Ok to use honed marble ledger for spa wall?

[poolguy968]

Hi I’m currently building a pool with a 18 inch raised spa that will be outside and right next to the pool with a spillover.

Right now I’m picking the ledger stone for the exterior spa walls and this palisandro honed marble ledger has really caught my eye.

I’m wondering though, if anybody has experience or knowledge about this kind of product? Is it ok to use for my spa wall, especially next to the spillover? Also just want to mention that this will be a saltwater pool.

If your builder is offering it then it's ok. Saltwater doesn't make any difference. You'll probably end up with some efflorecence though.

That type of uneven surface shown in the picture will be difficult to clean of scale that inevitably forms from evaporation on spa spillover walls. A smooth ceramic or glass surface is much more practical.
