Common Problems with Painted Pools

My Pool Paint is Fading

Painted pools will begin to fade over time. Nothing will stop this, but you can “brighten-up” the paint with a light acid wash. Acid will remove any dirt and chalking that can dull a paint job. After cleaning the pool with a light solution of muriatic acid and water, rinse well and refill the pool
.
My Pool Paint is Chalking

Some painted surfaces will begin to break down over time. The results can be dull, hazy water, as well as a white powdery residue that can rub off on hands, feet and bathing suits. To avoid this, water chemistry and maintenance are the key.

My Pool Paint has Blisters and Bubbles

Blistering is almost always caused by improper preparation. The pool paint must be applied to a clean dry surface. If the paint is applied too thick, or if the surface is too hot or warm, or if the pool is not cleaned properly, it will blister. Application temperature will also affect the final result. The only thing to do is repaint the pool or the spots that have blistered.

Quality Pool & Spa has been painting pools for 20 years, and has painted hundreds of them in that time. We suggest painting your pool in the early spring or early fall before it gets to hot or to cold.
