Was given a glorified bum washer by my neighbour for free. Was a bit dirty and giving error code so I cleaned it up and replaced the pump. Eventually got it up and running last night but now noticed there's a leak. Looks to be on the base,ie. a water leak not an air leak.

What are people using to repair these? I'd hope there was some mega tape I just plonk on and job done?

Look up repair kit for inflatable ribs, I reckon that would be up to the job.

We have a small hole on the base of the kids inflatable pool. It's a big one, bigger than most inflatable hot tubs.

I've just gaffer taped over it on the outside, might be gorilla tape, can't remember but it's been fine for two summers! Think the weight of the water on the tape keeps it sealed....

Get a patch kit from a swimming pool supplies company. The plastic liners in pools are quite vulnerable to damage and repair kits are commonplace.

Flex Tape FTW

Edit: I've only seen a video infomercial formit. But they build a speedboat out of it so it must be good!

Lol 😂

I was looking for a fix like this. Don't even bother draining it, just slap a bit of tape on! Unfortunately it doesn't look feasible. I've already started draining it and will dry down area, clean with IPA and apply proper vinyl glue and repair patch 😔
