Will be having a 10 year old Esther Williams aluminum pool installed soon. Wondering what type of paint and what process should I follow for the copings and rails/uprights? The majority of the factory finish is still on but parts are starting to flake off and the aluminum is exposed. Obviously...

Greetings from an American living in France (climate similar to CT without the deep winter freeze). I really need and would appreciate your input on a finishing layer for a concrete block pool I built myslelf - Right now it’s just the rendered cement with water repellent - flat bottom about 4...

I have an in ground salt water pool and the paint on my ladder flaked off at the end of 2019 - the section underwater only. I first tried Rustoleum because it matched the hammered metal look so well, but that peeled off by fall 2020. In 2021, I tried a Pettit paint from a marine supply store...

Hi to everyone. We have had our pool now for 27 years. I drained the pool due to a leak, osmosis, black spots, rust and just a complete restore. Have had different quotes from painting to lining the pool. Prices have ranged from $6000 to $12000, to removing $7000. I have looked at paint...

Hello Everyone, We have an inground pool and certain sections of the white edging (not sure if that the correct term) needs to have cracks repaired and fainted areas painted. I don't know what the best way to repair/fill in the cracks (or) what kind of paint I should be using. I found the site...

Okay so I might have made a stupid mistake. I built a PVC pool cooler/aerator to try to combat the high temperatures here in Houston. It works pretty well but it was raw PVC so I wanted to spruce it up a bit and painted it with some Rust-Oleum spray paint. None of the area that I painted will...

I just moved into a house which had an 8'x20' Modpool with a Fastlane Swimjet from Endless Pools installed about 18 months before we purchased it. Unfortunately the bolts holding the window had some rust and upon closer inspection I found some rust spots in the container wall near the window...

Hello all, I'm a wanna-be do-it-yourselfer trying to figure out if I should (or even can) de-stain my 1,560 ft3 fiberglass pool or paint it. Here's my dilemma: First, what the heck is this? This pool has been empty...

HI everyone, New to the forum and have a question. We have a concrete deck that has never been painted or stained in 15 years with some cracking but not much honestly. We are thinking of improving the look, powerwashing and painting it and wondering what products are recommended (Cool, etc.)...

Hi all, I have a Saltwater LX 8000 AGP pool from The Pool Factory, seems to get good reviews even on these site forums. It's a nice pool, get lots of compliments from installers and pool people that come by. It's painted/coated steel wall/beams with stainless wall at skimmer and all resin...

Quick backstory: This house was purchased three years ago and the 50 year old pool's surface was in disrepair. We hired a local pool installer company who prepped and painted the surface with this: Ramuc Type EP Epoxy Pool Paint. After our second Michigan winter with this paint job, the paint...

Epoxy pool coatings are known to “chalk”. I am think of repainting my pool with epoxy but want to prevent it from chalking. I have seen postings online saying to keep the alkalinity levels at 150ppm and to ensure the calcium level is at least 300 ppm. I have tried this but the epoxy still...

I had originally posted below in 2012. Not much has changed other than the pool may have only been open 1 year or so since I posted. The photos attached are from 2013. As you can see the pool stained a bit between when I acid washed in 2010 and the photos in 2013. Apparently I didn't care...
