    Flex tape on the inside of a pool does work. My pool is similar to yours. I got it free because someone took a knife and slit it in a couple places.
    I've had flex tape on those spots for 5 years now, and haven't had to replace it. Still holding water this pool season.
    I put a piece of flex tape inside, and outside the slit area.

      It worked pretty well. I had no issues after, but the tares weren't significant.

      I have a little hole at the seam on the bottom do you think it will hold with flex tape I barely started putting water

      Mine were on the side wall (3 slashes total) that gets alot of flexing, and it's still holding there after 6 years.
      I think the weight of the water would only help it stick.

    Thanks for the video, I didn’t know you were supposed to call your water company? They can make it cheaper?

    How did the tape work after 3 months?
    Also I use a sump pump in a file crate so the pump does not suck up bottom and water can to the pump. Works well.

    I used my water hose to siphon ours and drain it. Took a day to do it. Put about 10 foot in the pool and started the siphoning by sucking (oh God here comes the jokes) and letting it hang lower than the bottom of the pool. Drained almost all of it.

    My dogs would do sooo much worse..and the main reason we would want it is for them...to swim..so its a kiddy pool for them to cool off again.

    These pools are pretty affordable. After 3 years I'd just replace it.

      Worked for me. Although I put it on the slits with no water in the pool.
      When I filled it, it held.

      Flex seal spray can like paint didn't work for me. I used it on a concrete sink in my basement that was leaking via cracks in the cement.
      4 coats of it, and it still leaks.
      I'll be replacing that width a plastic 1.
