In our last blog, we mentioned ways to find out if you have a pool leak. If you read our former blog post and think that you may have a pool with a leak --then keep reading. 

There are possible ways to help fix your pool --if it has a vinyl liner. (We recommend only trying these tips if you feel confident in your handy man abilities.) 

Step 1: Never entirely drain a pool with a vinyl liner, as it could lead to drying and cracking later. 

Step 2: See if your pool comes with a vinyl repair kit. 

Step 3: Cut out the patch in a circle, and be sure to make it larger than the leaky spot.

Step 4: Cover the back of the circular patch with glue.

• If you are not under water, apply the patch over the leak hole and apply pressure for 2 minutes.
• If you leak is under water, fold the patch in half so that the glue will come in little contact with water. Apply pressure to the patch for 5 minutes.

Just keep swimming!
