I have a new pool that was completed around 2 months ago. Everything turned out well with exception of the decking. Within the first week, staining began on the decking in one corner. Since, it has spread to most areas around the pool. I let my pool builder know, he thought it was just from splashing the outside of the pool. We went 24 hours without swimming with temperatures 105 degrees and greater and no change. My pool is salt water, finish is pebble tec. Any ideas what this is from?

No. It was 112 degrees today and it was hot and dry to the touch with no one having swam in 24 hours.
Can you provide a picture of the waterline tile and the coping in the areas of concern?
Is the same type of staining occurring on the opposite side of the coping that’s against the fake grass?
I don’t have closer pictures of the waterline tile. This picture was 2 weeks ago. I can take better pictures tomorrow. There is nothing obvious at the waterline level in terms of lifting or cracking by the tiles. There is fine cracks here and there in the grout around the pool but nothing out of the ordinary for grout. My concern from what I found online with some other people was possible water getting under at the water line level or between tile and pebble
There is similar staining away from the pool but far less. The majority of the staining is within 1’ of the waterline
