Stone Sealer?

[Guest]

The coping has been installed on the pool and it is "Silver Valley". Its a natural stone, limestone.

Please can anyone recommend what sealer we should use on it?

Thanks!

I used Dupont Stonetech for salt water pools (ordered off Amazon). Great stuff and I'm sure it would work well in your situation. Very happy with it about 4 months in.

This is what our PB is quoting to use as well. I can't give any feedback on it as our pool hasn't been built yet.

Thank you to both of you above. Is this what you are referring to - http://www.amazon.com/StoneTech-Salt-Wa ... ter+sealer

Can that be used for both the limestone as well as pavers?
How often will I need to be doing it?
Does it give a wet look?
Does it make the stone slippery?

This specifically mentions as being suitable for Limestone, the first link did not. I'm afraid I don't know whether it is or not it's just the 2nd link specifically states it.

I used in my coping tile. Was no more slippery after application (although stone was a bit slippery prior to application). I think it will last for 1-2 years but that I likely an overestimation. I would guess apply once per year but don't hold me to it. Ill reapply once water stops beading. Interestingly, some Olympic sealer I was using on my pergola over sprayed on my coping tile and it works better than the stone tech!
