Q&A 

 

How long does it take for these adhesives and sealants to cure?

 

Cure times vary. Wet R Dry dries quickly, allowing fast repairs; Tufmix Epoxy Putty initial curing is about 24 hours, with full curing taking 5-7 days depending on weather; and Rotabond 2000 also requires a few hours, with maximum curing time based on temperature and conditions. For best results, follow each product’s instructions.

 

Which product is best for repairing a leaking joint in my pool plumbing?

 

To find and repair leaks in pool plumbing, the Blue Horizons Leak-Seeker is highly effective for detecting leaks in pipes or pool surfaces. Once you’ve identified the leak, we recommend using a strong adhesive like Griffon Glue, Wet R Dry, or BlueFast PVC Solvent Cement. These products are designed specifically for pool plumbing and can create a leak-proof bond for both PVC and ABS pipes, even under high-pressure conditions.

  • Griffon Glue works exceptionally fast, forming a quick and durable bond, perfect for underwater and above-ground repairs.
  • BlueFAST PVC Solvent Cement is ideal for joining PVC pipes, sockets, and fittings, including flexible hoses, under wet conditions commonly found in pools and whirlpools. It’s designed for both interference and loose-fit connections, ensuring a secure seal.

The BlueFAST Solvent Cement meets CE14814 and CE14680 standards, making it ideal for high-pressure pool plumbing applications and ensuring a reliable connection for PVC pipes and hoses. These products are available at 1st Direct Pools and are suited for both wet and dry environments, making them a top choice for lasting pool repairs.

 

Are there any special precautions I should take when using these adhesives around water?

 

Safety first! Wear gloves, and ensure the application area is clean. Use in well-ventilated areas, and avoid direct contact with skin. 1st Direct Pools provides detailed instructions and COSH sheets on all our products to guide you through a safe application.
