs bending over to get out the last bit of gunk with a dustpan. One last thing I've never done is wear my sneakers in the pool, I always take them off and go socks or feet only... what if a pebble or something sharp were caught in your shoe tread which could poke the liner? Maybe they checked but not worth the chance for me. Anyways, nicely done video although a word to anyone watching that wants to try themselves, this is a very simple rectangle with no steps or anything difficult, there are MANY obstacles that can be run into doing such a job yourself, water in the ground, sand bottoms, all sorts of fittings... just a thought.
I misread the company's address as "Fuher Street" and had some serious questions... but I guess it's okay after you read the address properly and don't wonder if the street has some sort of Nazi connection.
@@sharkson7725 sure it is. Our new pool builds sit for weeks sometimes longer waiting on the decks to be poured..leaving pool empty can dry up a vermiculite/ sand cement floor but won't effect structural integrity of a pool being empty for a bit. I wouldn't leave it empty over winter or with ground water issues.
Not a bad job and the video quality was good. Three observations: I would have used the shop vac (without a filter in it) to vac out the last few gallons of muck and algae. I did notice that at 17:20, the liner was out of the bead for about 3 feet on the left side of the pool. As soon as the liner vacs start pull the wrinkles out, I make it a point to scan the liner bead all around to make sure it is set in the coping. It can be real hard to get back into the coping after the pool is filled.I would have replaced the 1085 skimmer gaskets.Other than that, nice job.
@@daveh2612 the vacuum sucks all the air out from behind the liner. Holding it tight into place as it fills. Once water pressure is on the liner it will stay into place
my pool has been leaking summer 2017 but stopped i think because the ground water went pressure up just covered it and i noticed the cover was dropping..the liner is only 3 years old i think it may be leaking around the steps. But i took the solid cover off and installed the safety cover that lets the dirty water go in however it will stop the leaves from going in till i get to it in the spring of 2018. just a good back up but if you use a safety cover your pool will be green and take longer to clean!
