✨How to Prevent Efflorescence in Water Features?💦

Efflorescence, also known as "white tears," is a common issue in water features and fish ponds. It not only impacts the aesthetics but can also damage the durability of stone or tile surfaces. The main cause is alkaline substances in cement that leach out with water and react with carbon dioxide in the air to form hard calcium carbonate deposits. By using Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive, you can effectively lock in these alkaline substances and prevent the problem from occurring! 🌟

1. Waterproofing the Base Layer: Importance of Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive🛠️

• Applicable Areas: Viewing pools, fish ponds, swimming pools, and staircases.
• Steps:
  1. Prepare the waterproof mortar layer:
     • Mix 1 part Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive with 2.5 parts water to create a "130 mixing liquid."
     • Add 1 part P.O42.5 Portland cement and 2 parts fine sand to the liquid, and mix thoroughly to form the mortar.
  2. Clean the base surface:
     • Thoroughly wash the base with clean water.
  3. Apply the mortar:
     • Depending on the unevenness of the surface, apply 1-3 layers of mortar. Wait until the first layer is finger-dry before applying the next.
  4. Curing time:
     • Allow the mortar to cure for at least 14 days before filling the pool with water.

2. Laying Stone or Tiles: Material Choice Matters🔧

Choosing the right materials is crucial when laying stone or tiles. Using tile adhesive with Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive is an ideal combination for water features. Tile adhesive provides superior waterproofing, adhesion stability, and chemical resistance. When paired with Hanshi 130, it enhances the overall performance, locking in alkaline substances while ensuring a firm bond between the base, tiles, or stone surfaces.

3. Why Choose Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive?💡

• Locks in Alkaline Substances:
  Prevents alkaline substances from leaching out, especially when used with tile adhesive.
• Easy Application:
  Easily integrates with cement mortar and tile adhesive, suitable for various complex environments.

Pro Tips📌

• Ensure thorough waterproofing of the base layer before construction and choose high-quality materials. Hanshi 130 Anti-Efflorescence Additive paired with tile adhesive guarantees long-lasting, durable, and visually appealing stone or tile surfaces.
