This is an in ground pool so, the repair would have to be from the top only, otherwise the cement would have t be torn up.

The obvious answer is a fiberglass patch. Roughen the surface around the crack, coat with resin mixed with hardener, apply the cloth, sand smooth and finish with a coat or two of resin/hardener. Normally you use woven glass cloth, but for this application, I would experiment with other synthetic fabrics first, to make sure the resin doesn’t dissolve them. A glass fiber patch and bare feet, doesn’t sound good to me. Properly applied, the cloth should be totally embedded in the resin, but I would feel safer, with soft cloth in case of a new break. Ideally a fiberglass patch would be repeated on the back side of the crack. multiple layers of cloth and resin my be applied.

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 against damage and injury claims and not maintenance issues. Having said that, how did your friend determine it appeared to be a suction line leak? Are you simply losing water from the pool? What kind of pool is it, gunite or fiberglas? Either could have developed a leak in the pool shell through which water is escaping. Check your local pool supply store for a leak test kit. Is there air in the system, visible through the sight glass on your pump reservoir? If so, open the system and check the seal under the sight glass. I’ve had to replace mine before. Check that there are no visible signs of leaks in any of the plumbing you can see. If none of that detects your problem, start looking around for any wet spots along the edge of the pool and between the pool and the equipment. If there is, you may have found your problem. I hope this helps. If not, you’ve done just about everything you can by yourself. After you’ve done all you can, try contacting a couple of pool service companies and compare charges to troubleshoot and fix your problem. Times are tough and many companies are willing to discount their rates or offer flat rates per job.

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 applied. The instructions for vinyl patches are all similar:
* Remove debris from area to repair
* Cut patch to an appropriate size, plus an inch or two of overlap making corners rounded
* If submerged, use googles
* Apply rubber cement to patch and/or edge of hole
* let set for a few minutes
* apply patch
* many hours to cure complete

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 in the off-season. What type/kind of patch can I use that can be applied under water and will stick well? I got some vinyl patches at my local pool store and they were crap, didn’t work well. Any kind of underwater paste, glue, patches, etc?
windancerhil: Thanks, so I will look around for an underwater repair kit from a different place. After I round out the corners and peel off the paper backing, should the patch be very sticky? Or does the water "activate" the glue and I have to rub the patch for a few minutes to work out the air/water to get it to stick? Any particular brand of type of vinyl repair kit I should be looking for? Thanks again.

I have used underwater vinyl patch kits for years and never had any problems. Perhaps the ones you got were old. Try again with a different source. Unless the leak is in a seam the patch should work. Just be sure to cut the piece your attaching in either a circle or oval shape (no square corners.)

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? Most covers will be warrantied for at least one full year against seam splitting and things of that nature. They will usually be pro-rated after that.

Normally you will get a fight if the grommets are pulled away: they will claim that it was from the cover being put on incorrectly. (The cover is supposed to rest on the water’s surface; they aren’t designed to support the weight of water on top of it.)

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 patch kit. they don’t cost that much and are pretty easy to apply. the catch is, you have to drain the pool down past the hole and let it set up for a day or two.

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 and get the other person to look and listen carefully or you can do what he said and get a bucket lol but if it don’t fit then do what i said good luck Hun
