aquaBRIGHT™ by ecoFINISH
A NEW ERA OF LEAK-PROOF POOL COATINGS IN SPAIN
Before the 1980s, swimming pools were coated in a silky white rubber-based paint finish. In addition to the smooth texture and bright white look, this type of paint was known for its durability against stains and imperfections. However, government regulations banned some of the crucial ingredients that made this product maintenance-free. New paints became weaker. Blistering, chipping, peeling, and fading began to appear on resprayed pools in as little as six months.
Many swimming pool builders in Spain and elsewhere switched to plaster and tile finishes. Plaster has its own set of issues, in the form of a long and complicated start-up process (Hot-Start), as well as issues with staining, shrinking, cracking and leaks. aquaBRIGHT™ by ecoFINISH was scientifically developed to present a solution to these problems. The long-lasting thermo-polymer finish, aquaBRIGHT™ is the wave of the future.
PyroPool is proud to be an official installer of ecoFINISH products in Spain.
NO MORE INSTANT FILLING
If left alone, most curing masonry finishes will dry out and crack if water is not immediately placed in the pool. Because of this, it is a common practice to truck in water to protect the new finish. Once installed, the aquaBRIGHT finish is cured. You can fill that day, the next day or the following week; thus eliminating the need to pay for water.
COLOR UNIFORMITY
Compared to colored masonry finishes, aquaBRIGHT® has a more uniform color across the entire swimming pool and as the pool ages, the installation of an aquaBRIGHT finish will not “mottle” or fade in larger blotchy clouds.
Why Pay for Truck Water?
Many chemicals need to be pre-mixed with water before adding the product to the pool. Usually this is to protect the finish of the pool to prevent problems like bleaching and etching. Our plastics are chemical resistant and unlike masonry finishes, aquaBRIGHT can be acid washed with very little impact to the surface and the color.
Why Pay for Truck Water?
Pigments are like commodities, there can be great variations in cost, depending on the color you choose. Sometimes the difference can be so great it becomes the sole determining factor in choosing the color scheme for your pool. Every standard installation of residential and commercial aquaBRIGHT finishes are one awesome low price, so choose away and pick what you like and not what you can afford.
Why Pay for Truck Water?
When did owning a pool mean that you need a degree in chemistry? Old timers used to treat their pools with two things chlorine and muriatic acid. Unlike masonry finishes, the non-porous, smooth and pH neutral aquaBRIGHT finish won’t counter balance with your swimming pool’s water chemistry. We’re not saying with the installation of aquaBRIGHT that you’ll only need chlorine and acid, but due to the nature of plastic, you’ll spend much less time balancing your water chemistry and more time enjoying your pool with your family.
Why Pay for Truck Water?
Looking for a colored aquatic finish? Colored masonry coatings typically require a two week start up process called a “Low alkalinity burn” or a “Hot Start.” The process normally involves your pool company pouring muriatic acid into your pool to burn the leaching calcium off the curing masonry. Since aquaBRIGHT is a durable, plastic finish, it does not require any caustic or complicated start up process after installation. We call our start up process “Balance and Swim”.
