Application of MicroGlass Protectant

Every pool we install comes with MicroGlass, a protectant spray that extends the life of your pool, saving it from discoloration, etching, cracking, and more. Since it dries quickly, you can use your pool right away – on the same day!


MicroGlass is a colloidal silica-based product (liquid form) that penetrates the surface matrix of pool plaster or pebble finishes, reacting chemically to harden the surface and reduce porosity.

Benefits of MicroGlass

Hardens Surface

  • Increases density and durability
  • Reduces erosion and scaling

Decreases Porosity

  • Limits water absorption
  • Helps resist staining and chemical attack

Improves Finish Appearance

  • Enhances luster and uniformity
  • Reduces mottling (blotchy color appearance)

Extends Lifespan

  • Slows down wear-and-tear
  • Minimizes plaster dust during startup

When & How it’s Applied

  • Timing: After plastering and during the startup phase (usually within the first week)
  • Method: Sprayed or poured directly onto the surface, then left to soak and react
  • Compatibility: Works on new and existing plaster, quartz, or pebble finishes 

Things to Keep in Mind

  • It’s not a sealant—it doesn’t form a film, but modifies the material from within
  • Works best as part of a proper startup and maintenance routine
  • Professional application is recommended to ensure even coverage
