great job as always Chris, i learn ALOT from you.
Thank you, Charles! I really appreciate it!
Excellent!
I have tear on my seem in the corner on my pool! your video was very helpful!
Thank you Marti for your feedback! Did you patch it already?
Good Video, thanks for the information
Thank you Frank, I really appreciate your feedback. Do you have any pool issue that I can help with? Feel free to ask anything!

How old would the above ground liner be before you just had the liner replaced? I have 2 vertical tears near the pool corner. When I broke through ice to pump water out. The ice ripped the liner about 2-3 feet.
Hi Fred, the average life of vinyl liner for above ground pools is 7-10years. Depending the the sun exposure time maintenance etc. I might be able to advise you if you can repair the liner if you could send me a picture of the tear. Though 2-3 ft rear is more likely not to be repairable unless it's on the bottom of the pool and have a good support. Is it on the bottom or wall of the pool?
Can you give me a hint of a replacement l, if i dont have a patch available for big size holes?
Thank you!😢
You can ask your local pool stores for liner samples. Do you have a big repair to perform?
I have a round 10'x30" above ground Intex and I discovered a sharp edge protruding at the bottom of the pool. It's probably a small rock but I dont want it to break the liner. Is there a way to push that rock back into the dirt without breaking the pool or do I have to drain the pool just because of that rock? Thank you for any help provided
Hi A. Super, you definitely don't need to waste any water. How big is the rock? It it is not big enough you can simply patch it for extra support.
Hi A. Super happy holidays. This video may help you to identify tiny holes in the liner.

I went to Ace hardware and bought all my utensils that I need patches glues and accessories I will be doing it during the week and I will inform you on progress 👍
Ace hardware also had the 18x18 patch but my cut was a little bigger so I needed two 18x18 but I think I got it I'll let you know 😎
I'm trying to patch the inside and it's outside it is an above ground pool but I want to make sure that it sticks
@@ThePauprinceaz09 What is the size of the hole/tear and where is it located?
@@poolleakdetectionllc
The size of the tear it's about a foot a foot and a half long and it is towards the base of the pool on the ground
Chris…we have been having problems with our inground pool vinyl liner coming out of the track. Pool inadvertently emptied while cover during the winter and seems to have lost flexibility. We have tried all the tricks trying to keep it in the track one we get it up there but once we start filling with water the tension/pressure makes it come undone again :( we tried to order a new liner but they told us that with the way things are nowadays we would get in 12 weeks which puts us out of summer.
Do you think it would be worth it to try to cut the liner and add an extension piece on the area where there is so much tension or do you think is crazy and wouldn’t work? Do you have any other suggestions? At this point esthetics are not important…We are desperate to make it work and try to save pool season for the kids.Thank you in advance!

Do you have any advice on patching an inground pool liner around the top corners. My liner needs to be replaced, but i'm attempting to fix the corner tears for a temp fix. Thanks!
Hi Nick, what is the size of the hole/tear? Also is it horizontal/parallel with the deck or vertically?
@@poolleakdetectionllc it runs horizontally along the corner of the pool liner. One of the tears is about 48 inches wide and 16 inches tall. The other is similar but about 24 inches wide and 8 inches tall. I’ve purchased liner material and hh-66. I know it likely will not be clean or long lasting fix. I’ve cut out some of the spots that were brittle or hanging. Any help is appreciated. I’d be happy to send pics if you have an email address to share. Thanks for the reply

Also can you make patches from an old pool liner?
Sure you can. Just make sure the patch is in a good condition. How old it the liner?
Hi Chris, good name first off. I have a very small hole in my liner and tried to patch it using a patch kit from my pool shop. I have roughly done it and it has stopped leaking. My problem was the material that came with it was very flimsy and when i applied the glue it curled up and was hard to place down under water smoothly. Do you recommend a product to use? Also what is the gorilla tape waterproof product like for small holes?
Hi Chris, I apologize for the late response. I wouldn't recomment you to use a gorilla tape or the clear patches. Those are just for a temporary repair. You can ask from your local pool shop to give you (accordind to hole size) vinyl liner saple patch and applied it over your repair. Take a picture of your liner pattern to give you the same or at least a simillar patch as your liner so the repair looks nice. Nice name and I like your videos btw! Did you fix it already ? Let me know if you have more questions.

I have two large slits on the side of my pool about 12 inches long each, and about 16 inches apart. The ladder bent and broke and tore the side of my pool. I was going to use HH 66 and put a patch over each slits inside and out. ( 4 patches) and then one large patch over both patches inside and out . Three patches inside, three patches outside. 6 total. Will this method work? Do you have any other suggestions or advice? What brand of patches do you recommend? Where can I find patches big enough for this size of repairs? Thank You
The slits go down almost to the bottom of the side of the pool. If this info makes a difference. Not on a seam

I have a rectangular pool that ripped horitzontally along the top where the metal poles are. Is this repairable at all? I am thinking that it is not.
May I ask what is the size of the tear?
I have an above ground pool that part of the outer seam gave way. It is about 5” long on the outer seam and just above the bowl seam near the bottom. Can this be fixed? It is a manufacturers defect. If so, what should I use to fix it?

Hey Chris. Which above ground pool liner repair patch is best for small tears?
Hi John, where is the hole located at?
@@poolleakdetectionllc The return jet. The top half is okay but the lower half around the return jet is torn exposing the frame of the pool. A large tear.
@@JohnWick-mv5pr I would recommend you to use a large square vinyl liner patch with a hole in the middle. The hole has to be exactly the size of the adapter or little bit smaller. For this repair you need to remove the adapter of the return line apply the patch and place the adapter back on the hole. You also need to make sure that the butterfly gasket is in place and in a good condition in order to seal properly. When you tie the adapter back do it slowly and make sure that it doesn't drag the patch. If there is any tiny gap between the liner and the adapter you can use 2 part epoxy for a better seal. Is the water level below the return?
@@poolleakdetectionllc Yes. The water level is near the ground. Just started filling it and had to stop because the tear appeared. Excellent advice.
@@JohnWick-mv5pr What is the size of the tear? You can also send me a picture of the tear and repair if you want to and I will try to help as much as I can. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi can you recommend a large patch I have a 12 inch by 12 in tear to cover
What do you mean 12 by 12? Also where is the tear located?
@@poolleakdetectionllc
The tear is like an L on the side of the pool it’s an intex xtr pool
@@crop_duster7887 I don't recommend to repair this kind of tear because the patches will not hold the water pressure. Unless you have something to support the repair from the water pressure. Although for this kind of repair you will need multiple long patches from inside and outside the pool and they have to cover as much surface area of the liner as possible. You can ask for liner samples to your local pool shop. I hope that was helpful.
@@poolleakdetectionllc
Yes my plan is to seal the 2 seams then overlap the inside and outside with the 2 large patches hopefully it holds up and can handle the pressure
@@crop_duster7887 You can also support the repair by placing a styrofoam and a piece of wood against the patch to handle the water pressure. Please let me know the outcome if you perform the repair.

Can this be done on an empty pool? The water has leaked all out of pool.
If the tear is large and visible yes you can patch it with no water. Make sure that the surface of the liner is clear before you patch the tear and also I recommend to add some water when you are placing the patch. Water makes the glue cure faster. What is the size of the tear?
It is about 6 inches. Thank you so much for your response

Patches on your liner don’t work just replace the liner
Those patches are not very nice looking when i think of hiring someone to patch my pool i would be very very upset to see the different patterned black and brown overlaping blue and white tiled look on my solid white liner.
I explained in the video why the patches are dark and have different patterns in some cases. As you saw not all of them were black or brown, So the reason is adults and kids avoid to step on the patches and create a bigger tear. These areas lost great amount of sand and the support underneath the liner. Clients have always been informed before any repair and are fine with the patches, as long as they do not lose water. Also for this specific case the client will use a mat over the patches and place the steps over it so patches will not be exposed. Thank you for your comment.
