- From www.swimmingpoo... - Learn about the three most common types of concrete pool paints; acrylic water based, synthetic rubber and epoxy. Also learn why it is important to not mix pool paints when adding future layers.
Seeing you for the first time, but you are a legend. clear and straight to the point.
I was about to head out Home Depot or lowes.. but that change ASAP.. lol.. Thank you for the info Fren, love how you explain in details all the processes to paint pool.. More power to you Sir.. Good day and GODBLESS..
I really enjoy all the information you give out.
Thanks for getting right to the point and detailed explanation. We have colored plaster pool that has large discolorations, what can we do w/o having to re-plaster? Thanks
Drained my painted pool about 18” for the winter and want to repaint the top two steps and the top -18” and need to find out what paint I have and try to get this painting done before rain fills past the second step. Can you provide more details on the tests to determine the paint type? Pool was abandoned for about 15 years and has plaster patches and maybe even a slow leak 2” below tile. Thanks! Mike
What kind of rollers should i use to paint the pool with?
I'm looking for info on how to prep a pool for repainting. Watching this video got me more confused - So, I'm not sure I should go ahead with this project. My pool is painted with epoxy paint and all info I had found about repaint it, is that it can be repainted with same paint and if the steps to ensure the surface is clean, it should have no problems bonding. I also was thinking in sanding as part of the prepping. Back to drawing board :(
Hi Steve, about 8-9 years ago I painted my gunite pool with Inslx epoxy. Came out great but needed to be redone. So unable to get inslx epoxy due to supply chain problems. I was advised by Benjamin Moore to use inslx acrylic and prep the epoxy according to their instructions. I went way overboard with the prep. We had plenty of drying time before I painted. It rained after 5 days and it bubbled. Water penetrated the paint. 8 more good days of drying and the bubbles were gone but left a mark. So it rains again and bubbles returned wherever water is. WTH! What do you think my options are?
We have the "red headed step child" of pools with fiberglass sides and concrete bottom. We lucked out and found the old can from previous owners and they used the chlorinated rubber. I painted it this year. It was QUITE a job. Would you recommend putting in a liner to painting this type of pool? My co-worker put one in hers and it looks great. Just curious what Swimming Poop Steve would do. Thanks!
Tough question. You do not have a concrete pool, you have a hybrid pool. So uncommon they never even get talked about but they are out there. They worked as a pool. The problem came to how to deal with renovations in the future. Concrete and vinyl pools, and even fiberglass pools, all fail in predictable ways with remediation options. Sometimes a hybrid pool breaks and there is nothing you can do to fix it. One example of this is a hybrid pool where they used a retaining ring at the top of the pool wall. If the deck ever lifts then the pool wall pops out of position, never to return. You cant even hang a liner in it because there is nothing to attach to around the top of the pool wall. Vinyl pools have a very heavy steel wall with a horizontal section for strength and supporting the coping. Hybrid pools do not always have this, and often they do not. It really comes down to a case by case basis at this point as to what you can (or should) do. Hanging a liner looks great in anything. It is all about how leak free it is, and more importantly, how long it will stay that way. A hybrid pool is a unique consideration. Unlike the "concrete pool" I am talking about in this video where you really should just repair your pool properly...in the case of a hybrid pool there is no alternative that you are trying to find a cheaper option for. Most of you hybrid pool owners just want any solution at all. Most pool people will not touch those with a 10 foot pole. Lots to go wrong and no playbook on how to fix it so you take on a load of liability for the same money that you make from more conventional pools (in less time). To answer your question specifically, I would use Basecrete waterproofing on the floor and then plaster (or tile) the floor. Walls get painted with a fiberglass paint. The seam between the floor and walls, and also the seam between wall panels, gets filled with a urethane product like Deck-O-Seal gun grade urethane. Hope this info helps.
@@Swimmingpoolsteve Thank you for your reply! We have a ring at the top of the walls by the deck. There are some gaps in the deck, so knowing this now worries me a bit. I will research how to fix that problem before we have issues. I could see freezing water in that gap causing problems. I really love the idea of tile for the bottom. No company that quoted us even suggested plaster let alone tile. In fact, they quoted acrylic paint which as you said here would have been a disaster. I do need to do the walls. I believe they were painted with the same chlorinated rubber paint the previous owner used, just based on what flakes off. I assume we would need to sand blast that before using the fiberglass paint on the walls. Thank you, thank you!
@@TheDailyPin Wow! I am so grateful to have stumbled onto this thread about a Hybrid pool. I am gonna email Steve today.
@@Swimmingpoolsteve Hi Steve! I am going to shoot you an email as I am also in need of some wisdom for our hybrid pool. Maybe built by Swimcraft. I was gonna have it sandblasted this week. I’ll wait to hear from you. THANK YOU.
What kind of plaster can I use with color for my pool or other ideas tha I can purchase at Home Depot thanks
Thanks! I was just about to go to Home Depot and get some products to “seal” my pool. Not worth the hassle considering I’m only renting this house.
My friend painted over the jets of the pool is their away to remove the paint from them?
How can you color match and older pool with a new patch? Can you use colored latex paint?
How can I do to paint my pool,it already have marberite/ poolcrete.can I paint on top of marberite
Will u recommend epoxy paint with bounding primer on a concrete pound
So I painted by bare concrete pool with drylok extreme because it said it could be used on concrete swimming pools. I know now that was a mistake and I now have to remove it. How do you think I can go about doing that? I tried 2800psi power washing but that did not work. Also do you know anything about the product sanitred for waterproofing?
Use a resin primer and then recoat with choice of sealer
Hi Steve. Water from a dam is pushing through a crack in swimming pool. How do you seal the crack from inside the pool?
Not really possible to do. This page looks at why that is, and how repair attempts can be made knowing this: www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/crack-repair.html
I worked for a pool contractor who would send me out to paint pools for the mooches who didn’t want to replaster Most times regardless of prep it would start coming off within a week. Nobody was happy .
Hi from down under Steve. We have a concrete pool that’s is a far percentage out of ground being on a steep slope. After several years of waiting for the efflorescence to settle, the wall to dry (I hope) and the thin cracks to settle, we want to paint the external pool wall. It’s pretty rough with the calcium build up and we’ll probably attach some sort of screening over the top of the paint. Should we use a sealer? What type of paint do you recommend?
Think of it this way.... the rough the surface the better anything will stick...the easy cleaning to keep from staining is the slicker the surface.....You will have a very hard time keeping any surface clean if its rough...May not leak but will stain.....Why when you clean your not cleaning all the oils, away from the surface...
What do you think about liquid glas as a coating for an organic swimming pool?
Absolutely a good idea, have used it many times to waterproof old concrete in basements
What's up dude I have a random question what kind of sealer do you use to put on the exposed concrete before you install a granite piece for spa spillover?
Complex question. This is a weir wall meaning wet on both sides, so you need a waterproofing system that resists hydrostatic pressure from both directions. Membrane waterproofing is only good for water pressure from one direction so this needs to be not-membrane. I like Basecrete waterproofing as an option for a waterproofing system for weir walls, but this is not an afterthought that you spray on the weir wall. The whole pool should be treated with waterproofing. It is just the weir wall that will fail first if you do not. Same with weir walls on vanishing / infinity edge pools.
@@Swimmingpoolsteve good info. Didn not have wier wall in my lexicon until just not...I should have mentioned it has tile on both sides just the top is now exposed because its a old pool so the top of spill over(wier wall) was tile aswell but in bad condition so removed them and sanded the thinset, or what was left of it, down to the bare concrete. So I just want to waterproof that top concrete before I install( thinset) that piece of granite on top of it.. went with a granite piece so it would last longer than tile with grout, for the same reason bobody puts tiles in the skimmer inlet.. alot of water erosion in those areas..but I digress.
Would any kind of deck sealer work? Or should it be some more serious like penetrating sealer? Thanks as always. I think you've answer me a question before this one
so the pool paint at home depot is not good?
Can I paint my swimming pool which has marberite or poolcrete with a oil pool paint
Thanks for this information.
5:00 - Remove the paint for analysis? Why not paint the words on the pool wall (below the water line "Epoxy Paint" or "Chlorinated Rubber". Using stencil/s. Low enough where it isn't that noticeable from above, but where it can be seen once the pool has been drained.
Hey Steve. Great explanation. This last week I have drained the concrete pool (Gunnite?) and am almost finished power washing the old layers of paint into millions flying chips. My dad must have painted the pool several times over the past 60 years. I Would imagine he used a acrylic, but not sure.
Unfortunately, it looks rather marblely and I am wondering what I might do to get the rest of the paint chips off? I do have a grinder. However, I’m only running a 2kpsi power washer and am up in the air as to whether or not I should buy a stronger power washer.
Any advice?
A pool like you describe needs sandblasting to remove all of the old paint. People do use water blasting, but with a specialized 30,000 PSI pressure washer.
Same situation millions and millions of chips everywhere! Our Pool was hand built in 1951.
We pressure washed and took a grinder to the sides. I’m hoping that’s enough there’s still paint on it, it’s not completely bare.
@@rachelharer8549 Can you please reply? How did it turn out and what paint did you use?
If i paint over concrete dont i need to still put a sealer over that?
Your just flat wrong...... a good paint manufacturer has the specs of it paint they then code it to its usefulness... Just like plaster, and concerts.... Have you ever seen a concrete block flooat.....Yes there is such a thing.... spraying on plaster or concert you can get different make-up for densely and color.... You may have to make changes after your instalment, but the best thing is know the type of install before you do anything.....
thanks! saved my ass!
If it turns to soup in my pool at least I won’t have to sandblast!
Yes but getting rid of thousands of gallons of water contaminated with pool paint is a HUGE pain in the butt. Use vermiculite to absorb paint water for disposal. Check with your local regulations, please. This is just something we figured out one day while cleaning up a pool which had a failed epoxy paint. It was a disaster.
Hard stop

Why do we have to watch a PAINT video while with your FACE as main scene. I want to see PAINT and PAINT examples. See ya
