SURFACE CLEANING

If your pool is chipping or peeling, scrub with a wire brush. If your pool is chalking or fading, use a stiff nylon brush to remove all loose chalk. All surfaces need to be cleaned with a tri-sodium phosphate type solution to remove dirt, grease and oil.

SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces then need to be acid etched with 15% to 20% solution of muriatic acid or sulfuric acid. On a previously painted surface, this process will remove any mineral deposits. On new or bare concrete surfaces, this process should achieve a medium sandpaper type texture. Neutralize your surface with TSP and rinse. No residual acid should be left on your pool. Note: follow manufacturer's safety precautions prior to using any acid products. Never pour water into acid. Always pour acid into water.
