About US
Innovative Pool Finish Protection Products. For Pool Pros. By Pool Pros.
Spray-applying MicroGlass is not rocket science. But our manufacturing process certainly is.
In 1999, the brilliant mind of William Reed revolutionized the pool industry with a groundbreaking liquid delivery system. This game-changing technology seamlessly infuses pool finishes with glass-like nanoparticles, ensuring superior protection and longevity.
What started as a closely guarded secret among Reed and a select group of pool builders is now a widely acclaimed solution, trusted on thousands of pools and spas annually by pool builders and renovators, plaster applicators and pool service professionals.
