This is the best product ever made by man. Not only that it has saved the lives of 1000000s of children and puppies by just existing
1:21: "Your professional installer will know the proper Polymeric Sands to use." This is not always true.
Like rather he uses the same kind on every job and doesn't care one way or the other.
After fully power washing our patio to remove the weeds and moss growing between the bricks followed by a cleaning step with a Zep product using a push broom and a thorough washing again with a power washer, I resanded yesterday and wet it down to activate the polymer. It's been dry with no rain overnight. Can I seal the patio before the 48 hour dry time mentioned in the video? Thanks.
Awesome Video. I am a born and raised Pennsylvania girl who located to Florida. We had pavers installed at our pool. The "professional " who did the polymeric sand didn't tamp it down or refill. After 4 months of swimming and water on the pavers, the sand is lifting from the joints. With the help of your video, I am going to tackle the resanding of the pavers myself. Thanks so much. I will research and make sure I get the right kind of sand for Florida sun and swimming pool.
This is a rip off. Just by listening to them you could tell that they are bunch of crooks.
It cost just $15k to $20K ... Just as easy as paying for a burger! It is just 20K ! lord lol
What company installed the patio? Really nice work
Should a sealer be used on top of polymeric sand?
wow nice resort and place, just amazing
People have been wanting this for years!🎉
100% agree!!
I inherited automatic pool cover with my house and it’s a nightmare! Can not let collect water or snow and Have to keep pumping water or it will possibly break. expensive to get anyone to even look at what’s wrong before you even get an estimate to fix it!
Yes, as you can see in the video, it is very important to have a pump to remove water build up. If you would like, please contact me at [email protected] and I can see if I can provide any additional information for you.
I am interested. How can I get an estimate?
Poly sand sucks
Mask mask mask
?? I think that I have polymeric sand.. but it’s dark and sinking just a little. The sand doesn’t seem to be the answer. Regular sand doesn’t match our dark color…🤷♀️It is now 3 years old.
Can you Seal over Poly Sand ?
Just curious. Is polymeric sand a source of micro plastics? I know that micro plastics are now ubiquitous in our world. I am not sure if they pose a danger to our health or that of other organisms. If this product is a source of micro plastics, should producers be required to label the product, at least giving purchasers a choice?
@1:45: Those bond lines run too long unbroken. @4:25: "Up to 15 plus years" covers all numbers, so it's not very informative.
This product is absolute garbage. I have used it on several projects in the past and it has failed EVERY TIME. It lasts a few months and then starts breaking down and falling out of the joints. I have had to replace this product with regular jointing sand by scraping out this garbage product out of every joint when it failed. Not to mention if you use this on a natural stone it will stain it as well as fall out after a few months. Overall I would say I have lost at least 25K replacing this product on various projects. I don't know why they can even sell this product as it does nothing it promises.
Bag says no dust lol covers the guy in dust bag says no blower so the guys use a blower.
Can you recommend any pool cover companies in Southern California?
Automatic pool covers are a money pit, salt or not. The installation will cost thousands of dollars, usually $5000+, and even a warranty replacement of the fabric after the third year or so will cost upwards of $2000, replacing the fabric with a new every 7-10 years is another $2000, replacing or repairing parts will be $500-2000+, etc. JMO. Solar is the way to go. Just a few $100 every few years to replace the material.
Could you please elaborate? What do you mean by “solar”? Is it a type of cover?
Beautiful job
So many wrong things in the video. Shouldn't have used the blower at all. Its blowing the sand out. Not to mention using the blower without mask. And then spraying out the sand instead of using the misting function. I think the blower and water spray dislodged 50% of the sand.
You have to blow it off or it will harden on the top of the pavers when you activate it with water.
@@GrandNational66 But the bag says 'No Blower' 🤔
@@ro63rto its compacted...ive done it...N.P... U have to remove excess that broom doesn't if you don't when you wet it. it'll on harden on the surface
The trick, at least on flagstone, is to carefully pour it into the joints to avoid getting it on the surface in the first place ... Then you mist the cracks with a backpack sprayer very close to avoid getting the top of the paver wet at all then once the the sand starts to dry up, LIGHTLY blow off the surface. @@GrandNational66

Really nice seeing our coverstar products in the field. I’m a millwright at the Latham Pool Corporate HQ plant that makes the coverstar troughs and end caps. You guys do great work!
Hi Ron, we are fans for sure! Thank you for your quality work!
This man's lungs are going to fill with polymeric sand, which will harden with the moisture, creating health problems over time. He should be wearing a well-fitting KN-95 mask or construction mask.
He doesn’t care.
@@stevethewallbeater9907 they didn't ask if he cares or not they just made a statement.
Any companies you know that are quality like you obviously do (and as a contractor I see the difference) that are in Florida Orlando area? I want an auto cover but it’s hard to find a good system and a good company. Any help would be appreciated Thanks
Thank you! We utilize the coverpools t4 stainless steel cable system on our pools. Your best bet would be to contact a licensed dealer in that area for guidance. Good luck!
IMPORTANT TIP: POLYMERIC SAND REACTS TO WATER/MOISTURE. WEAR A MASK WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT, UNLIKE THE "PROFESSIONAL" IN THIS VIDEO UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR LUNGS TO TURN TO CEMENT.
That is one highly qualified pool cover guy!
You're telling us! We are lucky to have him as a partner!
How much is 15/30ft ?
Hello👋🙋♂️ there... Amazing and very interesting video🎥... Super like👌👌👌 Great information and very helpful🎥 Do keep posting Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Can this be done without the compactor ?
I’d suggest using a hand tamper or rubber mallet
We use a 2 by 4 wood , or rubber hamer
would this work for a pool that isn't rectangle? I have a pool that is like a Kidney shaped pool
We make covers that are custom built to fit ANY shape / size! Check us out for more info 😊 or email us! [email protected]
When you open up the bag is it dry or a bit moist? I just picked up a bag and it was moist. A few clumps that would not break up at all. Thanks.
Not the creator but should not me moist any moisture present will cause it to start curing
The sand should have been 100% dry. The bag must have had a small hole in it.
Probly bought paver sand BASE and not poly sand . Base sand does come wet sometimes
I'm looking are an automatic pool cover that can also help heat my pool similar to a solar cover. Do they make semi-translucent or translucent pool covers in a automatic pool cover style?
Thank you for your question, Jessie. No, none are translucent. However, the vinyl on an automatic cover acts as a solar blanket. The darker the fabric, the more heat it will attract. - Josh H.
Complete waste of money where I live
Why did he use a leaf blower? Alliance has "No Blower" written all over the bag and in their product videos.
Because he's a pro and he knows what he's doing. Lol
Probably old habit. The older versions of polymeric would leave a haze, so it was recommended to use a gentle blow across the top of the pavers prior to activating.
I did a polymeric sand with red brick that had some surface crevices. The polymeric sand was speckled. I used a leaf blower, and thought it was good, and it was beautiful wet. But when I dried, I was left with some white spots, and a haze. I think I should have used a dark red sand. Anyway, is there a fix to ring back the red, or do I need to have a redo? Power wash a again with a different sand?
use Brick Stain and restain them to the color you were looking for. They will look brand new regardless of age.
I think you could use muriatic acid to get the haze to release, maybe the spots too. Wear an organic vapor mask imo. wet, apply acid and dwell, rinse. Should help a ton. Or Maybe use a wet look sealer? Do a test area before full project for whatever you try.
I did this and it did not harden. I was very disappointed spent so much time and energy. I have to do it again
Hi Donna, we're sorry that you had issues with your polysand. Every type has specific installation requirements. We always recommend having a professional do the installation. However, if it is an issues with the product, you should reach out to the manufacturer directly for advice. Good luck with your project!
Does poly sand gets softer when raining?
Hi James, we reached out to our partners at Alliance and this was their response. I hope it helps. "Yes, polymeric sands do soften when they get wet and harden again as they dry out. This is the natural performance cycle of a polymeric sand, which gives it the important characteristics of flexibility and self healing in a flexible paver system."
@@PSW-Living Thank you very much!
Polymeric sand dust causes cancer. Good luck.
Why can't I see this video? Can everyone else see it?
I like the "spinny area" for shoes/whatnot [in corner] in the one closet and sliding shelves for shoes! Should help keep dust off them!
Can u washed it by pressure washing
Wow! The house furniture looks stunning. I'm surprised with how great it looks. I just subscribed! I've been buying dozens of patio sets this last month at garage sales around my area and repainting them and selling them for extra money. Would love to get your opinion on my latest patio set video. Reach out! My IG is @flipmandan
This sand sucks
Where can you buy this same brand of polymeric sand?
Hi, Eric. Thanks for reaching out! Please copy and paste this link for more info: 03C-TDS-GatorMaxxBond-G2-GMB-G2.pdf (alliancegator.com)
Good video. But I think you’re lucky if you get four or five years out of it at least in the Midwest.
I love the transition from the design to the actual "after" shot!
Very impressive, Donnie! The chairs and umbrella in the water are great. Who wouldn't want that!
