Application area · Pools and water tanks
In a pool, the water must always stay inside
Pools and water tanks operate under constant water pressure; chlorinated water, temperature differences and movement put the waterproofing under strain. Over time, even a small leak causes permanent damage to the concrete and reinforcement.
Izowhite pool solutions bring together products that work from within the concrete and on its surface: Powercon, resistant to chlorinated water and suitable for use in drinking water tanks; Kristalize, resistant to negative and positive water pressure; fully elastic Two-Component under tiles; and UV-resistant Water Cutter, which can be left exposed.

Application
Pool waterproofing step by step
- The surface is cleaned of oil, rust, cement residue and dirt; it must be sound and clean.
- Large pores and cracks are filled with repair mortar.
- Vertical and horizontal junctions are bridged with geotextile felt, mesh or chamfer tape.
- The surface is dampened; Izowhite Powercon is brushed on in two or three coats, each coat perpendicular to the previous one.
- Each coat is applied while the previous one is starting to set but is still fresh.
- Outdoor surfaces are protected from sun, wind, frost and rain for the first 24 hours.
- On surfaces to be tiled, Izowhite Two-Component is applied under the tiles.
