The lifespan of an above ground pool liner depends on several factors, including water chemistry, sun exposure, weather conditions, installation quality, and overall pool maintenance. While some of our customers have enjoyed the same pool liner for 20 years or more, the average lifespan under normal conditions is typically 7 to 8 years. Because pool liners are made of durable vinyl, they can also be damaged unexpectedly by sharp objects, pets, or improper chemical balance. Regular cleaning, maintaining proper water chemistry, and using a quality pool cover can help maximize the life of your pool liner and keep it looking its best for years.
