    Skimmer-Tile leak filler thoughts

    Today I learned... Thank you both for your help. The knowledge here is really great. It's so hard to find the actually good products from the terrible ones. Everybody's got a quick fix thing now and I saw Plast-aid, but honestly it sounded like a 'flex-seal' type product and originally passed...

    Skimmer-Tile leak filler thoughts

    Thank you both for the info. I didn't know that was a liner style skimmer so that's interesting. So I guess I'm a bit confused what's doing the sealing then if the tile/grout is supposed to do that job. How does it seal to the plastic skimmer? Is there some kind of sealant or something I'll...

    Best way to patch a leak? - Update

    Thanks for the info. I've been reading more and have found 2 other threads where leaks were repaired either under warranty or by leak repair companies with epoxy so I guess it's probably just the preferred method. Just kind of feels like there should be some silicone injectable or something that...

    Hi everybody, Because of the wonderful info on the site & in the forums I've been able to handle basically everything since I got a house with a pool a year ago so thank you. I've not had to post until now. What I didn't know at the time because I had no prior experience was that there's a...
