How do you repair a liner that keeps separating from the coping in the same spot?
I went to the local pool supplier and purchased some "Liner Lock" It comes in 10' pieces at about $4.50 Cdn. each. It is about1/2" wide and about 1/8" thick. you drain the pool a bit some you can pull the liner back into place then push the liner lock into the space between the liner and the yop of the coping. If your coping has opened up a lot you may need two pieces stacked to lock it in place. I used a block of wood and a small hammer to install it. Completely solved the problem!!
What else can I help you with?
Can you reinstall a Doughboy expandable liner by taking the coping off?
No! Leave the coping on the pool. Pull the liner over the top of the coping and clip it where the liner is sagging down and only touching in the middle without any wrinkles and then start the water. As the pool fills readjust the liner. Click this link to download the full instructions from Doughboy http://www.doughboy-pools.com/img/documentsearch/pdf/AG02DOUGHBOYRND.pdf
Can the PVC coping be replaced with new PVC coping on an inground pool built in the mid 70's?
Pool coping can only be replaced by cutting the concrete at least a foot back from the coping and busting that section out. If it were me, I wouldn't replace it with PVC, I would go with aluminum. Because of this, a new liner will most likely be needed. My pool was built in '74. The liner needs to be replaced and the coping looks awful. I have been told by 2 pool repair men that the concrete will have to be "busted up" and also replaced. I was told "Liner Lock" is used to hold the new liner onto the old coping and it should last until the liner needs to be replaced again. So, I asked if there was something out there to cover the coping since it looked so bad. One of them says he will check into it for me but I have not heard back yet. I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH A 30 YEAR OLOD POOL. I AM ONLY LOOKING TO PURCHASE THE 4 ALUMINUM CORNERS IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO GET RID OF THEM TO ADD NEWER COPING PLEASE CONTACT ME AT WGJ48@AOL.COM. THANKS, BILL
Can you put the new liner on top of the old one?
The answer is no. Vinyl liner pools and the concrete deck around the pool are constructed with "concrete receptor coping". The concrete deck is poured into the receptor coping which at the very bottom has was is called a "bead receptor". The vinyl liner at the top has what we call a bead, used to install the liner into the bead receptor. Because there is, and can be, only one bead receptor, a second liner cannot be installed.
Should you replace the coping while you are replacing the liner in your inground pool if the white on the coping gets on your skin?
I replaced the liner and kept the old coping. Now, five years later, the coping is failing. It has cracks and splits and looks terrible. If I had it to do all over again, I would have replaced the coping. There were signs of deterioration that I had ignored. The small seam covers had mostly broken off. Blaming the kids, I got some replacements from the company that had installed the pool originally. The lasted on season. Your coping may be failing. Why take the chance?
Can you replace coping on vinyl liner pool with stone?
Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.

Your pool is made in concrete is it wise to put a liner?
It is unwise to have a liner installed because the pool was not built with "concrete receptor coping. Because this strong steel bead receptor was not built into the coping, a plastic substitute must be nailed into the concrete around the top of the pool. The liner is then screwed into this piece of plastic, and the pool is filled with 200,000 to 400,000 pounds of water. The liner stretches and will usually hold the water for a year or two before it begins to tear at the top. A vinyl liner is not designed for this kind of abuse, and it will be unusable in a very short period of time.
