This combination of items is designed for fixing sizable tears or punctures in the flexible, synthetic material commonly used to line swimming pools. These kits typically include a substantial patch of vinyl, a strong adhesive formulated for underwater use, and application tools. An example would be a package containing a 12″ x 24″ sheet of vinyl, an eight-ounce tube of sealant, and a roller to ensure proper bonding of the patch.
Addressing damage promptly to this type of pool liner prevents further deterioration and potential water loss, ultimately saving resources and extending the lifespan of the pool. Historically, improvised solutions were used, but specialized kits offer a more reliable and long-lasting repair, minimizing the risk of recurring leaks and maintaining the structural integrity of the pool.
