Any type of sealer with some gloss like those they put concrete will likely need maintenance every year or two especially around a pool with chlorine, salts and high walking area. Only penetrating sealer like silane siloxane can work for 5-10 years depending on the application but they do not...

Not directly answering your question but you may want to ask for quotes to replace the sand bottom with concrete. If you like your pool and use it a lot maybe it is worth the investment but it is likely to triple your renovation cost. These days pool company have the luxury to chose their...

Mine was installed October 29th last year in Quebec Canada. They started it was already dark (no sun) and temperature as below 50, like much closer to 40 and they also had to use hot water. I was really stressed but the install is flawless. Do not let them go without fixing it properly. This...
