Beaded Liner Keeps Coming Out

What would cause a beaded liner to keep coming out of the bead receiver year after year? We put bead lock in there but it also comes out.



Hi. That's one of the reasons I am not a big fan of beaded liners. There is know cure that I know of. The liner needs to stretch more on the sides but a used liner will seldom do that. You could drain it about half way and try refilling in direct sunlight, maybe loosening the liner up enough to stretch a little.

It's probably just time for a new liner and hopefully one that is cut slightly larger. You might also inspect the receivers and replace them if they look bad. Some are not replaceable and some never go bad, it's just something to check.

Another problem I have with beaded liners is the inconsistent fit, no two liners will be the same. Some are loose and baggy while others are to small and tend to pull out on a regular basis.



For above ground pools I would much prefer an overlap liner and anytime I have a chance to convert a beaded to an overlap I do. The only reason for a beaded liner would be in cases where the top rail is covered by a deck so they cannot be removed. If the top rails are removable I would go with an overlap liner.

Here is case where a beaded liner was needed.
