This pool liner pad goes under an above-ground swimming pool or hot tub. It is made from thick black industrial-grade geotextile fibers, a blend of polyester, acrylic and cotton. The pad protects the pool liner from punctures, tears and abrasion caused by sharp objects or rough ground, and it blocks light completely.
The pad is water-permeable and non-slip, so moisture passes through it. It also works as a vapor barrier that helps keep water from corroding the metal parts of steel-walled pools. It offers only slight floor cushioning, less than a sponge pad.
It comes precut in round sizes and can be trimmed to fit oval or irregular pools. To install it, lay down a sand barrier, place the pad flat, and build the pool on top. For a hot tub, place it flat underneath. To clean it, scrub with soap or rinse with a hose. Do not use bleach. Let it dry before storing.
