Reasons for the tiles falling off in the swimming pool
What causes swimming pool tiles to fall off? This issue is believed to be a concern for many pool users. So how can it be resolved and avoided? Below are some reasons and solutions for this problem, let's take a look.
1. Adjust the pH value of the pool water
The pH value of the pool water is simply the pH value of the pool water. After long-term use of the swimming pool, it is found that the tiles on the bottom and walls of the pool become loose and fall off, leading to water leakage. At this point, repairing it requires time and manpower. Among the reasons for the falling off of swimming pool tiles, the impact of pH value is often overlooked. Timely adjustment of the pH value of the swimming pool water before the tiles fall off can maintain chemical balance and avoid this situation as much as possible, thus preventing problems before they occur. We need to monitor the pH value of the swimming pool water at all times and adjust it to the appropriate value in a timely manner, which not only benefits the structure of the pool but also allows disinfectants to exert good bactericidal effects.
1. Total alkalinity, total alkalinity measures the ability of water to resist changes in pH value. This ability is also known as pH buffering capacity. It is a mixture of hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, and carbon dioxide. Low values can also lead to surface depressions in concrete and peeling of swimming pool tiles. The solution is to add sodium carbonate to adjust the total alkalinity.
2. When the pH value is low. Due to economic development, a large amount of industrial waste gas and automobile exhaust is discharged into the air, and these exhausts contain nitrogen and sulfur compounds that enter with rain. In the swimming pool, the pH value of the pool can drop significantly, leading to a corrosive trend in the water quality, causing depressions on the concrete surface and stains on the swimming pool tile walls. If the acidic water quality is maintained for a long time, the tiles will fall off. The solution is to adjust the pH value to around 7.5 using sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.
3. When calcium hardness is low, the pool water is prone to corrosion, which can erode limestone, causing depressions on the concrete surface and tile peeling. The solution is to add calcium hypochlorite disinfectant.
2. Improper selection of pool materials
Due to a lack of understanding of swimming pool materials, using swimming pool tiles, or using inferior swimming pool tiles to save costs, both have the following characteristics:
1. Shortened lifespan, usually starting to fall off in large areas after six months of use;
2. Severe water seepage, impossible to clean;
3. Glaze peeling, corrosion, and porcelain damage.
Especially in hot spring pools and warm water swimming pools, this is more likely to occur. Therefore, incidents of swimming pool tile peeling and mosaic peeling causing harm to users are also increasing.
