Today's episode is a candid conversation at the Water Garden Expo between Eric Triplett and Jim Nicholson from BTL Liners. Eric explores his misconceptions about BTL, initially associating them only with large-scale liner projects. Jim clarifies that while BTL is known for its large custom fabrications using reinforced polyethylene, they also cater to smaller applications and offer other liner types like EPDM. The discussion covers BTL's history, product variety including drop-in liners, installation techniques, puncture resistance comparisons between different materials, common contractor mistakes in measuring liners, and the company's focus on customer service and technical support.
