|
Preparation:
|
Pooltite™
Plus should be applied to a sound surface free of oil, dirt, algae
or any other foreign substance. Previous acid washing and/or sand
blasting must remove applied paints or sealers. Neutralize acid with
baking soda or soda ash then thoroughly rinse with water. In addition
to, or in partial replacement of, the procedures mentioned above,
CLI PermaKote™ could be used as a bonding coat. Re-finished pools
must be undercut an appropriate distance around all tile, return lines,
light fixtures and main drains. All weepers and plumbing leaks should
be repaired at least 24 hours prior to plaster application. |
|
Mixing:
|
1.
Using standard mixing equipment, it is important to blend each batch
for the same amount of time.
2. Mix Pooltite™ Plus with approximately 2 to 2 1/2 gallons of
potable water per 80-lb. bag.
3. Start the mixing procedure by adding approximately 2/3 of the total
water requirements to the mixer, and Pooltite™ Plus then add
the balance of water.
4. Mix the completed batch for at least 8 minutes to ensure a proper
blend of all ingredients.
5. Before using any job site additives, please consult your CLI Product
Service Representative at 800-333-2660. |
|
Application:
|
Pooltite™
Plus may be applied by either spray or conventional methods. Apply
Pooltite™ Plus over a lightly dampened (no standing water) surface
to a uniform thickness of approximately 3/8." Substrate conditions
will have a direct relationship on the thickness of application and
coverage rates per bag. If application must be interrupted, finish
to a natural break to prevent joints from showing. Pooltite™
Plus should be applied in temperatures exceeding 40†F. |
|
Curing:
|
Care
should be taken to protect Pooltite™ Plus from rapid drying conditions
such as high wind, high temperature, low humidity. Such precautions
may include fogging or misting the surface or placing a protective
covering over the pool. Cover should not be placed on the plaster
surface. |
|
Filling
Procedures:
|
When
filling a pool it is important to do so without interruption of fill
water. Fill pool as rapidly as possible. All fill hoses should have
a sock or cloth on the end. Do not allow main hose length to lay on
the plaster surface, as it will leave a mark. |
|
Water
Chemistry:
|
The
pool water must be carefully balanced from the initial fill and constantly
maintained within NSPI recommended guidelines. Maintaining proper
chemical balance from first fill is essential to maximize the life
of the pool surface. Please consult your CLI Product Service Representative
concerning start-up techniques and maintenance programs. |
|
Coverage:
|
Each
80-lb. bag covers approximately 25-30 sq. feet at 3/8" thickness.
Coverage rates may vary depending on method of application and condition
of substrate. |
|
Packaging:
|
Pooltite™
Plus is packaged in 80-lb. heavy-duty poly-lined bags. |
