How do you get dirt stains off the bottom of a vinyl pool liner when a brush will not work?

Vinyl liners have a tendency to stain. If a brush won't work, you can try using a large chlorine tablet to "brush" the stained area. Please use caution - bleach tablets can burn skin and eyes - wear goggles and gloves! More input from FAQ Farmers: * Ascorbic acid will remove stain from a vinyl lines. First try a vitamin C tablet on the stain and see if it works. It should work almost immediately. Using ascorbic acid followed by MetalOut in a 0% chlorine pool will work. * I tried the ascorbic acid suggestion and it worked great. But rubbing the lining with a sock full of vitamin C tablets was time consuming. Can I add granular ascorbic acid to the pool water and have it do the same thing? If so, will that damage the pool liner? If not, what ratio should I use? * You can purchase granular ascorbic acid for just this purpose at any good pool supply store - I get mine at Leslie's. Follow the directions on the bottle (including the use of a chellating agent). This will not damage your liner. * These are more than likely not dirt stains, but metal stains. Swimming Pools can get all kinds of metal satins, but the most popular ones are copper, iron and organic. And yes, the ascorbic acid will work great to remove the stains. To prevent the staining, you need to use a sequestering agent to keep the metals 'tied up' in the water so they cannot attach themselves to the liner.

Can you convert a inground pool with concrete bottom and polymer sides into a liner pooll?
I'm going to presume that it already had a liner in it once before.. there are only a few systems like you are describing. One is a stainless steel wall and concrete bottom (.claytonlambert), and the other is a (onlyevolution) composite (not polymer though) wall system that is painted with a painted concrete bottom. I think there is a company called Swimcrete as well.. but, either way, if you wanted to drop in a liner, you'd need to have some sort of coping or beadtrac around the top. If you could post a picture it would be helpful! The answer is "absolutely not"! The liner folks will be happy to sell you a liner, but it will not last 2 years. A hybrid pool lacks the required 'concrete receptor coping' installed in all vinyl liner pool installations. The required concrete receptor coping is extremely strong and contains what is known as a 'bead receptor'. All vinyl liners are manufactured with a 'bead' around the top of the liner. Obviously, at installation the bead is inserted into the bead receptor enabling the liner to support well over a hundred thousand (100,000) pounds of water. Even a small vinyl liner pool, 16x32, holds about 125,000 pounds of water. The vinyl liner salesmen, those without ethics, will nail a track into the top of the polymer wall, then screw the liner into the track. In other words, the 20mil liner with screw holes is expected to hold at least 125,000 pounds. As soon as the ground settles, even a little bit, the liner tears and you're out thousands of dollars. Better is resurface the walls with swimming pool gelcoat.
