Pool liners can sometimes be reused if they're in good condition, less than 5 years old, and removed carefully without tears or significant stretching. However, reusing liners carries risks and often isn't cost-effective.
Most inground pools don't need liners - concrete/gunite and fiberglass pools have built-in surfaces. Only vinyl inground pools require liners, which need replacement every 8-12 years.
Pool chlorine can clean concrete when properly diluted (1:10 ratio), but muriatic acid or specialized concrete cleaners are safer and more effective options for most concrete cleaning tasks.
Pool algae is typically green, but white growths in pools are usually white water mold, pink slime bacteria, or biofilms rather than true algae. These require similar shock treatment but may need additional scrubbing and filtration.
