You may do a lot of swimming pool upkeep and maintenance on your own, but what about pool repairs? As the experts tell us, if a repair is small, the homeowner can usually get the job done with an at-home DIY pool repair kit. However, if the job is more complex, even the best kit on the market cannot get the job done. In this article, we will discuss ways that a pool repair kit can be useful, and when it’s time to call the experts at Orange Tree Pools for a pool repair.
A pool repair kit is going will be different for above ground and in-ground pools, so be aware of this when buying your kit. If buying online, be sure to search using words such as above ground, inground, or intex pool repair kit.
When you have an above ground pool, it is prone to developing small leaks. Over time, these can worsen and if remain untreated, the water could drain out completely – albeit slowly. When the leak or crack in the above ground pool is still small, use a high-quality above ground pool repair kit to make quick fixes. Above ground pool repair kits have vinyl patches and waterproof adhesives, but a more advanced pool repair kit might even have replacement parts for things like the pump or filter, and most will include specialty cleaning products.
Inground pool repair kits will rarely feature any sort of patching compounds as this is a task for professionals. It will, however, have the replacement parts and cleaning compounds useful to owners of in-ground style pools.
When should you contact the pros? Any time the pools filter system is not doing its job is a good indicator that the situation is out of your hands. This is because your filters are supposed to run up to ten hours a day to prevent the pool from stagnating. If the water goes cloudy for several days, if filters and drains are not functioning and if anything is wrong with the surface of the pool, it can lead to trouble.
