"Don't Paint It – Kote It!"
PoolKote was developed as a tinted waterproofing medium that doesn't have any harmful chemicals like most pool sealants.
Pool paint is in fact a contradiction in terms, the term paint denotes a water and powder mix filled with some additives. It should be more accurately termed pool sealant or pool coating.
That being said there are many coating types for pools but in my experience which spans forty years in the coating game, most paint producing companies steer away from pool paints, mostly because it is a specialist field and most old technologies are outdated.
PoolKote has taken advantage of the massive innovative strides toward permanent water submersion coatings and additives. And yes it is not a cheap coating but do you want something cheap, or something that works?

Below is three videos and corresponding photos that show you a step by step process on how to properly clean, primer and apply our PoolKote.
In this video we show you exactly what tools and products you will need in order to properly clean and prepare your pool for applying our primer coating, KonKote, and of course the pool coating itself, PoolKote.
The next step is to apply our primer coating, KonKote, onto the surface of the clean and dry pool.
The final step for repainting your pool is to apply our PoolKote. It requires three coats of the liquid and to be left for 7 days to cure in order to fully protect your pool surface.
Make sure the pool remains dry as any water on the PoolKote before the full curing time will slow down the curing process and result in a longer waiting period for the complete curing process.
The final step is to apply 3 coats of PoolKote to your primed surface.
As seen in the images above, PoolKote has been applied to a pool surface with a roller.
The intense white colour of the PoolKote really shows when compared to other white paints.
As shown in the picture to the bottom left, the pool was dull but after being prepared with KleenKote and painted with our tinted PoolKote the difference is incredible.
The specially tinted PoolKote protects the surface and the colour will never fade or dull over time.
Alot of people tend to skip or completely overlook the need to properly prepare your surface before applying our product. It is so important to take the time to fully clean and wash down any surface before applying your coating... it might feel like an unnecessary step to you but it is the only way to guarantee that the product works effectively.
Another gorgeous collection of pictures from one of our customers after they had painted their pool with our PoolKote. The blue colour is so vibrant and will protect this pool for years to come. The pool itself was prepared with KleenKote and then washed down thoroughly before applying the PoolKote.
This pool was recently (2023) completed by one of our contractors and just look how gorgeous it has turned out?!
This was a very specific blue shade that the customer asked for and it certainly was an excellent choice. You can see how beautifully it contrasts against its surroundings... plus it is now fully functional for the summer months ahead!
PoolKote has been developed as a pool waterproof coating that doesn't have hazardous chemicals that could potentially cause severe damage to yourself or others.
This waterproofing paint is specifically designed to refurbish your pool, and protect it from the suns harmful UV rays that cause fading and protect it from the algae that has a habit of constantly growing in your pool.
The blue vibrancy of PoolKote will make any pool look brand new. Another wonderful feature of this paint is that the colour will not fade nor will pool algae grow on it as it has an algicide in the paint. You can paint PoolKote directly onto a pools surface (after you have painted on a prep coating) without the use of safety equipment as this coating doesn't have any hazardous chemicals that could cause serious harm to your skin or lungs.
Being a water-based product means that PoolKote is an eco-friendly product and also doesn't require harmful chemicals to clean your tools. Simply use water.
Don't just consider the coating for inside your pool, you should also think about the area surrounding your pool too. Since the pool side will have guests walking or running around you would definitely want to apply a Non-Slip coating so that they can safely walk around the pool without you having to worry about them falling or slipping on the wet surfaces.
We would recommend that you use our GripKote to paint onto your poolside surfaces. It is a clear non slip paint that also has an algicide (Algae killing additive) that will keep the area from becoming slippery due to moisture.
Show off the transformation the your home or any surface by sending us your photos of the 'before' and the 'after' effect once you've applied our product.
We will add your images to our website to help inspire others and to show just how creative you can be with out product.
