Using Styrofoam insulation under a pool liner can provide several benefits, including enhanced thermal insulation, which helps maintain water temperature and reduces heating costs. It also offers a smooth, cushioned surface that can protect the liner from punctures and abrasions caused by sharp objects or uneven ground. However, it is essential to ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation, which could compromise the insulation's effectiveness and lead to potential issues with the pool structure.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use masonry sand under your above ground pool liner?
yes just remember the softer the better on the liner and on your feet
What type of heat transfer does adding insulation slow down?
Generally speaking, insulation slows the movement of thermal energy by convection. The dead air spaces in fiberglass insulation make it a good bet to put in walls and under roof spaces. Styrofoam coolers work because the many, many tiny air spaces in the styrofoam are places where air is trapped, and those are dead air spaces.
Do you have to put sand under a pool?
Yes by putting an even layer of sand down you will protect the liner from the irregularity's in the ground and absorb impact from above.
How do you remove a stone under the lining of an above ground pool?
To remove a stone under the lining of an above-ground pool, first, drain the water from the pool to below the level of the stone. Carefully lift the pool liner at the affected area to expose the stone, taking care not to damage the liner. Remove the stone and any debris, then reposition the liner, ensuring there are no wrinkles or folds. Finally, refill the pool with water and check for leaks or issues with the liner.
Is there a special sand for under liner for above ground pools?
That is most commonly referred to as " washed sand " also float sand , or mortar sand ,it has no stone or stone chips that will damage or stain the liner.
How long does it take styrofoam to digest?
Styrofoam is not digestible. The body will eliminate it before it would be digestible. Styrofoam should not be consumed under any circumstances.
Why do underground water remain warmer in winter morning?
I think it is because of the good insulation of earth surface to the under ground water
How do you know if ground water is coming in under pool liner?
One way would be to install drain tile in the yard around the pool deck to carry excess ground water away from the pool.
What causes wrinkles in a pool liner?
I'm assuming that you have an inground vinyl lined pool. This is a chronic problem with inground vinyl lined pools, and is due to ground water being higher than the level of the water in your pool. The pressure of the ground water is greater than the pressure exerted by your pool water, and the liner floats. A half baked solution, is to wait until the ground is no longer saturated before removing water. The real solution is to provide a way for the ground water underneath your liner to be removed. This can be a passive system with a small pipe going under your liner and allowing the ground water to drain off (but this only works if you can keep all parts of that pipe below the level of the water in the pool-which depends completely on the pitch of the ground in your yard), or an active pumping system which pumps the ground water out to a drain.
Do you need anything under the pool liner?
Sand is normally put under the pool liner to create a smoother surface.
What is the modulus of elasticity of styrofoam?
The modulus of elasticity of styrofoam, also known as expanded polystyrene (EPS), typically ranges from 10-40 MPa (megapascals). This value represents the material's ability to deform elastically under stress and return to its original shape when the stress is removed. The low modulus of elasticity of styrofoam makes it a lightweight and flexible material commonly used in packaging and insulation applications.
Is there a way to replace the sand that has been washed out from under my above ground pool after repairing the leak which caused the problem I'd rather not drain it and remove liner to fix it.?
No the amount of weight exerted on the liner of even a litle water makes this imposible to do.
