We are in the process of doing jsut that. We are replacing the liner and bottom of pool. We have the vermiculite bottom. We filled in the deep end of pool, due to water shortages, and are now trying to decide which liner to buy. I don't know anything about the sand bottoms but our bottom fell apart when we took the liner out. Hope this helps
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.

Yes, you can paint a vinyl pool liner using a specialized vinyl pool paint that is designed to adhere to flexible materials without peeling. It's important to thoroughly clean and prepare the surface before applying the paint. For small cracks in the vinyl, you can use a vinyl patch kit or a flexible sealant specifically formulated for vinyl repairs, ensuring the area is clean and dry before application.
A vinyl pool liner lock is a device used to secure and hold in place the vinyl liner of an above-ground swimming pool. It typically consists of a track or groove that the liner is fitted into, preventing it from shifting or coming loose. This helps maintain the liner's position, ensuring a snug fit and minimizing the risk of leaks or damage. Properly installed, a liner lock enhances the longevity and appearance of the pool.

Rubber paint is generally not recommended for use on vinyl pool liners, as it may not adhere properly and could damage the liner. Vinyl is designed to be flexible and waterproof, while rubber paint can create a rigid layer that may crack or peel over time. If you need to touch up or repair a vinyl pool liner, it's best to use products specifically designed for vinyl materials. Always check with the manufacturer for the best recommendations for maintaining your pool liner.
