This manual describes the installation methods of Diamond Brite™ & Quartz series exposed aggregate finishes.
Diamond Brite is an exceptionally durable swimming pool and spa finish developed to answer the demand for a longer lasting, more colorful finish resistant to traditional plaster problems. It utilizes insoluble quartz aggregate and polymer modified cement to withstand harsh environments and allow for multiple acid wash cleanings without permanent damage.
The document details procedures for determining material coverage, preparing new or resurfaced pool shells (including etching and sealing), mixing the product with specific attention to batch numbers and water quality, and applying the finish. It emphasizes that this manual is a reference source intended for experienced applicators.
Under ideal conditions, use 25 square feet per bag to calculate the number of bags needed.
The shell must be fully cured for at least 28 days before proceeding with the plaster work.
Mix the material for a minimum of 5 minutes but no more than 10 minutes.
