In The Swim E-Z Patch 1 White Pool Plaster Repair Kit - 3 Pounds (Coverage: 1.5 Square Foot)

This stuff is amazing. We have an older pool that had a few chunks out of the plaster and a few cracks...and we were losing water. We watched the manufacturer's YouTube video and did exactly what they said, and it worked like a charm. Easy to apply, even underwater. You will get some loose stuff on the bottom of the pool, but it vacuums up easily. We did learn that you need to monitor your PH afterwards though. Once the new plaster was set, we needed to add a little acid to the pool. I highly recommend this product.

Used on two patches of 8 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep. dried hard and adhered solidly to the pool base - very pleased. Be aware there are two different EZ-Patch products and the labels are virtually identical - the FS doesn't have the polymer additive - I've used it and it doent work.

Pool leaking for years, finally found large gap under water where skimmer met wall of pool. Gradually added more water to powder and kneaded this until it had the consistency of clay or play dough. Went underwater with mask on and pushed it into gaps on both side of skimmer. Next day hardened to concrete like finish, pool no longer leaks, great product if mixed properly.

This product does work as advertised for the most part. I was able to patch a worn down section of plaster about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. The instructions are up front in how the job has to be done. You have to get it to the right consistency (not a problem) and the use some method of getting down to the area without it disintegrating. The instructions suggest either a ziplock bag or cupping it tightly in your hands. My patch was at about 5.5 feet, so I tried the ziplock method. I was able to get the patch in after a couple of dives, but I still lost a substantial amount in the process (you have to twist and press it into place), and this is what led to my issue. I left the pool pump off for a day to let it set.The water was quite milky from the patch material. When I restarted the pump, my filter quickly did the job of getting it clear again. However, after letting the filter run for the day, I went to clean it out. Most of the stuff seemed to come out, but there was still some residue. I tried everything to get it out but could not (anything more would have destroyed the filter anyway). I tried to run it but the pressure gauge clearly indicated the issue. As such, I wound up having to replace the filter. As it turns out, I was close to that point anyway. Yet, I would not have been happy had it been a new filter. My suggestion is that if you happen to have kept an old but still usable filter around, use that for a couple of days after applying this just in case.For smaller and more accessible jobs, this probably would work very well with no issues. On the other hand, in these cases pool putty might be a better option anyway. It's not that this does not work - it does - it is just that it can do a number on your filter for sure.

I already wrote a review!! It has disappeared. It didn’t work at all underwater. It’s completely false advertising.

I used this last year, and it didn't work so well, but thought I'd try it again.Box arrived badly damaged and open in places.There was one 3lb container of white plaster powder, and nothing else, no epoxy, so this is not a kit as stated in the description.Just to be sure, I dumped the contents out, in case they had added inside, but no. I have a feeling this may have been returned and then shipped out to be as new, the lid wasn't very tight as well.If you read the reviews, I'm not the only person this happened to, the manufacturer needs to use clear heatshrink or something similar so you kno wthe container is fresh and hasn't been tampered with.I have used the product before, last summer, it was ok, but there was a lot of washout when trying to use under water, I ended up draining the pool, and it worked much better that way.So, this is being returned to Amazon, I ended up going to my local pool shop and they recommended Perma Pool Patch, I paid $16 inc tax for a 3lb container, and I will say this, it goes on much better and seems to stick better than the EZ Patch, and costs half the price. Now, I'm not sure how or if if works underwater, but if you have drained the pool the Perma Pool Patch works great and is cheap, but you do have to work very quickly, no more than 5mins.

I am so impressed by the E-Z patch 1 Fast Set for its ability to perform underwater repair for my pool. There is an online video to show me how to use it: [...] The seller's service was also excellent. At first, a bottle of E-Z patch 1 (not Fast Set) was sent to me by mistake. After calling the customer service, the seller not only sent me the correct E-Z patch 1 Fast Set by FedEx without any additional charges to me, but also wanted me to keep the original bottle of E-Z patch 1. I will certainly suggest this product and this seller to my friends having swimming pools.

I used this to repair the seal between the skimmer basket and my inground gunnite pool. It made a good repair on the first try after following the directions. Very pleased with results after several months with no additional problems.
