Use

Provides a durable, coloured, waterproof coating for DIY application to marble plastered pools. Not suitable for use on newly plastered-, fibre-glass- or previously painted pools.

Incorrect water treatment causes the surface of marble plastered pools to become rough and stained over time. The usual way of solving this is to replaster the pool, which is quite a costly exercise.

Pool Paint is designed to provide a cost effective solution to this problem. It will colour and revitalise the surface, thereby postponing the need for replastering. It will not cover defects or structural cracks. With proper water treatment and correct maintenance of the automatic pool cleaner, this coating can be expected to last for at least 4 years. It must, however, be noted that the pool will have to be replastered eventually.

Pool Paint provides a 1mm coloured layer in much the same way that paint does on a plastered wall. Because it is cement-based, the coating becomes part of the marble plaster surface through the hydration process of cement. It is not merely a surface film and will therefore be very durable.


Suitable Surface

Marble plastered swimming pools.

Not suitable for use on newly plastered, fibre-glass or previously painted pools.


Calculating the surface area

Calculation for an average 4m x 5m pool:

  • Length = 5m
  • Width = 4m
  • Average depth = 1.3m  

Therefore:

  • Floor 4m x 5m = 20m²
  • Width 4m x 1.3m x 2 sides = 10.m²
  • Length 5m x 1.3m x 2 sides = 13.0m²  

Total = 43.4m² which means 2 drums of weber.cote Pool Paint.


Coverage

Coverage is approximately 20 to 25m2 per 15kg pack (2 coats).


Storage

When stored, unopened in a dry place at temperatures above 5oC , shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.


safety instructions

Contains cement, which is alkaline when wet and can cause skin irritation. Use eye protection and gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wash skin contamination away with warm soapy water. Remove splashes to the eyes by prolonged irrigation and consult a doctor. Do not ingest.


Masking

Mask all areas where there is a risk of splashing and staining and where straight edges are required. Masking tape must be removed before the material has dried.


Good Practice

Do not apply:

  • If frost is forecast within 24 hours of use
  • In damp/wet conditions
  • In temperatures below  5oC or above  30oC

To ensure colour consistency, the material required to complete the job should be of the same batch number.


Application

Please note : Correct surface preparation is critical to ensure the proper performance of Pool Paint. Please follow the instructions below carefully.


Surface preparation

  • Prepare a solution of 1 part of hydrochloric acid and 3 parts of water in a plastic bucket. Put the water in the bucket first and then add the acid while stirring. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection.
  • Apply the acid mix to the surface using a blockbrush.
  • Scrub the surface vigorously using a wire brush and flush with clean water. Leave to dry for at least 3 hours.
  • Remove high spots and calcium build-up using 80 grit sandpaper. Be sure to remove any loose materials.
  • The surface should be very rough to the touch. If this is not the case, repeat the acid washing procedure described above.
  • Brush and vacuum the entire surface to remove dust and debris. Dust on the surface will impede the adherence of the Pool Paint. Mask all areas where there is a risk of splashing and staining and where straight edges are required.

Mixing

  • The use of a mixing spindle attached to an electric. Drill is recommended to ensure proper mixing.
  • Pour the liquid into the drum.
  • Slowly add the powder from the plastic bag while stirring. The mixture should be smooth with no lumps. A small amount of water may be added if required.
