Still determined to get it going lol. So I went in and cut some 3 inch circles to patch a couple tiny holes that stood out. I let it fill a bit overnight and come out and walked around the pool and same stubborn leak. So I look in the pool and I can see my patches have little tiny air bubbles on...

It's odd that I ever had this experience. My last couple pools have been so un-level that you could ride the rails like a roller coaster. But mine has always been on regular ground and not concrete slabs. Maybe the ground is more forgiving. Plus usually it's not completely un-level to one side...

Not long ago I bought a used pump and the lid was missing completely. These are easy to get from Amazon and fairly cheap. Mine cost $14 for my Hayward pump. And yes I am talking about the skimmer/strainer that is attached to the pump. If you can get a model number of the pump, it would be easier...

Since it's at the top, there isn't a great deal of pressure compared to a bottom rip. I tore a 3 inch tear at the bottom of mine. I didn't trust just a normal patch for 15,000 gallons of water pressure. I bought a roll of 4ft x 2ft 27 mil clear vinyl. I then did 3 layers on each side. Starting...

Wow what a superb idea. I can't believe this actually worked. At the rate I am going, I may be going this route myself. Thanks a ton for the idea.

I was so hoping my next post on this would have been "Success". Unfortunately that's not the case. I filled the pool about 1/8 of the way and went out to survey it. Just as I was making the circle complete, I found a leak at one spot. Granted this is much better then it was before, but still...

Whenever I refer to the durability of an Ultra Frame I show this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvSvdTQyplE Let me see how this works out with an Easy Set pool lol.

I never thought of that 'Pv2'. But the job is done now so we shall see. This was definitely a hands on job that's for sure. I sat my rear down and started at one spot and just kept going in a circle until done. I started out nice and neat, but that lasted about 9.6 seconds! By the end I felt...

Yeah my reason for asking for a picture would be to see if it was seam related. These pools are pretty thick! I don't think they are really getting "pinholes" but rather the vinyl has cracked in that spot. But hey, what do I know lol.

This is more of a safety issue then anything. Let's just look at this for a second. 'The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a fast-acting circuit breaker designed to shut off electric power in the event of a ground-fault within as little as 1/40 of a second. It works by comparing...

Looks like I am all set to go out and tackle this seam leak. I am going to do the whole 22 foot bottom seam (3 stitches). I am going to try the vinyl cement rather then the caulk. It might take some time, but I guess that's what's left for me to do before trashing it. I'd like to think of...

I am also experiencing issues this year after my Intex 22x52 Ultra Frame pool has leaks at the bottom seam. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/100268-Seam-leak-Intex-22-x-52-quot-Ultra-Frame-Swimming-Pool Seams I can understand, but being higher in just random spots on the other hand is a...

I have had the 16x48, 18x48, and currently have the Intex 22' x 52" Ultra Frame. I would agree with 'jblizzle' that it might not seem like much, but it really does make a big difference in the amount of water and room you gain. You are not only gaining 4 inchesfeet in diameter, but 4 inches in...

This is my third year with my Intex 22' x 52" Ultra Frame. The first two years was fine and dandy. We moved to a new house so we took the pool down and stored it. Since we put it back up, it's been nothing but problems with leaking at the seam. I wish we had never had to take it down. I am not...

Well I spent a couple hours last night sealing this seam. As I was working with it, I realized that that lip is not really the seam itself. Rather it's the left over after the seam. The seam itself has 3 stitching and then that lip after the last stitch. I used my vinyl cement to glue that lip...
