How Ont. day camp found solution in weld-in-place membrane liners

Hope Valley Day Camp in Ontario faced persistent pool liner failures due to heavy seasonal use with a traditional 28 mil vinyl liner. To address frequent replacements and durability issues, the facility chose a commercial‑grade, 60 mil weld‑in‑place PVC membrane liner system. This thicker membrane provides a fully watertight surface that is custom welded on‑site to the pool’s dimensions, improving longevity and eliminating frequent liner changes. The system includes a geotextile underlay for added comfort and can incorporate slip‑resistant options in critical areas like steps and shallow zones to enhance safety. Featured solutions such as the Infinity Pool Surface membrane offer robust waterproofing, ease of renovation over existing finishes, and long‑term performance suitable for high‑traffic aquatic environments. The renovated pool reopened on schedule with improved safety, durability, and reduced maintenance demands—demonstrating the effectiveness of reinforced PVC membrane systems for commercial pool applications.
