Anything to help get rid of shower grout ?

[glojo]

We are going to bite the bullet and re-grout the flooring of our pool and I would love to hear the advice of anyone that has removed large quantities of grout.. Do Igo for the dremel, or do I go for the similar tool recomended on this thread?

It is a huge area and doing it by hand would take a life time

All advice would be greatly appreciated

From doing my shower....which I should imagine is some what smaller than your pool


I would go for cheap Ukrainian labour...

Plus unless you have a snorkel you'll have to keep coming up for air - will double or triple the time at least!

My wife intends tying me to a 56Ib weight but me thinks I will still float

You may find that your choice of grout will be limited to certain specialist grouts, due to the grout being immersed 24/7 in bromine**.







**Other swimming pool chemicals are available.

We like bromine but I am open to other suggestions..

Regarding the grout removal it looks like the Fein and so far this looks like the best location to buy it from.

I have 2 hot tubs at work... we like bromine too. While it means I can't use a "chlorine shock", we can drain and refill, it's only 2 cu m a time. The fact that bromine works over a wide pH range is one reason for our choice... but the main reason is that when we bought the first hot tub, the supplier gave us a 5kg bucket of bromine.

I guess that if he had given us chlorine, we would be using that instead!

I am confident about the quality of our water

All our water is passed by management.

You can still shock bromine water..

My wife 'shocks' the staff at the local pool shop when she usually asks for 5kg of bromide........ I think the staff take it in turns to serve her because she will always say something to embarrass herself

The good thing about bromine as opposed to chlorine is the lack of pong....

Our swimming pool room does not have that strong chlorine smell
