Many years ago we had a problem in Australia wherein a swimming pool complex with a lot of free chlorine in the air experienced some kind of cure failure with Builder’s Bog. It was 20 years or so ago and I cannot recall the details, but it does make me cautious to recommend Builder’s Bog in a working pool environment. Tanalith H3.2 uses CCA impregnation -chrome/copper/arsenic salts. These heavy metals, especially copper, can retard the cure of Builder’s Bog too. So I cannot recommend our product in this application, unless a test is done on a small patch -applying the product, allowing it to cure and then testing the adhesion by attempting to peel off with a sharp blade. If the product cures and there is strong adhesion, then there will be no problems using it. Sorry I cannot be more definite in this instance.
