How To Use Pool Fix

NP Digital

Key Takeaways:

  • Underwater Application: Pool Fix is designed to bond even when fully submerged. You do not need to drain your pool to fix loose tiles or seal small leaks.
  • Resistant to Pool Chemicals: This formula is highly resistant to chlorine and other pool treatment chemicals. It will not degrade or discolour over time when exposed to treated water.
  • Preparation is Vital: Even though it works underwater, the surface must still be free of algae and slime. Scrub the area with a stiff brush before applying the adhesive to ensure a long-lasting bond.
  • UV Stability: Pool environments are often exposed to harsh sunlight. Pool Fix is UV stable, meaning it will not become brittle or crack under the Australian sun.

Professional Pool Maintenance and Repairs

Repairing a swimming pool often involves expensive drainage and downtime. Soudal Pool Fix eliminates this need by providing a crystal-clear sealant and adhesive that works instantly in wet environments. Whether you are sealing the rim of the pool or fixing a tile at the bottom, Pool Fix provides a permanent, flexible bond.

Step-by-Step Application Instructions

  1. Clean the Surface: Use a brush to remove any algae, dirt, or loose debris from the area. A clean surface ensures the adhesive grabs effectively.
  2. Prepare the Cartridge: Cut the tip of the cartridge and screw on the nozzle. Cut the nozzle to the desired width for your joint or repair.
  3. Apply Pool Fix: Load the cartridge into a caulking gun. Apply the product steadily to the rim of the pool or directly onto the back of a loose tile.
  4. Spray Finishing Solution: Lightly mist the joint with Soudal Joint Finishing Solution. This stops the sealant from sticking to your tools.
  5. Smoothen the Joint: Use a smoothening tool such as Soudaglatt to level the sealant. This creates a neat, professional finish that is comfortable underfoot.

FAQs

  • Can I really apply this product underwater? Yes. Pool Fix is a specialised adhesive that cures in the presence of moisture. It is specifically formulated to be applied directly into water-filled joints.
  • Is it safe for salt water pools? Absolutely. Pool Fix is resistant to salt water, chlorine, and common pool chemicals. This makes it suitable for all types of Australian swimming pools.
  • How long before I can swim? The product begins to skin over almost immediately. While it reaches full strength over 24 to 48 hours, the seal is effective as soon as it is applied and smoothened.
