Would fix a seal or e-z patch vinyl liner repair sealant or something similar work? Or epoxy pool putty?

Is the delaminating where you can see blue next to the drain?

Hello, I have had my 18' X 52" metal frame intex pool for 3 years. I was ready to close it for the season and noticed one of the drain plugs near the bottom on the pool is dripping. I do not want to drain the pool because I have a well and would have to have water hauled in to refill. The...

Ok, I will try and get that. Thank you!!

Today's test results: Ph 7.2 FC 9 CC less than 0.5 TC 9.5 CH 175 TA 90 CYA 70 temp 68 degrees I have not added salt (last test on 4/3 1430), waiting for new salt test strips to double check. I did turn on the swg and it works with no errors or low salt warnings. I think I'm on the right...

Thank you! I have read through the abc's of chemistry and ordered the TF-100 test kit and salt test strips this morning! Looking forward to learning to use it. My trip to the pool store yesterday left me with more questions than answers and $100 poorer! Completely new to pool ownership. I did...
