Pool leaking at buddy seat

[pollyAnna]

Hi
we noticed in Tuesday that our pool is leaking. This is not our first leak so we’re able to quickly narrow it down to the buddy seat. With the previous leak the due was clearing spiraling away, this time it’s slower ( water level dropping less rapidly) the dye is gathering at the edge as shown in the photo.
We live in Jersey so have maybe 6 weeks of pool use left this season and don’t want to to it up everyday. We are looking for the quick fix (bodge) to see us through. Thinking silicon sealing?
Appreciate community thoughts!

You need something that can be applied and cures underwater, like flex seal. Marine sealant won't cure unless it's dry.

For a quick possible fix, cut a piece of Saran wrap and place it in the leak area. It might draw the plastic in under pressure, reducing the leak greatly.

I had a recent slit in my liner and the Saran wrap stopped the leak until I got the patch kit.

Thank you! Great advice.
