NEW POOLS

• Allow freshly build pools to dry for at least 3 – 4 weeks. If moister content in cement is to high it will cause the paint to blister
• Remove all loose material. Wash walls down with mixture of 1 part Spirit of Salts and 4 parts clean water.
  WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
• Thoroughly wash walls and floor with fresh clean water to remove all traces of acid. Several small washes are better than one big wash to dilute the acid
• Allow the pool to dry for 2 – 3 days. The surface must be dry before painting
• For proper penetration thin first coat 20% with SWIMMING POOL PAINT THINNER ( 2lt thinner on 5lt paint). Apply thin wash coat. Allow paint to penetrate surface
• Allow to dry for 6 hours then apply 2nd coat un-thinned
• Allow the paint to dry for 3 days before the pool is filled

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED POOLS

• Drain water from pool. Clean thoroughly with household detergent to remove all oil and dirt
• Inspect the pool and if surface is in a sound condition apply 1 coat of SWIMMING POOL PAINT straight from the can. One coat should normally be enough.
• If surface are bad, remove old paint by wetting with “thinner” and scraping of with paint scraper
• Apply paint as for new pools

NOTES

• In all cases allow paint to dry for 3 days before filling
• Do not paint in wet or damp conditions
