Personally, I would have a professional change my liner. The liner needs to be stretched smooth, the water added slowly while adjusting the liner, and the temperature should be at least 60 degrees or higher. If the pool is large, it will require more than one person. It may require up to 6 people working at the same time. Pay the money and have the pros do it. They can complete it in one day. Hope this helps!
I liner can last from 3-10 years or more. The lifespan is 7 years on average. The variation is due to wear and tear, chlorine levels, sun exposure, abrasion and other activities that wear down the liner.
a standard pool liner typically lasts between 5 to 7 years assuming there is no aggresive chemical or temperature abuse.

All day long. Concrete pools have real tile instead of the fake liner tile look. You can update a concrete pool later on as styles change: with vinyl it's final.
To fix a detached vinyl liner from its spot on an above ground pool, the water will have to be drained from the pool. Then, a marine patch can be placed on the area to re-attach the vinyl to the place where it came apart. Allow this to dry thoroughly before refilling the pool.
One of the biggest fears that most pool owners have when it comes to their vinyl pool liner is discovering a rip or a tear in it. The fortunate thing about holes in vinyl liners is that they are very easy to repair. http://www.pondpro2000.com/epdm-pond-liner.html
