Replace stone veneer on hot tub spilling into pool.

The stone veneer on my round hot tub is falling apart after we redid it ten years ago. It wasn't done right obviously.
So the pool guy I"m using suggests Rstone natural thin stone veneers. At the stone place, we chose Country Fieldstone mosaic. It's not what I would have chosen from website pictures but we liked it.

Now I'm reading that in general, fieldstone is not good in contact with water. It's apparently too porous.

So, I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this? I'm worried about leaching also. I have a swg system. Part of the stone is underwater and spillovers flow over the stonework. I haven't gotten back to my pool guy yet.

Any general stone advice? Rstone website
Thanks
 
Is this a spillover hot tub Inyo a pool?

Show us pictures of the pool and hot tub and where the stone will go.

In general I recommend porcelain tile on pool/spa spillovers and walls.
