At Mid‑America Pool Renovation, we turn up the pressure where it matters most. In the KC area, hydro‑blasting is our go-to method for preparing pool shells. Operating at 40,000 PSI, it removes old coatings, failing plaster, paint, and degraded materials—without harming the concrete beneath. Precise, powerful, and engineered for long-term adhesion.
A solid renovation begins with proper surface prep. Whether it’s a backyard pool in Overland Park or a municipal facility in North Kansas City, hydro‑blasting sets the foundation. At 40,000 PSI, it shapes a rugged profile that new coatings can grip—far outperforming outdated methods like sandblasting or bond coats.
Surface Removal at 40,000 PSI: Strips coatings and weak material clean
No Dust or Microcracking: Water-based approach protects the shell
Ideal Bonding Profile: Jagged peaks encourage superior adhesion
Wide Application Range: Works for full resurface or targeted spot prep
Sandblasting used to be the go-to for pool prep, but it’s no longer the best option, especially for long-lasting performance. Unlike sandblasting, which flattens the surface and can leave behind hidden contaminants, hydro-blasting uses high-pressure water to create a jagged, clean profile ideal for bonding new finishes.
