Pool Patch
Rapid Setting, High Strength Pool Repair Mortar
Pool Patch is a fast-setting, high-strength repair mortar for use above or below water levels. Ideal for pools, concrete holding tanks, and concrete pipes, it delivers exceptional bonding, is easy to mix, and resists hydrostatic pressure. Pool Patch is the ultimate solution for waterproof, durable, and efficient concrete repairs.
Pool Patch is specifically designed for quick and effective concrete repairs in challenging conditions. Its rapid setting and excellent bonding properties make it perfect for repairing pools, holding tanks, and other structures where waterproof durability is a priority.
- Effective for both underwater and above-water repairs.
- Stops water loss and ensures a watertight seal.
- Rapid setting for quick application and minimal downtime.
- Easy to mix with standard tools and potable water.
- Can be colored to match existing concrete.
- Resistant to hydrostatic pressure once set.
- Free from chlorides and metals, ensuring long-term durability.
- Moldable to the desired contour for precision repairs.
Application
Underwater Repairs:
- Prepare the area by wire brushing to remove loose or flaking material.
- Undercut the repair area for maximum bond strength.
- Mix Pool Patch with clean water to achieve a putty-like consistency.
- Apply with a gloved hand, pressing into cracks or holes until it sets.
Above-Water Repairs:
- Undercut and clean the substrate, ensuring a depth and width of at least 1 inch.
- Remove contaminants like oil, grease, and dirt using industrial detergents.
- Mix the product and apply with a trowel. Shape and smooth to match the surrounding surface.
- Allow repaired areas to cure for at least 1 hour before covering with a cementitious coating.
Important Notes:
- Do not apply to frozen surfaces or in temperatures below 35°F.
- Avoid mixing more material than can be placed within 10 minutes.
Mixing Instructions
- Mix 3 parts powder to 1 part clean, potable water.
- Ensure the substrate is saturated surface dry (SSD) before application.
- Prepare only small batches to ensure usability within the rapid set time.
