How to prevent swimming pool tiles from falling off
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? Here are some reasons and solutions to this problem, let's take a look.
Adjusting the pH value of the pool water can prevent swimming pool tiles from falling off. After long-term use of the swimming pool, you may find 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 that cause swimming pool tiles to fall off, the impact of pH is often overlooked. By timely adjusting the pH value of the pool water before the tiles fall off, maintaining chemical balance can help avoid this situation and prevent problems before they occur. We need to monitor the pH value of the pool water at all times and adjust it to the appropriate level in a timely manner, which is beneficial not only for the structure of the pool but also allows disinfectants to effectively perform their sterilizing function.
1. Total alkalinity, total alkalinity is a measure of the water's ability to resist changes in pH. 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 depressions on the concrete surface 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 can enter with rainwater. In the swimming pool, the acidity and alkalinity can be greatly reduced, leading to a corrosive trend in the water quality, causing dents on the concrete surface and stains on the walls of the swimming pool tiles. If acidic water 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 bisulfate or sodium carbonate.
3. Calcium hardness. When calcium hardness is low, the pool water is prone to corrosion, which can erode limestone, causing the concrete surface to sag and tiles to fall off. The solution is to add calcium hypochlorite disinfectant.
