For Uncoated Pools

           

If your pool is concrete

            

                You may choose any of the fine Olympic Pool Coatings: acrylic enamel (2 - 3 years service), synthetic rubber or chlorinated rubber (2 - 3 years service), or epoxy (5 - 8 years service). Each has its unique advantages, although epoxies offer the longest life.            

           

If you have bare plaster or marcite

            

                Again, any of the Olympic products may be used, with epoxies offering the best amortized value. If the existing surface is rough, prime first with Gunzite. If smooth, prime first with POXOPRIME II before application of POXOLON 2 or ZERON finish coat.            

            

If you have a fiberglass pool

            

                The epoxy system is your choice. Over GUNZITE PRIMER, apply either two coats of POXOLON 2 or one coat of ZERON.            

            

For steel or aluminum

            

                Again, epoxy is your choice. Both of these surfaces require a special primer before the application of the finish coat.            

            

If your pool is sandblasted

            

                On your sandblasted surface (concrete or plaster) you may choose the Olympic system that best fits your service and application requirements. Remember, although more attention must be given during application, epoxies offer the longer life. Steel, aluminum and fiberglass all require the epoxy system.
