How to make a strong swimming pool coating with epoxy

If you own or maintain a swimming pool, you know that maintaining it can be a challenge. One of the most important aspects of maintaining a pool is choosing the right coating. Epoxy coating is a popular choice for pools because of its many benefits. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to apply an epoxy coating to your pool.

Why epoxy coating for a swimming pool?

Epoxy coating is a popular choice for pools because of its durability, chemical resistance, and waterproofness. Applying an epoxy coating protects your pool from chemicals, UV rays, abrasion, and water infiltration. Additionally, the smooth finish of epoxy reduces friction and provides an easy-to-maintain surface.

How do you apply epoxy coating to a swimming pool?

To coat a pool with epoxy, there are a few steps you need to follow:

• Preparation: make sure the pool surface is clean, dry and free of oil, grease and other contaminants. First repair any cracks or damage to the concrete.
• Primer: apply an epoxy primer to the pool surface. This will ensure a good bond between the epoxy coating and the underlying material. A suitable primer to use is RESION Floor Primer. This product provides a strong and durable base.
• Coating: after the primer has cured, apply the epoxy coating to the pool surface. A popular choice is EP Colorshield. This coating offers excellent adhesion, is resistant to chemicals and has a long life. Apply the coating evenly with a roller according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Finishing: allow the epoxy coating to fully cure according to the recommended drying time. This ensures that the coating reaches its maximum strength and is ready for use. Make sure the pool is well ventilated during the curing process.
