Hello, I am a pool operator in a senior living community. I am new to this facility and need a solution to having a very slippery pool deck. It is flat rubber with poor drainage towards the drain strips. When the puddles form from lack of proper drainage the rubber is extremely slippery, and dangerous with elderly population of patrons. It is easily the slipperiest pool deck I’ve ever managed; even I have lost my footing. I am considering painting with Olympic Super Convoy but would like to get recommendations about this product from other users, as well as recommendations about other possible solutions. Thanks!

Answer:

There are several good products that can be used to gain traction on your pool deck, including the one you recommended. Test a small section if possible to make sure you get the desired traction.
