Preparation and Safety

Before applying the patch, ensure the area is free from debris and the patch size is appropriate for the damage. No special tools or draining of the pool is required for application.

• Surface Condition: The surface to be patched should be as clean as possible. Remove any loose dirt, algae, or debris.
• Patch Selection: Choose a patch that extends beyond the damaged area by at least 1 inch on all sides. The patches are pre-cut to 2.75" x 4".
• Environment: These patches are designed to work in various conditions, including underwater.

Application Instructions

Follow these steps for effective application of the Burro Adhesives pool patches:

1. Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the area around the leak or damage. Remove any debris, algae, or dirt to ensure optimal adhesion.
2. Choose a Patch: Select a patch that is larger than the damaged area. The patch must extend beyond the edges of the hole or tear.
3. Peel and Apply: Carefully peel the backing from the patch. Position the patch over the damaged area. Once applied, the patch cannot be easily repositioned due to its strong adhesive.
4. Press Firmly: Press the patch down firmly, working from the center outwards to remove any air bubbles. Pay special attention to pressing down the corners and edges.
5. Hold and Set: Hold the patch in place with firm pressure for at least 2 minutes. If possible, apply weight to the patched area for a short period to enhance bonding.

Maintenance and Longevity

Once applied correctly, Burro Adhesives pool patches are designed for long-term durability. They are engineered to withstand various environmental factors:

• Chemical Resistance: The patches are resistant to harsh pool chemicals, preventing degradation and yellowing.
• UV Protection: Built-in UV protection technology helps prevent the patches from breaking down due to sun exposure.
• Temperature Resilience: The adhesive maintains its bond in varying temperatures, from heat to cold.
• Weather Resistance: Effective in rain, wind, and sun, providing a reliable barrier against moisture.

Troubleshooting

If a patch does not adhere properly or a leak persists, consider the following:

• Poor Adhesion Underwater: Ensure the surface was adequately cleaned before application. Even underwater, removing loose debris or slime is crucial for the adhesive to bond effectively. Apply firm, consistent pressure during application.
• Patch Peeling: This may indicate insufficient pressure during initial application or an unclean surface. Re-clean the area and apply a new patch, ensuring firm and prolonged pressure, especially around the edges.
• Leak Persists: The patch might not fully cover the damaged area, or there could be additional damage nearby. Inspect the area thoroughly and apply a larger patch or additional patches if necessary.
