Most pool dealers should have vinyl patch kits that can be used underwater. One tip is to cut the patch round or oval in shape, no sharp corners as over time sharp corners will start to roll up and come unglued.
We used Garrett Vinyl Pools they have been around for years.
what you can do in this situation depends on what is under the vinyl liner now.
There is special adhesive for this,sold in pool maintenance stores.
If the rip is not tool arge you can use an undewater patch for vinyl liner with vinyl adhesive - it works underwater - you apply the adheive generopusly all ovetr the patch cut to bigger than the rip size, fold in half with adhesive on the inside, go into water to rip and unfold, smooth out bubbles and apply pressure to hold especially at the edges
Vinyl liner patch kit are available at pool dealers and at stores like Walmart. They usually consist of some clear vinyl and some liquid glue. The best thing is to use vinyl that matches your pool liner. I always save scraps when new liner is installed. First trim the patch to cover the hole. A round or oval patch works best since there are no corners to peel off. Next clean the place to be patched. Then cover the back of the patch with glue. If the tear is under water fold the patch together with the glue on the inside. Next open the patch and place it over the tear and press the air out starting from the center working outward. If the tear is deep under water you may need to find a diver.
Cannot be answered without further information. What is the adhesive? Are you under water or dry? Is it a tile or marcite surface? Please asvise
As long as the vinyl liner pool is inground, it can be converted. But you'll probably have to remove all of the vinyl pool elements until you have reduced the pool to a big hole in the ground and then start from there. All it takes is time and money!
The walls of some above ground and some inground vinyl liner pool kits are made of aluminum.
Some pool companys are not in business. most all inground pools have the same size treads..
If you have water behind your vinyl in ground pool liner, you should first lower the water in the pool to normal levels if it is over-filled. Make sure that the vacuum pipe is clear, unclog it if it is not. Once it is unblocked let the water from behind the liner flow out.
Installers use vinyl liners to create inground pools without pouring concrete. Here's an overview of the topic http://www.poolandspa.com/page232.htm.
The vinyl liner should bond together with PVC glue from lowes or home depot. There is even a PVC liner that can be used with the glue to patch tears rips and holes.
Well first of all there is no such thing as a fiberglass pool. You can have fiberglass walls instead of steel but your pool is still vinyl because you need a liner. These are the usual combinations of inground pools. Sand floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Sand floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, concrete walls, no liner Concrete pools have to be painted with epoxy paint or if you want tile installed then usually you plaster over the concrete. Now a days 3 and 4 are the most common inground installs. 1 and 2 are usually pools that are 30 + years old although you can still have them done that way. In South Alabama the cost of a 20 *40 vinyl pool will cost around 18 to 22 thousand
Use an underwater liner repair kit available at a pool supply store. The better solution is to use a piece of liner that matches the liner in your pool instead of the clear patch in the repair kits. Simply cut it to fit, round out the corners, and apply the glue from the store bought kit. The repair can be done underwater.
Ya can do anything ya desire if ya got the money
To fix a detached vinyl liner from its spot on an above ground pool, the water will have to be drained from the pool. Then, a marine patch can be placed on the area to re-attach the vinyl to the place where it came apart. Allow this to dry thoroughly before refilling the pool.
get a blow gun/ torch and go around old patch in a circular motion, ( do not hold the gun to close to vinyl and don't leave the gun in one place to long as it may damage the pool vinyl around the whole. Slowly the old glue from the patch will curl away and then you can slowly peel it away. I just did it.
Yes, you can. The type of patching would depend on what kind of pool it is - vinyl or concrete - and what it is that needs patching. You can use a piece of pool liner and underwater liner repair glue to patch a vinyl liner (I prefer to not use the clear patch material that comes in most store bought liner repair kits, but the glue is ok to use). If it is a concrete shell, you would use a 2-part underwater epoxy made for pool repair. If the pool is a fiberglass shell, you will likely need to empty the pool to make an effective patch.
we just did it. remove the top lip and pour boiling water over the liner to soften then pull it back up into its proper place and replace the lip. done
A 20 by 40 vinyl liner pool will cost around 1500 for the liner and 1500 for the labor. If you have a cement or vermiculite ( a type of cement) floor . If you have a sand bottom there is a extra charge for labor
go to cheappoolproducts.com ANS 2 - There are special vinyl patches and liquid glues to adhere them with. Sold in Walmart.
The patch will hold better if you remove the existing patch. If you patch over the existing patch, make sure all the edges are sealed off. If you are tired of replacing your vinyl liners, you might want to check out fiberglass as an option. A new fiberglass surface can be applied to your pool, and you will get a much longer life out of it. You can read more at: http://www.advancedpoolcoatings.com
