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.

This will prevent any dirt or water from stopping the patch from adhering properly to the surface of the 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. 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.Paddling pool repair patches should be applied to clean and dry areas. You must ensure that before you apply the patch, you clean off any dirt or debris and then dry the area thoroughly. If the hole is located in an area away from water for example in the top ring of your pool then you may be able to get away with not emptying or not completely emptying your pool. If the hole is not in the air ring but is allowing water out then you must drain your paddling pool before you apply the repair patch. 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 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.

Deflate the liner slightly to eliminate the bulging. Please be aware changes in the ambient temperature outside will cause the air inside the liner to expand or contract. On hot summer days we would suggest deflating the pool ring slightly. On colder winter days you may notice the liner looks a little soft and needs some more air. To fix a puncture you will require a repair kit. We would suggest using a waterproof repair patch or epoxy vinyl glue. 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.

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. 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.
