Dayron, First remove any loose grout and clean the fountain good. Then re-grout using a non- sanded grout and add a latex additive into the grout. The latex can be purchased at tile and grout suppliers and at Home Depot or Lowes. When nixing you grout in place of water add latex approximately 50 to 75 % the balance add water. The latex will do two things, one it will help the grout to bond to the tiles, second it will harden the grout where the moisture and the chemicals in the fountain will not attack the grout as fast. CAUTION:: do not mix too much grout at one time, the latex increases the cure time. do a good clean up as you go. This it the simplest way to handle this. I do a fountain with the same 2 X2 tiles blue color in a mall in Orlando 4 years ago and the grout still look good and still bonding well. \ We clean this fountain every year and inspect the grout and all is well Hope this help John E Freitag Director The Stone & Tile School Office 407-567-7652 Cell 407-615-0134 jfreitag@thestoneandtileschool.com www.thestoneandtileschool.com -----Original Message----- From: list-manager@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com [mailto:list-manager@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com] On Behalf Of Dayron Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2014 10:22 AM To: Stone and Tile PROS Technical Support Subject: Tile Grout Fountain Hey Gang, have a very good client, and she has an issue with the fountain and her floors.
