Know before you buy
Yes, the 1/8-inch closed-cell foam acts as an insulator between the pool water and the metal wall. This helps retain heat, which can reduce your overall heating costs throughout the season.
The foam creates a smooth, cushioned barrier between the liner and the pool wall. This prevents the liner from coming into direct contact with rust, corrosion, or sharp imperfections on the metal wall, significantly extending the life of your liner.
Installation involves applying an adhesive directly to the pool walls and pressing the foam into place. While it is a straightforward process, it is best performed during a liner replacement when the pool walls are fully exposed.
It helps by covering surface imperfections and seams on the pool wall where algae typically hide and thrive. By creating a smooth, uniform surface, it eliminates the small crevices that are difficult to clean.
This foam is designed specifically for above-ground pools with metal walls. It is an excellent addition for both new installations and when you are replacing an existing liner.
