    Resurface Leuders

    My Leuders coping has various stains on it. How can I resurface it? Grinder? Orbital sander? Etc... What grit? I just want to take thin top layer off. I will be sealing after sanding. Recommendations on sealer?

    New guy here, want a robot.

    Seems to do fine on the steps. Honestly, as well as it cleans... Even if I had to do the steps myself it is well worth it. My wife keeps searching for things to dislike about this robot, so far all she has come up with is that she thinks she might like having a bag instead of the cartridges...

    We just bought a triton plus last week. Seems to clean and climb well. Still getting used to it, but so far so good.

    Quartzscapes, Diamond Brite, or...?

    Thanks. Pool was finished mid-November. We looked at a pool that had this plaster done about 6 months before ours, and it was even more blue. If you want a deeper/darker blue, this may not be the color for you.

    We have DB SuperBlue. We absolutely love it. Not rough, not slippery.... Just right.

    Anyone in DFW have Diamond Brite - Tahiti we can come see?

    Absolutely. PB said first week or two it will be like this until water is balanced and all the "brushing" is done. There is a TON of blue quartz in the plaster.

    We actually went with the Super Blue after all. Never did find a Tahiti to see in person, but after taking the samples with us to numerous other pools, we decided we preferred the Super Blue which has a white plaster as its "base". Whereas the Tahiti base is blue. Plaster was done yesterday...

    The pictures on DB website do not fully match what our eyes saw. Now obviously there are a lot of variables. The pool we saw went from 3' to 9'. The 9' was closer to picture colors than 3' - 5'. Our pool max depth is 5.5'. The shallow end to us looked like plain white plaster that was dirty. I...
