Can you put a patch over another patch to stop a leak in an above ground pool liner?
Yes, you can put a patch over another patch to stop a leak in an above-ground pool liner, but it's essential to ensure that the surface is clean and dry before applying the new patch. Using a patching material that is compatible with the original patch is crucial for a secure bond. However, for a more permanent fix, it's best to remove the old patch and properly clean the area before applying a new patch. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.

How do you repair a slash in a quick set above ground vinyl pool?
You can purchase a patch kit at any swimming pool retailer and use the same type of patch that is used for an above ground swimming pool liner - the kit is relatively inexpensive but it takes a while to seal but around the slash it should be clean as possible and the drier the better
Can you patch a leak inside your above ground pool with duct tape?

How can you fix a detached vinyl liner from its spot?
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.
Is rust underneath a patch in a vinyl pool liner cause for concern for an in-ground pool?
is the patch on the side wall? most likely the wall is rusting.. not a HUGE concern but when and if u have the liner replaced i would deff have it looked at... not usually a hard to fix problem
Can a rip approximately 6 inches from the bottom of sidewall of an above-ground pool be fixed without draining the pool?
Yes, pool companies sell "Under Water Cement" and patch kits. If you hole is bigger than the usual patch, ask the pool company to sell you a piece of used liner.
How do you fix a sunken in areas in the bottom of a vinyl liner?
I have only done this one time. I branch fell from a tree in a wind storm from about 30 feet up. Went through the winter cover and through the liner in the deep end of the pools. It was stuck there when we opened the pool in the spring. The branch was about the size of a baseball bat. I had prepared a zip lock back with play sand and also had a patch already cut. When ready, I removed the branch, placed the ziplock bag under the liner in the hole and then proceeded to patch the hole with a vinyl patch. If this is in an above ground pool, I wouldn't mess with it unless you think it is going to burst. Once you cut the liner more water is going to push out and make the sunken area even bigger. For above ground pools theres not a whole lot you can do. Maybe get rid of the moles....
Pool Repair?
Many pools have vinyl liners. As the pool ages, the vinyl liner will oftentimes become cracked. These cracks cause water to drain out of the pool, which can result in greater damage. One should never fail to repair this type of leak. The best way to repair this is to patch the crack or hole with a patch kit. These patch kits can be bought both in stores and online. There are different types of patch kits, some of which are meant to be used above water and some below the water. This type of pool repair is relatively simple.
What are the most common above ground pool leaks and how can they be identified and repaired effectively?
The most common above ground pool leaks are usually found in the liner, filter system, or plumbing connections. To identify a leak, look for drops in water level, wet spots around the pool, or air bubbles in the pump. To repair effectively, patch the liner with a repair kit, tighten or replace fittings in the filter system, and seal any leaks in the plumbing connections with waterproof sealant.
Can you patch the corners of a 20ft - 30ft inground vinyl pool liner that has big rips?
No. Replace the liner.
Why is the inground pool liner growing I keep the chlorine at and the pH just above In two years the liner has grown at least a foot wrinkling. The ground drops 3 feet off one side of the pool.?
The cause of the wrinkle in the liner has little or nothing to do with the chemicals you add to the pool. The ground below the pool is shifting and will most likely slide. You might want to check the pool for leaks. One sign of a leak on the exterior of a pool would be a very green patch of grass or weeds in the area of the leak.
If you have a new liner with a leak will you get the same amount of years out of it had it not had a leak?
That would depend on several variables. If the leak is professionally repaired and there is no damage to the substrate under the liner, then you should be fine with the life expetency of the liner. If there was a wash-out under the liner, then there is added stress to the liner at that point which can shorten it's life expectancy. If the patch is done with a clear store-bought patch kit, the patch likely will not hold very long and the liner will likely begin leaking again, which can damage the substrate and affect the liner integrity.
