Olympic Pool Coatings 1 Gallon Zeron Blue Ice Epoxy Coating, 391 G

Olympic Pool Coatings Zeron Blue Ice, part 391 G, is a 1 gallon container of high gloss epoxy pool coating, which Olympic sells as a one coat, 2 part catalyst system for plaster, gunite and fiberglass pools.

Coverage and finish

Olympic lists Zeron at approximately 125 to 150 square feet per gallon, applied by roller or airless spray in a high gloss finish. It comes in white, Blue Ice, Bikini Blue and Blue Mist, and Olympic calls it its longest lasting coating, up to 8 years. On screen colors are only approximations, so check Blue Ice against a printed color card.

Application

Olympic recommends a primer on bare surfaces. Its procedure for Zeron is one liberal coat with a 9 inch roller cover, 7/16 inch nap, on a solvent resistant core, coating the walls first and the floor last and spot priming bare areas first. Before filling the pool, allow 3 days at 75 to 85 F, 4 days at 70 to 75 F, 5 days at 65 to 70 F, or 6 days at 60 to 65 F. On steps, shallow areas and wading pools, Olympic says to sprinkle white sand or marble dust on the coating before it dries for slip resistance.

Before you order

Measure the surface and divide by the coverage range: a 500 square foot surface works out to roughly 3.3 to 4 gallons. Order the whole job together so the color stays consistent. Zeron is a different system from Poxolon 2, which is a two coat epoxy covering 225 to 250 square feet per gallon.
