    concrete around pool lighter from being under winter cover - pics

    Concrete was not stained - just plain with brushed finish. We did it that way so we'd have hopefully minimum upkeep

    Anyone ever experience this? The lighter portion around the pool was that under the winter cover. This was after the 2nd winter the pool has seen. We are hoping to fix since it's rather unsightly. Tried 3000PSI pressure washer with very minor improvement. Cover has been off for over a week now...
