Previously Painted Surfaces

• Should be pressure cleaned with a TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) or Soilax solution to remove all dirt, oils, loose or peeling paint and excessive chalk and mineral deposits from previous use of the pool.
• Cracks, voids or failing joints must be repaired.
• Previous coatings must be checked for adhesion. All loose or peeling existing paint must be removed. Sandblasting may be necessary to prepare the surface properly.

New Concrete

• Must be at least 30 to 45 days old, clean, dry, and free of all grease, oil, and any other contaminants.
• Bare concrete should be etched with a 15-20% solution of muriatic acid to achieve a medium grade sand paper finish.
• Neutralize the acid with a TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) solution and pressure clean.
• Allow surface to dry completely before attempting to apply Dyco Pool Paint.
• Test for moisture by taping all four sides of an 18”x18” piece of polyethylene to the deepest area of the pool surface for 24 hours.
• If moisture vapor is evident, the surface is NOT dry enough to accept Dyco Pool Paint.
• Wait several days and conduct the test again.
