Patch Hole in Pool

My plastic pool has a whole at the bottom. How do I patch it without draining the water?

Is there any type of glue that will work under water?



Hi. If you are talking about a vinyl lined above ground pool the best patch kits are made by Boxer. You just cut a circle shape out of the patch material, add the glue and put it over the hole. You can then come up for air and hold your big toe over the patch for a couple of minutes while the glue dries. The water does not need to be drained to patch a hole in a vinyl pool.

My brother in law would use his kids and a bowling ball. They would put the patch on the hole and set the bowling ball on top of the patch. After about ten minutes the pool was as good as new.

If you have an Intex type pool they have there own special patch kit you should use. These kits can be found at stores that handle Intex pools.

Standard vinyl patches should work on holes in the inflatable ring pools. This page about holes in an above ground pool might help also.
