An average pool (10 x 4m) that leaks 1cm per day loses 2,800 litres of water per week, or 145,600 litres annually. That's enough water to fill the pool three times. When pool water is lost, so are pool chemicals and water balance. Under current water restrictions, permits are available to fill existing swimming pools if they are drained to carry out repairs, which will stop unnecessary water loss. During drought (or flood) conditions, groundwater levels change resulting in ground movement. Before: Ground movement can cause significant structural damage to pools, resulting in cracking, tile and pipe daamagen and water loss. Heavy-duty vinyl liners are the only proven pool finish able to cope with structural movement. The vinyl membranes strength, durability and flexibility allow it to move with the pool. Liners can be fabricated to fit virtually any shape, size and contruction of pool, including over steps and benches.  After: Photos: Rondor Caravan Park, Barwon Heads Vinyl liners are very cost effective and compare favourably with other types of pool finishes. Properly maintained, vinyl liners can last well over fifteen years without becoming abrasive (like solid plaster), wearing off (like paint) or possibly shattering snd fslling off (like tiles).
