A small puncture or tear in a vinyl pool liner can quickly escalate into serious water loss if it is not addressed immediately. Draining a pool to make repairs is often impractical and can introduce additional risks such as liner shifting, wrinkling, or further damage. The Poolmaster Wet Vinyl Patch Kit (30280) is designed to solve this problem by allowing effective vinyl liner repairs to be made underwater, without lowering the water level.

This kit uses a pool-specific vinyl adhesive that bonds directly to wet surfaces and cures into a clear, flexible seal. Once applied, the patch moves with the liner instead of becoming brittle or peeling away. Whether the damage is caused by age, debris, toys, or accidental punctures, this kit provides a reliable way to restore liner integrity and stop leaks before they worsen.

This is a vinyl repair solution built specifically for pool environments, not a general-purpose adhesive repurposed for underwater use.

Why Immediate Vinyl Liner Repair Matters

Vinyl liners operate under constant pressure from the surrounding water. Even small punctures allow water to migrate behind the liner, which can cause the damaged area to stretch and tear further. Over time, this can lead to liner shifting, wrinkles, loss of pool structure support, and more expensive repairs.

The Poolmaster Wet Vinyl Patch Kit allows repairs to be made as soon as damage is discovered, helping prevent water loss and stopping minor liner issues from becoming major failures. Addressing liner damage early is one of the most effective ways to extend the usable life of a vinyl pool liner.

Engineered for True Underwater Application

Unlike dry-only patch kits that require draining or lowering the pool water, this kit is specifically formulated for wet application. The adhesive cures underwater and maintains flexibility after bonding, allowing it to withstand liner movement, temperature changes, and constant submersion.

When applied correctly, the patch forms a durable, watertight seal that blends cleanly with most vinyl liners and resists peeling over time.

Designed for Vinyl Pool Liners and Inflatable Vinyl

This patch kit is intended for vinyl-based pool materials. The adhesive bonds to vinyl surfaces without becoming overly rigid, which helps prevent cracking at the repair site. It is commonly used on in-ground and above-ground vinyl liner pools as well as inflatable vinyl pool products and accessories.

It is not intended for use on fiberglass, concrete, or rigid plastic surfaces.

When to Use the Poolmaster Wet Vinyl Patch Kit

This wet vinyl patch kit is ideal when:

• A small puncture or tear is visible in a vinyl pool liner

• Water loss is suspected but draining the pool is not practical

• The damage is below the waterline

• Immediate repair is needed to prevent further tearing

• A temporary or long-term liner repair is required without downtime

Prompt repair helps stop leaks early and reduces the likelihood of larger liner failures.

Practical Repair Solution for Pool Owners and Service Professionals

For pool owners, this kit provides a straightforward way to address liner punctures without draining the pool or interrupting use longer than necessary. For service professionals, it offers a dependable on-site repair solution for situations where draining is not an option.

When used properly, a vinyl patch can significantly slow liner deterioration and delay the need for full liner replacement.
