Hi,

I would recommend calling a “Harrow’s” if you have one in your area.

Let me know if you need more help,

Hi Carl.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately you are going to have to purchase a new liner. As far as when you install your new liner, you have the right idea about waiting for a warm sunny day. The heat from the sun will help soften the new liner so that you can get a better install. Also, if you don’t want the same thing to happen again, make sure you don’t drain your pool and leave it without water. The liner must stay wet continuously to avoid ruining it’s ability to stretch.
Hope this helps.

We have an older model doughboy, maybe 20 yrs. It is an above ground and the measurements I think are 16×28 sort of octagon shaped, we need a new one, so I was wondering where we could purchase one and the cost.
THANKYOU

You could always add water to the pool and then keep adding it through the winter if the pool liner hole is small and it doesn’t leak out to fast. Then you could patch it in the summer if the liner is still in good overall condition.

Its always best to change the liner in the warmer months. Doughboy pool liners are not the easiest to change for the average person. If you have never changed a pool liner you might want to hire a pool guy for a few bucks and save yourself some headaches.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Joseph

Hi, I think I have a whole in my liner, because, my water is practically gone from my pool. Why couldn’t this happen in the summer? I have an oval dough boy pool I think it’s 18 by 36 and 4 feet by 7 feet. Where can i find a replacement liner, and are simple to replace?

Hello Rebecca,

Yes, you can make the swimming pool deeper by digging it out and then that will be considered the “hopper” as we call it in the pool business.

You can buy an “expandable liner” that will expand in the center or the “hopper” area.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions.
