Odd Sized Esther Williams Pool Liner

by Kevin

I purchased a 21' x 48" AG liner made specifically for our Esther Williams pool. After installation, we noticed almost 2 full feet of extra liner where the bead attaches to the bead track. Are there odd sizes for Esther Williams pools even though they say they are 21'.



Hi Kevin. I have not had that much experience with Esther Williams pools but I thought they were pretty much all odd sizes.

I would first measure the pool very carefully. Measure from wall, just under the rail, across the pool to the same location on the wall. Do this at several locations. If it measures close to 21' you probably have the right size liner.

All twenty one foot beaded liners are not all the same size, you may just have a large one. You might try removing the liner from the bead and reinstalling it. This time you would need to bunch the liner up as you go. It's so easy to pull the liner to tight when putting it into the receiver, coming up with extra liner is pretty common.

In warm, direct, sunlight the liner should push back easily as you are installing it. It may take a few tries to get it to come out just right at the end, but it can usually be done.
