Refill Instructions for Color Quartz Aggregate
- WE STRONGLY SUGGEST A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL HANDLE THE START-UP OF YOUR
POOL.
- Disclaimer: The procedure outlined below has been successfully used in
many installations of exposed
aggregate swimming pool finishes containing Color Quartz Aggregate. The
suitability of use of this
procedure for a particular installation must be determined by an experienced applicator, and performed by
trained professionals using good safety practices and following all applicable regulations.
- Fill pool normally, beginning immediately after installation of the
plaster is complete.
Keep you equipment off
Run pump and filter system only as directed by the contractor. Low pH water can
damage some equipment containing metal parts.
- Post a notice indicating: "No Swimming, Chemical Treatment in Progress" and follow all
applicable rules and regulations.
Pool must be closed and monitored at all times during acidification process. Put Safety First!
- Note: Muriatic acid should be used by trained professionals wearing
personal safety protection and following
proper safety procedures. Add pool-grade muriatic acid, typically 30-35% strength, at a rate of 1 gallon of
acid per 4,000 gallons of pool volume. Pre-dilute acid by pouring into 4 gallons of pool water in a 5-gallon
plastic pail, and pour into pool while walking around the edge. Rinse any spills immediately with large
amounts of water.
- Brush pool surface from deck using an acid-resistant (i.e.-not nylon)
brush. An algae brush with a
combination of plastic and stainless steel bristles may be used. Rinse brush thoroughly after use.
- Repeat the brushing twice daily for 3-4 days.
- Pool water should be tested by a trained professional and balanced to
NSPI standards. Use of a metal
sequestering agent is strongly recommended.
- Appearance should be evaluated by a trained professional. Some
unevenness of exposure is normal, and will
even out under normal action of pool chemicals and cleaning. In some cases, further acid treatment may be
necessary to complete the exposure process.
