Am building a pool and am still up in the air on sanitizers. This forum has taught me that tab systems are the least desirable. I really want a SWCG but am SUPER spooked about the damage to my coping and decking from the salt. Yes, sealing the stone is an option. I raised the issue of a liquid...

Hello. I am finalizing a contract with a PB (joepaiii, I'm in Prosper; my wide works for Allen ISD). Lots of boulders around pool, weeping wall, coping, and pavers for the deck.
