Vermiculite Swimming Pool Base? What You Need To Know

The majority of vinyl liner inground pools are built with a vermiculite pool base. Vermiculite is a clay-like substance that hardens into a cement-like substance when combined with water.

Common Problems With Older Vermiculite Pool Bases:

  • Pitting/crumbling
  • Cracking
  • Surface Erosion
  • Soft spots
  • Washout after a leak

Why Vermiculite Matters During Vinyl Liner Replacements

Your pool liner can only look as good as the base below it. If the vermiculite base is uneven or damaged, you run the risk of encountering:

  • Visible floor bumps
  • Wrinkles
  • Liner wear spots
  • Shortened liner lifespan

Royal Pools G2 can repair or completely resurface your vermiculite base so your new liner sits perfectly smooth. Check out this article for more information.

Signs That You Need A New Vinyl Liner

Homeowners usually contact us when they notice:

1. Fading or Bleaching

Improper chemical maintenance, UV damage, and age cause patterns to fade or wash out.

2. Rips, Tears, or Holes

Small tears can transform into major leaks if ignored.

3. Liner Wrinkles

Caused by water chemistry imbalance, ground water pressure, liner age, or an improperly measured liner.

4. Water Loss or Higher Bills

If you’re refilling your pool weekly, you may have a liner or plumbing leak.

5. Liner Pulling Away From Coping

A sign of liner shrinkage or age-related elasticity loss.

6. Stains or Discoloration

Wrinkling, chemical imbalance, and UV exposure can lead to staining over time.

If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time for a professional assessment.
