Intex make a whole range of inflatable swimming pools that are easy to set up and require little to no maintenance.

They are a perfect solution for folks that don’t have an in ground pool in their home but want to make a splash this Summer.

Kids especially go gaga over these units, and we all know how rough and rowdy little tykes can get.  So, just like everything else, these pools may need a good fixing every now and then. With Intex, the probable area of damage is the ring around the pool, where if air escapes, will actually lead the entire pool to come falling down.  But worry not, since the entire thing is made of vinyl, all you need is a standard repair kit and these easy to follow instructions.

Cleaning comes first

Before you even attempt to patch up that nasty hole, you have to give the damaged area a good cleaning.  You actually do not even have to drain the entire pool- just a little bit below where the leak is will do fine.  One patch will work, but just to be extra sure, you should place a dry patch on the outside wall and a wet one on the inner part of the damaged Intex inflatable swimming pools.

Let the patching begin

First you have to cut up the vinyl patch just the right size to do the job.  Remember that you do not cut it the same size as the hole but you actually make it half an inch larger.  You also want to make it in the size of an oval or a circle.  A square patch, or any shape that has edges are not advisable since a corner has the tendency to peel of over some time.  That is something that you do not want to happen.

Now that you have the correctly cut half an inch large round patch, next thing you need to do is get the adhesive.  You will actually apply some on both the wall and the patch when dealing with the dry kind- this is what you use on the outside part of the wall.  However, when you are dealing with a wet patch, this is if the area is underwater, you will only put some glue on the patch and then fold it in half.

After three minutes have passed, you can now press the patch onto the area, both the inside and the outside part of the wall.  You start to apply pressure in the middle and you squeeze out the water and the air from under the patch. Then smooth along the rounded edges.  After ten minutes, repeat the process.

Et Voila, your punctured Intex inflatable swimming pools will be as good as new.  All it takes are a few simple steps and the right kind of patching kit.
