Hello, 9 months ago coinciding with a big overhaul in the equipment room I regrouted the tiles gap with Laticrete 1600.
I brush the pool weekly and every week I notice a relevant amount of grout being detached that is visible with big blurring in the water with the grout color. Initially I thought that was normal considering the recent work but after 9 months continues the same and some tiles separators are starting to be visible.
I didn’t know about the curing process and I filled the pool and added salt since the very beginning. Looking at Laticrete 1600 specifications seems that should have been cured for 2 weeks.
After speaking with the pool builder they assume their fault and they are going to attend this with the warranty, this means that they have to remove some of the current grout and apply new grout and let it cure for 2 weeks. They insist that they use Laticrete 1600 in other paces without issue
I have learned that the correct product to do this would be epoxy grout, they agree with that but it seems that it is much much more expensive, they agree to use epoxy grout if I cover the cost difference between the original and epoxy.
I have some questions:
- The epoxy grout that we have here is Latricrete Spectralock, looking at the specifications seems to be appropriate for this use ¿any opinion about that?
- Do you have an approximate rough order of magnitude idea about how much product would be necessary per square unit considering that is a regrouting?
