Overview:
A new generation of waterborne, acrylic emulsion pool paints which can be applied over most types of pool coatings in good condition, as well as bare concrete or plaster surfaces. WR-1000 Series pool paint can be applied to slightly damp surfaces, dries quickly for recoating, and withstands continuous submersion in fresh and salt water.
Limitations:
- Apply when material, air and surface temperatures are between 10 °C (50 °F) and 32.2 °C (90 °F)
- Always apply two (2) coats of paint at the recommended spread rate
- Avoid painting in direct sunlight or when rain is forecast within 3 days. Do not paint if surface temperature is within 5 degrees of the dew point.
- Avoid use in hot tubs and spas due to high water temperatures.
- Not recommended for stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized, fibreglass, steel or vinyl lined pools.
Application:
Stir product thoroughly to assure uniform pigment dispersion. This product is self
priming on the substrates listed above. This product is formulated to be applied
without thinning. If thinning is required, thin only with clean water. This product can be applied by Brush, Roller or Spray. Roller application is preferred. Follow spread rate recommendations. Do not apply heavier than recommendations. Always apply two coats of pool paint. Brush: Synthetic bristle / Roller: Nylon or other synthetic roller cover. 6.35 mm – 12.7 mm (¼” – ½”) nap.
Surface Preparation:
Surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free from all oils and grease. Use a heavy duty citrus based cleaner / degreaser. Hand scrub at the water line where oils from sun tan lotion will tend to migrate.
Unpainted Concrete: Following a thorough cleaning, new or previously unpainted
concrete pools must be etched with a 10% solution of muriatic acid, evenly applied until it ceases to effloresce. Then thoroughly triple rinse with clean water and allow to dry 3 days. It is extremely important to ensure that all traces of acid are thoroughly neutralized and rinsed away. Use a Solution of 1lb. Baking Soda to 5 Gallons Water.
Unpainted Plaster (Marcite/Gunite/Diamond Brite): Following a thorough
cleaning, new or previously unpainted plaster must be etched with a 10% solution of muriatic acid, evenly applied until it ceases to effloresce. Then thoroughly triple rinse with clean water and allow to dry 3 days. Unpainted Fibreglass / Steel: Waterborne Pool Paint is not recommended for these substrates.
Previously Painted Pools: Scrub surface with a Pool Cleaner to get rid of all
chalk, scum, oil, dirt and suntan lotions. Flush with plenty of clean water and
let dry. Scuff sand with 80 – 100 grit sandpaper or equivalent. Rinse off sanding dust and allow to dry 24 hours.
