Thanks, Watermom! Intex requires a receipt for replacement. We bought it a couple of months ago on sale so finding said receipt poses a challenge. But if I can find it, I intend to get the liner replaced.

In the meantime I went ahead and patched it with the stuff that came with the pool. I figured it couldn't hurt; the person I talked to at Intex didn't seem to care and indicated that the only needed a few pieces of the liner if I decide to try replacing it.

The wasted time, if I do get it replaced, does grate on my nerves.
