Anti-algae pool paint is one of the best pool paints that is used on the walls and floors of different pools. The most important feature of this type of paint is preventing the formation of algae and moss in the pool. This color is very popular with the special transparency and gloss it creates. The gloss created next to the transparency of the pool water can give a special effect to the pool. By using pool chlorine , you will have clean and healthy water in the pool. This article of Jahan Chemical Physics magazine introduces us to the anti-algae pool color and its properties.
The reason for using anti-algae paint
One of the common problems in the maintenance of any pool is the formation of algae and moss in the water, which requires a high cost to fix. One of the most important ways to solve this problem is to use pool chlorine and disinfectants. Another method that can delay the formation of algae in the pool for some time is the use of anti-algae pool paint. Both the presence of anti-algae substances in the combination of these colors prevents the formation of these disturbing substances and the uniform surface created by the color prevents algae from sticking to the pool wall and floor.
On the other hand, if the algae is attached to the color of the pool, it can be easily washed with water without the need for detergents. Suctions, salted pool floors, and pool sweepers are tools that can be used for this purpose.
Special properties of anti-algae pool paint
One of the special properties of anti-algae paints is that it is resistant to chlorine ions and copper sulfate, which are used to disinfect swimming pool water. Resistance to wear and pressure is one of the other mechanical properties of this type of paint and it tolerates a temperature range between 30 and 60 degrees Celsius. Also, this color can be used in all types of weather conditions.
It should be noted that before using this paint, the working surfaces are dry and healthy and any cracks and breaks have been repaired. There is a wide color range of anti-algae pool paint and it is available in 5 and 20 kg packages.
The color pigments of these types of colors are stable and have good resistance to sunlight. Mechanical and hydraulic pressures do not peel this paint.
Solvent-based pool colors are more durable than water-based pool colors.
How to apply anti-algae paint
Various tools such as roller, brush and compressor gun are used to apply this color. First, the desired surfaces are cleaned of all types of pollution and dust. Also, the surface must be dry and free of moisture, because after the first layer of paint is applied, the existing moisture tends to escape, which simultaneously separates the paint from the body and causes it to peel off.
It should be noted that this color should not be applied during the rainy season, and in winter it should be protected from freezing. Because the coldness of the surface causes the resin in the paint to become non-adherent and flaky.
Also, avoid using it during strong wind, because it dries quickly, the color will not be cured and the quality will decrease. The best temperature for applying anti-algae pool paint is between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius and in the morning or evening.
The presence of porosity and cracks in the work surface causes more paint to be used. In general, for every 3 square meters of surface. one kilogram of paint is used
Applying anti-algae pool paint along with regular chlorination based on measuring the amount of chlorine in the pool provides a clean and completely healthy pool for swimmers. With the use of pool chlorine and the destruction of various microorganisms, the transmission of various digestive and skin diseases is eliminated.
