If it does rain prior to curing, you may experience blushing and the pool may need to be sanded & another coat applied.

Q – What is Precipitation in Pools and how can it be prevented?
A – Precipitation in Swimming Pools is a common issue, mostly resulting from minerals like calcium and magnesium that are suspended in the water. As a result of this build-up of minerals, homeowners often complain of cloudy, murky water. With extreme precipitation we have even seen flakes floating to the surface of the water, sediment sinking to the bottom of the pool or a fine, dust-like sediment collecting on the walls and floors of fiberglass pools.
Therefore, we believe the problems are being caused by well water being added to pools, as well as a few municipalities’ replacement water. We have also found that pools with salt water generators can have even heavier fallout and/or plating of the AquaGuard surface.
Calcium Fallout can occur when unbalanced calcium levels cause water to become increasingly unstable, especially when combined with unusually high Ph or total alkalinity levels. This can again result in cloudy water and/or scaling. In addition, warmer water temperatures, as seen in South Florida in the summer time can exacerbate this issue since calcium becomes more likely to precipitate out of the solution in warmer water.
It is extremely important to stress to all our customers to maintain their pools to the Taylor Test Kit guidelines at all times, Click here for more details
