Applying Acid Stain to Concrete Pool Walls

By Chris Sullivan – ChemSystems, Inc.

Question:

Can acid stain be applied to existing concrete pool walls to add color? How will it hold up underwater?

Answer:

Applying a stain to pool walls is not a good idea. Over time the stain will be leached out by the water. Sealers will not hold up for long periods of time underwater either. I always recommend using a pool plaster designed specifically for underwater applications.
