Small holes and punctures may occur in rubber liner over a long period of time from falling rock, small animals, and other unplanned accidents. These tiny ruptures, even pinhole-sized, can cause leaks of substantial amounts of water daily, but they can be patched relatively easily using Firestone EPDM Patch Tape: available in 6-inch wide single-sided, and 3-inch wide double-sided types. Once the cause of the leak is discovered, or the puncture in the liner is found, begin by reducing the water level below the damaged area. Next, clean the area thoroughly and apply a primer such as Firestone QuickPrime Plus (see below.) Place a piece of Double-Sided Patch Tape large enough to completely cover the damage in the liner, with plenty of extra coverage. After, set a piece of Single-Sided Patch Tape completely covering both the applied primer and the Double-Sided Patch Tape. The primer and both pieces of tape should be set, cured, and dry after only 30 seconds. To be sure, allow a few hours of time before refilling to bring the water level back up to normal.
