Swimming Pool Waterproofing System

Leak-Proof, Durable, and Chemical-Resistant Waterproofing

The Swimming Pool Waterproofing System in Dubai is a specialized solution
designed to make concrete pools fully watertight, protecting against water leakage,
hydrostatic pressure, and chemical exposure.

It utilizes cementitious, crystalline, or membrane-based systems to form a
continuous, seamless, and chemically resistant barrier, ensuring long-term water
retention and structural protection.

Purpose & Key Functions

The EPDM waterproofing system is engineered to:

Prevent water leakage through cracks, joints, and porous concrete

Protect the pool’s structural integrity from corrosion and carbonation

Resist hydrostatic pressure from both internal water and external groundwater

Provide a smooth, compatible surface for tiles or pool finishes

Ensure durability under continuous water immersion and chemical exposure (chlorine, salts)

Working Principle

Cementitious & Crystalline Coatings: penetrate and seal concrete capillaries

Together, they prevent water passage and provide long-term chemical resistance

Liquid Membranes: form a continuous elastic waterproof film

Sheet Membranes: act as a physical barrier

Step-by-Step Application Process (Two-Component Flexible Cementitious System)

Surface Preparation

Ensure concrete is sound, clean, and roughened
Ensure dry, sound edges; grind or saw-cut irregular gaps to create a uniform profile.
Fill cracks, voids, and honeycombs with repair mortar or epoxy filler

Treatment of Joints & Corners

Apply a polymer-modified mortar fillet at wall-floor junctions.
Install PVC or rubber waterstops in construction joints if applicable
Reinforce corners, joints, and penetrations with mesh/fabric

Mixing the Coating

Mix Part A (liquid polymer) with Part B (cementitious powder) into a smooth, lump-free slurry
Avoid adding extra water unless specified

Application

First coat: apply evenly using brush, roller, or spray (approx. 1.0–1.5 kg/m²)
Second coat: perpendicular to first coat for uniform coverage
Optional third coat for large pools (total thickness 1.5–2 mm)

Curing

Air cure for 24 hours, then moist cure 2–3 days using damp cloths or light mist
Avoid direct sunlight or strong wind.

Tile Application

Ensure waterproofing is fully cured and dry
Apply polymer-modified tile adhesive suitable for submerged conditions
Use epoxy grout to seal tile joints

Alternative: Crystalline Waterproofing

Apply crystalline slurry to surface or mix in fresh concrete

Chemicals form insoluble crystals that permanently block water pathways

Water Testing Procedure

Perform 24–48 hour ponding test

Fill pool, mark water levels, and observe for any leakage

Only proceed with finishes after successful verification

Advantages of Swimming Waterproofing

Excellent adhesion to concrete and masonry

Long-lasting protection against water and chemicals

Suitable for constant immersion conditions

Flexible — accommodates minor structural movement

Compatible with tile adhesives and pool finishes

Easy to apply (brush, roller, or spray)

Non-toxic — safe for potable water

Maintenance Tips

Periodically inspect for tile cracks or missing grout

Maintain proper pool chemical balance

Repair minor cracks immediately using epoxy or PU injection if seepage occurs

Conclusion

The Swimming Pool Waterproofing System in Dubai provides complete watertight protection for both new and existing pools.Properly applied cementitious, crystalline, or membrane systems, combined with joint treatment and curing, ensure:

When performed by trained professionals and verified with flood testing, it guarantees a long-lasting, maintenance-free swimming pool ready for safe and reliable use.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

What is Ofixo Tech’s Swimming Pool Waterproofing System?

The Ofixo Tech Swimming Pool Waterproofing System is a specialized solution designed to make concrete swimming pools fully impermeable.

Why is waterproofing essential for a swimming pool?

Waterproofing is essential to prevent water leakage, protect the pool’s concrete structure from corrosion caused by continuous water immersion, and more.

What types of waterproofing materials does Ofixo Tech use for swimming pools?

We primarily use cementitious, crystalline, and liquid or sheet membrane-based systems. The choice depends on the pool’s condition, age, and specific requirements.

Can the system withstand hydrostatic pressure?

Yes. The system is specifically designed to resist hydrostatic pressure, which is the force exerted by water.

Is the waterproofing compatible with pool tiles and finishes?

Absolutely. The cementitious and membrane systems provide an excellent, compatible surface for the application of polymer-modified tile adhesives.

Why is surface preparation so important?

Surface preparation is critical to ensure strong adhesion.

How long does the waterproofing need to cure?

The initial air cure typically takes 24 hours. This is followed by a moist curing period of 2–3 days.

What is Crystalline Waterproofing?

Crystalline waterproofing involves applying a chemical slurry that reacts with moisture in the concrete to form insoluble crystals. It is used for its deep-sealing capability and can sometimes be mixed directly into the fresh concrete.

Is the Ofixo Tech waterproofing system resistant to pool chemicals like chlorine?

Yes. Our systems are formulated to be highly durable and resistant to chemicals like chlorine.

How long does the waterproofing protection last?

When properly applied and cured, the waterproofing protection provides long-lasting, durable protection, often lasting for the entire design life of the pool.
