4 Things to Know About Underwater Pool Liner Patch Kits

Underwater patch kits fix small tears without draining the pool They use a special waterproof adhesive that cures underwater. You can buy them at any pool supply store or online.

Clean the tear area thoroughly before applying the patch Algae or dirt will ruin the adhesive bond. Use a scrub brush to clean the surface as best you can.

Cut the patch slightly larger than the tear and follow adhesive directions Press the patch on and hold it for about a minute. Some kits include a weight to hold it while it sets.

Skip the kit if the tear is near a seam or larger than a few inches Those cases need a more permanent fix. But for a simple slit or puncture, an underwater patch works fine.
