Can I use this on a vinyl lined pool? Is it a fine granule that will 'melt' quickly?

Yes, I have a vinyl lined pool and it works great. The granules melt very quickly and I never see any residue on the bottom of the pool. I prefer it to any other shock that I have tried and I have tried a lot of others.

I have not seen it in a vinyl pool but know that it dependent on the rubber wheel traction and suction. So it will most likely stay on the bottom and not come up on the wall like a gunite pool.

My pool is in Florida, so I have no idea how the vinyl liner would hold up under a lot of freezing temperatures. I would check out vinyl lifespans under extreme temperatures. As for maintenance. I have no deck around the pool and believe maintenance is easier without a deck. I believe kneeling down to scoop leaves off the bottom or surface is more stressful than standing. I do not plan on a deck for my pool.

The pleated seal will work well on a gunite/concrete pool, HOWEVER, it will also wear out in less than a year. It's not designed to handle the rough surface. Buy this flat seal model for years of service.

Yes I recommend using it over sand smooth sand really good first used the blanket recently when I replaced pool liner put it down on top of the sand that was put down when first set pool up turned really good we'll pleased how it turned out

Yes. You just don't want to use it on glazed tile. The steel helps get the sand and dirt out of the pool

I use Aqua Chem Shock xtra Blue in my vinyl lined pool and it works great. One bag treats 12,000 gallons.

No this is not for use with heat transfer vinyl. If you're looking for something to put over heat transfer vinyl get some Teflon sheets.

It will make a mess. Don't use it on the pool deck. The ground is where it should be used and enjoyed

I haven't used it around an in ground pool. When applying the surface must be dry. After it dries it will withstand anything you can throw at it. Mine has lasted a year and a half so far. Rain, snow, ice. It has persevered. I don't see why it would not work well for your purpose.

The Kreepy Krause I have works fine on plaster.If your pool is plastered you should not have any issues with it.

No not really. Just have to make sure it is on the pad right before you fill you pool. Takes two people to pull straight with your liner on it. This saves your pool. Help it to last longer. I love it.

The G3 is for inground pools, not vinyl above ground pools. They only make one fin(disk) and foot...for inground granite and other aggregate materials.

it gets dirty quickly. Very heavy. I threw mine away..I don't recommend buying it, although it does heat the pool nicely.

No. This is not mesh but a very, very, durable light weight thick vinyl. It is so strong that with all of the heavy snow from last Winter it with stood it and did not rip, tear or cave. We closed our pool in October 2012 and when we opened it Memorial Day weekend 2013 our pool only need chemicals and we were ready to swim if we wanted too. I highly recommend this pool cover. This is the only one we will ever buy for our in-ground pool. We will be buying another one to keep. Anyone would be happy with it.

For me I never used this vinyl to where it was exposed to any kind of water so I'm not sure. But I think if you apply the vinyl correctly and give it time to settle (24 hours) it should be fine for those conditions. I Hope this helped.

If your pool has m,etal-backed walls a strip of thin vinyl should fix the problem. If the walls are self-supporting e.g. Intex or similar you may have to use a thicker vinyl, as long as it is really flexible.
