Want me to get a gel sample for trial?

Very kind of you and we can try it but then how do we stop it happening again?  I think the resin is the wrong spec

Maintenance?

This gel works amazingly well on the rubber type poolsides as it is brushed on left to dwell then simply jet washed. The product is fully miscible in water.

Hi Jamie, this one's been passed back to the site management team.

As Kevin mentioned, this started happening from day 1 (over four years ago). It is true there was a total lack of maintenance but aside from sealing in some way I can't see what would help prevent this reoccurring. With any seal there could be implications to grip levels due to the poolside layout / poor drainage.

I am due to speak with them soon on another matter (not flooring this time) so I will see where things are at and if any new info will post.

Thanks for taking an interest and a big thankyou to Kev (and Colin) who gave up there time FOC. Very much appreciated.

Preventative maintenance. That's what is required. The one I pictured above was the same until they put in place a program using specific products. There is still one area that needs attention on a bridge over to another pool. This will need soda blasting to remove as the build up is so bad.

We did discuss soda blasting as a possibility but this isn't something we have ever done / can do. The pool will also be full and whilst this can be covered, wouldn't soda blasting be messy / expensive?

[Jamie Pearson]

Soda blasting can range from £75 - £100 an hour.

The soda is completely inert so breaks down when it hits the pool water and can simply be washed away.

The deposits can be removed by the filtration system. Its a very popular method in the states for outdoor pools as an experienced operator can remove the contamination without damaging glaze on tiles.

That's me out then

It will still need cleaning down, and on-going maintenance.

This I know, but as already stated it's now back with the site management.
