had my in-ground pool put in last year. i did not seal the exposed aggragate concrete last year, but thinking about it this year. LOTS of products out there. who has had success/failure with certain products?
in the end is it really worth the effort? it seems you need to re-seal every year or two once you do it- some peels and cracks, that would be awful. it would help the appeal, since it would give it a "wet look" and highlight the stones more. overall, our water doesnt stay on the concrete long, there is plenty of slope to the perimeter drains. i am not convinced its required to have lasting concrete.
