What actually goes into an in ground vinyl pool liner? Tara Vassallo-Soto and Vincent Soto break down how vinyl liners are made, measured, installed, and inspected. They explain why liners need to be custom fitted to each pool, how the vinyl is heat welded, and how manufacturers check seams before a liner leaves the factory.

The conversation also covers liner lifespan, water chemistry, thickness and mil ratings, warranties, liner patterns, safety textures, and what homeowners should consider when choosing a replacement. They also discuss Loop Lock's exclusive patterns and why seeing physical liner samples can make a big difference when choosing how your pool will look.
