Nor sure which section to post this.
I have a large bluestone (thermal trublue) patio surrounding my new pool. They are installed properly over a 6" concrete slab. We finally just converted the newly constructed pool to salt water this week and Im starting to heavily worry about the salt damage on the patio. Its only been 2 days so far and I see all these outlines of salt marks where the drippings and puddles from people getting in and out have made. I never even thought about this salt factor on the insanely expensive bluestone deck, which cost nearly as much as the pool did.
I have read for several hours online and of course there are many schools of thought. Some say don't seal, some say do seal, and some say just spray down after each use. I am also worried because I installed pex tubes underneath to take the heat from the hot bluestone and put the hot water into the pool.
I just wish I could find the best answer for protecting the bluestone and for the grout lines, which are showing ugly discoloration already. I almost tempted to go back to chlorine and ditch the salt water generator if I can't find a solution that works and I comfortable with.
I tried posting pics but is says file too large??
Thank you!
