Slimming pool grouting

The first thing you need to do is determine whether you have sanded or non-sanded grout. This is important because regrouting should only be done to non-sanded grout joints.

It is important that you remove at least 1/16 of an inch of grout for the new grout to embed itself in. If you do not, it will surely flake off the next time you clean.

Important tools to use to make the job easier:

First, for the grout removal process you will need:

* First choice: Roto Zip with a diamond tile cutting blade and attachment (This tool is for an advance user and should only be used by someone who is not afraid of the speed in which it spins. This tool will yield the best results for all field areas but it an also cause damage if not handled properly.
* Second choice: Fein Multimaster with a diamond cutter not carbide. (This tool is for an advance and novice user and is the safest tool for removal but takes a little longer. It has alot of other uses also and in my opinion is a great investment)
* Dremel with tile cutting bit (This tool is for edges, corners and touch-ups)
* Wet or Dry Vac
* Razor Scraper for removing old caulking

These are the most important tools for the removal process and will yield the best results for both minor removal and removal on a large scale. There are other hand tools you can use but are only good for very small jobs.

Next, you will need tools for the grouting process:

* 2 Buckets (One for mixing grout and one for water)
* Grout Float
* Margin Trowel for mixing
* Grout Sponge
* Terry Towels for cleaning, final dusting and sealing

Now you need the supplies to clean and prepare the joints for the new grout and seal the new grout.

* Phosphoric Acid Cleaner
* 511 Impregnating Sealer
* Chemical resistant spray bottle
* Scrub Brush
*3M Heavy Duty scrub pads
