    Intex leak on seam

    Last year I bought a 14 foot round Intex prism pool . After about a weak it developed a small leak somewhere near the edge.

    Still not happy with Ultra liner

    Hello All Is is normal / just cosmetic to have the seams folded the wrong way / sticking up in places ? My pool is level with about 7 inches of water in it at the moment.
