I live in Florida, and my pool is leaking. A friend looked at it and said it looks like a suction line leak, and would be pretty expensive to fix, since they would have to dig up my yard to fix it. I wonder if my home insurance will cover it?
The quickest way to know will be to contact you insurance agent. He/she will know what type of policy you bought and the coverage limits. My personal opinion is that type of repair is not covered. Almost all homeowners insurance offers indemnity [...] Continue Reading…

i have a metal frame/above ground pool that i put up yesterday and noticed that it had a bunch of holes in it from being stored for like 3 years. I found my pool repair kit but it has no instructions in it. It has 2 sheets of pool lining, 1 smooth, 1 rough, and 1 extra clear smooth sheet and a tube of rubber cement….any suggestions on how to use it?
I haven’t found any repair kits with a variety of patch textures. I’m guessing, but I think it’s meant to match the texture of the area being [...] Continue Reading…

I have a 4 foot above ground pool, and a very wet corner of my backyard, I believe I have located the slow leak. There’s an area where the sidewall meets the bottom, where the sand seems to have been washed away or compressed, about the size of a softball. I put on my scuba gear for a longer/closer look and it looks like (because of the depression) the liner has been stretched very thin and is seeping. I’d like to make it thru the summer so then I can empty it and replace the liner [...] Continue Reading…

They are leaking water – They for my pool heating system – they are on top of the roof of my house. They appear to be a black rubber material
Thank you all yery much!
prayer probably won’t work, but then you didn’t explain what is wrong.

I just filled my pool to find a crack all the way down the side of my skimmer. Can I repair it with something like J.B. Weld?
Get it completely dry, clean it well with some alcohol and you can get some PVC cement used for sealing plastic gutters at the home store. This will essentially weld it back together. Put it on pretty thick.

Epoxy putty might work as suggested below, eventually it will harden and come off. It would be perfect to put it over a cured PVC chemical weld.

I just bought the cover/tarp for my 21 foot above ground pool last year and it ripped over the winter. There is about a 2 foot tear along a seam in the tarp. Any ideas on how to repair this so it wont tear again?
Thanks
Most pool supply stores carry a winter cover tape specifically for this purpose (it’ll stay flexible and in better shape for longer than duct tape will). Make sure the cover is clean and dry on both sides, and use the tape on both sides.
Is there any warranty on the cover? [...] Continue Reading…

I have a pool that has a fiberglass liner three feet down and then a vinyl liner below that. The vinyl portion was storm damaged last year, and now you can see the dirt and the debris below. Can guynite or concrete be blown in there and repair it without having to go back to vinyl, and without having to rebuild the pool from the ground up?
if you wanted to go to guynite or concrete, all the filtration system would have to be resealed. if the hole isn’t too big (more than 2 feet) you can get a [...] Continue Reading…

I have a bestway paddling pool and I have to pump up the top ring with air. However, the ring keeps deflating, so obviously there is a puncture, but I can’t find it. Does anybody know any ways to find and repair this ‘invisible’ puncture?
Thank you in advance!
it takes 2 people just get the whole ring wet and get the other person to check for a hissing noise caused by the water and air combining together then that’s where the hole is if its a small hole like you said then you will need to squeeze the ring [...] Continue Reading…

We have a three inch (or so) slit on the bottom of our pool. We just cleaned it up and drained it almost all the way, and believe the slit is from the weights we put in. Is there any way we can patch the hole (even just for the winter) without draining it again?

(Please answer from experience or profession, not assumption)
i dont know where you are at please email me at jldailey@yahoo.com i know of a pool company who does this

I recently sliced a swimming pool cover, very clean cut about 18 inches long. Will I be able to repair this?
the material is a tough venial, I’m hopping the company will send a piece that matches color and some glue, it’s not my pool!
Yes, if it’s what’s called a poly tarp cover. There are self adhesive patch kits available for them, but you may need two. I’ve only seen them come in 11 inches by 8. The cover needs to be clean and dry for them to work. They come in a clear colour, so will match green, [...] Continue Reading…
