Proper 2 Pac Pool Paint... Oxidized Only After 2 Months
by Colin
If I paint it again, what's to stop it happening if the pool turns green with algae and have to shock dose it with chlorine? The swimming pool water is checked every week. Pool is 75,000 LT. Should I expect 4 to 6 years out of paint? Thanks for the question Colin I'm not sure how you painted the pool the last time, but this is how I did a few pools in Arizona. 2 Pack paints will harden with the addition of an activator that starts a chemical reaction. It's this reaction that causes the paint to 'harden'. The chemical used is usually isocyanate based and very toxic. The use of booths and breathing gear are a must. It's best to stick to one system when applying paints as different manufacturers use different chemicals and this can cause problems when paints are mixed, even when the paint dries. There are many different types of paint. All are slightly different according to many different application methods, protective/ decorative reasons, and different manufacturers. Be sure you're using the correct kind of primer an application method. The instructions on the can give you the best information and details. Concerning pool algae problem, if you stick to the information on this site, you shouldn't have any algae problems. This is from years and years of personal experience of being in the Arizona sun working on and maintaining pools.
