Where to buy Ramuc Pool Paint

Mega Pool and Spa sells Ramuc pool paint.

Epoxy swimming pool paints are typically the most durable and suitable for swimming pool applications. Epoxy paints are commonly referred to as “Marine Paint”. This type of paint includes 2 parts, the resin and hardener. Most epoxies mix at a rate of one to one to form a resin. Over time, epoxy film with become chalky over time.

The other main type of swimming pool paint is Acrylic Swimming Pool Paint and does not require a hardener or catalyst system like an epoxy paint does. The paint is a polymer resin, but a lot of pool paints are water based. This means that the paint is suspended in water, not oil. Therefore, it’s a lot easier for the homeowner to apply since the fumes are not as strong as they would be with an oil based paint.

There are three different types of swimming pool paint you could buy: Epoxy, Acrylic, or Rubber Based.

It is a lot of work to paint a swimming pool, so first decide if you really want to put in the effort. Sometimes, you could just get away with a good cleaning. You may want to consider an acid wash if your current coating can handle the cleaning.

As with any paint job, preparation is probably 99% of the key to success. First, make sure the type of paint you choose can be applied over your existing paint. Not all paints are compatible. The paint could wrinkle or lift due to the chemical reaction.

Once you’ve selected the color and type of pool paint, epoxy, or acrylic, it’s time to drain the pool and take out any obstructions.

Scrape or sand off any flaking or peeling paint and and feather the edges.

Make any repairs to cracks or anything with your choice of caulk, cement, or other products.

Read the manufacturers label for the pool paint you’re using to ensure you use compatible chemicals and materials.

Clean the pool with an muriatic acid solution or per your pool paint instructions.

Rinse the acid off and clean with trisodium-phosphate, TSP.

Final rinse the pool with clean water.

It is best to pump all the water our and thoroughly let the pool dry. Blow out any water that could run out of your skimmer, drains, etc.

Some paints require a primer coat, some are self priming, so read your paint instructions.

Most paints are applied with a standard NAP roller. You probably want to buy an extension to make the rolling easier. Use a brush for corners and hard to reach areas. Start in the middle and work your way to the corners (Just Kidding)… start in the deep end and work your way out of the shallow end.

Wait a few days, longer for some paints, before filling your pool back up with water.

Where to buy cheap swimming pool leaf catcher?

At www.megapoolandspa.com, we sell discount leaf nets for above ground swimming pools and inground swimming pools. Our covers come in a variety of sizes for round or oval aboveground pools. Our Inground Leaf Lets are sold in rectangular sizes and we have them in a lot of different pool sizes.

A Swimming Pool Leaf Net is normally placed over a solid winter swimming pool cover. A pool leaf catcher is a lightweight, mesh type cover made from polyethylene material. The gaps of the netting are about 1/8 square, so this cover is primarily used to catch leaves during the fall and winter months. Since this cover is placed over the solid winter cover, you can remove the leaf net and clean off the leaves without removing the winterized pool cover.

Normally, most people will leave the cover on the pool until all the leaves have fallen from the trees around your pool. Simply slide the cover off and most of the leaves that were ontop of your above or inground swimming pool will be dragged off.

You buy swimming pool leaf nets in “Pool Size”. The covers have a 4 foot overlap so you can properly secure the cover. Our above ground swimming pool leaf nets include a cable that you thread through the grommets of the cover and tighten with the included winch. To install an in ground swimming pool leaf net, you would simply slip your water tubes through the loops that are made into the cover.

Our leaf nets come with a 4 year manufacturer prorated warranty.

How do you figure out the number of gallons in a swimming pool?

It's important to know how many gallons of water are in your swimming pool. A lot of swimming pool spring startup opening chemical kits are sold based on gallons and it's important to know so you can properly add the right amount of chemicals during your normal maintenance.

To determine how many gallons of water are in your swimming pool, you basically multiply the length, width, depth, then we also use a "multiplier".

If you have a sloped pool or a pool with a deep end, you just figure the average depth. Take the depth of the shallow and deep end. Add them together and divde by two. This gives you a rough estimate of the average depth. If you have a flat bottom pool, you guessed it, your average depth is just the depth of your pool

For Round Pools, you multiply the diameter (in feet) times the diameter (in feet) times the average depth (in feet) times 5.9 (the multiplier).

For Oval Swimming Pools, the calculation is roughly the same, but we change the multiplier. To figure the amount of gallons in an above ground swimming pool, it's length x width x average depth x 6.7 (our multiplier).

For rectangular pools, our equation to figure the amount of water in a swimming pool is lenth x width x average depth x 7.5(our multiplier)



Once you figure out how many gallons of water are in your swimming pool, you can buy the right amount of swimming pool chemicals.
