Title: Something to seal pool skimmer case
Post by: lorca lad on April 12, 2015, 17:29:49 PM
Hi,

I have been losing about half a tile depth of water a day from my pool, despite having a summer cover on. I have now found a crack/split at the bottom of one of the skimmer cylinders (under the basket). Not sure if this is the cause of the loss, but obviously, I want to repair the damage. It does seem to be a big loss per day through this crack !!

Does anyone know of a resin type product that can be used for this and also, where can I buy it.

In the UK I could get a 2 pack epoxy product that had to be mixed together, but I have not seen this here.

Obviously, it has to be waterproof as it will be at the bottom of the skimmer.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards
L.L.

Don't know if the 'stuff' you are thinking of is Prately Putty, but this is a two pack product that can be used and sets underwater. Get it from one stop pool shop.

There is also a rubberized paint. It will fill large gaps and is flexible. It has a ten yr gaurantee.
