Swimming Pool Restorations without Chemicals
One of the most significant concerns expressed by our clients is the negative impact to the landscaping and local environment that chemical paint stripping involves. Sandblasting is hugely destructive to fibreglass and is not a viable solution for those types of pool liners.
Soda Blasting provides an environmentally sound alternative to sandblasting or chemical paint stripping methods. Below are some situations where Dustless Blasting was used to renew the appearance and interior walls of established swimming pools:
- New home buyer inherited neglected pool that needed reconditioning
- 15 year-old pool with cracks required concrete paint stripping
- Area surrounding pool area was stained with tar and paint spills
- Cracks and pitting in pool shell needed cleaning prior to refinishing
- Hotel indoor swimming pool resurfacing
- Graffiti removal from the interior of outdoor pool
Benefits of Soda Blasting for Swimming Pool Renovation
A major advantage of soda blasting over chemical paint stripping is that the solution is bio-degradable and gentle to the environment. It is also non-toxic and is used to clean food preparation equipment. There is very little pre-work required and you don’t have to remove chrome fixtures or rubber gaskets as you would when using sand blasting for your swimming pool renovation. Below are some of the reasons why our client chose soda blasting over chemical strippers or sand blasting:
- No preparatory cleaning required
- No manual scraping
- No damage to surrounding surfaces
- Minimal taping and masking required – safe to rubber gaskets and chrome plating
- Cleans the toughest, deepest cracks and tiniest corners
- No hazardous conditions to surroundings – non-toxic, food grade solution
- 100 percent environmentally safe, non-toxic and completely biodegradable
- Mobile sand blasting teams provide fast turnaround
Do I need to strip old pool paint before repainting?
If the existing coating is flaking, chalky or incompatible with the new one, yes. New pool paint bonds poorly over failing coatings, so blasting back to a sound surface gives the new coating the best chance of lasting.
Can you blast fibreglass pools?
Yes, with the right media and pressure. Soda blasting is gentle enough to strip coatings from fibreglass without damaging the shell.
Does the pool need to be empty?
Yes. The pool is drained before blasting, and the spent media and old coating are cleaned out before your resurfacer or painter starts.
