What Customers Say about ARMORKOTE pool restoration system.

David Sides, Holland, PA

My 40-year-old pool was cracked, losing water and was painted every 3 to 4 years. Before making a decision about which company and which product to use I spoke to 15 to 20 pool owners and saw installations done with the UltraGuard product. I know it’s a product that will outlast its guarantees. Yes! I would definitely recommend the UltraGuard product.

This is the second time I have refinished my pool. The first time I used another product and after all the work it failed in about 4 years. This time I avidly researched the product and after seeing what was available, choose to use UltraGuard. Not only did I get step by step instructions but also a live coach to help me with the installation. I am impressed. This material is tough as nails, went on as advertised, looks great, has product MDS sheets, and historical documentation of use and reliability, and a warranty. My pool now looks beautiful. I recommend this to everyone!

“I would normally not give a testimonial on any product, but because I am so happy with UtraGuard, I have no problems doing so. My 27-year old pool needed a facelift. I looked at my options, but realized, the only intelligent decision for pool resurfacing is UltraGuard. I found it to be a virtually maintenance free product. My savings on chemicals were substantial, and best of all I have not had a chronic algae problem. My local UltraGuard contractor was able to offer me a 10-year warranty where no other company or product was able to do. Yes, I would definitely recommend UtraGuard.”

“UltraGuard exceeded my expectations. UltraGuard really adhered to my pool surface and our polymer surface is a lovely color and incredibly tough. I can truthfully say the benefits that are mentioned on the website are correct. I found it to be a virtually a maintenance free surface. I highly recommend the industrial UltraGuard coating. I would be happy to be your Texas representative. ” Dr. Jerry Dobson Ph.D Professor emeritus of chemistry

My first experience with Ultraguard was in 2008. I was looking for something to re-plaster my pool and wanted to do it myself to save money. I knew that pool plaster was out of the question because of the process and the number of workers involved to accomplish the task. I didn’t want to use pool paint because that just does not last. So I started searching the internet to see if I could find another way. That’s where I found Ultraguard.

I called and talked to Ken about the product and it sounded like something I could do myself. You only need two people to apply the product. So, I ordered the least expensive grade (there are three different product grades that apply to the thickness of the material).

After I received the product, Ken sent me detailed instructions as to how to prepare the pool for application of the product. He made sure that I called him after every step. It is important that the steps outlined in the instructions are followed correctly.

The important thing is to take your time. I hurried a little too much because of the time constraints once the product is mixed. There is plenty of time for two people to apply the product once it is mixed.

It is 2017 and I just finished application of my second UltraGuard experience, and my pool looks great. Great product and I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you for being available every time I called. Even on a Sunday (Mother’s Day). You were very helpful. The UltraGuard went on very well just as you explained. We are very happy with the results. Here are some pictures of before and after. Everyone says how nice it looks. We had a rubber-based paint on it for years and then last year they came out with a primer that you could use over the rubber-based paint and paint it with epoxy. Well that didn’t work for anything. It blistered, and we had to sandblast the pool so we thought we would try your ultraguard. It looks wonderful and we are very happy with the results.

We recently installed the UltraGuard gray into our pool and we LOVE it. I love its smooth feel- sure beats that rough pebble tec!!! Here are some photos of it with and without water. We were surprised how blue the water looks with the pool full- but it is definitely different looking than when it was just plaster. We are so thrilled and everyone we know loves the color. Thank you for all your help and support during the process.

I am the Director of Operations of a major International Plastics Manufacturer. I have been in the Plastics Industry for 24 years. Knowing the properties of plastics, and their chemical resistance and my research into UltraGuard, I believe it is the best swimming pool interior on the market today. I would be happy to speak to you if you are considering UltraGuard.

“My Fiberglass wall had blisters and the pool was leaking. I searched the Internet and found the UltraGuard system. I realized that it was capable of solving my problems. I highly recommend this product.”

I wanted to thank you for selling a great product. You were there to answer every question I had, even on the weekend. You walked me through every step and gave me the confidence that I was doing it right. It was a long hard road, but I am very happy with the final results. It took about 10 weeks from start to finish. I believe my pool is 20-30 years old. It is made of concrete coated with plaster then coated with a blue paint. The plaster was chipping and popping off. The paint rubbed off in many spots and would chalk when rubbed. The water line tile was replaced with glass tile. I applied 1 very thick coat to the pool and 2 very thick coats to the spa. I used 1 unit of bond coat and 4 units of UltraGuard 6000 Medium Gray Color Coat to complete the project. I have attached several pictures of my journey.

I applied your product to my spa. I applied three coats of ‘Charcoal Gray’ “UltraGuard 6000” over your primer. I sanded the entire surface and then power washed it before starting the epoxy application.

One unit of the UltraGuard 6000 was enough to coat my spa with three coats and there is enough left over to add another coat. When I do the pool, I’ll probably add another coat to the spa. The toughest part is the prep work and taping the tiles and nozzles and drains.

As you can see, the spa looks great. I’ll be in touch when I’m ready to do the pool.

I’m a mechanical engineer and owner of a 40+ year old hybrid pool (fiberglass sidewall with concrete basin). Since I’ve owned this pool I’ve repaired leaks and re-painted it with chlorinated rubber three times over the past 10 years. I was nearly ready for the backhoe. Thankfully we (wife, kids, and I) decided it was time for the old pool finish to go. I won’t say that removing 40+ year old cracked and deteriorated fiberglass gel coat and dozens of gallons of paint was an easy job, but after doing so I wasn’t about to re-apply the same old products as were applied before man walked on the moon. I knew there was a better way. After a lot of research, I decided to use the UltraGuard 6000 product. I received samples of the product and found it to be highly chemically resistant and durable. My initial concern was for maintaining the structural integrity of the product over the fiberglass wall joints and cracks within the concrete basin of my pool. It was your experience with hybrid pool construction and UltraGuard’s approach for glassing over these joints and cracks using the UltraGuard resin primer with flexural enhancers, which convinced me that this approach was the best solution for my pool. I believe the application of the UltraGuard 6000 product has resulted in a “better than new” pool surface.

After enduring a miserable 23 straight days of rain in June, we were finally able to go ahead with the application process the first weekend in July. The staff were very patient with us during our installation. We called before every step and they were always readily available or got back to us immediately. With dry weather and the sound direction of the staff, the application process was quick and seamless. After replacing our deck and applying the Ultraguard 6000 (Medium Grey with a darker grey stripe in place of tile), our pool area looks brand new. This product looks and feels like it will stand the test of time, we are excited about the prospects of a maintenance free pool for the next 10 years.

TOM AND TEMPLE RICHARDSON – GREENSBORO, NC

The staff were incredibly patient with us during our installation. We called before practically every step and they were always available or called us back within 5 minutes. Our pool has never looked better. We had three contractors look at our dilapidated 30+ year old pool and told us they would not paint it. They all wanted $10,000 or more to re-plaster it. We put the UltraGuard product on ourselves for around $1,500 including product, tools and supplies. That’s an $8,500 savings and it looks BETTER than a plaster restoration. Our pool has color and looks brand new! Thank you, guys, for everything.

“As a mechanical engineer, I never make a final decision until I thoroughly research all of the technical properties, benefits and history of the product. Our 30-year-old pool was in need of major restoration, but considering the limited options (paint, plaster, and fiberglass) and the history of failures these products have had, I realized that UltraGuard was the only logical long lasting pool interior.”
