How to find a hole in an inflatable pool<\/h2>\n

Before proceeding with the elimination of the leak, it is necessary to find a hole in the inflatable pool. It's easy to do, just use one of the following techniques:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The damaged part of the pool, which is quickly deflated, must be pumped up with a pump, inflated. Pressing lightly on the material, you need to find the problem area. If you listen well, you can find a hole with maximum accuracy, a characteristic sound will come out of it, and a light stream of air will begin to be felt.<\/li>\n
  2. In the absence of the proper result, you can find the hole with a moistened palm. It is necessary to walk around the entire perimeter, running it along the rubber, and the place of the leak will be felt to the touch.<\/li>\n
  3. If the bathing tank is small in size, then the following method is suitable using a larger tank, which must be filled with water. A damaged artificial reservoir must be placed in it, and find a place from which air bubbles will appear. This will be the hole in need of repair.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What glue can be used to glue an inflatable pool<\/h3>\n

    Only waterproof glue should be used to repair inflatable pools, it is he who is able to adhere well to the polymer material. In most cases, owners of artificial reservoirs choose Moment Crystal glue. The composition is distinguished by its versatility, budget, transparency, after drying, the patch holds very firmly. They also appreciate it for the fact that there are no traces or spots left.<\/p>\n

    The glued surface can be in working order for a long time, the product can be blown off and pumped up without any problems using a pump. For the effective use of the glue, you first need to read the manufacturer's instructions, and only then proceed to eliminate the hole.<\/p>\n

    The process of gluing an inflatable pool with glue is as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Clean the problem area with fine sandpaper.<\/li>\n
    2. Degrease the surface with alcohol, gasoline, any other solvent.
      \"How<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. Apply glue to the patch and apply to the leak. After 5-10 minutes, you need to roll this section with a bottle or other suitable object, the patch will stick better this way. The glue dries up within 2-12 hours.
      \"How<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Considering that the glue for repairing an inflatable pool is highly flammable, it is not recommended to work with it near an open source of fire.<\/p>\n

      How to glue an inflatable PVC pool<\/h3>\n

      PVC products are very popular among consumers. They are chosen for their compactness, budget and ease of use. It is not difficult to repair such an artificial reservoir on your own:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Determine the gap with soapy water.
        \"How<\/a><\/li>\n
      2. Degrease the problem area with a napkin treated with gasoline, alcohol or cologne. It is not advisable to use acetone or another solvent for these purposes, not every material is resistant to them.
        \"How<\/a><\/li>\n
      3. In accordance with the size of the hole, cut out a patch, apply an adhesive composition on it and on the surface of the font. Wait 15 minutes, glue the parts, pressing them firmly together. Put the press well. Before using the reservoir, you must check it for integrity.
        \"How<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        How the pool is glued<\/h2>\n

        First you need to find the place of the leak. After that, the surface should be cleaned and degreased, for which the patch is applied to the leak and outlined with a marker. The bonding area is cleaned and wiped with a fine sandpaper. Further, the place of the leak and the repair flap are degreased, for which alcohol, gasoline or another solvent are used.<\/p>\n

        Glue and a patch are applied to the torn place. Withstand from 5 to 10 minutes, then firmly press the flap with your hands or roll it using a thick glass bottle as a rolling pin. Wait until the glue dries, according to the time indicated in the instructions – often it is 2-12 hours.<\/p>\n

        When using a liquid patch, it is simply applied to the torn area with a thick layer and left for two days. If the cut is more than three centimeters, you must first sew the PVC edges with threads – in order for the connection to be reliable.<\/p>\n

        Evaporation of water<\/h3>\n

        In some cases, the pool is not damaged at all, and the rapid decrease in the amount of water is associated with dry, windy and hot weather. To find out exactly whether the water is evaporating, you need to set up a little experiment:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Pour water of the same temperature into the pool and bucket.<\/li>\n
        2. In both containers, make marks on the inner wall so that you can track the drop in level.<\/li>\n
        3. After a day, re-mark and compare the distance between daily measurements – if it is the same, then the water really just evaporates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Understanding the filter<\/h3>\n

          If it is established that the evaporation of water has nothing to do with it, then proceed to the next step. You need to understand whether the wall or bottom of the pool is broken, or whether the fault lies in the filtration system. Yes, sometimes there is such a problem. It's just that the gasket in the filter can be defective, incorrectly installed, or old.<\/p>\n

          \"How<\/a><\/p>\n

          Dry rubber does not do well with the sealing function and quite often a thin gap forms through which water flows out rather quickly. Examine it and replace it if damage is found – often this already solves the problem.<\/p>\n

          Can a filled pool be renovated?<\/h2>\n

          Few people want to pour out several tons of water from a pool and then refill it. Therefore, any rational-minded owner will surely have a question – is it possible to repair the pool directly with water? It turns out that there really is a way!<\/p>\n

          \n

          Use this technology only in extreme cases – experts consider it not the most reliable and only temporary measure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

          \"How<\/a><\/p>\n

          This will require special repair patches manufactured by Intex. It is very easy to use them:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Wipe the damaged area with a hard cloth to remove sludge and any other contamination that may impair adhesion to the substrate.<\/li>\n
          2. Release the patch from the packaging and press it onto the prepared spot from the inside of the pool.<\/li>\n
          3. Hold it in place for about a minute until the adhesive has set.<\/li>\n
          4. Degrease the outside of the damaged area and fix the leak – with a patch or a regular piece of rubber or PVC and rubber glue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This completes the work. Wait a day or two and, after making sure that the water is no longer leaking, continue to use your favorite pool, which perfectly saves you from stuffiness on hot summer days.<\/p>\n
