[@general5104]

YOU THE MAN !!! No way would I put my phone in the water! Thanks for showing your video

[@thevasseur]

Man I think you just saved my kids' summer! Thank you for this great vid!

[@jaynebrohammer1111]

Thank you Mr. Budgets for showing me how to find the leak!

[@ElJaguarNegro]

Out here trying to find the hole 😢😂 And its BRAND NEW!

[@jenniferpeterson2965]

We bought a pool from Walmart in November and just put it up last week and it has a hole in it too. It was stored in the box in a heated garage. I think I will have to climb in and try your method for finding the hole. Walmart and Coleman didn’t want to help us out, it was past warranty for both companies.

[@alloutofdonuts3998]

That’s some smart thinking! I like that idea of feeling for soft spots and looking for bubbles or dirt coming thru. I have those little workout pads under mine so it all feel mushy tho. I have the small pool(10’x30”?) I still haven’t been able to find the leak but your ideas might help me find it!

[@southernboi11]

I hope it works out for you! Good luck!

[@sandrapaterson6322]

Made me feel so much better about being frustrated!!

[@sylviassongs918]

Great Job! Let’s see you chilling in the pool !

[@donwilliams1284]

You need to put down a pool ground cover or you are going to keep getting pin holes in your liner with it sitting on the ground

[@southernboi11]

Definitely seeing that now..thinking about going with a bigger pool next Summer..definitely going to have a tarp or something underneath

[@MortyWillHijackYou]

Don't put a tarp your better off going with something like a rhino pad, and should really put like 2" of sand as a base

[@user-oc6xl5bz2v]

Don't use sand. Intex says they won't honor warranty. They gave us an exception and sent a new liner to us... unfortunately, we have a hole again! I'm going to attempt fixing this time. But if you recently bought the pool, try calling the manufacturer.

[@Deraiil]

Thank you, enjoyed the video and learned something!

[@Melanie3581]

Summer waves suck, I felt the liner was super thin. I have an Intex and it lasted a winter and now I have leaks. Makes me sad because I thought it was high quality, but some of it was my fault, needed better padding underneath

[@southernboi11]

Yea, this one has holes..I think I needed to put a tarp or something under it smh..but looking to upgrade next summer so I’ll try to get it right

[@MJae204]

Thank you so much! You’re such a lifesaver, helped so much knowing to feel for the difference in the ground and to look for bubbles. Really appreciate it 🩵

[@victoriajohnnyrodriguez1369]

They say to make the patch round.

[@MrHondaguy77]

Next time put a tarp down between the ground and the pool itself. The little grains of sand can cut threw the cheap vinyl.

[@Ionizap]

I learned that lesson this year, next time heavy duty tarp from Canadian Tire instead of a cheap thin Intex ground sheet.

[@TheSwishPOP]

@@Ionizap I have 2 tarps under mind pool, and I have a hole. This is the second year. They don't last long. Hopefully I can get it patched

[@user-oc6xl5bz2v]

Did you put that pool directly on dirt

[@southernboi11]

Yes, big mistake…I should have put a tarp or something under it..looking to upgrade next summer so I’ll try to get it right

[@homesteaderfiftywmartha603]

Thanks

[@nikkilott6467]

My pool was brand new, summer waves 24 ft x12 ft x 52in and over 1000.00 and ser it up following directions to a tee and they wont let me return it because it is over 90 days and that's what I get for waiting to set it up, completely screwed! Who would expect a pole to come with a hole already in it😢😮 though😢

[@amandabowling-ck3nf]

in the same boat! pos right out of the box!

[@nolandyson6193]

Luckily for me, the pool wasn't full. I emptied the pool and was able to find the hole with sunlight from the other side.

[@Caleb0102]

2 things: 1: that's my literally my pool 2: my hole came from a paver

[@hitmanm818]

I think buying a tarp for under your pool goes a long way they’re cheap at harbor freight

[@southernboi11]

Yes! A tarp underneath is definitely needed!

[@KallyMutarelli]

Did this patch last?

[@southernboi11]

Yes! It’s been almost a year and that same one is still holding up!

[@carloscouret5286]

Nice job

[@moniisaac3819]

He did not show the most important thing, how he patched it. He showed the patch he was going to use, and did not show him patching the leak, just showed the botton of the pool again. 😢

[@braylens1822]

That’s not how you do it

[@southernboi11]

It works🤷🏾‍♂️

[@amandabowling-ck3nf]

i bought the same pool on march 11th. 18x48 we moved to our new home built the deck finally got it out of the box on 6/10 to put it up. got it set up and started filling found 1 pin hole in the side right out of the box. flex sealed that and 5 hrs later go out to check and several of the the legs were pooling with water! tried the food coloring trick didnt really work for me. im thinking the seams are bad. Then after calling the company today (monday morning) since they were closed on sunday (the 11th) the proceed to tell me they cant help me because my 90 day warranty had passed (by 1 day!! and they were closed on Sunday ). never again will i buy this brand. useless trash

[@southernboi11]

Aw man, that sucks… I hope you get it worked out and get to enjoy the pool & deck before Summers over!

[@elmengh]

They make these things cheap to get you back in store and buy more liners lol...one way or another you will get holes smh

[@P2Feener305]

🤣😂 my liner has been riding for about 6 years now strong..I live in queens ny btw
