How to glue a frame pool: tools and methods at home

Rules for the operation and storage of an inflatable pool

Any inflatable devices are stored and operated in compliance with the following rules:

Vinyl varieties are installed only on a flat, soft base, without height differences, protruding sharp objects. It is better to spread carpet, thick tarpaulin or foam rubber underneath.
The inflatable pool is for filling with water only. Otherwise, the service life may be shortened.
It is forbidden to sit down and stand on the sides, because they can deform and tear.
Do not fill the entire bowl to the brim, because water will pour out during bathing.
The inner surface is regularly cleaned of dirt, and only clean water is used to fill the bowl.
At the end of the season, the water is drained, the product is blown off, dried and stored folded in a warm room.

Rules for the use of a frame pool

Manufacturers give detailed recommendations on the use of products, but not everyone reads the instructions. There are several basic rules:

Install structures on a previously prepared site. There should be no sharp objects, grass roots, uneven ground in the installation area.
Do not use products for other purposes. This means that no sand is poured into the container, no "dry pool" is made - the bowl material may deteriorate.
Do not jump from heights or sides. For household containers up to 1.5 m deep, such jumps will be fatal. The bottom will break through, the user will be injured.
Maintain cleanliness. For washing the walls, special means and soft sponges are used, the water is disinfected with oxygen compounds "for the pool".
Disassemble after use. The frame systems are removed for storage strictly according to the instructions. The water is drained, the bottom, the walls are wiped from dirt. The material is dried, then a clean and dry bowl is rolled up, folded and stored in a cool, dark place.

Repair of the Intex pool at home

Inflatable or frame pool "Intex" can be repaired independently at home. For these purposes, the manufacturer applies an additional repair kit to the product itself, which allows consumers to engage in minor repairs.

How to find a leak?

In cases where the puncture is located on the wall of the bowl, it can be easily detected by the flow of water from the outside. But not in all situations everything is so obvious, because sometimes leaks are not in the bowl itself.

Various equipment works together with frame pools: pumps, filters and much more. There may be a leak in one of the filter or pump hoses, or in the area of the threaded connections.

If it was not possible to visually detect anything, then it is recommended to turn off all equipment for about 1-2 days and check the water level in the bowl. If it stays in the same place after a couple of days, then the leakage problem with 100% probability lies in some kind of device. To determine which one, you need to turn off the devices one by one, controlling which one leaks water when turned on.

How to close the leak?

Most often, it is not the equipment that is damaged, but the bowl material. If the puncture site was found, then first you need to drain all the water, dry the bowl. Next, you need to find the repair kit, which usually comes in the kit, working according to the instructions attached to it.

The repair kit includes:

Vinyl patches in different sizes.

Sealant (waterproof, heat resistant).

Vinyl glue.

If the puncture is small, barely noticeable, then to eliminate it, you need to use a sealant - there is no point in gluing a patch for miniature damage. If the puncture is of significant size, then it must be sealed with vinyl patches using waterproof glue - the sealant cannot cope with large damage.

It is strongly recommended not to save money and use two patches at once to seal the puncture - one is glued on the inside of the bowl, the other on the outside. The patch should be in the shape of a circle or oval, because if there are corners, the patch will flake off, because they are influenced by the processes of movement of water flows.

Both internal and external patches must be treated with waterproof glue.

It is important that no air bubbles form in the connection area. It is very good if you can press the patches as tightly as possible.

The bonding site should be under pressure for 12-24 hours (at least).

Masking the glued area

It is not necessary to mask the place of the defect if a patch was used made of transparent material or matched to the color.

In all other cases, you can use the following methods of decorating the sealed area:

using a waterproof marker at the repair site, draw any image;
if it is decided to paint over the defect, then waterproof elastic paints are used;
the easiest way is to immediately glue the patch in the form of an animal, sun or flower;
on small models, you can put on a decorative cover that will hide the place of the defect and additionally protect against the appearance of new damage.

How to glue the frame pool

Leaks from frame pools are extremely unpleasant, since such a large container filled with water can cause a real flood in the yard and in all adjacent areas.

Nevertheless, the worst is not even this, but the deterioration of the water body itself, its unsuitability for further use.

Usually, in these cases, it is recommended to call specialists who are professionally involved in the restoration of frame water structures. If this is not possible, you can try to repair the pool yourself.

There is nothing impossible about sticking it up. However, it is necessary to take into account certain rules and principles that apply to the corresponding structures.

Only by carrying out all operations with the utmost care, precision and in full accordance with the instructions, it is possible to achieve high-quality results, to ensure that the pool remains intact for maximum periods of time.

Most effective approaches

Many masters agree that the most difficult moment is not the elimination of the leak itself, but its search. The gap is not always visible immediately, while a wet spreading puddle often simply forms under the pool.

Considering that the volume of water contained in it can be quite solid, it is advisable to carry out repairs as soon as possible.

There is no need to purchase glue and finishing materials separately. Currently, there are ready-made kits that include everything you need to repair structures or seal waterproof fabrics.

In particular, it is best to purchase a kit that is sold in fishing departments or a specialized kit for repairing pools in the respective stores.

In particular, each set is completed with repair salaries that work even directly on the water.

It is not enough just to cut the patch to the required size for overlaying. The main function remains to close the hole that allows water to pass through.

Even if it was not possible to obtain a specialized patch, a piece of rather dense and flexible PVC material, which is used for sewing inflatable boats, will do.In particular, you can buy a PVC boat pillow and cut it into patches.

It is quite possible to use other adhesives that have no less adhesion reliability than the presented cold welding.

Among the options available for purchase, it is worth noting the Moment rubber glue, which is distinguished by its excellent compatibility with hard and foamed types of rubber.

This provides the most durable elastic connection, which is especially important for the restoration of the structure of pools. The creation of waterproof seams is the main function of this type of glue.

It is worth noting that in home repairs, this type of sealant is quite convenient, and at the same time inexpensive.

The creation of waterproof seams is the main function of this type of glue. It should be noted that in home repairs, this type of sealant is quite convenient, and at the same time inexpensive.

An alternative is to use a tap sealant. It fills holes and crevices perfectly.

Its advantages include excellent resistance to a wide variety of environmental influences. Separately, it is worth noting its high resistance to ultraviolet light, which will be extremely useful, given that pools of this type are mounted outdoors.

Another option for closing the gap is to use bituminous aluminum tape.

The material is primarily intended for gluing roofing materials, however, its high adhesion rates and stability, even in the case of solid pressure from the inside, made it applicable.

High resistance to moisture and excellent sealing offers significant advantages in repairs.

Quality improvement factors

If you choose to use hot melt adhesives or other bonding materials, it is advisable to take care in advance of the availability of an industrial or just a high-temperature hair dryer.

In addition, the surfaces to be glued must be subjected to sufficiently serious mechanical stress, squeeze adjacent parts and fixed in a specific position.

The surfaces are thoroughly degreased before gluing, regardless of the selected joining method. Bonding will be most reliable and stable if you take care of applying the appropriate patches on both sides.

Prevention methods for cuts and punctures

Of course, everyone dreams that his inflatable pool was:

environmentally friendly;
durable;
sealed;
reliable;
convenient.

Before buying, we get acquainted with the instruction manual, where all the nuances of using the pool are spelled out. But we don't always listen to advice. Avoid contact of the pool surface with:

piercing objects;
cutting;
sharp;
branches and twigs;
pens and pencils.

To do this, the pool should be located away from all branches and construction equipment on a flat sand cushion - without branches and debris. Do not give children any sharp or pointed objects (it could even be a Spiderman or Transformer toy) when they are swimming in the pool.

The pool should be filled in accordance with its parameters and instructions. With an excessive amount of water, defects in the form of divergence of the pool seams can also occur. And the distance from the barbecue area will ensure that the spark does not hit your pool and make it completely unusable.

Puncture prevention methods in swimming pools

The precautions are simple:

The platforms for the bowls are cleaned of debris, sharp objects, branches and stumps. To prevent punctures, the place is lined with thick soft material or concreted.
Do not allow dogs, cats into bowls, protect sides and walls from birds.
When inflating, they leave free space without completely inflating the structure. This is to reduce the stress on the seams.When heated, the air expands, and if there is no free space, the pressure will break through the seams.
The water is regularly drained. The longer the pool is filled in the heat, the faster the walls and joint zones are deformed.

And, of course, the container is not used for jumping into the water from a height. The depth of household bowls is not enough for such exercises. It is not recommended to overload the hot tub - each design is designed for a certain number of people. Outnumbered, bathers run the risk of tearing the sides of the pool.

How to seal an inflatable pool?

The thin flexible plastic from which the bowl is made can withstand heat and rain, but is defenseless against sharp objects. If this is a font for children, the question of how to seal the children's pool does not arise.

The algorithm is simple:

water is poured from the bowl, the puncture is repaired with a patch smeared with glue;
apply a patch on both sides;
dry the glue for 24 hours under pressure;
start the water.

Volumetric structures are repaired in the same way, but with minor nuances.

Using the repair kit

Not all manufacturers come with a repair kit. If there is such a box, it will contain material for patches or several ready-made patches with an adhesive base, a tube of glue, pieces of material.

How to seal an inflatable pool:

Mark the puncture with a marker from the outside. If there is a hole in the bottom, mark it with a waterproof marker from the inside.
Drain the water. The bowl is dried or wiped dry.
The puncture site is treated with a cotton swab with alcohol, dried.
Remove the protective paper from the finished patch, apply the glue side to the gap, press it. If the material and glue are separate, cut out a patch larger than the gap, smear one side of the fabric with glue, apply glue to the base (pool) and press the patch.
A load is placed at the place of repair. Withstand 24 hours.

Some masters give advice on how to glue the pool with water from the inside for a long time. But with an inflatable structure, the recommendation only works in one case - a home specialist has an expensive adhesive tape for car tires.

Quick repair with plaster or tape

Patches made of plaster or stationery tape are used only in emergency cases. For example, when the water drainage system is not ready, and the pool is punctured. Regular plaster and cheap scotch tape will not help, take strong adhesive tape, it is thicker than standard tape, and a plaster on a roll.

If a children's pool is torn, water is quickly drained from it, the hole is sealed with a plaster, cutting off a larger piece. They are glued outside and inside. After that, the structure will last another 4-5 hours, since the volume of water in it is small.

Curing

The rubber pool can be easily repaired at the car service. Cold vulcanization is a process using a patch with an adhesive base. The base is first prepared - degreased, cleaned, dried. Then a piece of special adhesive tape is applied, and time is allowed to dry.

Patch with waterproof glue

Pools are made of rubberized fabric, vinyl or polystyrene. The patch is selected from a similar material. For example, take an old inflatable mattress, circle or children's toy. Moment waterproof glue is used as an adhesive. The repair process is simple - a piece of material is cut out, the reverse side and the place of the defect are smeared with glue, applied, pressed. Dry the patch under pressure within 24 hours.

Before starting work, the defect area is dried, degreased with alcohol and cleaned with fine emery. If the question arises of how to seal the inflatable pool along the seam, take a patch with an adhesive base and separately rubber waterproof glue Moment.

Do this:

the prepared surface is coated with glue;
the edges of the seam are aligned, pressed;
a patch is glued on top, pressed;
a similar procedure is carried out from the inside so that the seam is patched on both sides.

After that, oppression is placed on the repair zone, allowed to dry for at least a day. The rubber glue dries slowly, but the result is excellent.The composition does not tighten the seam when the pool is inflated and filled with water.

Diagnostics

So, you have noticed that the water level in the pool is dropping rapidly. Before starting repair work, you must make sure that the tank is indeed damaged. The thing is that under the influence of direct sunlight, water tends to evaporate.

There are several methods that can be used to determine if there is a puncture in the inflatable pool:

cover the reservoir with soapy water - if there is a puncture, air will escape at its location;
place the inflated pool in a container of water and carefully watch where the bubbles will appear;
try to hear with your ears where the pool is letting in.

Several steps must be taken to verify that the structure of the scaffold tank is damaged.

Visually inspect the structure - walls and bottom.
If the inspection did not give any results, and the puncture was not visually detected, you will need, for example, a bucket of water. A container with water should be placed next to the pool, which is also filled with liquid. And after 24 hours at least see if the water level has changed both in the bucket and in the pool. If the water in the tank remains at the same level, and its amount in the tank has decreased, there is only one conclusion - the pool structure is damaged.

If it has been determined that the frame pool is leaking, you need to find that leak. In the frame structure, the following can occur:

filter gasket;
the place where the pipe connects to the slag separator;
bowl;
bottom.

To find the leak in the first two cases, a special coloring pigment will help, which

detects a hole by reacting to increased water flow.

To find a puncture on the walls of the structure, it must be examined in detail. There will most likely be water on the outside. If the bottom of the tank is damaged, dirt will accumulate at the puncture site.

And also after finding a puncture, you need to diagnose the nature and size of the damage, this will help determine the materials for repair.

How to glue a frame pool?

Now let's figure out how to glue the frame pool. The easiest way is to repair the frame model using a special repair kit, which contains instructions for use. If a large hole has formed in the pool, then specialists are attracted to repair it, because it will not be possible to eliminate the defect on its own.

Identifying the location of the water leak and the cause

Before you glue the frame pool at home, you need to identify the location of the defect. To make sure that water leaves the container due to a defect in the walls, and not due to natural evaporation, do the following:

on the side of the pool mark the water level with a waterproof marker;
water is also collected in a separate basin and a similar mark is made;
every other day, at the mark in each container, check how much the level has dropped;
if there is the same distance from the notch to the surface of the water in both containers, then the moisture evaporates naturally;
if the water level in the frame model is lower than in the basin, then there is a leak.

Liquid leakage is not always associated with wall damage. Sometimes this happens when the supply pipe system is leaking.

Therefore, it is important to monitor the liquid level throughout the day, and periodically start and stop the pump, each time measuring the fullness of the bowl. If during the operation of the pump the liquid decreases, that is, there are problems with the pipeline

If the leak occurs after the pump is turned off, then there is a problem with the bowl.

Sometimes the cause of the leak is related to the drain valve. Leaking gasket will cause fluid to leak. To solve the problem, it is enough to change the gasket, tighten the valve more tightly. If there is a thicket leakage, then the place of the defect is easy to find by the following signs:

debris always accumulates near the hole in the bottom;
to find a puncture in the wall, food coloring is added to the water and the direction of movement of the colored liquid is observed.

Repair of a frame pool with water

Now let's figure out how to glue the pool with water from the inside. Of course, the most difficult thing to repair a product is without draining the water. But this method is convenient in that you do not need to drain a large amount of water, and its disadvantage is the fragility of the patch. The only way to repair without draining the fluid is to patch on both sides.

To do this, use special adhesive repair kits sold in sports stores. Basically, it is a tape smeared on one side with a waterproof adhesive mixture. To repair the walls of the bowl, you need to cut off the desired piece from the tape, remove the protective coating and glue the patch to the place of the defect, first from the inside of the bowl, and then from the outside. The reinforced adhesive strip will provide reliable protection against leaks in the future, and even when glued under water.

Puncture prevention

Regular inspection of your home pool will make it possible to monitor its condition. There are rules, following which, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of puncture or breakage:

Do not use sharp objects when installing and operating the pool.
Do not place the water tank under trees, bushes, or on rocky surfaces.
When exposed to direct sunlight, the pressure in the air chambers increases, which can lead to rupture or damage to the product. Do not expose the inflatable pool to the sun.
The special film used during the installation of the pool will help preserve its integrity.
Do not let animals enter the pond - they can ruin the body with claws or teeth.

In most cases, you can repair a leak in an inflatable pool yourself. And only in case of particularly complex damage, it is necessary to involve professionals.

How to glue a frame pool

It can be difficult to find a leakage zone in a frame container. The coloring pigment helps to establish the movement of water flow. If the bottom is damaged, an increased accumulation of contaminants begins around the hole. How to glue the frame pool and return the container to working condition?

Method number 1

It is necessary to start repairs after establishing the place of the defect by freeing the tank from water. If you have a ready-made repair kit (sold with the pool), you can proceed according to the attached instructions. The set must include:

Minor punctures are repaired with an airtight mixture. Significant damage must be sealed with a special film or pieces of polyvinyl chloride. The place for repair should be dried, degreased from the outside of the container. Prepare two patches: stick one on the inside, the other on the outside.

It is imperative to cover both patches with fixing glue, the breakout point is outside the pool

After joining the sides, it is important to avoid air bubbles and to ensure that the edges are pressed firmly. Dry the sealed place under pressure for at least 12 hours

Method number 2

There are special kits that allow you to seal the hole in the pool without draining the water. The application of the method is effective, provided that the puncture is accurately determined.

The kit should contain self-adhesive underwater patches. First, you need to prepare one for fixing from the inside, then the other - on a dry area outside. Then apply glue on them and bend the waterproof patch in half for 3 minutes. This is followed by fastening on both sides of the damaged area.

The question often arises whether it is possible to glue a frame pool only from the inside. It should be noted that the method without draining the water is considered a temporary repair. If you use only one patch on the inside, then the life of the container will be even shorter.

There is one more way, it is quite original. Watch the video:

It is advisable for owners to protect their reservoirs from careless damage, to ensure reliable operation. But high-quality do-it-yourself repairs can also extend the life of products and ensure a comfortable stay.

When it’s summer outside and the thermometer shows maximum values, almost everyone wants to freshen up in cool water, but not everyone can afford the arrangement and maintenance of a stationary reservoir in their area.

An excellent alternative would be an inflatable or frame pool, which is easy to install, operate and repair yourself. However, such a device is not as durable as it seems at first glance. It can be accidentally pierced with something sharp, cut on a sharp stone, or otherwise damaged. How to glue an inflatable pool and repair a frame?

Helpful hints

Having studied the experience of those who have been using inflatable pools for a long time, we have highlighted several important tips. Let's share them with you:

Do not use solvents as degreasing agents, especially those based on acetone. They greatly soften the fabric, render it unusable. After you draw in water, swellings will appear on the solvent-treated parts of the product, which will quickly burst;
in almost all methods of gluing punctures or cuts, it is recommended to rub the damaged areas of the fabric with sandpaper for better adhesion. In the case when the pool is made of a soft, thin material, it is better not to do this, you can damage the product even more. In the case when the material is dense, you can lightly comb out with sandpaper only that area of the fabric that will be completely covered with a patch;

so that the material from which the pool is made does not deteriorate as long as possible, store it at home, at above-zero temperatures, avoiding sudden changes. The fabric can be damaged by mice, put the box with the product in a safe place where rodents cannot reach;
the black patch from the bicycle tube spoils the view of the pool. In specialized stores you can find patches made of durable materials with original designs;
You can qualitatively seal the hole using a set for cold vulcanization of chambers. The pool is placed on a flat surface, the place of damage is wiped with vinegar. Remove the protective film from the patch, apply the sticky side to the pool wall, put pressure on, leave it for 10-12 hours.

Careful, careful use will guarantee the longevity of even the most inexpensive pool. Do not ignore the rules of operation and in no case do not delay the repair of various kinds of damage.

Prophylaxis

To avoid the formation of leaks, the pool should be handled with care. Children with sharp edges should not be used and pets with sharp claws should not be allowed in inflatable pools.

Maintain the pool manufacturer's specified winter storage conditions. Before storage, the container must be well dried, carefully folded without creases and packed in a durable material that mice cannot gnaw through.

The glued patch needs regular inspection. If there is a gradual flaking of the edges, you need to pick up the day and carry out the gluing. If this is not done in time, the patch may come off.

How to locate a leak

Owners of Intex pools sound the alarm when they see that the volume of water in the tank decreases. It is necessary to analyze the cause of the phenomenon and exclude the possibility of splashing water outside the container and natural evaporation in hot weather.

To check for what reason the water volume decreases, use the methods:

comparison of the volume of water in the pool and another container. To do this, mark the frame or inflatable wall when it is full. Ask your family not to spray water when bathing. A bucket of water is installed next to the container, in which the level is also marked.If during the day the volume of water in a large and small container has decreased proportionally, this is a natural evaporation of moisture and you should not worry;
limiting the use of the pool during the day and covering it with sealed material. The water level is marked on the inner wall. For this method, you can use an awning or shield that tightly closes the top of the container. Natural evaporation of water will not occur and in the absence of leaks, the water should be in full.

If the Intex pool is located on a level surface, and not on grass, water on its surface may indicate a leak. It is necessary to check with loved ones if anyone has used the pool and splashed water. Prevent the possibility of fluid leaking through hoses or other devices connected to the pool tank.

You can determine a leak at the bottom of the pool by the accumulation of sand or other small particles around it.

How to seal the pool

1. Determine the location of the leak

To patch up a leaky place, the first thing to do is to find it. If a hole or cut is on the side of the pool, it will be visible from the flowing water. A puncture at the bottom can be identified by debris accumulating in its area.

In an inflatable pool, leaks can be easily detected by air bubbles if you lubricate the walls with foamed detergent or shampoo. You will have to drain the water from the frame pool and carefully examine it for damage.

2. Clean and degrease the surface

Place the patch over the leak and trace with a marker. Clean and rub the bonding area with fine sandpaper. Then degrease the area and the patch with alcohol, gasoline, or other solvent.

3. Cover the hole

Apply glue and a patch to the damaged area. Wait 5-10 minutes, then press firmly on the flap with your hands or roll it with a thick glass bottle like a rolling pin. Wait for the glue to dry according to the instructions - usually 2 to 12 hours.

If you are using a liquid patch, just apply it to the damaged area with a thick layer and leave for 1-2 days. In case of a cut larger than 3 cm, pre-sew the PVC edges with threads for a secure connection.

We glue the frame pool Intex

The first thing to do is find the leak. Water does not always decrease due to defects in the bowl or bottom.

It can evaporate or leak due to a defective gasket in the filtration system.

If such options are excluded, then it is recommended to drain the water and carefully inspect the pool surface.

There are other, faster ways to find damage:

Purchase a special color pigment. This substance is used to check the health of artificial reservoirs. It will help you quickly find a place with a defect.
It is better to start searching for damage to the bowl with the valve in the drain part. Also, water often appears outside the pool, getting there through small cracks.
At the bottom, the accumulation of dirt (silt) around the defect will help to find a leak.

When the damage is found, we proceed to its elimination.

Degrease the surface at the leak.
We put glue on two patches - one will be on the outside, and the other on the inside. We apply them to the place of damage.

If a leak is found in the bowl, it is imperative to drain the water from the pool, since the surface under the patch must be dry. We glue the bowl by applying a patch with glue applied to it on the cut.

We repair the bottom of the frame pool in the same way as the bowl.

We roll the surface and heat the patches applied to the place of the defect with a hairdryer. From above, if we are repairing the bottom, we press down with a heavy object, for example, bricks. Leave to dry for a day.

Regardless of which method you choose - with or without heating the patch, the place of gluing should never be sanded - this will lead to the appearance of new damage.

Is it possible to repair a frame pool without draining the water

If you do not want to drain the water, you can try to repair the pool directly with water.

To do this, we buy Intex self-adhesive underwater repair patches and press them to the defective spot on the inside. We hold the patch for a minute.

Then we glue another patch dry from the back side.

Unfortunately, this technique will only provide a temporary result, and the pool may leak again.

Useful Tips

In practice, Intex ready-made repair kits have proven the most effective - this option is more preferable for high-quality repairs.
If the cracks are very small and you don't feel like messing around, try sealing them with a sealant. With impressive holes, a patch is still indispensable.
Be careful when operating the pool.

If you cannot solve the problem yourself, contact a specialized company for help.

Repair of frame structures

The pool frame is a rigid metal structure that gives it stability, strength and perfectly keeps its shape. The material of the bowl can be different: often used PVC film for the pool and three-layer vinyl in combination with polyester. The main difference between frame pools is the absence of inflatable elements.

It is allowed to make home repairs of frame pools, but it is better to turn to professionals. A medium-sized frame pool has a volume of approximately 6 tons. If the location of the damage is determined inaccurately, then the drainage of water will be unjustified.

Why is the water decreasing

Before gluing the surfaces, you need to find the location of the hole. Sometimes evaporation rather than leakage is the cause of a decrease in pool water level. You can check this as follows:

Secure the water container to the frame tank, leaving a small gap up to the edge.
Record the liquid level (inside and outside) with a marker.
After 24 hours, compare the markings in the pool and tank.
Draw conclusions about the reasons for the decrease in water.

On a note! If the mark in the pool is lower than in the bucket, the fault is a leak. If the levels coincide, then the water decreases due to evaporation.

Determining the cause of the leak

To determine the location of the puncture, it is necessary to record the water level indicators for 24 hours with the pumping unit turned on and off. Then compare the results. The puncture site is in the pipeline system if the water quickly decreases with the filter in operation. If the values are the same, the source of the leak is damage to the pool shell.

Also, the reason for the decrease in the water level in the tank may be:

leakage of the gasket in the filtration system;
puncture of the part of the pipeline working for water suction;
malfunction of the valve located in the drain part.

Damage located at the bottom of the pool is accompanied by the accumulation of debris and dirt around the leak. For an accurate diagnosis and repair of the tank bowl, it is necessary to drain it.

Repair technology

In order to repair damage using a repair kit, you need:

Mark the hole with a marker.
Degrease the surface with an alcohol-based substance.
Sand the edge of the damage with minimum abrasive paper (for rubber surfaces).
Apply a thin layer of waterproof adhesive to the vinyl patch and adhere it to the surface of the damaged product. For a stronger adhesion of materials, you need to apply force when gluing.
Place the repair site under a press or press down with a heavy object.
Dry for at least 24 hours.

On a note! After removing the flaws, the reservoir should not leak.

Repair under water

To avoid draining the liquid from the frame pool, it is necessary to accurately determine the location of the puncture. To remove defects in filled tanks, repair kits are used, which include special materials for internal and external use and a sealant. It is necessary to stick the patches on both sides of the pool.Thanks to the adhesive waterproof composition, it is quite easy to fix the flaw, knowing its location.
