THE BEACH SERIES is packaged
in 80 lb. bags and must be applied at a rate not to
exceed 15-17 square feet per bag. Coverage will vary
depending on the porosity of the
substrate.
Patch, level or resurface as required to provide a
smooth substrate. Surface must be clean, cool, dry and
free of dirt, grease, scaling paint, release agents,
curing agents, special surface hardeners, efflorescence
or other foreign matter that may prevent or inhibit
proper bonding.
NOTE: Only the experienced
applicator at poolside can make the decisions as to
what surface preparation may be required.
1) On previously plastered
pools it is necessary to grind around the tile,
lights, returns, etc., to allow for a smooth transition.
2) On previously painted
pools, the surface must be sandblasted to remove the
old paint completely.
3) Thoroughly wash the
surface with a TSP solution to remove body oils and
suntan lotions. Acid wash with a 50/50 solution of muriatic
acid and water, rinse with a neutralizing solution of
baking soda and water, then finally rinse with clean
water.
4) An application of SUREBOND
80 is highly recommended on previously plastered surfaces
as a bond or scratch coat to provide a uniform base for
adhesion and even curing.
Measuring equal amounts of water and mixing for equal
amounts of time from batch to batch will ensure product
consistency from batch to batch. Boxing different batch
#'s will ensure final color uniformity. THE BEACH SERIES
will require approximately 2-2 ½ gallons of potable
water per bag. Start the mixing process by adding ?
of the total required water to the mixer. Add the appropriate
amount of THE BEACH SERIES and then add the remaining
? of the required water. Mix for approximately 5 minutes
to bring the material to a workable consistency. Allow
the mix to set for 5 minutes, then remix and add additional
water if necessary to achieve the desired workable consistency.
Do not retemper the mix after this.
THE BEACH SERIES is a
complete product and requires no other additives. To
avoid any complications it is highly recommended that
no calcium chloride be used.
If you choose to use calcium chloride, it must be used
with caution, as "more is not better". It
is always best to use 94 - 97% purity at a maximum of
1/3 lb. per bag. If 77% purity is used, the maximum
is ½ lb. per bag. 77% purity contains 23% filler
material, which may include ingredients that could be
harmful to the finished product. Always pre-dissolve
calcium chloride and remove impurities by straining
through cheesecloth.
Prior to starting the application of THE
BEACH SERIES product it is critical to have the
drain pump equipment ready and the slurry drain system
laid out. If the pool is a re-do, it is important to
use a bonding agent such as SUREBOND 80.
1) After THE
BEACH SERIES has been properly mixed, it may
be trowel
or spray applied over a dampened substrate. The recommended
thickness is ?" - ½".
2) An initial surface coat
should be spray or hand applied on the walls and
pressed into place using pressure on the trowel. The
initial coat should be allowed to "stiffen"
slightly. A second coat should then be applied to a
total uniform thickness of ?" - ½".
3) After the second coat
has been applied and has begun to stiffen or set, use
the Premix spray wand to water wash the white cement
off THE BEACH SERIES product exposing the stone pebbles.
Make sure main pump is running to remove excessive water
build-up in bowl.
4) As the "cream"
is washed off the product exposing the stone pebbles,
hard trowel THE BEACH SERIES product compressing the
stone pebbles until a new film shows.
5) After the hard trowel
application, a light water wash with the Premix spray
wand will eliminate the "cream" that the troweling
brought to the surface. A dry roller should be immediately
used to remove standing water off all flat areas, swim-outs
and stairs.
Note: The timing of the
wash procedure can only be determined at the job site
taking into account the factors of heat, humidity and
substrate suction.
6) Spray or hand apply
the floor in one heavy coat. Trowel, allow to stiffen,
water wash and trowel a second time. Water spray with
the Premix wand to remove the "cream" working
toward the drain.
7) After the steps outlined
above, allow THE BEACH SERIES to cure. The following
day a light acid wash will remove the haze off the surface.
Immediately fill the pool with water and balance to
the Premix and NSPI recommended levels.
8) The wastewater should
be pumped into a temporary slurry bin or into slurry
bags that should be removed the
following day after it has set.
Clean all tools and equipment with water while still
wet. Cured material can be removed mechanically or chemically.
Turn inventory regularly and keep bagged product protected
from all forms of moisture, both direct and indirect,
to assure maximum product usage, uniformity and productivity.
Available upon request
The long-term performance of THE BEACH SERIES will
be directly proportional to the care taken during the
filling process, the first ninety days of pool maintenance
and consistent routine maintenance thereafter. Adjust
the chemicals to the following levels in the order as
recommended by Premix and NSPI.
a) pH 7.4 - 7.6
b) Alkalinity 100 - 125
ppm
c) Calcium 250 - 400
ppm
d) Chlorine gradually
to 2 ppm
e) Total dissolved solids
<1000 ppm
f) Cyanuric acid <50
NOTE: During the start-up
phase keep the pool pump running 24 hours a day until
the water clears. The pool should be brushed twice a
day for the first week.
A "LIFETIME" warranty is available only for
trained applicators.
The effectiveness of this product depends upon its
proper application and the condition and preparation
of the surface to which it is applied.
See specific terms and conditions of THE
BEACH SERIES pool finish as detailed on the Warranty
Application form furnished by the trained applicator.
