🏊 Restoring a Cracking and Leaking Swimming Pool with Dura-Rubber & Dura-Rubber High Build
📍 Project Location: Lazy River Pool – Branson Hotel, Missouri
🔧 Problem
The hotel's lazy river pool was experiencing structural issues:
* Visible Cracks:
* Cracks had formed throughout the pool surface.
* Persistent Water Loss: Resulting in higher utility bills and constant refilling.
* StructuralDeterioration: Threatened the long-term usability of the pool.
* Unsustainable Repairs: Previous patching methods were temporary and expensive.
*Environmental Concerns: Management sought a non-toxic, eco-friendly coating solution.
🛠️ Solution:
Dura-Rubber + Dura-Rubber High Build SystemTo address the pool's challenges, the hotel implemented a full restoration using the Dura-Rubber system:
1. Surface Preparation: Pool was drained and pressure-washed to remove contaminants and debris. A primer coat was applied to ensure optimal adhesion.
2. Application of Dura-Rubber High Build: Two thick base coats of Dura-Rubber High Build were spray-applied. These coats eliminated the need for detailed crack or corner prep and created a durable foundation.
3. Topcoat Finish: Once the High Build layers dried, a Dura-Rubber topcoat in Blue was applied. The result a seamless, waterproof, and visually appealing surface.
💡 Key Benefits
Crack Resistance & Durability: High Build provided structural reinforcement, preventing future cracking. Waterproofing: The Dura-Rubber system created a non-porous membrane, effectively sealing leaks. Time & Cost Savings: The system reduced prep time and downtime, and cost less than traditional resurfacing (e.g., plaster or fiberglass). Safe & Eco-Friendly Low VOC, non-toxic formulation safe for guests and the environment.
✅ Outcome
Hotel management was extremely satisfied with the results: Drastic reduction in water loss Improved pool aesthetics Long-term protection with minimal maintenance. Eliminated need for recurring repair costs
🏁 Conclusion
By choosing Dura-Rubber and Dura-Rubber High Build, the Branson hotel successfully restored its lazy river pool with a cost-effective, flexible, and eco-conscious waterproofing solution. This project stands as a clear example of how Dura-Rubber can extend the life of commercial pools without the financial burden of full resurfacing.

Salisbury DIY Pool.
I give it 5 stars (your product) out of 5.
When done right, and layered properly (multiple coats and a primer, not thick but thin), the pool comes out perfect.I built the entire pool by hand. I also dug it out by hand and put dirt in buckets.I did all the concrete block and added rebar both vertical and horizontal in each cell.The finish coat was rapid set cement then your primer followed by the rubberize it white coats. 3 in all.
Thank you Sir!-Brett Salisbury

Pool Restoration
(I had the opportunity to work the rubberizeit team. They are in Oregon and I am I Texas.
I was looking to refresh my pool/spa via high end paint vs a costly re-plaster. Their paint was a perfect solution. I needed 20-25 gallons to get two full coats. Although there was a small snag with my initial order the rubberizeit customer service team jumped into action and handled all my questions and even provided additional paint to resolve the earlier snag with the initial order. Impressed with the product and the company.)

Flood Protection
I first purchased rubberizeit over 5 years ago to protect our house in Louisiana from the flooding.Every year Rita and I would have to dry out carpet and fix damaged drywall from flooding.I removed 12” of siding and replaced it with cement board and waterproofed it with rubberizeit. For five years our house has been dry. I painted my house this year and the rubberizeit I put on five years ago was black I purchased a five of rubberizeit and they were able to tint it to match my house.Thank you Mr Paul

Waterproofing Deck
Rubberize It! liquid rubber coating was the perfect solution for me. By painting the bonding layer up my walls, into my corners, and down my pitches there was no folding, pleating, or splicing I needed to do and it made one integral coating. Next I laid down my mesh, since this is thin mesh and not a water impervious sheet, I could just lay it and push it into my bonding layer and it created a continuous layer across my entire surface and all my abutments. This year I need to build two more decks on opposite corners of the house. Two more batches of Rubberize It! liquid rubber please. Thank you for providing me this great solution that fit my custom project.

Fountain
I want to thank you for the development of Rubberizeit Dura-Rubber We purchased this house 10 years ago. One of the features my spouse liked was the fountain at the end of the driveway. The disclosure statement said the fountain leaked. Being an engineer, there is no problem too big. When we filled it and started the pump, the fountain leaked so bad, it was out of water in 3 hours. I contacted the mason who built it, and he said it should be torn down and redone properly. He indicated when the previous owner wanted it made, she wanted it made out of rock, using the concrete driveway for the bottom. He informed her that it would develop cracks and start leaking.
