My pool plaster, tile and coping was redone in 2008
I converted my pool to salt in 2015
Now some of my coping near the skimmers, jets and overflow are pitting (as seen in the photo below)
It is both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Is there any good solution that will not look like a repair has been done? I am concerned if I use Quikrete patch or sanded grout the colors wont match or blend well and the coping will look spotty like a cheetah (all the repairs will be spots).
While I am no expert, I feel like my plaster, tile and decking should last another 3-5 years (maybe longer) so I don't want the situation to deteriorate and this becomes the weakest link in needing to redo my pool.
I've also read about using a sealer but people complain it makes things slippery and gives things a 'wet' appearance - so if I did this, I'd need to do all the coping, right?
Why is this happening (the pitting)? Am I doing something wrong?
Appreciate any thoughts or advice
