Discuss Problem with Ardex Grout FS Innocent Black in the Tile Adhesive and Grout Advice area at TilersForums.com.
we were so careful and can honestly say there was no excess water anywhere near the grout joint.I always us Ardex grout.
have had similar problems with dark grouts, but believe it's due to water laying in joint after the wash.
You're right - however I spoke to Topps to ask if they were having any complaints about their grout and they said they used, but none for a while and that their new Bal grout boasts 'efflorescence free'. Not sure if this is correct as I have no experience of using Bal except on a sample board. Wow, their black is very black!These issues aren't exclusive to ardex, BAL grout is renowned for it as are others, something needs to change
Just another thought. I have just come back from hols and as you do, stood there looking at the tiling in the rest rooms to see an entire wall of black grout, gone white. Must have been 30m of it. Wasn't a cheap set up.I always us Ardex grout.

Julian - do you mix it drier than what Ardex recommends? I know a lot of tilers just mix the amount of water that feels right. Just curious to know if you mix the Ardex recommended amounts of water or what is in your experience the correct amount.I always us Ardex grout.

I have a similar ongoing problem with another grout manufacturer.......you know that you have followed the guidelines to a tee,and it still happens!Ive never had an issue with this grout before, installation has been no different than previous , weather has been veey mild so no frost has effected the product,.
It only leaves one other reason, there has been a manufacturing glich and a bad batch has been sent out
Too often tilers get the blame for not following procedures and quite frankly i get board of the same line.
Now i have to rake out all the grout at my own time and cost because the builder and ardex will run for the hills and its easier to blame me

I think from a consumer law point of view @JulianSidney is correct as you have no contract with Ardex but you would with shop .I understand your frustration, I've had it with ardex before, 6001 Adhesive. Imo and experience they will never admit liability, as many manufactures won't. Best you'd likely to get is more of there products to compensate you.
you need to be more of pain in the side of the shop you bought it and Ardex them selves.
as good as we think we are....it is sometimes fixer error
