Review on ๐Ÿ’ป PC Pool Moldable 41116 by PC Products by Larry Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to use / Works great / Highly recommend

This product was a great choice to quickly fix a leak in my in-ground pool. My leak was on the outside of the 1ยฝ inch Schedule 40 PVC pipes that run through the sidewall of the pump return nozzle. Blast nozzle, exposing the joint between the 1ยฝ" PVC pipe and the cement/Diamond Bright wall. Before work began, a utility knife was used to dig up any loose cement/Diamond Bright around the pipe, causing the leak slightly enlarged at this point. A suitable length of epoxy rod was cut and then hand mixed until a uniform color was achieved. This mixed epoxy was pressed into the gap between the 1ยฝ" PVC and the Cement/Diamond Bright until I could no longer fill the gap could press. The leak was identified using liquid food coloring and a baby syringe of liquid oral medication prior to repair. This allowed for very controlled placement of small drops of dye into the water next to a suspected leak and then watching the water flow push it through a gap in the wall. Once the epoxy sealed the leak, the food coloring showed that the leak had been sealed.

Pros
  • -20 to +200 degrees Fahrenheit continuous operating temperature
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
