    Installing replacement liner inside of Intex 18' metal frame

    Ok so my current liner lasted another year but I'm about to see if I can make the liner I bought that's been in the shed a while work. My plan is to lay it down this weekend to make sure it holds water in the bottom and doesn't have any obvious flaws then close it again for another month or so...

    Installing replacement liner inside of Intex 18' metal frame

    Hi, reviving this thread again hopefully. I've got a small 15x33" summer waves with a ton of pinhole leaks. I'm currently trying Fix a Leak but so far it's not working. I anticipated this and there is a new overlap liner in my shed that's been sitting in the box for a couple of years waiting to...

    New Summer Waves Pool Has Leak on Seam - Flex Tape on Exterior?

    You can buy a kit at Lowes that you patch on the inside with water in the pool called Aqua EZ pool repair kit. It has epoxy and vinyl you cut to size. With a patch on the inside and flex tape on the outside you should be ok.

    New Summer Waves Pool Has Leak on Seam - Flex Tape on Exterior?

    If you don't mind me asking, how did you find the leak? Is it super obvious, like you can see water dripping out from the outside? I'm driving myself crazy trying to find the leak in a Summer Waves liner. Last year when we took it down it was wet underneath so I wasn't surprised to see that it's...

    Re-sealing entire seam on Summer Waves (Intex-type) pool?

    Hi, I have a 15'x33" Summer Waves pool that appears to be leaking around almost the entire seam on the bottom around the edges. It's losing more than 1" of water every day and there's water on the ground outside of the pool in many areas. When I punch the wall near the bottom I can see water...

    Installing replacement liner inside of Intex 18' metal frame

    One more question for those who have done this mod. Did you order the same size as your pool (15' liner for a 15' pool)? I'm wondering if there will be enough stretch to go over the poles and overlap the sides, since I think these poles are thicker than the usual overlap on a permanent above...

    Installing replacement liner inside of Intex 18' metal frame

    Hi, I'm thinking of doing this mod unless I can find the leak(s) in my Summer Waves 15'x33" pool liner. I see some of you ran pipes for the pump outside the pool and have them hanging over into the water for the intake and return, and some of you cut holes in the liner to run the hoses where...

    Is this dirt/pollen or is it algae?

    Hi, Just in the last few days we've been having problems with what appears at first to be dirt in the bottom of the pool, but I'm wondering if it's an algae bloom. It's very very fine greenish brown particulate matter, and as of this morning it seems to almost cover the bottom of the pool...

    2" slope. Dealbreaker?

    I'm going to go against the grain here. I wish my pool was only 2" off! It started out probably twice that and unfortunately the low end settled a little more after a few hard rains. We did zero research and didn't know what we were doing at all and just put a heavy duty tarp on the ground on...
