At Chemical Concepts, we love to have fun and soak up the sun! In the northern parts of the country after long, cold winter months, spring finally arrives and it’s time to start the process of getting pools and spas ready for the warm summer days. There is nothing worse than seeing a ripped liner, a pipe cracked, or a slight crack in the fiberglass wall.

Most people (like myself) leave the water in the pool during the winter months – draining the entire pool is almost guaranteed to damage the vinyl liner.  Pipes can crack due to lingering water in the lines, which are vacuumed before winter. Inground pool walls crack due to age; if the wall crumbles, the pool has to be drained and the whole wall has to be repaved and tiled, or new a new liner must be installed.

Chemical Concepts has the answer to problems that can arise thanks to our pool patch kits and specialty adhesives! Today, we are going to walk you through some of our favorite pool repair kits and how they can be used so you and your family can enjoy the summer cooling off and splashing around.

H2O Glue Pool Patch Kit

Residential and commercial pools are equipped with a heavy-duty vinyl liner that’s placed on top of the rough cement foundation to prevent injury. On in-ground pools, the vinyl liner sits atop cement or fiberglass; above-ground pools have liners on the metal surround. If that liner begins to leak, you can risk damaging the cement foundation and wasting plenty of money in water replenishment.

Fortunately, our H2O Glue Pool Patch Kit comes with everything you need! With no messy tubes of glue and professional-grade strength, these vinyl patches can be applied underwater to avoid draining and refilling your pool. These are PERMANENT patches and are perfect for not only vinyl pool linings, but also beach balls and vinyl floats as well!

Chem-Set H2O Kit Professional Pak

Your pool lining isn’t the only thing that can spring a leak. What if the pipes or main drains burst during the cold winter months? Have no fear – the Chem-Set H2O Kit Professional Pak is here! Containing 2 tubes of H2O AquaBonder and a Pak-50 dispense gun, our Professional Pak is designed to rapidly cure at room temperature with minimal surface preparation.

H2O AquaBonder is a toughened structural adhesive ideally used to bond ABC plastic, fiberglass, and PVC. It is also extremely durable to outdoor weathering and solvent exposure, so it only needs to be applied once. Simply apply the mixed adhesive directly to the surface in an even layer, assemble the fixture with the mating part, and apply firm pressure to minimize gapping.

Chem-Set H2O Bulk Repair Kit

For big pools (or big repairs), trust our Chem-Set H2O Bulk Repair Kit to keep you prepared for any emergency. The handy carrying case keeps everything you need contained in one easily accessible place. Containing the same H20 AquaBonder as our Professional Pak, you’ll receive four tubes of adhesive, our Pak-50 dispense gun, mixing nozzles, fiberglass cloth rolls, mixing boards, and 6” beveled edge spreaders for precise application.
