So my family and I have taken to watching Pool Kings. For those not familiar, its a reality TV show that follows people's pool builds from start to finish.

One of the features I a lot of is an infinity edge which are typically finished woth tile. However, i have seen some where they finish it with pebble tech or similar. This makes me wonder how long that would last considering (at least to my knowledge) plaster/pebble tech needs the be constantly under water and an infinity edge may not always be "on" or fully covering the plaster/pebble with water.

What's others thoughts on this?
 
I have stone on my infinity edge wall and Pebbletec in my catch basin. The stone stops above the basin water level so the top 6” or so of my basin is Pebbletec that experiences wet/dry cycles as the water level goes up and down. The top foot of the Pebbletec has lots of surface cracks. I wish my pool had several rows of tile at the top of the basin. I cannot imagine an entire wall of Pebbletec. That would be a disaster.
