I’m going all travertine. FWIW my PB was pretty upfront that flagstone and limestone do the worst with salt. He also said there are sealants out there you can use.

What are your thoughts on the straight edge? Was bull nose a choice? One builder uses straight edge, the others use bull nose.. I am trying to figure out which I would prefer!
Yeah Bull.. at least for mine...we sealed with the supposed right sealer.... here we are.. oh well... your smart!

I’d like to see some pictures of “damage” to Travertine from a SWG pool. Please post if anybody has them.
its not travertine that has the damage, its flagstone.. I am looking to replace it with travertine.... my neighbor has travertine with salt pool and its holding up well.
Other than some landscaping and coping work, we are done! I ran my first water tests today and came up with the following:
FC: 8
CC: 0.5
pH: 7.6
TA: 80
CH: 100
CYA: 43
SALT: 2400 ppm
Based on this, I'm going to add some Calcium (target 300 ppm) and Salt (target 3000 ppm). I've also ramped the SWG down since the FC is so high. For CYA, I will let the startup tabs the PB provided finish dissolving and then look into upping that as well if it's still low. Thoughts?
