Bought a new house and pool has a leak....NEED HELP PLEASE!!

[mcu99]

Hi,

I found a hole in my pool liner the size of a dime at the height of the base of the skimmer. Should I attempt to repair myself with patch kits or better call a pro? I called a pool place and they charge $75, which is ok, but can not make it out here for a week. I would like to repair ASAP. I see the kits are under $10 online, but I am in Canada, so not sure how much more it is here..usually double

So is it worth doing it yourself or just pay the pro and do it right/better than I would since I never did it before?

Thanks

It isn't that difficult to do. If you have a spare piece of vinyl left over from a liner installation, you can use that for your patch. If not, you can buy a patch kit. The type of glue that we have used when we had to repair a liner is called Boxer 100 Glue. Good luck.
