Uni-bead pool liners are versatile liners that can be used as either a J-hook or beaded liner, offering flexibility in installation. Beaded pool liners, on the other hand, have a pre-attached bead at the top edge that fits into a track or groove at the top of the pool wall, providing a snug and secure fit. Both types offer ease of installation, but Uni-bead liners provide more options depending on the pool's existing setup.
We recommend purchasing a Uni-bead liner and installing it with the pre-attached j-hook because it seals off and protects the pool wall. To install it as a j-hook you do not need to purchase any additional parts. When using it with bead receiver tracks as a snap in beaded liner, the chemically treated water in the pool can get behind the liner through the gaps in the bead receiver tracks and corrode the pool wall. Also, to install a Uni-bead Liner as a standard beaded liner you would need to purchase bead receiver track (sold separately).
