This is normally caused either by the pool not being set up on flat level ground or someone standing or leaning on the frame of the pool. We would suggest moving the pool to a more suitable location. We would also advise that you do not stand on the frame of the pool, the ladder must be used for entering and exiting the pool. This type of damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty so you may need to replace parts. Whether you have an Intex paddling pool, Bestway paddling pool or another popular make of paddling pool. Finding and fixing a hole couldn’t be easier. Finding the Hole in your Paddling Pool There are two types of holes that can appear in a paddling pool. The first is one that lets the water out and the second is one that lets air out and causes the pool to deflate. First, you need to find the hole in the paddling pool, and then you can fix it using a suitable paddling pool repair kit.

Duct tape will last slightly longer than sellotape and parcel tape but will still not last very long. You may get a couple of uses out of your paddling pool with duct tape on it but you’ll find that your time will be wasted in the long run. We would not advise that the pool is left in direct sunlight. We would suggest setting the pool up in a shaded spot or using a gazebo or canopy to help protect the pool.Most paddling pool repair patches need to be fixed to a dry surface and the pressure of the water or air will also cause extra pressure which may prevent the patch from adhering fully. Mould can occur if the pool is not completely dry when folded or put away. Humidity and dampness can cause mould to grow due to stagnant water. The following steps will guide you through how to fix a hole in a paddling pool. As long as you follow the steps you will find any hole fairly simple to repair.

Make sure when you apply the repair patch to the paddling pool that you keep the area nice and flat. You want a really good connection between the paddling pool and the patch. Apply the patch and press firmly working from the hole towards the outside of the patch. To locate the puncture on an inflatable liner it is best to apply diluted washing up liquid from a spray bottle to the surface of the whole liner and around the inflation valve. Bubbles should appear where the puncture is located. This will prevent any dirt or water from stopping the patch from adhering properly to the surface of the paddling pool.The first part of fixing a hole in a paddling pool is finding where the hole is located. Finding a hole that is letting water out is quite simple, you just need to look to see where water is escaping.

Yes, you can use sellotape to temporarily repair a paddling pool but it will only hold for a very short period of time. Sellotape does not like water and will peel off in no time at all. If you are applying a patch to a hole in the water-filled section this should be placed on the outside area and not on the inside of the pool. To add extra strength to your repair, you can add a second patch on the inside of the pool.This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. Try not to allow any air bubbles to form as this will affect the bonding over longer periods of time. Products such as washing detergent, moisturiser, deodorant, make-up, sun lotion or fake tan can cause discolouration. We would suggest showering before using the pool to avoid this. If the problem does occur you can use washing up liquid, stain remover or miracle pads to remove stains or marks. This is normal. The pool will bend inwards until the pool has been filled up to 80% capacity. Please see the pool manual for more detailed information and images. You should not leave your repair in direct sunlight whilst it is drying as this may cause the repair to fail. Ensure it is undercover somewhere or covered up so it doesn’t get too hot.
