Is your pool paint peeling, fading, or hard to keep clean? This blog will show you why more pros pick ecoFINISH for long-lasting and better-looking results.

Key Takeaways

  • ecoFINISH coatings last over 10 years. This is at least three times longer than most pool paints, which need repairs every 2 to 5 years.
  • Installers can finish jobs up to 60% faster with ecoFINISH because it sprays on quickly
  • The nonporous surface resists stains and algae much better than regular paint
  • Owners save money with ecoFINISH since there are fewer repairs, less cleaning, and less time waiting for the pool to be ready

Drawbacks of Traditional Pool Paint

Traditional pool paint fades and peels fast. Most types last only 2 to 5 years. Sun, chlorine, and weather break down the coating quickly. Surface cracks appear in as little as one season.

Water soaks into porous paint layers, causing stains and algae growth. Frequent touch-ups become necessary; some pools need painting every summer.

Harsh chemicals wear away at weak coatings, leading to high maintenance costs. A new coat requires draining the pool for days and waiting for each layer to dry. This long process keeps pools closed longer than installers or owners want.

ecoFINISH’s Key Advantages for Installers

ecoFINISH lets installers finish pool resurfacing jobs up to 60% faster than with pool paint. The spray application covers surfaces fast. Workers do not need long waits between coats, which cuts project delays.

The nonporous surface resists stains from leaves, chemicals, or sunscreen lotions. This means fewer callbacks for spot repairs once the job is done. ecoFINISH coatings last over 10 years, which is at least three times longer than most paints used on pools.
