Solution for Surf Pool Tiles
Since 2005, many water parks in China have gradually built surf pools. A few years later, with the increase in the frequency of surf pool usage, many safety hazards have gradually emerged. Whether using coatings, membranes, or tiles, surface issues have arisen, posing safety risks to surfers and causing losses due to business interruptions for operators. Foshan CityTaotao Pool TilesProfessional production of pool tiles10Based on many years of project experience, Taotao experts provide cause analysis and solutions for this issue:
There are generally three types of materials available in the surf pool market. In terms of market share, tiles are mainly used, while some owners may choose coatings and membranes, with membranes being the least used.
(1)Currently, most surf pools mainly usepool mosaics, but there are also instances of individual pool tiles falling off. The phenomenon of tile falling off is mainly related to the construction method, auxiliary materials, and incorrect selection of tile specifications.
(2)The issue of using membranes to lay surf pools.
Membrane is a short form for membrane adhesive, commonly known as a type of plastic. The advantages are low cost and low requirements. However, as a type of plastic, membranes are prone to aging. During the operation of the surf pool, if there is excessive localized instantaneous force, it can easily tear the aged parts, causing large areas to fall off, leading to safety accidents. Additionally, the construction of membranes requires a higher standard for the pool bottom surface. If the pool bottom surface is uneven, the adhesion between the membrane and the pool bottom will be poor, making it prone to hollowing. Under immense impact, this can lead to detachment. Therefore, membranes are rarely used in surf pools.
(3The issue of using coatings (paint) in surf pools.
Some surf pools in China also use coatings, but there are mainly two issues with coatings:1Coatings have relatively poor wear resistance. The construction requirements for coatings are relatively low, but during use, if the pool bottom is uneven, the protruding areas wear out quickly. After repairs, it is difficult to match the color with the surrounding area, resembling a patch, which affects the aesthetics of the pool.2Due to the long-term contact of surf pool paint with water, and generally being outdoors, under high-intensity exposure, coatings are prone to fading and aging, resulting in a shorter lifespan.
Next, we will analyze the solutions to the above problems. Since the quality issues of membranes and coatings are caused by the materials themselves, it is difficult to change them. This is also the main reason why many surf pools in China do not use these two materials. Below, we mainly analyze the reasons for tile falling off and solutions:
(1)Lack of necessary professional knowledge about pool tiles leads to incorrect selection of tile specifications. Because the water pressure during wave generation in surf pools is very high, the instantaneous pressure increase on the tile surface can cause the adhesion between the tile and the pool bottom to be insufficient. If the instantaneous thrust exceeds the adhesion between the tile and the pool bottom, the tile will fall off. Therefore, we recommend that surf pool tiles should not use small-sized mosaics, and it is best to use150mm*150mmor larger specifications ofpool-specific tiles.) The grout used when laying tiles in surf pools does not meet the requirements.
(2When laying pool tiles, it is essential to leave joints, mainly because the temperature changes significantly in the pool, preventing pressure caused by thermal expansion and contraction from leading to hollow tiles. The grout in surf pools is often submerged in water, and conventional grouts on the market are easily washed away, exposing the sides of the tiles. During wave generation, the water's impact can create vortices in the gaps between the tiles, generating upward thrust that can lift the tiles, causing them to fall off. Therefore, it is crucial to use specialized
pool tile grout, and Taotao's specialized pool tile grout can last for more thanyears.15) When laying surf pools, it is necessary to use specialized
3pool tile adhesiveBecause of long-term immersion in water, the lifespan of ordinary tile adhesives is significantly shortened, and their stickiness decreases, leading to reduced adhesion between the tiles and the pool bottom. After several years of operation in the surf pool, the immense impact force on the tile area near the wave outlet can exceed the adhesion between the tiles and the pool bottom, causing some tiles to fall off. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to use specialized pool tile adhesives, which have a longer lifespan and higher stickiness, effectively preventing tile detachment..) The grout used when laying tiles in surf pools does not meet the requirements.
By addressing the above three points, the issue of tile detachment in surf pools can basically be resolved. This is the experience gained by Taotao Pool Tiles in Foshan over ten years, and we hope it can help you!Foshan Taotao
