Just bought and put together an Intex AGP. Scalped the lawn and even spayed lawn killer. Filled the pool all the way and it looked good. By daughter and her friend started swimming and within an hour or 2 there was a hole at the bottom near the edge. The whole grew pretty rapidly as the water spilled out and now there is about and 8" long tear and about 3" wide. Is this able to be patched?
Also found on line a "gorilla pad" that is supposed to help pad the bottom and protect it from punctures. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I believe one of the thick roots from the crab grass punctured the pool.
