We have a vinyl liner with a ceramic tile border above the liner. The water/skimmer level is above the liner track, about 2 inches up the ceramic tile. Is it possible to install a vinyl liner that has a “J-hook” style bead into this liner track and not have leaks when filled to the appropriate skimmer level?
No, the only type of liner track that will work with the tru-tile system is the tru-tile specific bead and locking strip that is manufactured by Latham Industries.
