Pool liners and lining
The liner makes the pool watertight and sets the colour of the water. Choose a shade, see how to look after it and when it needs repairing.
In prefab pools the PVC liner comes with a written 10-year guarantee. The same material gives very different results depending on the colour: from turquoise water with a white liner to deep, lake-like water with anthracite.
