Moved from Finally a fast, easy, cheap, permanent solution for intex inflatable ring leaks!

HI do you have a photo of your set-up as I'm lost. Also the ring on mine keeps getting soft and I'm worried that I'm going to wake up to a flood

Aquarium pump is under the upside down bucket. I found a tapered rubber plug at the hardware store. I drilled a hole in the plug and ran the tubing through the hole and then into the ring. The pump puts enough air into the ring to displace the leaking air. I put clear RTV around the tubing just in case but it was a tight fit and probably didn’t need it. So far it appears to be working fine. My aquarium pump is for 10-30 gallon tanks. View attachment 345424
