if used in a above ground pool do you have to drain it after using to cure it?

Additional response: I believe this product self cures in wet conditions. Mine did.

You do not have to drain the pool to get it to cure however you do have to keep the filtering (pumps) off while it cures.

I've had mixed instructions on that issue--yes and no. If used for hot tub, then no, just clean the filters; otherwise, daring and refilling is probably best. I was told to allow it to sit up for at least a week before refilling and allow the jets to run as much as reasonably possible. This stuff does work, although in my case the hot tub leak did stop but has started to leak even worse, not FIX A LEAK's fault. Bill Hilly

I used it on a hot tub leak and it did not work . I think it failed to work mainly because I used the recirculation pump to mix the product as they suggest, but the leak was in a line where the pressure build up probably was too great and resulted in the product not working

I did not drain the pool. You do have to backwash to waste after several days of circulating the Fix A Leak. The instructions will tell you that you can not let your filter media go dry as I guess the Fix A Leak will clog the media. I have a sand filter and what I did was replace about a bags full of old sand with new sand just to be sure. My situation was I had a leak at the end of the season that I couldn't find. I didn't want to let the water level drop drastically over the winter so I put an entire bottle of Fix A Leak in my pool upon winterizing. I manually circulated the water (with a brush) for about 1/2 an hour, and waited a few days to see if leak stopped. Leak did stop, and so I covered the pool as usual. Over the winter the water level never dropped. In the spring I opened the pool as usual, but, as Fix A Leak is heavier than water I removed 4 o r5 inches of bottom water with a submersible pump that I moved around the pool. I then used normal opening chemicals and filtered as usual. After about a week I replaced some of the sand in the filter. Hope this helps. Sorry for the long winded answer.

I bought a small clear flexible 3/4" hose about 10 to 12 feet long from the local hardware store, and completely submersed it under the pool water, then you cover the one end with your thumb to seal it, pull the one end of the hose out down to ground level , release your thumb and most of the water will siphon out once it starts flowing if the other end is unobstructed and at the bottom of the pool. It will take a while. I usually leave it overnight and walk away and let it drain. This gets most of the water out and at that point you can get to the pools drain plug if you desire to drain all the water. A garden hose may work but its harder to plug the end with your thumb and would probably be too long I bought a small clear flexible 3/4" hose about 10 to 12 feet long from the local hardware store, and completely submersed it under the pool water, then you cover the one end with your thumb to seal it, pull the one end of the hose out down to ground level , release your thumb and most of the water will siphon out once it starts flowing if the other end is unobstructed and at the bottom of the pool.

The unit remains outdoors and does quite well. After the drain pan is cleaned, I place it over the control knob on top to keep water from potentially seeping down into the temp control. I don't know if it would but it is a precaution. As to the product, performs very well.

No, there is no drainage hole. It is a matter of dumping the water out if you use it as a pool; however, without chlorine, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to keep standing water for more than one use.

The pool does have drains in each pool(above slide and below) but they are small. I found it easiest just to drain some and then turn the pool over and dump the water but that is risking ripping the pool. One more thing..dont get this if you do not have an air compressor because im pretty sure it would be impossible to do by mouth.

I have the dehumidifier- hooked up hose to back threads and put in drain (but its above in sink) does this need to be drained in ground as it is not draining & is there something I need to turn on/ off to use continuous draining? TY in advance!

No , you do not need to irrigate after spraying. the product will seep into the ground.

yes...carefully lay it over the pool...put weights on the parts that extend over the sides and then carefully cut away the excess

Mine is above ground. I thought about building a deck around it but the drain on this pool is toward the bottom so putting it in ground or building a deck around would require a hose attached and fed out somewhere for better drainage so that you can clean it. Even at that, I normally dump out about an inch of water that doesn't drain and being in ground would make that difficult. I love the pool and someday I may figure something out but I like to clean mine regularly and so far I have not found a way to incase it in anything that would still allow me to clean it well.

Make sure the ground is level. Clear the area of any small rocks, sticks, or roots. We have used the provided tarp, sand, and old solar pool covers for under the pool, and all were fine. Very little else to worry about. The video is easier to follow than the printed instructions.

Not sure if you can use it for an above ground pool, I used it for an air mattress...sorry.

I just did. Be sure to seal it well and submerge it in a bucket or your pool for a few hours to see if bubbles come out. Since it is LED it an be tested while up outside the water for extended periods if need be, but it is not really recommended still.

Yes. Our pool started to leak after we filled it up with water. What a waste of water. It's OK right now. We patched it up with the adhesive patches that came with the pool.

Yes, that's how I blow it up. You need a rubber air tip to get it to seal on the stem of the pool but it's easy to do using an old inner tube stem or something similar. If you have an air blow tip, then a piecve or rubber hose on it will do too.

Of course I have an in ground pool and have never had an above ground pool. So with that said I do not see why it could not be used in an above ground setting. Not much of an answer, sorry.

Technically yes but I have to ask - are you chlorinating the inflatable pool? This prevents the sun from burning off the chlorine in the water so it doesn't make sense to use it unless you are chlorinating. Also, be aware that this is an acid and will lower ph which can cause skin irritation if you let it get too low. If you use trichlor pucks to chlorinate - stabilizer is already in them.

The product info says you can. My pool leaked on a corner seam about 8 inches up from the bottom on a 54" deep soft side. I used goggles and hung up side down to attempt this patch. As soon as the patch covered with glue hit the water it rolled tight like a pencil. My second attempt I was able to keep the patch from rolling but getting to the bottom of the pool without hands proved a challenge. I had my wife hold me under and got it in place. The leak slowed but did not stop. It was near season end so drained the pool and patched both inside and out before putting it away for winter. Come spring we bought a new soft side ultra frame and gave the old one away. I was told that patch did work. The product info says you can.
