Water Park Wave Pool Clean Up - Lets Paint this Wall!

[@DocNo27]

Something so soothing about maintenance. Love the care you and your team take of the property! Even if people only notice subconsciously, it makes a big difference. It's why Disney was fanatical about cleanliness, gum, trash, not having staff out of character front of house, etc.

I like when he calls us team... I feel special

[@djkrazykaly]

i swear, this looks like a park i have been to many times as a kid living in dallas. but its been so many years since then that i doubt its the same place. awesome paint job on the wave wall.

[@Mjminer15]

Watching your videos makes me forget about my life like I’m there 😄

[@andrew4029]

Looks good. Well done, sir.

[@appliedengineering4001]

Anyone notice the the stop motion animation of the trash moving around. I'm sure it was just the wind and the time lapsing of the camera that was doing it. But still, it look kinda cool.

[@JeffStewart78..]

Looks freaking awesome great job.

I'm working at this park this summer for water safety.

[@northstar2007]

the wall is Beautiful! one question though, how come one diddnt paint the "legs" between the inlet/outflow grates that make the waves? Aesthetic choice?

[@lwilton]

My concern with the holes is that gives water a place to get in behind the paint and be absorbed (a little) by the concrete, and over time break the bond of the paint to the concrete, resulting in peeling in a year or two. I'd suggest getting a car detailing paint spray gun from Harbor Freight for $20 or so, thin the paint you are using down to a sprayable consistency, and go along and spot spray where you need to to get paint in the holes. Probably shouldn't take any more time than the time for those two coats, and likely less. I know it is extra work, and I hate that as much as anybody does, but if I were in your place I'd do it. Using a detail gun you will have a fairly small spray pattern, so shouldn't have to be much concerned with overspray, except right along the edges. You can easily hand mask with a hunk of cardboard with a straight edge. I would personally be inclined to wear a paint mask if you have any wind in the area while painting, though I have to admit to painting quite a lot of scenery and sets without using a mask.

Looks great! keep it coming!

Awesome video

[@roxxliveracing2039]

nice timing just watched part 1 and now this is up haha

[@spokehedz]

Maybe you can turn the spots into a 'feature' by making some kind of design/spray/splatter along that back wall? I dunno.

[@Chezeehat]

Well, in an ideal world sandblast back to base concrete, put a hand trowel screed layer down, seal and then paint. But. Budgets.

It's a way better than before 🔝🔝

Looks good man, like the color choice.

[@Coaster3609]

Awesome 👍

[@JacobEvans2]

Do the pool walls ever use a waterproof thin coat render to remove the need for painting?

[@frazermountford]

God this is like watching paint dry.

[@thepoolguy]

Uhm.....

[@frazermountford]

@@thepoolguy sorry British humour - its all positive :)

[@litz13]

The difference here is that back wall is a structural part of the pump building, so it's a poured structure (and I bet THICK)... whereas the sides are a traditional swimming pool shotcrete sprayed application. It's odd though they didn't shotcrete the face of the back wall when the place was built; it would have produced a uniform surface all the wall around. I guess they were concerned it would spall off over time. You could still get that kind of uniform surface today, but it would be hellishly expensive and time consuming as you'd have to clean the surface down to stone, then epoxy coat it, and polish to a smooth surface.

[@thepoolguy]

Great observation. Not sure why I didn't think about the back wall structurally. But your right. Also, I agree about the spalling

[@litz13]

@@thepoolguy well, the answer here is obvious: you need to tile the entire pool. Then you can have great fun in your off season cleaning grout ... ;-)

Thank you, welcome to the Team

[@LakeNipissing]

I noticed the two outer grates have two vertical frames not in the others. Is there a reason the outer ones need to be reinforced?

How well with this paint hold up vs the spackle that was originally installed? I do like the look of it!

[@thepoolguy]

Don't really know, this is a test as we didn't remove the old product.

[@BattlestarCanada]

@@thepoolguy I look forward to your full feedback at end of season. Looking for an option on my pool thats shotcrete and a gel coat.

[@tom58358]

@@thepoolguy Just curious, why did you not paint the parts of the wall between the wave maker grates?

[@yerwol]

I'm literally watching paint dry.....

[@workermaster1]

Why didn't you take the grates off? Now they have paint on them.

[@thepoolguy]

They are stainless, ot will just peal off. Plus, getting those grates off are a pain in the tail

[@workermaster1]

@@thepoolguy Fair enough. I saw your older video where you had to fix the wall to get the grates bolted back on.

[@rignartporter1403]

What kind of paint did you use?

[@user-hv1hu3jh1s]

Could you technically drill all the way through the concrete and just put a bolt through it for the grates i know it sound stupid but maybe?

This has been talked about

[@jcc9537]

Hello, a question, when should I measure the overflow gutter? The pool in my town has a perimeter gutter that is between 87cm and 1.15m deep, and when there is water and people make waves, they make a very loud sound when the water falls but it doesn't bother...

[@thepoolguy]

Do you have a separate containment tank, we call them "surge tanks" or "balance tank". ?

[@jcc9537]

@@thepoolguy Yes, it is a blue tank made of plastic or polyester

hello, I want to ask, I don't know if you will answer what I'm going to ask, but I want to know how much a wave pool project like this costs, exactly what you show in the video, thank you very much

[@rascalpup5237]

So random question, Why are all pools blue? Just curious.

[@LakeNipissing]

Not always. I thought the huge outdoor 50 meter L-shaped pool with a diving well in Niagara Falls, NY where I have been swimming and diving would be blue because it sure looks that way when filled with water, but when I saw it drained and empty it is actually white with black tiles for the lines. The water makes it look blue!

[@NUTTER8291]

DAM FELLA that looks SOOOOOOOO much better !!! so what your saying is that when that back wall was made they used form work and then filled the void with concert ?? If that's the case they didn't do a very good job vibrating it or you wouldn't have had any holes !! Probably the only way your going to fill them is with another skim over the top ?

[@thepoolguy]

Yes, Stevo you are correct. They didn't vibrate enough.

[@TheDrew2022]

@@thepoolguy They didn't, but even the best vibration won't get rid off all the trapped bubbles. Local pool was done using cast and had bubbles like that. They found over time the latex(?) pool paint they used filled in those holes. Their policy was to repaint every couple months during the season, and at the end of the season, strip down to bare concrete. Over a few years the paint filled the voids so only time you see the voids are when the paint is stripped entirely, you see pretty blue dots all over.

If you want to fill in those spots on the wall, you may try this technique from Essential Craftsman kzbin.info/www/bejne/rouogGyhg991qNE
