My above ground pool is toast, my kids (ages 13, 10, 8, 4, and 3) were crushed.. I was given a different one, got it set up last night after pressure washing etc given the amount of alge, it wouldn't hold water (it had water in it when I first saw it so it didn't have a problem at that point) it's got numerous cracks in the bottom of the liner (metal frame w/vinyl intex pool). Is there any way to do a quick fix to get this thing to hold water until I can afford a new one next year? I've thought about flex seal, silicone, truck bed liner and have even considered liquid nail and thick plastic. I'm at a loss, these kiddos are crushed and I've spent 3 days of literal blood sweat and tears for what seems like absolutely no reason 🤦🤦 photo is of the pool in question.

Once the Intex liners begin to rip they are toast. You'll be chasing leak after leak. You can try vinyl patching or flexseal as you mentioned (it doesn't really matter because this liner will go in the trash after this season) as long as the pool is empty. Some vinyl patches can be used under water. Be prepared as you fill it for further tearing to occur. If it gets too bad it gets dangerous.
