\"\"<\/p>\n

Leading company Plugzit GmbH<\/a> is out to redefine industry standards after unveiling the world’s first and only easy-to-use alternative to a pool patch repair kit or waterproof tape.<\/p>\n

“All above-ground pool owners know that eventually, they will get a hole or a tear in their liner. It could be from a cat’s claw, or a stone flies up from your lawnmower. There are a million ways you can get a hole,” Guy van der Walt, creator of Plugzit, said. <\/p>\n

Guy says this is where Plugzit comes in, as it pushes to become a game-changer in the market that’s designed to help people fix holes in soft-sided above-ground pools. <\/p>\n

Plugzit GmbH says it takes pride in pushing for a sustainable, quick, and permanent fix for holes as a response to the patches and tapes out there that are bad for the environment.<\/p>\n

“They are usually coated with an acrylic or rubber adhesive, which is then mixed with a harmful solvent,” explains Guy. “Throw in some release backing, and ultimately, what we have is utterly unrecyclable. They can be used only once, and sadly, they are a one-way ticket to landfill.”<\/p>\n

Guy says experienced pool owners know that most of the time, the patch or tape job doesn’t work for long –– if at all.<\/p>\n

Described as “climate killers,” Guy stressed that these products also require pool owners to clean away dirt and grease, use scissors, buy squeegees for bubbles and other tools.<\/p>\n

Guy has owned various sized above-ground pools over the years. Last summer, while mowing the lawn during the lockdown, Guy said he heard a loud clang, and water started to gush out of his pool. <\/p>\n

“It took me some moments to realize that I had driven over a stone, and it had shot through the side of my pool liner,” Guy shared.<\/p>\n

He then raced to the hardware store and bought every glue, tape, and patch. None of them worked 100%.  <\/p>\n

The incident fueled Guy to come up with a sustainable solution, something that would help pool owners worldwide who have faced similar situations.<\/p>\n

He says “quick” fixes that are available on YouTube take hours and sometimes days. <\/p>\n

To use Plugzit, pool owners need to operate the gadget by holding onto the base and unscrewing the cap to disassemble. <\/p>\n

The base part thread inserts through a hole that, for example, leaks water and reassembles to fix\/plug the hole, instantly saving water. Plugzit can be attached, removed, and reused as required.<\/p>\n

Plugzit GmbH has a blog section<\/a> for pool owners. It provides helpful tips and tricks, including how to repair a hole or tear in a soft-sided above-ground pool liner and things homeowners need to know about buying an above-ground pool.<\/p>\n
