Pool Resurfacing
Over time, even the most meticulously maintained pools may require resurfacing to restore their original beauty and functionality. We are your expert solution for pool resurfacing that will revitalize your backyard paradise.
At Blu Water Pools, we specialize in providing top-quality pool resurfacing that will enhance the beauty of your pool and ensure its longevity and functionality.
Types of Pool Resurfacing Materials:
Quartz Resurfacing
This is the traditional pool surface. It is a mixture of plaster, quartz crystals, dyes and potentially other additives designed to improve the appeal and texture and lifespan of the surface. A typical quartz surface lifespan is around 10 years.
Exposed Aggregate Resurfacing
Exposed aggregate pool surfaces contain much larger rock, pebble, glass and other additives which when installed properly create a protective barrier for the plaster mix. These larger rocks and pebbles are the exposed aggregated rock surface, and the plaster sits primarily behind this as the adhesive for the surface. Exposed aggregates when installed properly have a longer lifespan with some manufacturers offering a limited lifetime warranty.
Note: any pool whose pH and calcium is not kept in line, will erode any surface regardless of the materials of construction.
Why is Pool Resurfacing Necessary?
The tropical climate of Florida, characterized by high temperatures, humidity, and abundant sunshine, can be harsh on pool surfaces. Over time, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, fluctuating water chemistry, and wear and tear can cause significant damage to the pool’s interior finish. Common signs of deterioration include chipped or cracked surfaces, discoloration, rough texture, and loss of water tightness. Besides aesthetic concerns, these issues can compromise the pool’s structural integrity and pose safety hazards. Hence, timely pool resurfacing becomes crucial to ensure its longevity and maintain a safe environment for swimmers.
Investing in professional pool resurfacing by Blu Water Pools is a smart decision to restore your pool’s beauty, functionality, and safety.
Our Process: How We Resurface a Pool
At Blu Water Pools, our resurfacing process ensures your pool will have a modern, striking appearance. Every pool resurfacing project includes the following steps:
- Preparation: Our initial consultation helps determine the scope of the project and provides the customer with the opportunity to browse through the wide array of surface options and colors we offer. When the permit process is complete, we will drain your pool according to local regulations.
- Interior Removal: After the water is removed, the existing interior is carefully chipped or water blasted away using specially designed equipment. The tile is then either scuffed or removed at this time as well.
- Added Options: Any plumbing modifications, decking changes, water features, pool equipment, boulders and other improvements are installed in this phase.
- Interior Surface Replacement: The installation process depends entirely on the surface you select. Most materials are applied through a pressurized nozzle operated by a trained technician. The material is then smoothed by a hand trowel until there are no imperfections in the surface.
- Fill the Pool: After the material has been dried and washed down with an acid wash, the pool is then filled back up with water. The fill process must not be interrupted until the water reaches the middle of the pool tiles. Filling the pool improperly can cause discoloration and negatively impact the integrity of the surface.
- Start Up: Once the pool has filled completely, all of the critical chemicals are added in order to balance the water. The pool equipment is started and the interior surface is brushed to remove any residue accumulated during the installation process.
