Hello, this is my first post.
We just purchased an intex 20' ultra pool. Reading the reviews on it, I decided tp buy it anyway, expecting there to be a leak that I would need to repair....ok, for a good size pool so cheap, what else do I want? Well guess what?? I have a leak....in the drain holes at that! It was poring out. I tried to patch around it, and got it now to where it is bairly dribbling. Like a small dribble arrises once a minute. I am ok with that if it stays at that, but I'm afraid once I get more then a foot of water, or get swimming, it will turn back into leaking bad again. I patched the inside around it and tried to seal around the drain itself. I did not use a patch for the outside, but I did use the repair glue around the outside seal. The dribble is arising out of the glue.
I took out a 2year warranty on it. I am hopping to get a season out of it, and have them replace the liner. If I send it back, the reviews said it could take up to 30 days to get. Pregnant here, summer is hot, and I want to swim the hot days, so by the time the replacement gets here, I will almost be done my pregnancy, and summer half over.
Anyway, any suggestions on fixing this? Is this tiny dribble ok? My only other option i can think of is some how patching the whole drain over both inside and out.
Please please help!
Thanks
