Demand the Best

Nearly 70 percent of residential swimming pools in the USA rely on vinyl liners.  Those 5 million homeowners, depend on a pool liner to make their pool look beautiful year after year. If you are looking to replace a pool liner for an existing pool, or if you're building a new pool altogether, you should know about Merlin's Aqua-Max - an upgrade to standard vinyl liners that comes with a 25 year warranty.

When working with a pool professional, you may hear the words "20 mil" or "27 mil" which are measurements of liner thickness, the latter being thicker. When you're choosing a liner, a lot of people believe the thicker the better; however, the thicker liners are still subject to the same ultraviolet, chemical, and heat damage as the standard "20 mil" liners.

About 80-90 percent of liner failures happen above the water line because of ultraviolet & heat damage. When the sun reflects upon the water and hits the lined walls, UV rays are reflected and "fry" the liner that is not being cooled by the pool water.  This could possibly cause liner failure over a prolonged amount of time. Like anything else left under the sun, the sun can fade the colors in your liner. Aqua-Max is less susceptible to sun damage and provides far greater resistance to chemical misuse, which can also cause fading and/or spotting of the liner.  It is specifically formulated to provide greater UV resistance and provides added bleach, heat and fade resistance.

Standard liners are composed of PVC material while Aqua-Max is a 20 mil liner composed of High Molecular Weight Polymer and fade resistant inks.  The Aqua-Max has TWICE the anti fungal and antibacterial protection as standard liners - this includes algae growth prevention.  

When swim season ends, be sure to look into SmartMesh, the ultimate safety pool cover.  SmartMesh is an industry innovation that lets water through but is 100% light tight which SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the amount of algae growth throughout Spring. 

Aqua-Max and SmartMesh are truly more pool owner friendly products and are your BEST choice.  Demand the best, demand an Aqua-Max.
