I was sitting with an inground pool customer last night that had owned her previous pool for about 19 years. It was a small, 12'x24' design with only about 7,000 gallons of water. She was in the process of tearing out her old pool and getting a new one, and when the subject of pool chemicals came up she mentioned to me that she had spent $700 this past summer to keep the water clear. Before she even mentioned what type of chemical she had been using, I knew there was only one that could cost so much for such a small pool for just one summer: Baquacil.

Frankly, most pool owners are led to an unrealistic sense of their liner's longevity because of its warranty. So let me make one very clear statement: Your typical pool liner warranty, be it 25 or 30 years, is a joke.
