How To Acid Wash and Paint A Swimming Pool
Video Series
In part one of this video series, Host Tim Casey shows you how to
properly and safely acid wash your swimming pool to prepare for
painting. In part two, Host Dan Harrison explains how to use E-Z
Patch cement patch to repair and fix walls and a walk-in step for a
plaster or gunite swimming pool. Also shows you how to repair a
cement swimming pool deck or coping. In part three, Host Tim Casey
shows you how to properly paint your inground pool.
The purpose of coatings of any kind over the
gunite material of the shell is to prevent leaking, because concrete
itself is porous. Modern pool paints are an attractive, inexpensive
way to coat gunite, fiberglass, plaster, or any other interior
surface with a smooth, colorful, waterproof coating. It is an
inexpensive alternative to other coatings.
Before painting, evaluate the surface being
covered. As with other coatings, the success of painting depends
largely on the preparation and qualities of the subsurface being
covered. Though paint is an inexpensive alternate, it will not last
much longer than three to five years and might begin to peel or
dissolve prior to that. Colors might be vivid initially, but will
fade throughout the life of the paint, especially the brighter the
original color.
As a general rule, cover old paint with new
paint of the same type. You can use water-based epoxies to cover
chlorinated rubber, but not the other way around. Always follow the
paint manufacturer's label directions and guidelines.
