The pools with vinyl use a vinyl plastic sheet to hold water within the pool. The vinyl material of the pool faces many external forces that can be stretched, cut or damaged. Toys or other objects left inside the pool and other desagarros cause coating damage, which may become a major leak. Patching vinyl siding to stop major leaks within a pool involves the application of a patch of adhesive vinyl.
Instructions
1. Locate and measure the tear, hole or any other damaged section of vinyl canvas. Cut a section of a leaf patch that measures a little more than the damaged section.
2. Applying a thick layer of adhesive vinyl waterproof or waterproof on one side of the vinyl sheet patch. Both adhesive vinyl waterproof and waterproof come in vinyl patch kits.
3. Push the leaf patch over the damaged section of the coating with the adhesive coated side touching the pool. Keep the blade against the coating for 30 seconds to allow the adhesive to adhere to the pool.
Tips and Warnings
Keep swimmers out of the pool for a few days after the patch is applied to prevent further damage to the coating.

How to fix the bottom of a pool
How to fix the bottom of a pool. It is very common for vinyl pools develop leaks in the background. It would take something too strong to crack a concrete pool, while a vinyl tarp eventually dries, becomes brittle and is more susceptible to cracking. Unlike concrete pools, finding a leak in a vinyl pool can be a difficult task.
Instructions
How to tell if you have a leak
1. Add water constantly to the pool is a good indicator that you have a leak. A good parameter to consider is that if you need to add 2 inches (5 cm) or more per week, you probably have a leak.
2. Determine if your loss is an area other than the bottom of the pool. If it leaks only when the system is running, probably indicates a leak in the plumbing. However, if the leak is continuous, it will most likely be in the background.
3. Walk around your pool and looking soft and wet areas on the floor or around the areas where the grass is greener on the other areas. Any of these may indicate a leak.
4. Check the inside of your pool for any cracks or sinks that could have been formed by water loss. Pay close attention to the corners and around the stairs near where the coating is put have narrowed areas and have small leaks.
5. Look near the water line. If you live in a cold climate, the spring thaw can cause a cut in the lining. It could also happen that an animal has fallen in the pool, scratching the walls.
6. Wear a mask and snorkel to find leaks in the bottom. There may be small air bubbles from the leak. Or, since any leaks come from dirt from the hole you should be viewed.
Fixing the pool's leak
1. Once you've found the leak, it's easy to plug them cutting or dividing a patch to make it a couple of inches or so a small hole to coat the lining.
2. Buy a kit of patches in your pool supply store. This kit contains a piece of vinyl siding and plastic cement works under or above water.
3. Cut a patch to plug the hole, scraping the back with sandpaper, then spread cement over the patch and place it over the hole (even underwater).
4. Alisa air bubbles and allow the cement to adhere.
5. Alternatively, you can use a sealant of a nitrile rubber base, available in some pool supply stores. With this product, simply spread the sealer over vinyl leaks without even using a patch. Even you can use it under water and seal small cuts in the coating. As an added bonus, it often comes out in a blue color to the color of the pool draw.

Tips and Warnings
- You're not sure of the amount of water your pool is lost to evaporation or if you have a leak? Fill a bucket with water and mark the level. Mark the water level of your pool and leaves the nature next to the pool for a day. If you have a leak, the levels should have been equal. If the pool water is not reduced more than the bucket, you have a leak.
- Small leaks under water can be difficult to detect. Use food coloring or chemical phenol red in your water test kit. You must put a jet dye near where you suspect there is a hole and if there is, you will see the color closer to him.
- You can build your own kit of patches . For a dollar or two, most pool supply stores sell the remains or pieces of carpet installed. Vinyl Cement Patch is also easily found in the same store. That's all, and for less than $ 5 have a repair kit (and can even match the pattern canvas your own pool).
- If you find that you have a leak in the liner of the pool and not drain the water. A vinyl liner is held in place by the pressure of water in the pool. If you take away the water, the coating may fall.

4 Sand the back of the patch with a piece of sandpaper to better adhere to the lining. Spread a layer of glue for grinding cement side of the patch, so that the adhesive covers the entire surface.
5 Place the patch over the tear and presses the lining to smooth so that there are no wrinkles or bubbles. The cement glue works both on and off the water, so no need to drain the pool. Let the patch dry.

How to heat an unheated pool
Some pool owners make the decision to implement a system of electric heating or solar energy for your pool. Although it is very beneficial for those seeking hot water, can be expensive for some. The solar covers are not as effective as a dedicated heating system, but they can provide an economical alternative for those who do not have a heated pool. Solar roofs create a vapor barrier that traps the sun's heat, which is then used to heat the pool water.
Instructions
1 Measuring the surface of a pool, and determines the shape thereof. Most pool owners already know these dimensions. Solar covers are precut in most common sizes and shapes of pools.
2 Purchase a solar cover local pool store or an online retailer. The common plastic solar cover is light blue and has a similar bubble wrap used in e appearance. Remove the solar cover of the box.
3 Place the solar cover with bubbles down into the top of the pool surface. Remove the cover each time you add chemicals and when swimmers are in the pool. The cover can stay in the pool all other times. This also helps to reduce evaporation of water.

- The cover should be stored away when not in use to increase their shelf life.
- Solar reels are an additional option for those with large pools. This allows you to use a crank mechanism to place the cover on the pool surface and remove.
How to design a solar system to heat the pool water?
The creation of a solar pool heating at home is a popular low-cost way to heat a pool. The money you save not only on the creation of the unit itself, but by using free energy from the sun instead of electricity. There are many types of solar panels available units in order to create a solar heater. A solar panel can be easily designed for anyone with a deep knowledge of the operation of the pool.
Instructions
1 Draw a model of design in a single sheet of paper. While solar heaters pool can be all different, each has the common purpose of transferring heat from a panel that collects heat from natural sunlight to a heater next to a pool. While the panel does not have to be massive, the size should be able to store enough to heat the pool water heat. The exact size depends on the size of the pool area, and how much electricity is needed. The cooler weather is, the more heat that needs to be diverted to the heater.
2 Design a specific form for the solar panel. A panel need not be in the shape of a square as most popular panels. Plan a design circular or hexagonal trapping heat uniquely and efficiently. Removed design solar tube instead of the typical form of a flat panel. The tubes are made to heat the liquid inside them and bring heat to the heater. Most of the cylindrical tubes are designed for domestic water heater, which means that use as a swimming pool heater could be simple.
3 Consider adding special features to the solar panel. The placement of the legs in the panel allows for easy use in the heat of the day when the sun's rays are strongest. The detachable legs allow the unit to be stored inside at night. The mobile units can also be stored away during the winter or when not in use. If you do not want the legs, consider installing wheels on the drive so that it can be easily transported.
4 Select a location for the panel. The fact is that the heater for a pool does not mean that the panel should be placed next to this unit. The most obvious place for a panel may be on the roof of a house or a shed. Just make sure the wires from the panel to the heater will come without problems. If the roof is chosen to be the resting place of the panel, the cables can be linked to the structure. Consider burying the wires if you have to crawl through a courtyard.
