Pool paint removal

Rent a good 4000+ psi model? It was removing plaster on mine, though it was quite old.
4,000 psi is designed for cleaning, not removing paint.

It can remove loose paint, but 20 layers of paint with even moderate adhesion will be either completely useless or it will take forever.

Hydroblasting uses 10 times as much pressure.

Hydroblasting sprays a stream of water at 40,000 PSI, which easily removes plaster, epoxies, anti-slip surfaces and other finishes and tears into tough-to-reach corners.

I looked into it on my pool and couldnt find anyone for a non-insane price. Maybe more common in ither areas. I guess a rotary hammer might be the only other option.

Sorry for the slow reply,

I have tried a pressure washer - not helpful made no difference.

I contacted a workmen about sand blasting the paint - far too expensive!

I tried a chemical paint remover it would only work one layer at a time.

I'm having great results with a needle gun and airline, I'm almost at the end maybe one more day.

Thank you for all your suggestions.

I will post photos soon...
