How to Apply Atlanttic Aquaciment® Microcement for Pools

  1. 1

    Step 1. Prime the Pool with Acricem Pool Resin

    Use Acricem Pool resin as a primer, applying one coat with a roller and allowing it to dry for 30 to 45 minutes.

  2. 2

    Step 2. Mix Acricem Pool with Atlanttic Aquaciment®

    Pour the specified amount of Acricem Pool resin into a container, stir in the pigment, and mix thoroughly. Then, add the appropriate Atlanttic Aquaciment® grain size and mix for a minimum of 2-3 minutes at a low speed.

    Step 3. Apply Two Coats of Atlanttic Aquaciment® XXL Microcement for Pools

    Apply the first coat of Atlanttic Aquaciment® XXL without pigment. Allow it to dry for 4-8 hours, then sand with 24-grit sandpaper. Apply the second coat, this time with pigment, and let it dry for the same period before sanding again.

    Step 4. Apply Two Coats of Atlanttic Aquaciment® XL Microcement for Pools

    To complete the pool’s decorative finish, apply two pigmented coats of Atlanttic Aquaciment® XL, allowing each layer to dry for 4-8 hours. Sand between coats with 24-grit sandpaper. For a “wet-on-wet” application, apply the second XL coat one hour after the first.

    Step 5. Seal the Pool with Two Coats of Topsealer® WT Pool Varnish

    24 hours after finishing, protect the pool microcement with two coats of Topsealer® WT Pool varnish using a roller (allowing 24 hours drying time between coats). Let it cure for 7 days.

Frequently asked questions · Documentation

1. How does the new Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement system for swimming pools improve on the old one?

The new system is easier to apply, harder and more robust, with better water resistance and vapour permeability, increased flexibility, and improved workability.

2. What is the maximum thickness of the Atlanttic Aquaciment® pool microcement system?

The total thickness should be between 3 and 5 millimetres, without exceeding this limit.

3. I've started applying Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools and it's going to rain. What should I do?

It’s essential to avoid the hottest hours of the day to ensure the temperature of the environment and the surface never exceeds 25ºC. Keep a close watch on rain forecasts; if rain is expected, pause the installation.

4. Can it be used in newly built pools?

Absolutely. The Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools is suitable for both old and newly built pools.

5. Can Atlanttic Aquaciment® be used on concrete pools?

Yes, it is fully compatible. Before applying our pool microcement, waterproof the concrete to prevent future issues with the substrate.

6. Which substrates are compatible with this pool microcement?

Our Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools is suitable for reinforced concrete formwork, sprayed concrete, and gunite substrates. This system is not a waterproofing mortar and cannot be applied on other microcements, tiles, adhesive cements, waterproof mortars, or paints due to insufficient anchoring.

7. What would happen if Acricem were used instead of Acricem Pool as Component B?

Each system must be applied as indicated in the technical data sheets. In the case of Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools, which has been reformulated and improved, it now incorporates a specific resin and varnish precisely to increase the product's performance. If Acricem is used instead of Acricem Pool as component B of the microcement and primer, the mechanical and chemical resistance would be reduced.

8. What primer should be used?

Acricem Pool must be used as the primer.

9. Can Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools be sealed with any Topsealer® WT varnish?

Although Topsealer® WT One Coat, one of our popular water-based varnishes, and Topsealer® WT Pool may appear similar, they have different chemical resistances. The specific sealer for our pool microcement system is more resistant to agents like bleach, ammonia, and vinegar and is harder with higher quality resins. Therefore, just like with the resin, Topsealer® WT Pool must be used.

10. Can the two coats of Topsealer® WT Pool varnish be applied in the same day?

There should be a 24-hour gap between each coat of TopSealer® WT Pool. Therefore, both coats cannot be applied in the same day, but they can be applied on consecutive days if drying times are strictly followed.

11. Can I pigment Atlanttic Aquaciment® in a custom colour?

Technically, yes. The "Natural White" colour is actually the base microcement without pigment. However, as manufacturers, we only guarantee the Natural White and White, which are the two options in the Atlanttic Aquaciment® colour chart.

12. How should a pool coated with Atlanttic Aquaciment® be maintained?

Maintenance is similar to that of other pool types. However, we recommend cleaning with water pressure and refreshing the final layer of Topsealer® WT Pool varnish by sanding the surface every 1 to 2 years, depending on the condition.

13. Is the application process the same for the pool basin as for the edge?

The application process for Atlanttic Aquaciment® pool microcement is the same for coating both the pool basin and the edges, border, and surrounding area.

14. How long should I wait before filling the pool with water?

The pool can be filled with water seven days after sealing.

15. I want to use Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools on terraces. Can I?

Although Atlanttic Aquaciment® microcement for swimming pools is designed as a system for swimming pools and other surfaces, its high hardness allows it to be used on terraces.

16. Is Atlanttic Aquaciment® compatible with saltwater pools?

Yes, it can be used without any issues.

17. I have a pool coated with the old Atlanttic Aquaciment® system. Can I apply the new formula?

We do not recommend applying the new formula over the old system.

18. How is Atlanttic Aquaciment® pool microcement applied using the “wet-on-wet” technique?

To apply Atlanttic Aquaciment® pool microcement with the “wet-on-wet” technique, apply the fourth layer one hour after the third layer.

19. How can I achieve a smoother finish with this pool microcement?

To obtain a smoother finish, sand each layer with 24- or 40-grit sandpaper, depending on the hardness of the product. Alternatively, apply the "wet-on-wet" technique and use a water spray on the final layer, smoothing it with a metal trowel.
