Pool Quartz has been developed to provide a long lasting finish for the lining of both domestic and commercial swimming pools. It can be mixed to provide a range of attractive colours that will neither bleach nor fade in the treated swimming pool water, both salt and chlorine.
How is the colour achieved?
Quartz minerals that are used in the base formula are coated with ceramics in a similar manner to mosaic pool tiles, providing a colour-fast finish to the product. Oxides are not used because they fade and bleach out over time. for many decades concrete pools have been finished with white marble plaster, however marble is porous and will soak up stains and may be dissolved by acids used in treating pool water. This cannot happen with our Pool Quartz.
How long will Pool Quartz last?
Currently we have residential pools that have are still in good condition ten years after application, commercially we have pools between four and six years after application with no problems. Quartz is amongst the hardest minerals on earth, so there is no reason that the finished pool surface will not last for twenty to thirty years in a commercial pool employing CO2 water treatment, and it will most certainly out last any painted surface. Pool Quartz also provides a non-slip surface which paint will not. The product is so hard wearing that it is now being added to road-marking paint to extend its service life. Because cement is added to Pool Quartz on the day of application it has no shelf life making it for stronger than other prepared coating on the market.
Application
Pool Quartz is applied as a plaster-mix – using two parts quartz to one part white Portland cement. Additional bonding agents are incorporated and the resulting layer is between 10 mm to 12 mm thick. The product is non-bio-degradable and has an unlimited shelf life. Applying the finish under covers is recommended, and the pool filled with water within twenty-four hours of application.
We are the only manufacturer to use 100% quartz material. Others add a small percentage of coloured quartz to their product to provide a background colour, however like the other products developed by Kiwi Pool Products we are striving for perfection and benefits that will last for many years to come.
