So, how do you choose a pool Paint?
Today I "googled" simming pool paint and quite honestly was shocked to see the number of products on the market today.
I will not claim mine is best or trash any other product, but in order to assist you let me point out some of the reasons for concern.
Here you will see some claims & lies, and my suggesion is to avoid these products.
"....... Paint is the highest-quality pool coating available" How do they know?
"A single application lasts up to 8 years" a single coat really?
"One coat of ..... ...... Paint over Epoxy Primer delivers a stain-resistant, ceramic-like finish to all pool surfaces" One coat and ceramic-like, its either ceramic or not ceramic?
".....tougher than any pool paint." Really ! have they tested them all?
"....offer a complete line of acrylic paint, chlorinated rubber paint and epoxy pool paint for the beautification, restoration,...." so which one is best?
"....This superior high build epoxy swimming pool paint is formulated to provide the longest lasting finish of any pool paint." How can that be possible, have they tested them all?
".....Due to legal restrictions, this paint is not available for sale in the following areas: California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia" Why? becuase it is banned there as it contains solvents and is not environment friendly, but they won't tell you!
".....is a rubberised ceramic" This takes the cake. It is either rubberised or ceramic. Have you ever heard of a woman being half pregnant?
Avoid products where the website does not give a fixed known address or fixed phone line.
Avoid products where they make claims and cannot show any proof of claim.
Avoid solvent based paints, they are bad for you and the environment.
Avoid pool paints that only require one coat, any pool coating with a dry film thickness less than 450 microns (0.45mm) may fail.
Do look at pool paints that have been around for several years and give traceable references.
Do look at epoxy pool paints (not solvent based) in preference to chlorinated rubbr or acrylics.
Do have another look at my product and place your order http://www.line-a-pool.com
