The MicroGlass Benefits
MicroGlass converts the soft calcium in your finish into a hardened compound. This conversion fortifies your pool’s Plaster, Quartz, or Pebble Finish– extending its lifespan and durability.
Pool chemicals make it safe for you and your family to swim. But did you know they also destroy your finish? MicroGlass minimizes chemical damage on and within your pool finish and reduces the natural degradation caused by salt, acid, and chlorine.
MicroGlass strengthens the pigmented cement within your pool finish. Strengthening your pigmented cement in your pool finish also safeguard from color loss– keeping your pool visually stunning and vibrant.
With MicroGlass protection, future surface stains become easier to clean with chemicals or brushing.
MicroGlass hardens the cement that holds your pebble and quartz in place.
We recommend following the NPC startup guidelines. However, keep in mind, your calcium levels will balance much more quickly with MicroGlass.
When is MicroGlass NOT recommended for existing pool or spa?
If the pool plaster is seriously damaged, and clearly due for replacement, MicroGlass won’t fix that. However, if there is still some usable life in the pool or spa, the MicroGlass treatment will give you noticeably more life than the simple acid wash alone.
If Calcium Chloride Set accelerators were used on your new pool, see these instructions for how to properly apply MicroGlass.
