Is your swimming pool surface showing signs of wear, staining, or cracking? Pool resurfacing doesn’t have to be a lengthy, disruptive process. ecoFINISH has revolutionized the pool renovation industry with aquaBRIGHT, offering Carlton Pools customers a superior alternative to traditional plaster and aggregate finishes. Discover why homeowners are making the switch to this innovative pool surface technology.

Durability and Resistance to Common Pool Finish Issues

aquaBRIGHT is engineered to outlast traditional pool finishes by addressing many of the most common problems that plague plaster, paint, and gelcoat. Where plaster can crack, etch, or develop rough spots over time—and paint can peel or fade—aquaBRIGHT provides a tough, flexible coating that’s built to handle the constant exposure to water, chemicals, and sunlight.

One of the biggest strengths of aquaBRIGHT is its resistance to chipping, flaking, and delamination. Its flexibility helps prevent cracking from temperature changes or structural shifts—problems that often lead to premature failure in other finishes.

Quick Application and Curing Process

aquaBRIGHT stands out for how fast and efficient the installation process is compared to traditional pool finishes like plaster or paint. The coating is applied using a specialized flame-spray system, which bonds thermoplastic polymer powder directly to the pool surface. Because it’s a dry, heat-applied process, there’s no extended cure time like you’d have with plaster, which can take several days to fully set and requires a careful start-up process to avoid damage.

With aquaBRIGHT, most projects are completed in just a day or two, and you can start filling the pool 24 hours after application. That means less downtime for homeowners. This fast turnaround is especially valuable for resurfacing projects, where time is often limited between swim seasons.

Benefits of aquaBRIGHT for Pool Owners

Reduced Maintenance and Chemical Usage

aquaBRIGHT dramatically lowers the maintenance burden for pool owners thanks to its non-porous, chemical-resistant surface. Traditional finishes like plaster tend to absorb water and chemicals over time, which causes fluctuations in pH and sanitizer levels. This leads to frequent adjustments and increased chemical usage just to maintain balanced water.

The finish also resists algae growth, staining, and calcium buildup, all of which are common problems with porous surfaces. That means less brushing, fewer shock treatments, and overall fewer headaches when it comes to keeping the pool clean and swim-ready.

Over time, this reduced need for chemical input and manual cleaning translates to meaningful savings—both in time and in cost. Owners who switch to aqaBRIGHT often find that their pool becomes significantly easier to maintain, even during peak summer months or when using saltwater systems

Customizable Colors for Personalized Pool Design

Beyond performance, ecoFINISH offers unmatched design flexibility. It comes in a wide selection of rich, fade-resistant colors. This allows homeowners to choose a finish that reflects their taste and complements the overall backyard aesthetic.
