    New resurface possible mottling and blotchiness

    I recently had my pool resurfaced using Miami blue quartz (white with quartz) and I’m getting mixed opinions on if this is normal. In the shade I’m noticing blotchiness and white marks throughout the pool, in direct sunlight it’s not as noticeable. It’s been 2 weeks since completion and I’ve...

    Mysterious staining on quartz finish

    Hi there, I'd like some advice on some staining that's occurred recently on an established quartz finished pool. It seems to have been triggered by the addition of pool salt but I can't really say for sure as you can't see the stains in full sunlight and I didn't see the staining straight...

    NPT Quartzscapes or MiniPebbleTec?

    Need help deciding between these 2 finishes for our new pool build! Our PB has been pushing MiniPebbleTec, but we had been leaning towards a Quartz finish.

    Red Quartz High In Iron? Will it stain?

    We are selecting the stone to cover the face of our spa. The stone will be partially submerged in the water as well as have a waterfall effect rolling over it. We picked out a reddish Quartz but want to make sure it won’t stain from the iron. Any experience or suggestions?

    Quartzcapes vs Stonescapes

    I realize this has been asked and I have read through those posts, but I was wondering if some of the members that chose quartzcapes can comment on how it has held up over the years. We bought our house and the pool needs resurfacing. I like the QS a little better than the SS, but the both the...

    Wire Brush + Quartz Pool = Discoloration

    I decided to use a wire brush to try and tackle a few stubborn stains (of unknown type) and I can see the areas where we brushed are lighter in color than the areas we didn't brush. Should quartz finishes discolor when using a wire brush? I can't tell if the spot is just cleaner or actually...
