unfinished 1980's pool

Ойын-сауық

this is quite an interesting one here with this pool they started to build it during the 80's and I've since learnt the owner was doing it himself but as he had a job he was always quite busy and every summer said he would get it done but never got round to it! so 30 odd years later me and @ThePoolSquad are here to finish it off, apart from the surround which the customer is going to do himself! I know it would have looked so much better in the video but here we are!

    Being in the pool business for over 45+ years, this pool should have been sandblasted and then plastered as to not see all of the defects in the pool walls. There's too much black mold/stains in embedded in the walls to just paint over it, not to mention, you never paint concrete without putting a primer coat on it! Especially epoxy. You could have at least acid washed the pool then neutralized it with a TSP wash. (Tri Sodium Phosphate) Good luck with the paint lasting on improperly prepped walls. That little electric pressure washer is defiantly not enough to clean the walls properly. Next time you use epoxy paint, just roll from the 6 gallon bucket and quit wasting time putting it in a rolling pan. You can lay it down thicker too that way. No need to waste the money and time with a clear coat. That's just silly and serves no purpose other than wasting the customers money and your time! I hope you cast a little sand on the step to make them non-slip! Remember, any job worth doing is worth doing it right!

    You have been in the pool business for 45+ years and you are calling that "black mold/stains"? I have had many a laugh at customers referring to algae as "mold" but I've never heard a fellow professional refer to algae as "mold". I do agree with your assessment that the pool should have been plastered though. Never paint a pool. It is a cheap and unprofessional surface for a pool and it will leave your customer extremely disappointed in a couple years when they have to pay another huge bill to have it all redone. In every industry there are the jokes of horror stories that professionals agree shouldn't have happened and are made into memes to make fun of the amateurs that would make the mistake of doing something so dumb.. painted pools are the joke of the pool world. Don't do it.

    I think you are completely overlooking the fact that the customer may have insisted on painting the pool as opposed to anything else, sometimes as a professional you can suggest the best alternative but the paying customer may still insist despite your consultation and advice (it’s always subject to affordability). I don’t know if you live in USA but another factor to consider is the weather conditions in the UK are completely different to the US.

I am no pool person, but I have seen a lot of these videos and most acid wash the walls and floor then heavy duty pressure wash. That is not what irritated me the most though. The fact they filled the pool and called it good without any landscaping done, who does that? Shouldn't you landscape the trim first prior to filling the pool so the debris does not get in the pool when you landscape the outside?

    I’ve been in the pool industry for over 35 years. A licensed pool contractor in Florida for over 25 years. After the housing crash of 2008, I’ve done many pools in similar condition. Painting a pool is the ABSOLUTE WORST way to finish your pool. Save up your dollars and have it Pebbled by a qualified installer. In only a couple years the “Paint” actually epoxy, oxidizes and all the caustic chemicals get in solution, which get in you and your kids mouth and stomach. Pebble Tec or comparable product, is the most Natural product, and guaranteed for life. I’ve personally done over 400 over the past 25 years. I’m always amazed, no matter how old the job, (20+ years old), it still looks like brand new. AND, it’s gorgeous!

    I have a small 12ft pool, one with the steel ring and pool liner. I sunk it 18" deep with 1" of polystyrene insulation all around, then decking up to the final level. I've learned that fish will never starve from the amount of insects that fly in it. Also, chemicals cost a fortune - with direct sunlight you are constantly fighting algae growth and the chlorine evaporates at an alarming rate. I put in a 40Kw Kerosene boiler which works great for my pool as it's not used often. It's amazing how much heat water takes. My boiler can manage just over 3'C per hour (10 tons) so 3 hours in middle of summer can bring it up close to 30'C and it loses about 6'C overnight. Unless that pool has a decent cover, solar heating (with fuel boost - solar is no good if it wasn't sunny yesterday) and good insulation then it will cost £1-2k per year to keep usable ... assuming you get rid of the trees. I'd love to make a proper pool but I'd do it in a conservatory next time, perhaps under a false floor.

    Yep, heating water takes enormous amounts of energy. That’s why high-efficiency washing machines (and modern dishwashers) focus on using less water: less water = less water to heat = less energy used. (The energy to run the machines’ motors is negligible in comparison.) What I find fascinating is the _vastly_ larger amounts of energy needed to change water’s phase (from ice to liquid, or from liquid to vapor). It’s absolutely massive: it takes about 5 times as much energy to take liquid water at the boiling point (212F/100C) and turn it to vapor (at the same temperature!) as it does to take liquid water all the way from the freezing point (32F/0C) to the boiling point!! (Going from 0C ice to 0C water “only” takes 3/4 of the energy needed to take liquid water from 0C to 100C.)

  • @tookitogo

    @tookitogo

    11 ай бұрын

    What’s less obvious is that evaporation (at any temperature) requires the same amount of energy for the liquid->vapor phase change. So any water evaporating from the surface of the pool is stealing heat energy from the remaining water. (The same effect as why we feel cold when blowing on wet skin. It’s also how swamp coolers work.) So if you are able to cover your pool to stop evaporation when not in use, you’ll lose way less heat.

    Pour a concrete deck around it, probably a patterned stencilled deck and this thing would look fantastic. I started life in a country bungalow built into a hillside with a "second floor" concrete swimming pool built into the rear of the house. When we could afford to run it back in the 1980s it was a really nice unit with tile around the top part of the pool wall and a typical water slide on the deep end. I was a toddler and never got to see it as a pool through the remaining years we had the house. Now that pool's been filled in, from what I hear and that makes me a bit sad.

    I agree. Should have been plastered. I'm a retired painter. Any kind of paint under water on concrete won't last very long. Unless there is something new and impervious I don't know about. I agree with the 45 yr veteran pool guy.

    Nice of you to take this nasty clean out on. But did you read the instructions on the paint bucket? So unfortunately this paint won't last. Infant it likely blistered then peeled. First pump out. Then pressure wash with cleaner like Comet or Ajax. Then Acid wash the concrete followed by p2p solution. Surface will be free of dirt and oils. Then wait like 3-5 days to completely dry out. Then sweep up everything. Then primer then epoxy paint atleast 2 Coats. Then wait 7 days to cure. Keep it dry as possible. Then fill...Sorry to be like an Authority. But I've been painting pools 45 years. So I am...but now you know to read directions and follow them.

    I did actually jump ahead and found even more that could have been improved. I would have pressure washed the concrete with a hydrochloric acid wash to remove the algae, etc...then skim coated the cement so it would be smooth again. You painted over mold, algae, god knows what else. I think you're going to run into problems down the road but as I said before, I wish you well.

    You missed something! The vermiculite! It’s the white Portland cement and marble dust mixture which is applied over bare concrete and is the thing that seals the concrete from leaking. I speak with 16 years in the pool business. You do need bull nose tile for the apron or concrete flats. Since you painted it instead you will have to strip off the paint and apply the vermiculite but what’s in your favor is the paint will fill in porous concrete structure deep pits.

    Although I can’t disagree, imagine the landscapers come in and finish up the whole yard, then the pool guys fine they need to replace a whole section of pipe which needs to be replaced and the ground needs to be dug or whatever. No matter which finish the owner chooses - resin, stone, flags etc a pool cleaning fee will always be less than replacing all the again.
