Aggregate Exposure Treatment
ELEMENT Exposure is applied after plaster installation to reveal aggregate in a controlled and uniform manner. Designed to work with Element plaster finishes, it supports consistent exposure results without aggressive mechanical processes.
Details
When the plastering crew finishes their job, the pool finish is completed. The following day after the plaster curates, calcium deposits will come to the surface which appear as a grey streaking over the top of your finish.
In the past, crews would use Muratic Acid which damages the plaster, the environment, and risks the health of pool workers and those surrounding the area. Also, this toxic acid would leave your pool with streaks, footprints and plaster dust.
Thankfully, Pool Wash removes these risks and provides a superior and brighter finish for your pool.
The procedures and steps you follow to use Pool Wash are simple, safe and easy to follow. You can download the complete step-by-step Plaster-Logic-Pool-Wash-Procedures Document_Here.
Once you have prepped the area and begin to saturate the surface of the finish with Pool Wash, you will use a bristle broom or brush to break down and remove the calcium deposits from the surface and expose the color of your pool finish.
After completing the pool wash process, you need to now saturate the surface with sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the chemistry so there will be no imperfections during startup. This process also makes all waste from the Pool Wash process environmentally friendly for your garden and surroundings.
Next you want to start top down and lightly power wash the surface of the pool. You don’t need a strong power wash that will streak the surface, just a light even wash to move out any residue. Work your way towards the bottom drain. Once this process is completed, blow out any standing water, and your pool is ready to be filled.
