Pool Fix

Polymer-modified, water-resistant adhesive for fixing tiles in swimming pools, fountains, and water tanks

Pool Fix is a deformable cementitious adhesive with improved characteristics, slip resistance, and extended open time (as per ISO-13007-1 class C2 TE S1 description). It is composed of hydraulic binders, selected aggregates, and special additives. And is supplied as a dry powder in pre-weighed bags ready to use on-site; requiring only the addition of clean water to produce an easily workable mortar.

Pool Fix is applied at a thickness of 3 - 10 mm, depending on the tiles’ type and the substrate’s quality.

Usage Instructions

The surface should be sound, clean, and free from loose material, grease, laitance, dirt, curing compound, etc. 

Wet all surfaces with clean water before the application of Pool Fix. The surface should appear damp with no water pooling.

To prepare mortar adhesive, pour 7.5 – 8.5 litres of water into a container. Add 25 Kg of the powder and mix with a low-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle until a uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved.

Allow the mixed material to stand for about 10 minutes and remix briefly without adding further water.

You can blend Pool Fix manually for small quantities, however, you must maintain the correct ratio of powder to water. Do not add water to the mixture once the mortar adhesive begins to harden.

Spread the mixed mortar adhesive, and firmly press it onto the surface that will be tiled; work with a notched trowel. Spread the mortar adhesive on an area that can be tiled within 10 - 15 minutes. Press the tiles firmly over the mortar adhesive and immediately knock them into the desired position. Adjust the position of the tiles, if required, within the recommended adjustability time of 10 - 15 minutes after installation.

Leave installed tiles undisturbed for at least 48 hours. The mortar adhesive must not rise between the tile joints higher than half the thickness of the tiles. It is recommended to use Vetonit Tile Grout to fill the joint gaps after 2 days of tile installation.

For further information regarding the suitable substrates and tiles on which this product can be safely applied, please contact Saveto’s technical department.

Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Remove the hardened material using mechanical means.
